Even with the unfortunate downgrade, I'm still excited for this. The story/gameplay should be fun enough. But it's really a shame about the visuals, should've gone for next-gen only rather than cross-gen.

 

[Always-honest]

Aperently the Aisha Tyler Trailer was the most honest trailer, they ever released for this game. And it looked so bad that afterwards even the creative director said it was not the original quality of the game. Well... now we know better.

Some of us actually know better, yes.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Nice demonstration of 3DS max and Photoshop Ubi. Reminds me of their work around FC3 :

The game never look anywhere close

 

[robertsan21]

Cross gen titles dont look all that great on PS4 and xboned.

Still, this trailer makes the game look interesting again even if there has been a graphical downgrade.

Are these screens from Far Cry 4?

j/k

Obvious bullshots are obvious.

Exactly. Disappointed as I am, I'm not canceling my pre-order or anything. I still think it'll be a great game.

Ah hell no...jezus christ what deceiving footage.

 

[acklame]

I'm not a fan of Ubisoft's bullshot routine but come on now, you can find an ugly shot of any game, especially an open world game. Claiming the whole game will feel like that one particular ugly sequence is simply jumping the gun because you have no way of knowing that until you play the game.

I've actually been one of the people that defended the game from people who said the game had been downgraded a lot, prior to ubisoft delaying the game. But now, with this trailer. Holy fucking shit, they downgraded the everliving shit out of it.

The entire trailer looks bad compared to all the footage they showed before the delay.

 

[NavyPharaoh]

Perfect lol

 

[BFIB]

City streets look lifeless. Hardly any pedestrians on the streets.

This game has lost all hype from me. I really hope I'm proved wrong, because the premise sounds promising.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Trailer was awesome, I've been excited for this game for so damn long.

They better not delay it.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Certainly looks like it's been amended.

Went from Bradley Cooper to Alcoholic Matthew Fox.

 

[Smash88]

If that is PS4 footage, is there hope that the PC version will look better than this abomination?

 

[nelsonroyale]

because why not, E3 2012 vs March 2014

That honestly looks like a sub-par PS3 game. This game could be a massive joke. Hopefully not.

 

[Liamario]

Anyone with knowledge of these things care to try and explain what happened. What would be the reason they made the downgrade; was it ever running on PS4 hardware?

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

because why not, E3 2012 vs March 2014

I'd say its basically the same, just one time with a wet road and a shiny car and the other time with a dry road and a not so shiny car.
But I've seen shiny cars in the footage released today.

 

[halfbeast]

The story seems pretty bad. The dude's magic hacker smartphone is like the ultimate deus ex machina. He might as well have a Game Gear that can look into the future.

:O

I love you

Spoiler

for that surf ninja reference

!

 

[nelsonroyale]

The disappointing this is they should have been able to achieve their original vision. Infamous looks better to me than the original reveal. It doesnt look that amazing at this stage. This just looks low ball...

 

[CriterionDog]

That was an amazing trailer!! DAY ONE. It looks phenomenal!! : D

No. Bad hyperbolic fanboy. Bad! I'd whack you with a newspaper if I could.

Anyway, don't care--was never interested in this for graphics in the first place. Hype for the release.

 

[-Deimos]

Old face was better and his voice really does suck. I thought you guys were exaggerating on the graphics, you weren't.

 

[GeoMatrix]

SPOT ON

 

[TetraGenesis]

I agree on every point. I already was very, very underwhelmed with the trailer but after watching the gameplay...oh my god. So unimpressive, so uninspired. It honestly seems like more of a downgrade now than it did before it was delayed. Especially after watching the inFamous gameplay today.

Cross gen has clearly hurt this game notably. But even GTAV seemed to have better lighting and models on last gen consoles.

 

[theycallmeryan]

It seems like Xbox 360 footage, I know it was "confirmed" as PS4 footage, but I'm thinking that the Twitter account that confirmed that was misunderstanding what trailer they were talking about. Why would a trailer on the 360 dashboard be advertising the next gen version of the game?

 

[tbm24]

So, game looks pretty awesome judging from that Story Trailer. Shall buy, thankfully it launches right when the semester is over.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Hacking and Hentai: One Ridiculous Hour in the Watch Dogs Sandbox

LOL

This still continues to sound like it has potential. Not sure what to think about the skill tree stuff, but then this is Ubisoft so there'd just have to be bars to fill. I've got basicallly zero hype left for this anyway (regardless of today's fun threads), and between this preview and the new trailer I just dunno yet what kind of game they're actually going to be giving me.

 

[i-Lo]

Is Leonard Nimoy the voice of the antagonist?

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Nice demonstration of 3DS max and Photoshop Ubi. Reminds me of their work around FC3 :

Jesus, how is stuff like that legal? Surely it's deceptive advertising?

 

[FStop7]

because why not, E3 2012 vs March 2014

Looks like an original Xbox game vs. a PS3/360 game.

 

[dripdripsplash]

Game looks like butt. Will wait for next gen only sequel, Watch_Cats

Hahahhaha

That made me laugh way more than it should have... Thanks!

 

[Fried Food]

have they come out and said that the footage was last gen yet?

it looks like a last gen pc port.

 

[admartian]

And we complain why people don't take gamers/geeks/nerds seriously...

 

[plumpblumpkin]

This is false advertising.

 

[hengyu]

Double post oops

 

[hengyu]

because why not, E3 2012 vs March 2014

Dear god...

 

[BundysFeet]

This is false advertising.

How so?

 

[Ahasverus]

It's very possible, almost certain, that the last leg of development was to close the gap between the last gen and current gen versions.

How does this work?

 

[hengyu]

I'd say its basically the same, just one time with a wet road and a shiny car and the other time with a dry road and a not so shiny car.
But I've seen shiny cars in the footage released today.

Wtf are you smoking?

 

[Ghazi]

Xbox 360 Preview Dashboard? I wasn't aware there were going to be more updates for the 360. Unless this means through an ad/tile on the dashboard.

 

[keuja]

Looks like an iPad racing game.

 

[RoboPlato]

These don't even look like game screenshots to me. They look like posed artwork from a CG studio.

 

[sphagnum]

Makes me feel better about getting the Wii U version (if it comes out).

 

[plumpblumpkin]

The visuals look great here in the 14min video:

Yeah, well thats from 2013, before the delay.. things have changed.

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

Putting the graphical downgrade aside the game itself looks awful.

 

[Yagharek]

Putting the graphical downgrade aside the game itself looks awful.

Agreed. I expect it to play and perform as bad as Ass Creed games did. Busted AI, frame rates of sub-30fps, bland missions, lots of forced slow walking.

 

[cdkee]

Why would a delay make the game look worse? Makes no sense.
