Makes me want some bean and bacon soup.
This is good news i guess. I was planning on get Watch Dogs anyways.

I don't think you'll get this game at 1080@60 with everything maxed on mid range PC. PS4 is basically mid range PC equivalent, if not mid-high, depends on if you count stuff like Titan as high or more than high.

Well you've done god's work bringing it to my attention. New Banderas gifs are always welcome
By plugging a Dualshock 3 into my PC's USB port?
You act like it's so difficult. I also have an Xbox 360 Controller for Windows, if that suits my fancy. But I usually go with the Dualshock. Mouse/Keyboard for FPS and Strategy games, ya know.
PCs have always had gamepads, going back to the famous Gravis Gamepad of my youth.
Holy shit I had that it was good for what it was which was playing DOS games otherwise it was murder on the hands. Did any of you ever try using the stick that screwed into the middle? Total POS.
He's not saying maxed. My 7950 can easily hit 1080p60fps on BF3 with a lot of settings either on high or max. I expect the same with BF4. I consider myself midrange.
Driving in non sim games oddly works quite well with a keyboard, I was a fair amount faster in NFS HP with it over my 360 pad (to my great surprise).

Exactly, PC overenthusiasts can get a bit elusive when it comes to building theoretical rigs and staying within budget but when those steammachines come and we have something concrete to compare consoles against, it will be evident that the reasonable mid range killer gaming pc is just a mythical creature.
does that depend on the PC. cause I think it does.
There's a lot of genres that can work surprisingly well as I recall like fighters, and even Demon's Souls/Dark Souls would fare better than a lot of other games and if nothing else mouse support WOULD be quite useful for using bows, though this would be a potential problem on PC...
I wouldn't go that far, but you won't be making a PC that's the same cost as a console that's superior, and you'll have to accept that half the reason the cost can be justified is the versatility of PCs, I don't doubt most of us use our PCs far more than consoles even if we end up actually playing GAMES more often on consoles. It also helps that the growth in PC advancement kind of stagnated: my i5 2500k is pointless to replace, whereas 10 years ago a CPU over 2 years old would be starting to hold games back at least a little, at worst I just need to overclock the 2500k. But honestly I think the "it doesn't cost THAT much" argument should be more to defend that PCs aren't necessarily THAT insane of an investment for really good gaming quality, and not so much as a reason to disregard consoles which are still the best option if you just want to play mainstream games at a low hardware cost.
Did you notice the large dead zone on the 360 sticks(swerving too much). I had to use a DS3 to finish NFSHP.
If anyones going to be throwing money, it's going to be sony.
XB1 is the one with missing shadows
Oh my LMAO I love you GAF

It's probably not gonna take a monster rig to beat 1080p/30fps.
You just became my favourite junior
Also, PC version for me since it was confirmed today the console versions run 30fps.
Still have that one lying around somewhere, some real POS.
God help us all if it is, 'hard locked' PC games at 30 fps is one of the worst things. Most of the time there's a config file but sometimes there isn't, simply unacceptable.

He said "with all settings turned up" right in what I quoted. 79xx is AMD's equivalent of GTX680 series, right? What the hell, that's not midrange even if you consider Titan to be high range, and not something like ultra-high as its price dictates.
I also think this game as well as BF4 will be more demanding than BF3, being newer and better looking.
You'd love to believe that, wouldn't you.
LOL. He likes the exclusives. Fuck him right?
Oh brother.

Yes to both points.

This guy's source has proven his worth though, it's almost for sure that he's legitimate. It's the same person who confirmed the XB1's GPU upclock when everyone was going on an on about downclock.
If the only difference is 720p vs 1080p it's not going to make a difference to most ppl.

For what...just telling it like it is?
:-\
Nothing wrong with people pointing out the obvious. The PC version of this game will on another level for just the 60FPS alone.

That really doesn't relate to my original point.

Now we're just dissembling with semantics. If you want the "definitive" Watch_Dogs experience then you first have to definite it, and then you have to be willing to buy the hardware that gives it to you. It's probably not gonna be on the PS4 unless you think the definitive experience is making some compromises on IQ to bask in the glory of the PS4 as you run the game.
But this whole side conversation could have been avoided by making the title "Playstation 4 gets graphically definitive console version of Watch_Dogs" I'm almost 100% sure it will be.
Fair enough, I misunderstood his post.
And what? A 7950 was a $280 dollar card. The 7950 is closer equivalent of a 660. Maybe you meant 7970. I still fully expect to be able to hit 1080p60fps with a bunch of setting either at max or at high.
Also 4 Titans probably won't make it LOOK better than 2 Titans. The game assets have a finite quality that devs choose to put on the disc/digital. 4 Titans may give more FPS than 2. At that point, would you really see the difference between say, a solid locked 80 fps as compared to 120 fps? I wouldn't think so. I could be wrong.
I had a Gravis GamePad Pro with shoulder buttons and a stick. The stick was hot garbage, lol.

I guess I meant 7970. Still, 79xx is AMD's high end series, it's just more competitively priced than nvidia. GTX660(non-Ti) is 1.8TF card according to Wikipedia, so that's basically an equivalent of PS4. 7950 is supposed to be better than that.

That was an extremely obscure reference, but damn I enjoyed reading that haha. Thanks for sharing.

Ah, between consoles, lol.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say there.
There was a noticeable resolution difference between a lot of 360/PS3 games this gen...and the gap was MUCH smaller than 1080p vs 720p...if the performance gap really is that big across the board then it's bad...

This "rumor" has it all wrong.

because xbone is underpowered and can't keep up?

I permanently banned my 6 year old daughter from using the PS4 for mistakenly sending grief reports as it's too hard to watch or talk to her
Clearly.
Please enlighten us with your insider knowledge...game develeper guy.

But that is always (99%) the case. It would be like me going out of my way to say that water is wet in every thread. The implication is obvious; this is a console thread. The hyper expensive enthusiast gaming rig is going to outperform consoles. Why belabor the point?
Whats confusing? Both hit 30fps just fine, but crank it up to 60 and PS4 outshines the One.
What dirty tease
