Why does GTA5 (current gen) look better than Watch Dogs (next gen)?

Im surprised so many people actually agree with this statement.
Watch_Dogs looks better than GTAV to me, by quite some margin actually.
When the character trailers came out i actually thought to myself, this looks like trash(hyperbole), im so ready for next gen and/or PC gaming has spoiled me.
DOesnt change the fact that from what we have seen Watch_Dogs looks better.....Vanilla for Vanilla the PC version still looks better than GTAV.
Current gen Watch_Dogs might not look that impressive(havent seen it) but nextgen Watch_Dogs is going to look not dissimilar to the PC videos we have seen, maybe only running at 30Fps as opposed to PC versions 120-fps
Because it is current gen. You can tell by looking at it.

The rainy night in Watch_Dogs was far more impressive to me than anything shown in GTAV. Honestly I felt a lot of the animations for GTAV looked stiff and jerky (particularly Michael lying down and taking a drink from his glass).
Obligatory gif
Dem specular maps, however will anyone else compete?
After Far Cry 3 i don't trust them anymore.
Even Maxed out on PC that come doesn't come close to the E3 demo.
I think GTA V looks great, as far as art direction goes, and it even looks phenomenal as an ps360 open world game.
But speaking in general, the IQ is really bad, the textures are abysmal and the draw distance could be better.
It doesn't compare with WD, really.
When they will show Watch Dogs running on 360 and ps3, a comparison will make more sense.

It definitely doesn't.
The art direction is far better though.

Watch Dogs is high end PC but still current gen.
It'll be the difference between King Kong on Xbox and Xbox 360.

It has colour.
Watch Dogs is brown.
Watch Dogs is brown.
Watch Dogs is a next-gen game, period.
The PS3 and 360 versions disagree with you.

Watch Dogs and Sleepy Dogs both look better than GTA5. Maybe if GTA5 gets a future PC release it will be able to compete against them.

Have we even been shown PS360 versions of the game? For all we know the game could like poo.

Escape the paparazzi mission?
paparazzi: check
Michael ( all the previews said Michael): check
female: check ( looks female)
driving away from them: check
I would think it is.
Yes.
I came to post this.

Pointless thing to bring up.
This is a much better parallel, though your Madden analogy didn't fit all that well in the first place.

To add to this, here was Ubisoft's last cross-gen effort.
Remember back when people thought GRAW had great graphics?
Not saying this game doesn't look incredible, but the screenshots definitely don't paint a picture of what the actual games look like. At least, for current gen.
My post was supposed to be in favor of Watch Dogs. :lol

Well you're going to be pleasantly surprised when you see a true next gen game.
GTA IV, RDR and LA Noire trailers look like the final game.
Hopefully GTAV will, too.
Um...
FWIW, i love the colors in these two screens.
How does it look on ps360? I've only played it on PC (which is amazing looking, of course).
Nighttime while it's raining Sleeping dogs is one of the best looking games IMO.
My screen shot, now imagine it looking 5 times better in motion ( doesn't fully capture how beautiful this moment was)
Yeah I mean I think GTA V has a great art direction, but on a tech level it certainly doesn't blow me away.

watch dogs looks too fucking tight imo
not tuco tight, i mean not not natural tight
GTA looks NATURAL TUCO TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT YEEEEAAAH!

Oh i agree.
I mean i don't blame them for putting the scale and the 3 characters thing ahead of IQ and assets, but the drawbacks are evident, unfortunately.
I can only hope for the PC version.
Also the wii version:

Haha, well those were all really nice screens
I don't think this is very controversial:
gifs don't normally do anything for me, but the shenmue vibe it somehow gives off makes me want this.
Well, here are some Digital Foundry screenshots from the 360 version, since this is a fair question:
Cutscene:
Gameplay:
Distance:
Of course you can't do something like fly a plane in the game.

The recent GTAV character trailers made me decide that this gen needs to end now.

On a technical level, it isn't. GTA has great art direction and color, but it doesn't have anything on Watch Dogs. Bokeh, multiple particle effects, higher resolution textures, etc., it looks pretty solid.
That's not to say GTAV will look bad, but again on a technical level it can't stand with Watch Dogs.

If those trailers are how the game will look on consoles, I think that's impressive. To be pushing 5x Red Dead's map with all that detail, more pedestrians, animals in the countryside/mountains, Euphoria physics, air and sea vehicles, jumping between 3 characters who can be across the map, etc. is pretty damn impressive on these ancient consoles.
I love Sleeping Dogs, but if they were doing what Rockstar's doing, that game would look hideous. Scale has to count for something.

Oh by all means the game is really impressive for current generation consoles, it's just that I don't think it realistically is more visually impressive than Watch_Dogs.
Of course that's not an apples to apples comparison since Watch_Dogs isn't made for current gen consoles first and foremost.
I'm quite curious to see what Red Dead Revolution or GTA VI look like on next-gen.

Sleeping Dogs looks better than what ive seen of GTAV.
Watch_Dogs looks graphically more impressive than GTAV as well.
Whether Watch_Dogs has a current gen version or not doesnt really matter cuz as far as i can tell all we have seen is the PC(next-gen) version and that version def looks better than GTAV, in my eyes anyway.
