Seeing the screenshots i retract my coment from earlier. Looks downgraded still, nothing groundbreaking.
Will wait and see, can't trust reviewers so I will wait till about a month after release see if people here like it.

Last gen consoles had 512mb RAM. Real life has 0mb RAM. They had to cut corners somewhere.

I don't doubt they have enough memory space, it's more about shifting a larger amount of data all the time, but there's other things factoring into performance and the load a game will put on the hardware.
Confirmed: real life has no shadows.
Downgrade confirmed.
Looks nothing like what we saw in 2012.

Can I get a refund. I might just live with it, don't want to return to the womb
What I have learned from GAF is people will get hyped/ buy a game if its pretty enough for full price.
If its not, its bargain bin.
I need to avoid these watch dogs threads, since the comments are essentially this.
Graphics was all watch dogs had going for it, when it looked pretty I was interested. But now, because it doesn't look as pretty, I don't want it since its a ubisoft game, therefore it is not going to have good gameplay. I'll buy when its cheap.

The initial reactions and chest pounding some had when they assumed the features were PC only was amazing. Lost interest in the game since the reveal to be honest.

I really hope pc modding takes off with this game, I'd love to play it looking like this some time in the future. Skyrim is still kicking as one of the best graphical games due to the modders. Going back to Witcher 2 is kinda jarring with it's bad use of effects by comparison. I wonder if W2 was modded with new abilities and updated textures (starts hunting google).
Skyrim is one of my most played games, and I think it's gameplay is horrible. I really don't like the assassin creed games and this looks like modern AC, but dem graphics from the first trailer.
Confirmed: real life has no shadows.
Those pavement textures are shockingly bad.

Sorry but as far as i'm concerned, its a bad looking game. The art direction is really poor as well.

Is this video anywhere else by chance? That site's video player hates me.
Yeah, the density and coverage of the grass really does look quite impressive.
It'll probably look like that on a rainy night on pc even without modding, but hey, what do I know...
*slips out before dem pitchforks come up*
Its a shame there is no realtime reflections of NPC's and vehicles ala infamous. It really grounds everything and makes them appear a part of the world. All the NPC's look a bit...floaty? Without it.
Still nothing close to the reveal. and it looks even worse on consoles. Still an easy pass. Especially given how "eh" the gameplay looks as well.

Rain + reflections = eye gasm. It's pretty much half the reason why Infamous: SS is so widely praised for its visuals. But it's misleading, to be fair. Because minus those two elements no one would give that shot a second glance.
Haha I love how three guys in a row all have red beanies in their avatars and are trying to downplay Watch Dogs. I wonder why that is...

Looks great. Moving trees and wind are back in full force and the timelapse looked great.
Those who are saying there are no shadows on NPC's... Did you even watch the video?
Guess we'll need to wait till it releases to do some direct comparisons with the e3 2012 demo.
Pretty much a day 1 purchase for me on the PC after seeing this and the announcement of the cockpit view.

Yeah, you could be right. I wish they'd show more night and rain, the nights usually look the best. I still would like this game to blow on the modding scene too. I hope it's not too protected due to the online features.

The game shown in 2012 was running on a GTX 680. I would say that's reasonable. Or are you expecting a console to perform similarly?
Pointing out how these aren't PC exclusive features is downplaying Watch Dogs now? Was this a real post submitted to NeoGAF.com friend?
Here's the water from PS4 version of the game [e3 2013 ps4 stage demo]
Where is the green light coming from?

I just need to upgrade my CPU, I think I'm covered for GPU. These big worlds need a great CPU I'd imagine.
AMD still
