Watch_Dogs will sell because the lowest common denominator, a segment of the market that Ubisoft excels at selling to, doesn't really care about any of the shit we're discussing. For example, Assassin's Creed 3 sold gangbusters and somehow reviewed well despite being one of the most half-baked and reviled entries in the series.

Watch Dogs will sell well because there's nothing else to play on PS4 and Xbone for months

Also no reflections from NPCs in the puddle on the left and the stairs seem to have disappeared altogether!

Texture quality isn't on highest is it ? Surely ?
If anyone else wants this and are getting shit download speeds from playerattack, just google "120604_4pmPST_WatchDogs_BROLL_part1.mov" and you'll find a torrent with the video files that's pretty well seeded.

Can someone make a screenshot comparison on pc with the 2012 trailer and tweet to that morin guy in what way it is improved? I am really pissed off right now seeing the pc version looked nowhere better.

I noticed texture settings are in a separate graphics settings area to where "Ultra" is selected. I wonder if he forgot to bump that one up ?
Jesus, those look like shit.
The day screenshots might look good if you squint.

Lighting looks like the only issue really, those screens have pretty good asset quality, especially for an open world game. I hope this is something related to the fact that this is early and a lot of the screens MIGHT be from pirated copies. Hopefully a little SweetFX or something can fix this up (not to the point of the E3 reveal though), that stuff can make a big difference.

Ah fair doos. Guess we will just have to wait for the Wild West screenshots to calm down and people are more exact with their settings

Thought this picture was funny because of the blurring this game does. Like some kid came along and smudged a painting with his greasy fingers.

Something I'd really like is for someone on an Ultra settings PC to reconstruct the walk in the beginning of the 2012 reveal. It wasn't night and it looked great, so it should give us a good idea of how big the downgrade hit was.
That's by whatever the game equivalent of the Chicago Theater is. Shouldn't be hard to find.
I saw a video yesterday of a youtuber that had recent preview access and my take away from what he was saying made it sound like you could choose between opening yourself up to public/random invades or just people on your friends list

Even if there was competition people are anticipating it enough for it to sell to their expectations.
Cool I hope that's true. I don't have a problem with randoms, but the real deal is to hack into friend's games and mess with them.

Sigh, and this is why I want to buy a gaming PC after college.

Seems like the gameplay from that 2012 "demo" is intact, but I want to play this kind of amazing graphics and environmental effects, not just a last gen sandbox game with a twist. Just can't get excited about this game anymore.

Someone took comparable screenshots of this exact thing from the 2012 reveal and ps4 (?) footage. The downgrade is very evident but not abysmal if you didn't have anything to compare it to. People are suggesting the PC graphics aren't leaps and bounds over next gen so who knows?
It's somewhere in this thread and/or the other watchdogs preview thread

Im not sure what conclusion should I get on those pics. This one at the same time that looks better, is too blurry and with some strange pixel mess all around. And the others screenshots looks worse then that one, specially the ones less blurry. Thats strange.
Edit:
Ok, those last screenshots looks way better now. But damn... Aiden is fucking ugly! LOL
Edit 2:
Well... at the original size it doesnt look good anyway.

Everything about this shot looks absolutely hilarious.
I mentioned in my original post with that link that some weird stuff was going on with MSAA enabled.

Damn pc version already cracked.
I think many people are comparing it to the E3 2012 trailer, which had everyones expectations of the graphics extremely high.
That "pixel mess" one is just someone spinning around and the blur coming into play.

I'll try to replicate that. I've already seen some nice explosions, though im unsure how accurate they were to that one video.
Also, am I allowed to post videos
of my horrible k/b driving skills
AHAHAHAHA Holy shit.

Can you put your own music in the game?
That'd be really neat.

Alright so something is clearly going on here, when you compare it to the Nvidia trailer which was only a few months ago, something is severely missing. Either its due to it being a pirated copy and things are just weird or Ubisoft hasn't flicked the high-res switch. It just seems so...off right now.
Edit: Looking at those screens above and then some of the earlier galleries, each one is just too varied. Maybe it looks better in motion? I just can't wrap my head around how it is so different between user experiences.

Complete lack of object/NPC reflections make me sad.
