Yeah the world looks so empty!
Hardly any cars and people around.
That totally ruins the immersion and turned me off buying it.

After watching a bit more gameplay I can't help but feel that I'll get really bored really quickly with this game. The world and hacks appear to be quite boring and not something that after a couple hours I would want to further explore or mess around with. I think I may just be bored with modern American cities in video games in general though.
I felt the daytime parts I played before, visually looked a lot like GTAV imo. I've thought the overall style of graphics have been strikingly similar since the first WD2 trailer. WD2 to me looks like an even more HD GTAV.
Night time however I can't help but feel it has a kind of Fox Engine look going for it. Night time scenes remind me of MGSV style lighting etc. It's hard to explain but it feels like the lighting and PBR has been ripped straight out of MGSV during the night time. Especially the first mission.
Well, both games are set in California. Aesthetically, they should look similar.
IMO, while they would add to the immersion, I feel they would make navigating the city more irritating and probably hamper the performance of the game.
This is the same company that made AC:Unity, which had thousands of people on screen, but the performance and ability to move around in that game was abysmal.
So I am ok with them taking the less assets route if the game actually functions properly, and movement is not a chore.

First game was garbage so that's not hard.

Judging from the videos.
Good: World looks beautiful. Marcus and other characters are interesting. I like the Mr. Robot storyline with a much lighter tone.
Bad: City looks dead.. driving looks bad. Gameplay is exactly the same as the first one.
Not getting it day1... and maybe I'll just pass altogether. Doesn't really seem that special. Driving looks really bad.

Well that bodes well then, because I had a lot of fun with the first game.
Why is PC the only way to play it?
What do you mean by that?
IQ is kinda rough though. I dunno why. It's fuzzy (plus no AA)

An AI got mad at the player for staring at their crowd station animation. Holy shit they really were going for a simulation when it comes to AI. 😳
Uh. PC thanks.

I would like to know how the city compares to something like Gta 5 in atmosphere , things like car density , pedestrian reactions , random events , uniquely feeling locales etc
I've watched about an hour of gameplay and it still feels really sterile compared to gta5 . Can't quiet put my fingure on why .
Perhaps is the euphoria animations etc or just not as many random events / random chatter going on .
City itself looks gorgeous but still abit sterile .

And low resolution, why 4K screenshots showing low res game?

Fantastic screens Hurricane43
I think I know what's happening here, the slowdown happens when another person joins your world for co-op. Seems like a solid 30fps in single player.
Because it is not a native 4K game on the Pro.

From my first couple hours (PS4)
Pros
+ Soundtrack is awesome
+ Better driving mechanics (From WD1)
+ Better overall gameplay (From WD1)
+ Beautiful UI
Cons
- Jaggies, jaggies everywhere
- Game has crashed over 10 times in the first 2 hours
- Everything has a fuzzy look to it
- Sounds cuts out for around 5 seconds every 5 minutes

Hopefully the Pro version will take care of those?
I know people are playing it on a Pro, but was it confirmed to be patched?

1800p checkerboard according to Mark Cerny himself.

Enough to say the game is not ready and should not sold in its current state.
Huh... Certainly doesn't look like it. Not as clean as tlou in 1800. Looks great though!
Doesn't have it at least on the PS4 Pro.
By the way the game mentions open multiplayer where it auto merges you into people's worlds is broken right now and causing major fps issues. Could be what we saw on streams. So they've disabled it and hope to fix it soon. Says on the main menu. I'm hoping they get it sorted by launch.
