Watch Dogs Legions Upscaled 4k on XSX

Xbox fans do this to themselves. So quick to mock PS5 games at a hint of below 4K. PS5 trolling always comes back to bite y’all in the ass.

That said, there’s nothing wrong with non native resolutions at this point. Resolution are so high anyway I would prefer developers not waste GPU resources on native 4K and instead use reconstruction methods to reach 4K and put the extra resources into graphical quality.

Like i have said numerous times, these consoles arent powerful enough for ray tracing. It should of been left for the Pro consoles, or PS6/Xbox 5


As expected. And didn't they say the next gen patch isn't even out yet anyway?


Same trolls trying to grasp for a win after all the crow they've been served.

Whatever, y’all needed someone else to come up and tell you so clearly you didn’t notice it did ya?

Literally the first page of the thread.

Amazing.

Not one of these posters came out on the original 'Watchdogs with RT on XSX thread'. Despite bumping their gums for ages about no RT on XSX.

Now it's like a who's who from the next gen thread! 😂

I congratulated the video in the main spec thread - however, I type on a laptop and cant see that level of detail without zooming in - I took the word of ubi. Sometimes you have to put it on the big OLED to see such things which are not obvious on GAF.

My beef is not the consoles, its ubi messaging getting peoples hopes up for consoles. Its not cricket.

Native 4k is a meme. With upscaling technology being as advanced as it is (not being noticeable without pixel counting) I would rather the devs use the horsepower of the console for other more important things.
If the series X and Ps5 have their versions of ai upscaling they might as well target 1080p/60 with Ray tracing to get the most out of them since it works so well.

Valhalla doesn't use any raytracing and the PS5 still can't run it at 4k natively. These situations are not comparable.
Let's see if Horizon 2 overcomes Valhalla in terms of graphical fidelity. Something tells me it will, and it will be at 4k natively. We are talking of Ubisoft here, if I were you I wouldn't use them as a metric of what PS5 can and can't do.

Next gen will be 4k60 they said.

Your eyes generally can't see the difference between dynamic 4k and native 4K.

Native 4K is a waste even on PC (which Nvidia acknowledges perfectly with DLSS) and power is generally better used elsewhere.

I'm not sure why people here don't like reconstructed 4K, it's the way to go on any platform. Good thing devs don't listen to GAF.

Oh, so now you believe Alex do you? Funny that ain't it blue.

oh it's easy, let me translate his posts for you:
"I LIKE INFORMATION GIVEN THEREFORE I BELIEVE!"
"I DON'T LIKE INFORMATION GIVEN THEREFORE I ACCUSE OF FANBOYISM!"

I agree (somewhat, you can totally see if a resolution is dynamic in some instances) reconstruction is the way to go. 4K is so high res that the base resolution is high enough so that artifats aren't really a big issue. especially Ubisofts checkerboard implementation in the PS4 pro version of Watch Dogs 2 was really good... it's also an option on PC and manages to even look really good at 1440p! were artifacts should be way more noticable.

the issue is that ubisoft lied in their PR, that is the real kicker here... they should be straight forward about these things and not just say "IT IS 4K!!! LOOK 4K!!! we are so great!"

I can only hope my eyes keep filtering such tiny imperfections.

Dynsmic 4k doesn't bother me personally, and the game does look quite impressive.

After having the X1X for the past 3 years, I find 4k not all its cracked up to be. I play on a 55 inch TV, and sit 6 feet away. I genuinely struggle to tell a difference between native 4k, and anything from 1440 up.

Having said all that, despite liking the original WD, WD2 bored me senseless, so this is a hard pass for me anyway.

Yes, I agree with this. I just love that gif and to make fun of console wars.

You too, wtf? Seems like you guys are full of shit.

I can't wait to see the back peddling on this one.

You seem to be hoping my posts say something that they don't say

Nice try though

I don't know, for me it's pretty clear when they say 4K, they mean reconstructed 4K, otherwise they'd say native (they would be proud of it) and that would be a dumb choice anyway.

Consider me roasted then.

But that's weird they call medium, medium, when it's not the lowest.

I guess they go by how much is turned down... I also can't stand that tho, when you have options that go up to Very High, others only go to High... some go down to very low, others only to low and others yet again only go down to Medium.

Can you not see the hypocrisy in you baiting people in here over info used from a DF employee when you yourself talk shit about them? I do. Also, are you ok? not sure what happened with your post there.

This is embarrassing.

You people don't enjoy playing video games. You just don't.

This pixel counting bullshit is a disgrace.

or some of us are just interested in the makeup of games and like to see how developers optimize and tailor their game to a specific system. it's fun... but those who only do it to console war or only buy games because of it, yeah, that's a bit dumb.

A few months ago Valhalla early build was Ps5 and XSX at 4k30 and now we get a ubi blog of 4k30RT on watchdogs, 4k60 on Valhalla.

Ubisoft are ubisoft, wait until you see the results.

What is ps5 resolution and framerate?
As I remember, all the multi games that annuonced their resolution mentioned the same for Series X and PS5. As I remember Ubi mentioned 4K 60 fps for all their other games, but as I remember they didn't feature raytracing. Watchdogs features raytracing, so since it's an open world game it going to be very likely 30 fps and as most games will feature dynamic up to 4K resolution.

Like i have said numerous times, these consoles arent powerful enough for ray tracing. It should of been left for the Pro consoles, or PS6/Xbox 5
Raytracing looks great in many trailers of PS5 gameplays. This game runs like crap on PCs whos GPU alone are more expensive than these consoles. I'd wait to see more RT gameplay on console before talking.

I mean it makes sense depending on the option/feature, but there has to be a way for better consistency.
