good morning watch dog thread.......wait? good morning watch dog thread??!!!

 

[Corpekata]

Why would they possibly do that?

So fans can have something to mutter into their pillow to convince themselves it's not their console of choice's fault.

 

[kiguel182]

The game isn't even out and it's already the most entertaining game of the year.

So many twists and turns.

 

[plagiarize]

Yeah, I mean. I woke up expected this thread to be lying face down dead with a knife in it's back, but instead it's still running around and jumping up and down.

Hopefully we don't have to wait too much longer for confirmation of what the heck is going on.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Lol this is pure crazy cant Ubisoft just come out and tell us.

With the way things have been going with this game over the past couple years, I just don't see it doing well. Still going to buy it and see for myself.

 

[blastprocessor]

If it's really 60fps 1080p well to me it just confirms cross-gen port with the usual slightly better textures, post processing...

 

[CyanideFuse]

continues.

[Darklor01]

If it isn't 1080p/60, but the gameplay is good, is it a fail?

 

[fasTRapid]

http://www.nowgamer.com/news/2394596/watch_dogs_is_1080p_60fps_on_ps4_says_ubisoft.html

Perhaps the suggestion that Watch Dogs won't be 1080p/60fps on Xbox One is false and it is this that has caused Sony to edit the text?

LMAO.


I'm just happy now looking back at the thread and the huge load of simple 'no, ps4 would melt' type of drive-by comments.

Best post:

Giant Bomb mentioned that they were showing the PC version (with DS4 controller) along with the PS4 version and that the PC version was running noticeably smoother.

Or was it the PC version....

Also we need another title change.

 

[MJLord]

Saw this on my FB feed this morning.

"Confirmed."

Anyone else try to read that to the rhythm of Ignition? How can they do that to people xD Got to "Headline act" then was disappointed ;_;

 

[ScepticMatt]

A german IT news site had a chance to play Watch Dogs for one and a half hour on the PS4 last week in Berlin.
They are reporting that Ubisoft talked about 1080p and 60Fps.
The reviewer couldnt notice any frame drops. I think thats some good news.

No. And axe sales? U crazy?

 

[Remark]

I've been looking at this thread for a minute and all I can say is that in so confused.

Is it 1080/60 or not!

:S

99% likely not.

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

So is this 60fps or not? Funny Sony would have it plastered all over it's page for a week if it wasn't.

No.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Watch_Dogs |OT| : Why can't I hold all these FPS?

 

[KJRS_1993]

So fans can have something to mutter into their pillow to convince themselves it's not their console of choice's fault.

Dude. Seriously.
They're just computer games.
If that kind of thing bothered people that much, they would just buy the other console, or a PC.

Shite like this is getting ridiculous on this forum now.
If you don't have nothing nice to say and all that.

It sounds like you've never seen the IGN or N4G forums.

 

[Jhn]

Morin needs to just come out of his bunker and clarify this already, it's getting a bit ridiculous.

 

[Marc]

If the game is full of jaggies, I'm gonna be mad. I'm willing to sacrifice 60fps for a nice AA.

If you sacrificed 60fps you will be left with a still picture.






Was too good to be true, although I would want 30fps and better graphics as well.

 

[KJRS_1993]

It sounds like you've never seen the IGN or N4G forums.

I have, and that's why it's the more aggravating to watch this forum descend to that level of passive aggression, snark and rudeness / contempt for people who enjoy something different from yourself.

Sort it awt aye.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

30FPS

60FPS

 

[Scoot2005]

LMAO^^

 

[Always-honest]

It looks like the game will have visible jaggies.\Maybe better to make the gamer 900P 30fps with good AA?

 

[Orayn]

I had always assume Watch Dogs would use decent-ish post processing AA like Assassin's Creed.

 

[InfiniteNine]

30FPS

60FPS

That cat is adorable.

Also I'll wait this out since this will help me on deciding to get it for my PS4 or just wait till my PC is more capable.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Lol this is pure crazy cant Ubisoft just come out and tell us.

The marketing and messaging for this game has been so bad. The same with Titanfall; the lack of publisher or developer engagement with fans or efforts to quash rumours is really hurting them. I don't think Destiny has been that much better, but at least they've still got four months until release.

 

[xenist]

Watch_Dogs 4K 144fps on Wii. Confirmed.

And no one is going to straight come out and deny anything. Even if one in a hundred people bites it's still money for them.

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

Someone needs to grab the bull by the horns and get a straight awnser from Morin or someone. The fact Ubi let this get so out is baffling.

Yeah. Lets not even begin about how many editions of the game there are, which is just incredibly confusing.

 

[GameAddict411]

ok, i am legitimately shocked right now.

 

[Green Yoshi]

Golem.de claims that it runs very fluid but they would have preferred better graphics and 30 FPS. They say that the graphics looks only average on PS4.

There is a fog between us and them, whoever them you may think of.

What's German for "avarage"? They just wanted cut the framerate in half and improve the graphics. I'm reading nothing about "avarage", though you could choose to read that. It could even be true.

if its going to look like the 2013 e3 demo, than i am more than ok with this downgrade.

maybe they wanted to reveal this info in a better way, like a surprise or something. they didn't want it to leak accidently through the official playstation website.

 

[OnionPowder]

The press around this game sure is whacky.

Preparing for 1080p/30FPS with minimal drops.

thanx ;P

though i allready knew. he chose a word that wasn't mentioned.

I mean this silence is causing stupidity like:

 

[sjay1994]

Some marketing guy from Sony jumped the gun. Simple.

I haven't seen a console open world game running at 60fps due to focus on effects, probably won't see them for a while.

 

[BRocknRolla]

30FPS

60FPS

Wonderful.

I jumped on this morning to see this thread again and just thought, "What the hell are people still discussing about this?" only to find that the mystery has actually deepened. What a ridiculous ride.

Full quote on graphics:

Den leicht verwaschenen Texturen (platte Blätter!) mangelt es an Tiefe und auf die Entfernung an anisotroper Filterung, die dynamischen weichen Schatten könnten höher aufgelöst sein. Die Spielfiguren wiederum sind detailliert ausgearbeitet, ohne aber an die Charaktere eines Crysis 3 heranzureichen - was auch an der eingeschränkten Mimik liegt, die nicht durchgehend Emotionen vermittelt. Das ist schade, da die Sprecher im Englischen überzeugen.

Bei Nacht durch den geringen Kontrast kaum, bei Tage umso deutlicher zu sehen ist, dass die Umgebungslichtverdeckung der PS4-Version fehlt oder nur sehr schwach ausgeprägt ist. Viele Objekte scheinen daher in der Luft zu schweben, zumal nicht alle einen Schatten werfen.

Watch Dogs ist trotz dieser Kritikpunkte beileibe kein hässliches Spiel, die angespielte Version hat uns aber hinsichtlich der Grafik ernüchtert - kein Wunder, müssen die Entwickler doch Rücksicht auf die Last-Gen-Konsolen nehmen. Ubisoft spricht vollmundig von 1080p bei 60 fps für die Playstation 4 und in der Tat zeigte das Spiel subjektiv kaum Bildrateneinbrüche. Anderseits wären 30 fps und eine höhere Rendering-Qualiät unserer Ansicht nach die bessere Option gewesen, möglicherweise hätte Ubisoft dann aber bei der Xbox One zu viele Abstriche machen müssen.

English:
The slightly blurred textures (2d leaves!) lack depth and in the distance anisotropic filtering, dynamic soft shadows could use a higher resolution. In turn the character models are highly detailed, though not reaching Crysis 3, which is also due to the limited facial expressions that do not consistently convey emotions. This is a shame, because their voice overs are convincing.

At night you see it due to the low contrast barely, during the day it's more obvious that the ambient light occlusion in the PS4 version is either missing or turned down to a minimum. That leads to many objects seemly floating in the air, especially since not every thing casts a shadow.

Despite these points of criticism Watch Dogs is by no means an ugly game, though the version we played was graphically underwhelming - not really surprising considering the developers have to make it work on last-gen consoles as well. Ubisoft talked holeheartedly about 1080p at 60 fps for the Playstation 4 and in fact the game had subjectively barely any frame rate dips. On the other hand, we would have preferred it to be 30 fps and prettier, but perhaps Ubisoft couldn't do it without having to make too many compromises in the Xbox One version of the game.

99% likely not.

How you can say that after both Sony and Ubisoft have confirmed it, is beyond me.

"At a German Ubisoft event, Golem.de said that Ubisoft talked openly about the fact that Watch Dogs would be 1080p/60fps on PS4."

Who to believe is the question. I think it's obviously not 60fps on PS4, as otherwise Ubisoft would just come out and confirm that it is.

And lose sales from a campaign of people claiming that they didn't try hard enough on the XB1 and how they clearly favour Sony?.
