Looking good. That music.

Reminds me of when I got a physical copy of Watch Dogs 4 days early, damn its such a good feeling to get a game before its release date.
I love that Uplay doesn't restrict you if you get an early copy too.

How many GB is this game on PS4?

My copy from Ubishop will arrive tomorrow, I got Eagle Flight a few days earlier from there, too. When you're ordering from Germany at least I can really recommend it, 20% off with Uplay points, too.

Man I wish I could afford this game. It is just what I need right now.

Oh well, it will be that much sweeter when I finally get around to it. It looks great so far!

On the other hand though Ubi games almost always have a big sale or price drop within 90 days so you can probably get this game for a lot less or get the game plus seasons pass for less than the regular game now.

And it gives you the benefit of seeing impressions and any big issues being fixed first.

The soundtrack by Hudson Mohawke, which is pretty great, is also already out. Spotify link.

I wonder how playing the satirical Trump ribs will feel with hindsight and how far they went. Hope they don't patch that out now that he won.

You are definitely right there! I am hoping I can grab it for around $30 right after Xmas. Should have a gift card at least by then. lol

 

[flaxknuckles]

I want to know how the driving feels. All I hear is that it is "better". Where the experts at?

 

[kobu]

pc version still delayed?

 

[MANGOD]

Wondering how the ps pro handles this.....

 

[hydruxo]

I've been watching some streams this morning, it's pretty crazy how far they've come since the first game. They really took the criticisms to heart. WD2 is looking damn good.

 

[Gamezone]

25 gigs.

Pretty small for something that`s open world these days.

Two hour video in the OP of PS4 pro footage.

 

[anddo0]

Don't hold your breath on 60fps..

Locked 30, better draw, reduced pop up.. Maybe

 

[Heckler456]

Is that with a Pro patch enabled already? I thought development of the Pro patch was delayed because they were focusing on the PC version?

Not locked and i see tearing too. Talking about base Ps4.

 

[ToiJu]

How many GB is this game on PS4?

30 GB, with 1.02 patch it's precisely 30,18 GB. This is the nordic version, seems like US version is smaller according to PS Store.

Seems like the 1.02 patch doesn't yet include any Pro enhancements, or if it does it doesn't show in image quality. Ubisoft is too lazy to include patch notes. Here's a quick comparison I made: 1.00 / 1.02.

 

[Theorry]

Some more Pro gameplay.

That was debunked.

 

[Falchion]

Wow, there's a ton of Russian streams.

 

[Shredderi]

The thing I like the most about this game is Marcus's parkour animations. It was time someone did proper parkour animations for a parkour guy. I want to see more of that in other games that employ similar traveling mechanics. That would have been perfect in the first Infamous game where Cole was into parkouring and stuff.

 

[Equanimity]

Some more Pro Lolgameplay.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y18eixZ1V2c

Thank you and OP. IQ looks fantastic on the Pro.

Cleanest open world game on a console?

 

[anddo0]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y18eixZ1V2c

That looks amazing..
I already purchased the game on PC

Spoiler

$30

. So, I'm thinking double dip if the game holds up..

Now. Watching the PSAccess video in comparison, the OG PS4 version looks rough. The framerate looks sluggish, pop in and screen tearing everywhere.

 

[ymgve]

Eurogamer dude had an odd FPS issue where the framerate plummeted after 1-2 hours of playing. Anyone else seen something like that?

 

[User 479360]

Looks really nice visually, and like something I'd probably enjoy. I'm still not sold on the hipster vibe, or the drones (seems boring), but I look forward to playing it.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

25 gigs.

An open world game with a lot of shit to do and it's that small? Meanwhile Dishonored 2 is close to 50 GB.

Edit: Watch they put out a patch to prove me wrong.

Yea it's weird. Idtech man.

His stream was borked at the start, things smoothed out after he restarted the game.. Now that I think about it. The PSAccess video looks just as bad as Eurogamer's did at the start; maybe they didn't notice?

 

[Jeremy]

Would I be able to pick up a PC copy anywhere early?

 

[ezekial45]

This game is RAD. Massive improvement over the original, and the main character is wonderful. I love it.

Where did you find it on PC for $30? I'm seeing GMG and cdkeys at about $45 or so.

CDkeys weeks back.. They tend to raise the price, the closer the game gets to release.

 

[Chabbles]

Watching that Pro footage, the streets look deserted and kind of static. They could really use more civilians and traffic to liven things up and make the city feel more lived in.

 

[MaLDo]

The first video in the op is running in a pro and is 30 fps with lots of hitches and stutters.

 

[Karak]

Playing for review now. The difference in versions is HIGHLY interesting here.

Don't expect that to improve because then they'd have to patch the non-pro PS4 version to have that increased density. I'm sad that this is what we'll likely get in the PC version because those are the emptiest streets I've seen in an open-world game with vehicles.

 

[harz-marz]

Do you mean PS4 vs Pro or vs Xbox One.

 

[Lucifon]

Guessing you can't elaborate yet? Any chance you can say what options ps4 pro offers in terms of resolution / fps options?

 

[ymgve]

It was fine for most of the stream after the restart, but near the end the framerate died again.

Why even bother saying anything if you arent going to elaborate?

 

[GavinUK86]

The PS4 Pro version looks to be downsampled and that's it. The same pop-in as the regular one. That's a shame. No jaggies is a plus though.

 

[aravuus]

The first game always seemed like a shitshow, but this looks like it could be fun. Not day one fun, but unless it gets bashed on hardcore, I'll buy it later.

 

[Hjod]

Anyone know when the reviews will drop?
