PS4 version it is then. I'm not waiting two weeks to play this and that's FFXV day so no thanks. Plus I am sure online will be much better on PS4.

The good ol' Ubi PC delay. Feel like it has been a while.
^
Kinda interested in this one after having played the original a few months ago but definitely not a day one for me. Probably sometime end of next year.
Well if the game doesn't stutter, I don't mind it if the devs use it as a feature point. If they do use it as a feature though, it better not stutter assuming your PC is up for it.
Yay UbiDelayTM is back
kinda pathetic now when all their engines are in their minimally 2nd/3rd iterations and Ubisoft currently licking the glorious a** of Denuvo overlords
What do you have to say about Rockstar then? They are great with PC releases 2 years after release
I guess using BlueByte as PC porting and consulting studio did good for them.
I'm 1000% sure it will.
This sounds freakin' awesome! Really excited about ultra textures and framerate optimization. I'll gladly wait a two weeks and pick it up on PC.
This is definitely true, but I'll gladly take the PC version over console (30fps?). I also had to cap the framerate when the first Watchdogs game came out and it's nice to run it smoothly at a higher framerate now with a better videocard!

Of course, I will do the same. Also because I have no consoles hehe.
Apart from the technical aspects I am really interested in WD 2, I liked the first a lot, gameplaywise.
At this point average means good in my mind.
Surprisingly great approach from them with this. Addressing most of the usual concerns and being pretty open about what to expect. Specs seems pretty well ranged as well. If they keep this up I might have to pay attention to them again!

Hmm, what negative experiences have you had with Denuvo? I have yet to have one occur with me personally but I do hear a lot of people state they don't want it in their games.
From the FAQ:
I'm fine with this. Sure, no DRM would be better, but I understand they feel the need to protect their investment and as long as there's an offline mode after activation, I'm fine.
Sounds like it'll have lots of great options and appreciate how they keep supporting both Xbox and PS4 controllers.

Who wants to bet that it will be a stuttering mess when not locked to 30 fps???
The ultra textures will also probably be a worthless joke

It's really a shame about the delay. But if the port wasn't in good enough shape for release then it's for the best. This might actually push me toward the console version tbh.

Knowing Ubisoft the recommended specs are for max settings at 30 fps.
I hope that's not the case.

Disappointing about the delay, but those PC features sound great.
Excited to hear how it turns out.

I don't care about the delay if Ubisoft can provide us with a good PC game.
Well, they're virtually meaningless without any sort of context. People tend to assume that "recommended" means "playable framerate at max settings", but this is virtually never the case as there's no standards by which publishers have to adhere when releasing system specifications. Really, all you can infer from recommended specifications when they're left dangling on their own is that such a system is going to offer a better experience than one closer to the minimum; the degree to which that is the case is almost always the million-dollar question.
Nooooooo why , why must they delay it to FFXV's release date
The console versions haven't been delayed. Buy the PS4 version on the 15th and then, if you're so inclined, the PC version for posterity once it's sufficiently discounted.
