That doesn't look terrible at all. Looks like a decent 360 title.
It looks like it's running horrible though and I do agree that it looks much worse than GTAV (which I think looks spectacular and runs really well considering.)

Not looking as good as GTAV is not really something to be ashamed of. Expectations.

looks pretty good for last gen, it's got motion blur.
Pop-in yes, but lighting and textures...really??!
I'm guessing the frametrate had to do with the video encode. If it actually runs like that then... lol.
This. GTAV is beautiful despite its poor IQ.

Looks alright to me. If I only had a 360, I'd be totally fine with how this game looks and plays.

Yup, does not seem that bad, actually.

Is this the daytime footage? I wouldn't take it as representative if it is. There's a noticeable capture issue and the brightness levels are all over the place.
What is amazing is that I hated this game before for all the 180 turns and downgrades, but watching the entire gameplay (part 2 only so far), I am convinced: the game actually plays well? And the story sounds okay as well. Certainly above "let us shoot everything that moves" level.

Kinda an over exaggeration, it doesn't look that bad especially consider it is running on the 360.

Okay, it get's affected somewhat, but you can still easily tell a pretty game from an ugly one by comparing youtube videos. Youtube quality isn't so terrible that it completely restricts your ability to tell when something looks nice or shit.
And even with youtube quality, you can tell that the lighting looks completely flat, and the textures aren't that great.
It has to be. From the stream yesterday it ran surprisingly smooth.

Had no idea Ubisoft was publishing a sequel to No More Heroes 2.
I expect early missions will be fun and well thought out before descending into the usual Ubi garbage.
Honestly, calling this ugly is a great exaggeration. It is binary thinking. There are plenty of ugly games on 360, Watch Dogs so far does not seem to be one of them. It looks okay. Not great, but not bad either. Especially considering its scope.
That might be true indeed. I have no idea. Still not going to buy this, but will check out some story recaps if it turns out to be good.

I'm surprised that it ended up being the same game on all platforms (if that has been confirmed).
I thought we'd be looking at a Splinter Cell Double Agent situation with the last gen versions being something different from the new console game. But the 360/PS3 keeps on kicking.
Still have the Wii U version pre-ordered just for curiosity's sake.

The graphics aren't that sub-par...this type of comments that just reeks as people being insecure about their latest new toy...
Looks like crap but I guess it was expected.
Probably, seeing how Ubi had no problem in releasing Far Cry 3 on the PS360 which run at 20-25fps and with 50% tearing on top of that I wouldn't be surprised if Watch Dogs runs this badly.

Wait, surely the frame-rate is an issue with the video and not the game. That's just too low a frame-rate. It's like that Spiderman 2 Xbox One Twitch stream which made the game seem much choppier than it actually was.
The frame-rate there is even lower than FC3 and it stays consistently low throughout.

Ok THIS feed is shocking, the capture is poor (and affecting the FPS) the contrast is too high and the entire feed looks crappy.
I agree you can tell a good game from an ugly one on YT, just not this one, I think it still looks very good for a last gen game, I am confused on what people expected from it really!

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
His capture framerate is just dreadful. Makes the game look like it runs worse than MGS3DS.

I guess maybe I've just forgotten how bad games look in general on the old gen consoles
His jacket actually looks fantastic, especially when under ambient lighting. It doesn't appear to be as good as GTA but it seems a step above a Xbox 1 game.
I wonder if they're going to be any Hannibal-inspired scores.
Fannables would be all over this if there were mod tools on then PC version.

The fuck is with Aiden's voice?
Wait, where is your evidence that it can barely run on next-gen? Yeah sure last-gen doesn't look crash hot, but we just had a PS4 stream and it looked quite nice.

So you link the same video as OP to prove to OP that the video he linked to must be a pirated copy or fucked up settings?

edit: nvm
I saw some leaked ps3 gameplay and it actually looked pretty good, the rain was actual individual drops and you could see it hitting puddles. I feel this time ubisoft has mastered the ps3, so ps3 will be>360 (only slightly though). They basically reached parity with AC4 so that's a good sign that they know the inner workings of the ps3 very well now

It being ugly is hardly a surprise, neither is it looking boring, which however is the real disappointment.

Can't you see the timestamp? if not check 12:40.
or did he just fast forward the video? lol.

Lighting is flat and gta has better artdirection.
But it's not that big of a difference imo.
I do think gta looks a bit better though

Thread was about gameplay and every comment is about graphics lol. What were we expecting on last gen when Ubisoft are developing for many more platforms than Rockstar did, it's a valiant effort. As for the lighting, yes it's a bit washed out, but looks different from all other videos so maybe a capture issue limited/full rgb mismatch or something. We all know Xbox 360 has a custom gamma curve which saturates colours, so it's odd seeing a washed out game on 360.
I thought he was chasing that guy for overly long periods... And mission had cool story but was pretty bland, probably just because it's the start of the game, I hope.
