"We’re really excited for the launch of Watch Dogs on both PS3 and PS4 and are confident that it will prove to be one of the standout games of 2014,” said Michael Pattison, Vice President, Third Party Relations, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. “It’s a unique and visionary game and we believe that the exclusive content available via PSN will not only excite gamers, but showcase how PlayStation is a preferred destination for Watch Dogs."

Says the PR, I guess Sony would say that hehe :D

It always strange when a new console generation comes, people remember the graphics of the previous generation as being better then they really were. Same thing happened during the Xbox360/PS3 transition.

I personally think that the reason is was delayed is because UBI were trying to get this run at a higher framerate on the PS4 and XBONE but realized they overshot the mark when it came to the graphics and have had to downgrade in some areas because it looks way off the footage that was shown before in this trailer.

It looks the same as the 2013 e3 demo.

Dunno about day one, but I expect a period in the summer where I probably won't have anything to play. I'll just see what people here and friends (and a GB Quick Look) have to say.

When you say "After quite a long delay, Ubisoft finally annouced that Watch_Dogs would be released on May 27 on basically every platform except WiiU who would get the game a tad later. And as a bonus, they even sent us a new story trailer!" do you know any timeframe for when the Wii U version might come out?

Or is that "tad" qualifier just your assumption? :)

Take a good look at the reveal trailer again, guy. GTA5 looks more visually impressive in just about every regard. If this is ps4/One footage, it's truly sad.

GTA 5 trailer looks impressive, GTA5 don't looks as impressive as its own trailer.

yea. Not seeing this massive issue of graphics people keep talking about. Pretty typical around this time after the new car smell of next Gen has worn off and a game is multiplatform.

think it looks damned nice

Really, GTAV had some good but not great character models, but the a lot of the environment textures were pretty low res.
Click to expand...

GTA V had some great composition and lighting, but it suffered from framerate issues, pretty low res textures (especially on terrain) & pretty nasty shadow cascade transitions. Yes, it looked fantastic for current gen, but it was at the VERY tail end of the generation cycle and made with those platforms in mind. This is a cross-gen game, the IQ, texture quality & shader tech is incredibly beefed up in comparison. I think it's the lighting, it looks a bit flat, like there's a distinct lack of bloom & tonemapping. It's just looks super clean and crisp since they don't really need to hide limitations and imperfections as much on this hardware.

Using these gifs as a way to gauge visual quality won't work.

If this trailer is footage from the PS4/PC version Watch Dogs suffers from the cross gen blues. The explosion and clothing effects are extremely middling.

They just said "à une date ultérieure", basically "sometimes later".

Still looks remarkably bland. Was hoping they'd spruce it up for the new trailer considering the delay... oh well, plenty of other games out there to play if this gets the tepid reception one would expect.

I don't think I retain any interest whatsoever after that trailer. I wanted a smart, contemporary approach to open world gaming with tech and information at its center and a savvy protagonist for once. What I'm seeing instead is that this decidedly non-intellectual man has merely been given a magically powerful phone by a corny group of elite hackers straight out of a 90s film. I'm just not at all interested in him or his predictable violence.

Nice, a comment that isn't about the visuals.

I agree with you completely.

Once upon a time I was super hyped for this game but that trailer really didn't do much for me. Seems like the game is very action oriented while I'd prefer more focus on using the hacking abilities. Maybe it's just the marketing, we'll see. Will pick it up if it turns out well but feeling skeptical for now. Also I haven't always felt this way in the past but it does look visually disappointing compared to the reveal here.

Can someone tell me if this is previous generation (PS3/X360) or current generation (X1/PS4)?

These visuals seem to be downgraded.

I have this on pre-order for PC and will cancel if this is current gen.

Wut? You can't possibly be serious. It looks like an upscaled 360 game. Crisp textures is not what we use to define next gen. This is very much a 360 game. Gta V on ps360 looks more impressive and the next gen port will look even better.
Click to expand...

Well, downgrade the textures a lot more, ad a TON of jaggies, less effects and worse lighting and you have your 360 game.
This is a crossgen game after all.

When did he turn into a killing machine? I always got the impression from past trailers that he was avoiding trouble as much as he can, of course you can play it in multiple styles but for some reason I always thought they were pushing the stealth aspect more.
Click to expand...
The impression that I got from watching a number of the extended gameplay videos is that the game features a lot of flexibility in the main gameplay missions. You can go the MGS/Splinter-Cell stealth route or you can go full action. What I had been most impressed by is that the 'hacking' mechanics (to use the term broadly) can augment both the action elements (such as traffic jams while driving) and the stealth elements (tapping into surveillance feeds to plan an infiltration route). It all looked very seamless and fun.

I really hope this comes together. I like the feel of the world they have created and it looks like it will be a blast to play around in it.

How can you downgrade the lighting? It already looks horrible. Less effects? What effects? The explosion look embarrassing, I've seen ps360 with better explosions. The material physics are also embarrassing. The material shaders are embarrassing. This game represents the biggest downgrade I've ever seen.

No way does GTA look better. GTA looks great for last gen, having a 5 year dev cycle, and being only on one generation, but this looks very good for a cross gen game. Almost looks as nice as Infamous at times.

The graphics are.. interesting, gotta be current gen ( great for current gen). While I wouldn't say GTA V looks better overall, the difference isn't huge, that's for sure and V probably does look better in some ways too ( like car models)


Overall was a good trailer, still hyped but I REALLY WISH the developers put more effort into vehicle damage, even gta IV has better car damage than that!! Ruins what could be amazing scenes.

Is that Busta Rhymes? Do they really put the age that people died on their tombstones? Game looks good, but I'm wondering what side missions will be like. Ergh...I wanna preorder Batman and The Order and now this comes along. As a single-player fan, my cup runneth over.

I've been waiting for Watch Dogs ever since it was announced back in 2012. It should be a great game for me to play right after exams end!

The next best thing they could make now is that the "hacking" to be some kind of QTE and not a free choice.

A revenge story? Really? This is so far away from the initial reveal. Now looks a CIA B category movie type of story.

And some people are forgetting the progress made throughout the Xbox 360/PS3 life cycle.

Please tell me there is someone on GAF who is excited about the gameplay possibilties introduced with the hacking?

Because reading this thread, it seems all people give a shit about is the graphics and Ze IMeRSANS! (oh noes, the bullets have no exit wounds, and the Ai faces doesn't realistically react to pain, the immersion is all gone)

You're really curving discussion in a positive way aren't you.

The gameplay shown in this trailer looked like a lot of shit getting beat up, blown up, and turned off.
