Nope. They wouldn't be touting "30fps, only on the PS4". I doubt the Xbone version is running at 15fps or something.Typo? You can see where the number was typed from:

Watch Dogs 60fps on PS4? [Update: 1080/60fps text removed from website]

Even on a tablet or phone, you can Google search the image in one second to get the answer. It's from The Terminator (1984).

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.

In addition they said they would prefer 30Fps with a better render quality...well thats bad news
They also say ssao is missing...
Is the Microsoft's parity clause still in effect?

There was never a parity clause

I guess they've removed the text to avoid false marketing claims if the gameplay dips down to 30 in action heavy scenes

How could there have ever been a parity clause, BF, Trials and Metal Gear among others have all been released superior on the PS4.
The only parity clause they have in place is concerning the release dates of indie games.

Quick question - How do people actually find out (besides devs telling them obviously) what the resolution / FPS of a game is once it is released on consoles?
It's very obvious to my eyes. It's not something I need to investigate. In the case of oddball resolutions you can count pixels but it's always obvious when resolution is lower than the native panel resolution.

Because none of you can enjoy the game unless it at that resolution and framerate.
It's sad.
What's sad is telling other people that their priorities are wrong just because they differ from your own.

Wut.
Yea...
I'd take image quality and a stable 30fps in any game if the 60fps
gets demanding like that. It ain't worth it.

Well I run things on a 1080p 55 inch TV and unless it is 480p content, I don't notice much of a difference. Perhaps my eyes aren't on your level, or my TV just handles things well.
How exactly would one go about counting pixels?

Well.. if you show me a game on a tv with a proper size >46inch i am definitely able to tell you if its 720p/900p or 1080p. Also if its closer to 30fps or 60 fps. It is very obvious in my eyes.

Priorities? What priorities?
If the game isn't going to run at the rate that you want it to, then where are your priorities then? You not going to buy it?
You basically find an aliased (jaggy) diagonal line and count the steps.

Also, I'm not sure why this is surprising when the devs themselves have said this is to be at a smooth 30fps.
I can obviously tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps. Resolution between 900p and 1080p, no. I really honestly don't believe that others can, but what do I know.

Priorities, as in things that matter to people. I actually envy the fact that you're not bothered by framerate, but it does have an effect on some people's enjoyment, so just accept that and stop acting like everyone who cares is necessarily elitist or crazy.
As for your question, it depends on the specific game and far short of expectations it falls. Very few of the people who care about framerate are the "NOT 1080p AND A CONSTANT 60 FPS AT ALL TIMES? FUKKEN DROPPED, PREORDER CANCELED!" strawmen you want them to be.
You probably sit farther away than most people. If you tried to play a 720p game on a PC you would notice right away.
If you jump back and forth between games from different gens, identifying resolutions
becomes easier.
For instance, I jump between PS2 - PS3 - PC games quite often enough where my
eyes can now pretty much distinguish between 1080p, 720p and under.
60 fps is pleasant.

yes some people can. For instance AssCreed 4 was patched from 900p to 1080p on ps4.
Show it to me and i tell you right away if its post or pre patch. Maybe it also depends on the TV and used settings but yes it is possible.

You don't have control over it. You need to accept what you're given, chill the fuck out and just enjoy it. You're still going to buy the game regardless, but the difference between you and I, is that on the day we play it you'll be pissing and moaning about such trivial things, and I'll be loving it. In the way the developers want us to.
Hyperbowl much. Where did I say such a thing? I said that unless it's at THE rate (60fps/1080p) then people wont enjoy it. And you just proved my point :
Don't buy it then I guess?

when I first played asscreed 4 on my ps4 I thought the game was already patched and was pretty disappointed with the iq, then noticed the update going the next time I started the game and it was obvious I was now playing it in 1080p, its a huge difference in my opinion.

60 fps would be amazeballs. But steady 30 fps even in the heaviest sections would be sweet too.

Sad and salty.
When I play Black ops 2 on 360 at 60 fps vs a 30 fps shooter (BF), it feels more responsive and smooth.
I cant tell much of a difference by looking at vids on a web site, but I definitely notice when playing.
You think others don't ? COD sells 20 million copies, yes its a 'bro' shooter but its success is its a good console 60 fps twitch shooter.
So no, you are wrong, 60 fps will increase my enjoyment of the game, especially the driving bits.
I like 1080, it looks sweet on a 50 inch nice TV, I don't care that much for some of the fancy effects....which I notice less than resolution and frame rate.

30? 60? 30? 60?
I expect the same fluctuation when the game is running on my PS4.

Thats the thing for me too. I notice drops in framerate far more than I notice the difference between 30 and 60.
I'll take a rock solid locked 30 over a variable 60 (even if its 60 for the majority of the time).

Someone at Ubisoft really needs to put this to bed so we can move on and actually look forward to playing the freaking game!

Why do you think that people can't see the difference in nearly 50% resolution reduction? If you include scaling vs. native display resolution, you get another substantial image quality hit.
And another thing what people often confuse in such discussions: non-native resolution doesn't mean the game looks instantly like shit, just worse. The game can still looks fine.
Sony jumped the gun so they CANNOT issues a statement unless Ubisoft say they can.
Ubisoft are never going to crap on the WD brand and sales by decrying the X1 version,maybe the X1 version has hit 1080/30 so this becomes alot less of a marketing issue for both if there 1080 (with lower rez shadows etc hard to spot) and TV ads and Youtube will not show the FPS..makes perfect sense to me!
For me personally (after reading the golem.de article), they should have been shooting for better IQ and AO@30FPS. No AO in an open world game can look really rough.

Quite impressive if this game ends up hitting that 60fps sweet spot and locked.
I've never played it, is it any good?

There is definitely AO. It's clearly visible in the trailers they have released so far. It's highly unlikely that it has been removed.
