You expected any different? Last year, pretty much everybody had no clue what the Specs were gonna be, simply an approximation. It's always been that way. Geez. The only games pushing the hardware early on are gonna be first party, and even then, it'll take some time.

Very interesting.

Seems to me too sadly.
Another god-like charcter who act in a world filled with idiotic A.I. bots to kill, worse it pretends to be set in a seriuos environment.
Some well tought challenge and the asymmetric multiplayer can save it to my eyes?
Hope so.

This game looks so sick. Can't wait.
People have different opinions than you, more at 11.

No you're right, this is basically about what I expected, which is why I mentioned that unless the developer puts some serious effort into making "cross-gen" next gen games look amazing (implementing physics systems that are not possible on current gen, etc. etc.) then I will just wait on them to drop in price and stick with mostly 1'st party titles at launch.
But yes again, you are right, this should be fully expected as this happened last gen with the cross-gen stuff looking like higher resolution versions.
Im not saying this game doesn't look fun, it looks great actually and I absolutely love open world games so I'll pick it up eventually for sure, probably just a few months after release.

Ubisoft did make Zombi U.
Feel exactly the same. PS4 day 1 buy. I hope we have PS4 this year in Europe, don't want to wait (neither to buy two versions).

BELOW AVERAGE SAT. How did they get me in there?
I agree "hey guys those circular maps are to neat and round lets splash the shit wherever!" It looks really bad.

They said during the PS4 reveal it was a launch title.

I understand your point, early adopters get screwed: high price for a machine with multiplatform games that have a simple texture upgrade.
Let's just say you'll have to wait a year before seeing multiplatform games take better advantage of those next gen platforms.

I'm surprised that so many people are shocked that the game doesn't look insane graphically. It's cross gen, the only games going to take advantage of new hardware for a while are exclusives. Next gen won't really start until PS3/360 are dropped. I think we really need some more footage of sunset/night like in the reveal. The lighting was impressive there and I would really like to see if that holds up. Clear, midday conditions aren't the best for showing off advanced lighting.

These were similar to my thoughts when I looked at BF4. I imagine it will be no different for games like COD Ghost.

Yeah okay.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Why does it look so aliased? Crossgen ports don't get AA?
I hope it will run okay enough on my PC to add some AA. Or at least have some trade off in less important elements to add it.
Wind simulation sounds OTT, as if I'll notice the course of the wind throughout many alleys during normal gameplay to note it's that realistic when it doesn't affect gameplay or anything.
Of course turning it off you'd miss it, if the off is no wind at all making everything more static. Unrealistic vs realistic wind however would be far less noticable.

Will it be awesome for the 100th time? Will it also be awesome when you go into the same store and the owner doesn't even recognize you from 10 minutes ago?
Looks quite fun, as expected, but I really wish it did not have that Assassin's Creed Animus-like effect going on so much. It just seems so out of place.
As for the visual quality? I can't really draw a fair conclusion based on a Youtube video, but the shadows look pretty current gen to me. Not expecting it to push the bar very much in that regard being a cross-gen launch title anyway.
Overall, I am still really looking forward to it. I am just not as hot toward it as I was initially. Great looking game to have at launch, though.

Good news, but it also sounds like you'll need to be online to get the most out of the game with its mix of SP and MP and game invasions.

Well you're right, but I guess it's just not my cup of tea, all that filler content gets old real fast. Let's see if they can make this stuff have a real impact on the story/ingame world.
All in all I'm concerned this will feel too much AC for my taste. (and for the record, I really liked the first Assassin's Creed).

The GT preview mentions they saw a PC version being played with a dualshock 4. I hope that means the dualshock 4 works natively on PC. I would love to use that controller on my PC, especially if the touchpad can be used like a laptop touchpad.
Eurogamer says it ran on a PS4 devkit (which pretty much seems to resemble a PC)

""It's kind of unperceivable, but when you turn it off, you miss it," Jonathan Morin, the game's creative director says, gesturing at the snaking sets of coloured isobars that he's just toggled on-screen. We're seeing Watch Dogs' new Disrupt engine track the flow of air through the virtual city. Coloured streams of wind hurtle down narrow streets boarded by high terraces of apartments. At a traffic intersection the currents flow into one another, dynamically pooling to ripple certain awnings and sway the branches of a few street-side trees."

I highly doubt it will have any real influence on the game. It will probably just make you more overpowered, or give you more juice to do stuff with your smartphone. I will be hugely surprised if the game makes the optional stuff have a real impact.
It will be like FarCry 3 or AC, and for some it will be enough and for some it will be a bit boring. But I think if you stick the course and go for the main story, it will probably be a entertaining time.

We'll see if that happens.
Assassins_Dogs
I hate to say it, but that is kind of the overall vibe I am getting here. It looks like a reskinned Assassin's Creed, but in a Modern City and with vehicles. That constant Animus-like effect is especially annoying. But it still looks fun for what it is trying to do.
right, cause they said this was final code. gold disc about to be stamped!! oh wait...6 more months of tweaks and polish?
i would guess they have all game play elements done and getting it ready for fall. if you want to see final code don't want preview builds. they can't cater these preview build videos to ever internet nitpicker.
