Watch_Dogs - Playstation Exclusive Trailer

How can it be "first true "next-gen" looking worlds" when it is being developed cross-gen? Hopefully, the division will be the first true next gen world as that is only being developed for the latest systems. You can't expect to have "next-gen" detail when you've got teams and resources split over 6 different platforms, as opposed to 3.

I expect it to look like they made it look, is all :P
 
Urg, "exclusive" content needs to die in the ass.

It will never go away, it happens everywhere in our world. I was looking at credit cards yesterday and so many companies are offering "exclusive" content, like 0% on balance transfers, no rate of interest etc. It's the same here, it's too try and lure you over by saying, "look, we offer content no-one else has, why pay the same price for less content".
It's good, granted, it's not good if you've not got the system the content is being designed for, but it helps drive competition by offering consumers more stuff.
 
I saw the downgrade coming, but man, this looks really poor compared to ISS. Which is funny because it looked rough originally. Shows how much focus and single platform development helps.
 
All bets are that everyone will buy it anyway. I'm not sure downgrade discussion is making much sense anymore. Got to wait for the reviews to roll in
 
Meh, the more they show, the more it looks like Assassin's Creed: Chicago.

I predict there will be a large amount of useless shit to collect.
 
Every single future Watch_Dogs thread will be about "Downgrade or not ?" ?

The new outfit looks very very bad btw.

Why? Didn't Edge say Infamous looked last gen.

Yeah so, why do people care about what reviewers say again. Watch Dogs looks much better now then it did.

yeah looks like they removed reflections and even bokeh from the DoF
No, it's just not wet there. And the DoF still has bokeh. It's more apparent in that gif because that is a cinematic so they've made a shallower DoF.

Here's some obvious reflections from today's trailer:

true , but they still seem to be missing the relfective quality on the cars/metal as seen in that gif, and perhaps the bokeh is only in the cinematics in the retail version, but it is defintly not in what I assume is a gameplay pic in my orginal posts. That is just a basic soft blur, and has the same problem of that effect in most last gen games of bluring out the whole image, and then puttiing the in-focus object on top, like you can see happening around the light post. There is defintly a reduction in shader, lighting and detail quality though. Makes me wonder if they had to scale back or downgrade the scope and gameplay as well.
 
Faith restored after that trailer... I wonder if that trailer is less about showing the "exclusive" content, ie that random outfit and more about showing us yappy gits that it is a bit more up to scratch than we thought it was (Albeit their fault for their last footage).

Faith completely crushed (again) after that trailer, and not because of the graphics. Hacking seems to be just a gimmick... with action, explosions and killing people the main focus.

Disapointing!
 
Honestly... these "action" trailers make me feel like Watch Dogs might be the greatest Punisher game ever.

yeah... these trailers are kinda disturbing if you think about it lol. Aren't you pretty much a civilian running around beating up people and executing people at point blank, and shooting at cops?

gta is satirey, but this seems to be playing it straight. O.o
 
Ok so its not just me? The smoke and explosions really detract from the overall feel of everything else... yes they are that bad almost comically so.

yeah makes me think he is throwing smoke grenades when he tosses that grenande at another part in the trailer. And then the smoke is practically glowing white when you see it at night, doesnt seem to follow any lighting. Or lack there of.

What? If that's PC footage it's got even more downgraded than before.
Aside from turning down the details almost entirely, you mean? The reveal featured more than just one car and three NPCs on screen. lol

yes aside from everything else that has already been mentioned.
 
I'll forgive the game if they allow me to wear a suit and tie with no hat. Or at least give me an option to change into a fedora.

Then I can pretend he's a euphoric neckbeard with a mission. A mission to prove that was the worst. movie. ever.

The explosions look fine!

....if the game was cel shaded.

I don't know what's going on with their lighting, but it seems completely borked. Everything looks flat. I've noticed they're avoiding any chance for use to create like for like comparisons based on older footage. Similar scenario's. But never the same weather or time of day. More importantly then the obvious downgrade though, is the game itself. It's devolved into a kill-a-thon action fest and outside of that looks incredibly boring, thanks in part to the hacking being simplistic and gimmicky. I was incredibly hyped for this game and no i really couldn't care less.
 
Realistically speaking, how much would the PC that was running the debut trailer cost to put together? This recent trailer is clearly not even remotely on the same level as what was initially shown. That's not to stay that this trailer doesn't look good, just that there is a clear discrepancy between the two.

I am hoping they do address your points in a future trailer, I will give them the benefit of the doubt with this trailer focusing on the "exclusive" content.

My faith restored comment is more Inline with:

Reveal hype++++++++
LastGen looking trailer --------
Recent trailer +++

Basically my hype is just in the positive zone :)
 
Really looking forward to this. Just hope it errs more on the GTAV/Sleeping Dogs side of sandbox quality, and less on the GTAIV/Saints Row side. Bit worried about that obligatory Ubisoft open-world structure of climbing towers/hacking server centers to reveal various side-missions and collectibles in the surrounding area. I hate that shit in Far Cry and Assassin's Creed, so I hope I don't find it too off-putting here.
