There is an Ultra setting.

If consoles can run WD on high, then I should be able to comfortably with my i5-3570K/GTX660.
Right?
Yes.

I really hope it runs ok. Really interested to see about the whole 6GB of ram thing. Also, CPU usage.

I doubt that the Ultra setting will be that much different. The gap between consoles and PC will stay at resolution, AA, AF and fps (my guess).
Haha, exactly.
Very low is probably better than last gen
Plus Nvidia stuff like HBAO+, TXAA, and extra particles/physics effects like a lot of recent Ubisoft games.

If the game is good i will get the ps4 version.
Wheres the guy with the witcher avatar who said it would run on low? Lol

bf4 has shown us otherwise. The graphical quality of effects will also be greater.

BF4 was a launch game though...and their goal was to get conquest large at 60 fps.

I'm cool with that.
If I can run it maxed I will, but I won't feel too cheated if I can only handle high.

Mmm, best to wait and see. I think we'll find PC has access to higher res textures and the Nvidia settings.
Yup same here.
I get it that devs don't want to undersell the next-gen versions of these games, but we have seen with games like Battlefield that it will most likely be equivalent to medium settings.

Ultra is always just some really demanding AA and/or some other resource hog feature that doesn't really change the visuals that much. So its just a regular console port after all and not the "closer to the 2012 demo" miracle some folks were hoping for.

And the Wii U?

Getting to the point I responded to, if you look at games that exist (ubisoft games included), the ultra setting looks better from an effects point of view than the high.
It is not just extra AA and resolution, which has nothing to do with most CVAR sliders.
I mentioned BF4 because it showed how ng console games are not pc ultra settings. And should never be expected to be, that would be technically impossible in games which focused on scaling to modern hardware.

I'm buying the PS4 version, but waiting for the price to drop. Hopefully Ubisoft can patch it up to 1080p like they did for AC4.
Meanwhile, Mario Kart 8 is Day One!

I wish I could increase the font size to add emphasis to this
Seeing as the resolution and framerate will depend on each person's individual PC, that would be a really stupid thing for them to say.

At 792p/900p 30fps, these next gen consoles better be able to run this on high settings.
The majority of PC players aren't going to be running it <900p and <30fps if they can hit high
But 30 FPS isn't a setting. It's a feature?

Yes thats a good point. Ng cant handle ultra. Bf4 could have looked a lot better on ps4 though if they had gone for 30 fps
Good. In a couple years we can buy cheaper 4k TV's and play the games targeted for barely 1080p consoles at the higher resolution.
It's about the PR spin, baby. No one actually believes it.

Watch Dogs has been quite the ride, I think we can all say that.
Each person's decision is immaterial to the point of reference that a developer is trying to make; Since whatever "High" means is a fixed set of graphical features, adding framerate and resolution to the statement would be quite silly.
I don't see how this is in any way controversial.

You do know you're going to eat your words eventually right? This is the same bullshit console gamers were spouting last gen. And 2 years in PC games already looked and ran much better.
3 years in, they featured hundreds of dynamic lights vs 2, thousands of particles vs none, 4 times the texture resolution, a ton of texture effects that were non-existant on consoles, AF, WAY better AA, WAY better LOD levels and no or little pop-in, millisecond load times, way better view distance (And FOV to boot), more AI, better pathfinding, more accurate physics, 1080p+ 60+ FPS, etc, etc.
I don't understand why you do this to yourselves. The PS4 is banging right now. No doubt about it. But this is a losing battle for you, so why even fight it?
Not to mention that I doubt the settings are truly all high. EA said the same thing about BF4 and that was a pack of lies. We'll see I guess.

"Next gen" games at 4K with AA is going to be incredible.
