From those videos alone the PS4 Pro version looks significantly better than the original. Good stuff Ubisoft.

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

Makes sense. That's a good price for it. Had fun with the first one, story wasn't the best but it had some neat ideas for multiplayer integration with the campaign.

Watching the 2 hour video it looks like you can just walk up to anyone and push 'X' to steal their money?

No challenge at all to hacking someones bank account, just press X, doesn't that seem a little bland?

Would you really want a hacking minigame for every person that you steal from?

Yeah, I believe they based their model on highjacking PSN accounts.

Is the annoying near death/death sound gone from the 1st game?

I also just saw that there is no jump button again and vaulting is set to RT? That seems so dumb.

I personally think they should take out all of the darn mini games lol. I hated those "connect the blue line" games in the first especially in the late game when there was multiple layers...ugh

That stuff was fun tho. And they have expanded on it in the sequel so now you have to run around the environment to solve them.

I don't want a mini-game and never played the first Watch Dogs... I am guessing money isn't very important if getting it is that easy?

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.
Click to expand...

But isn't that idTech engine bloated install size - for a while Wolfenstein was my largest game at 50+GB. Also, WD 1 was low to mid 20GB...

I say this in the most positive way possible:

It's totally obvious that after Ubisoft finished WD1, they gave everyone on the dev team a copy of GTA V and said "Study this." It just has a very similar vibe.

I would say it's probably a given that either version would outperform the Xbox version.

I would have gone with the PS4 version if I hadn't got the Xbox One version for $30. That said, I'll pay the difference if we're talking about some odd substantial gap in quality.

Any chance you can PM with some details? I have an Xbox One copy on pre-order right now but if I need to switch to PS4 or PC, I'd like to know.
Click to expand...

The Xbone version of the first was around 720p right?

Seeing as WD2 seems like a more technically ambitious game, I'd imagine it sticking to that same resolution.

Also yeah, I can't imagine why you'd pre-order the Xbone version of a multiplat if you have other options. No offense.

The first mission literally has you pick up 5K. There's a lot of stuff to buy so money isn't an issue.

It really doesn't, GTAV has an insanely cynical tone despite the constant attempts at comedy, WD2 is sorta the opposite, on top of that, a lot of the improvements in WD1 are made based off of what the first game did well, like having even more open sandbox missions, making even stealth gameplay, giving the players many more options for hacking, etc. while GTA and Rockstar games in general remain incredibly scripted affairs. They were already working on this before WD1 was finished btw. :)

Wow the stuttering framerate and screen tearing in all the gameplay is absolutely incredible.

Edit: mostly in the eurogamer footage

Money wasn't that important in WD1 after you got the silenced weapons. Crafting items were the "real" currency in that game. And in WD2 it seems like your main currency/XP is the amount of followers you have on your DedSec app.

Game looks cool

Arcadey driving mechanics, and low quality car interiors look bad though

If I had space on my HDD I'd go to my guy and get an early copy too, but these 500GB are all used up lol

Actually yes it it really does. It's all in the visuals.

Which version? The XBone version of WD1 had some nasty tearing, I don't recall any on the PS4 version.

Eurogamer livestream had framerate issues until he restarted the game - then it was fine for like 90 minutes but then the framerate issues came back. And one of the PS4 Pro recordings seemed like it had frame drops, though that might just be caused by recording at 4K.

Er, well, I was just watching a stream and thinking "Wow, this looks very similar to GTA V in many ways." *shrug*

I should have taken notes to support my position better, I guess I didn't foresee that being a controversial statement.
Click to expand...
I mean it's not controversial I just disagree. :< I mean for me the biggest difference that they made in terms of making it feel like GTA is the pulled back camera FOV.

Looks pretty rough from the videos in the open world. Watching this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPpizds7vms

Locomotion seems typical ubisoft, character seemingly can't walk normally, always dashing left to right. Framerate looks rough and not that impressed with the visuals outside of cut scenes.

tHink I'm going to pass on this one again for a while.
I also hate how the camera shakes and rattles when driving
