Is there a rule on breaking embargos? As the duplicate story was posted before these screens were supposed to up.

Freak of Nature3997d ago

The first rule of embargos is too "not" break them.... I am not sure in this case if it was the chicken or the egg that came first...

Either way... This is one beautiful game eye candy wise. And the gameplay from all I have seen thus far looks to match it. This one is near the top of my most wanted list...

abzdine3996d ago

looks cool for a multiplatform game but since i saw the new inFamous: Second Son's screen i am not impressed by Watch Dogs anymore.

starchild3996d ago

I don't know what games you are looking at. I think Infamous Second Son looks amazing, but I think this looks just as good. I'm just excited that we are getting games like these.

despair3997d ago

Its risky business I guess in breaking embargos. I mean sure you would be the first one break the news(or show the shots) which is good for your site, but on the other hand the publishers will probably not want to give you anything again early as you show yourself untrustworthy when it comes to sticking to their release timeline and restrictions.

elmaton983996d ago

Is not like they gonna find gonna though unless of course they go by the site and not who they have it to.

AngelicIceDiamond3997d ago

I agree but the screens look good nonetheless.

Maddens Raiders3996d ago

Meh, who cares? Looks "multplatformish" anyway imo, aka not looking as good as a first party effort would. Let the disagrees commence, just saying...

STGuy10403996d ago (Edited 3996d ago )

So this was approved after the duplicate story?

Plus, the press Ubisoft sent out did not indicate that these were PS4 screenshots.

are thees screens finally from ps4 version?

meetajhu3997d ago (Edited 3997d ago )

Its from the PC version. I don't get why they do false scamming. Why not post the real console screenshot.

he's the PS4 version look how cheap quality it looks

I'm hoping that is from the PS4, it looks amazing. I'm also hoping it runs very smoothly.

stuna13997d ago

you must be looking at the SD footage, because the HD footage looks fantastic.

cannon88003997d ago

@meetajhu

That is not the ps4 version.

sourav933997d ago

It's on the official playstation magazine webstite. I don't think they're the type to 'scam'.

Army_of_Darkness3997d ago

Since when did the playstation controller get an "A" "B" button?? LOL!what a Noob troll.

pixelsword3996d ago (Edited 3996d ago )

@ meetajhu:

Pause at 1:27 and you'll see LT, RT, B for the controls: it's the 360 version, and maybe at least the PS3 version, maybe; but not the PS4.

No offense, but that's a weak assault on the PS4.

Crazyglues3996d ago (Edited 3996d ago )

People I cleared this all up in a blog explaining everything - Check it out here - http://n4g.com/blogs/detail...

IF you have the power to approve please approve it so we can get the explanation out there... and clear things up

Eyeco3996d ago

that's not the ps4 version it looks like the 360 version, you can tell by the button prompt's (a,b,x,y) however I'm gonna assume you're not trolling.

IRetrouk3996d ago (Edited 3996d ago )

That video has 360 button promts, try harder, look for the latest dev diary ps4 video, it clearly shows playstation button promts, you fail.

Cyfyxtfg3997d ago

its the ps4 version. it says it right there in the story my friend

cannon88003997d ago (Edited 3997d ago )

We are not talking about the images, we are talking about the video that meetajhu posted; saying that it was ps4's version of the game and that it didn't look as good. He's wrong by the way.

AhmadCentral3996d ago

It's the PC version with an Xbox controller.

DrJones3996d ago

At 3:02 there is a triangle icon on wether or not to enter the car.

sourav933995d ago

That was a excerpt from the ps4 gameplay from the ps4 reveal event. The rest of the video it all shows Y to enter a car. A to take cover. LT and RT to zoom out and in, etc. So you get the gist.

SatanSki3996d ago

I dont know but they are definitely not 1080p. Sadly

MasterCornholio3997d ago (Edited 3997d ago )

Wow no jaggies and its in 1080P

http://media.officialplayst...

And no i dont believe hes being racist to the black guy by pointing a gun at his head.

Now lets see the Wii U version.

@vishmarx

Nah im never getting a Wii U so i will never regret it. But Nintendo fans claim that the Wii U version will be the same as the PS4 one which is why im dying to see the comparison between the two. And before they can brag about the tablet controller there will be a mobile app for this game which will bring the same experience to anyone who owns this game and a smartphone.

vishmarx3997d ago

lol i know i was just saying youre gonna be haunted by wii u fanboys from now on...

also i dont think wii u version will be on par with nex gen ones...lol..
the best wii u can hope is to get a few 360 ps3 ports while it lasts to run stable...its obvious wii u dies the day ps360 support ends//not like it has a lot rnow// imean its just ubisoft+nintendo so far

bitboi3997d ago

It's funny when people think that any other version of this game that's not on the ps4 or next xbox is gonna look like crap. This is not going to be like ps3 vs ps2 when it comes to gfx. If the only things that one can compare is whether they see jaggies or not than the graphical leap isn't as big and brag worthy.

josephayal3997d ago

Watch Dogs looks to really put gta5 to shame

GiantFriendlyCrab3997d ago (Edited 3997d ago )

on fun factor and replay value also?, i dont think so

sourav933995d ago

Neither games are even out yet...

ape0073996d ago (Edited 3996d ago )

watchdogs look good but it cannot be compared to GTA it's too generic against gta my friend

DrJones3996d ago

True. Generic main character and design compared to gta5.

MidnytRain3996d ago

It's weird how people agree with you guys when so many people seem to think that the last GTA was overrated.

mamotte3997d ago

Maybe it's just my imagination but... this game will require awesome reflexes to hack in real time while driving a bike.

Watch Dogs Deserves A Remake, More Than Ever

With the world of information and technology, privacy and security growing every day, Watch Dogs deserves another chance in the spotlight, now more than ever.

RaidenBlack996d ago

The only Ubi title that deserves a faithful remake right now is Splinter Cell 1.
All 2014+ Ubi titles are just underwhelming. Especially ones from 2016+ are just cancer.

LucasRuinedChildhood995d ago (Edited 995d ago )

Seriously, are we so far removed from Ubisoft actually making good games that people now praise Watch_Dogs in retrospect?

"Watch_Dogs has remained one of my favourite games of the last ten years." Jesus Christ.

HankHill995d ago

I remember being so disappointed in Watch Dogs when I played it at release. It was alright, but I think I fell for the hype and I needed a game to play on my new PS4.

obidanshinobi995d ago

This is what happens when mediocrity gets praised as good.
Standards are slipping across the whole entertainment industry.
What was once considering rubbish is now considered as OK, what once was OK is now being praised as good etc etc.

LamerTamer995d ago

Everyone has their own likes. I liked it a lot myself. I played through it twice and liked the car chases and the open world with fairly decent environments and missions. It suffered from the whole downgrade thing where they showed graphics that weren't actually there. No game will appeal to everyone but it was still ambitious for it's time.

gantarat995d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee995d ago

For certain! AC1 was brilliant at the time but with new graphics and gameplay it would be amazing! Do you prefer old combat or new though?

RaidenBlack995d ago

I'd say a reimagining of AC1.
I direct AC1 remake would be a bad idea. It'll need better story pacing and significant better world building.

BlaqMagiq1995d ago

Old. Let it play like how it did with AC2-Syndicate style gameplay but refine the setting and story.

Profchaos995d ago

It would need a lot changed for it to be enjoyable again as even back in 2007 on launch we were all complaining about it's repetitive gameplay go here perform one of three side quests repeat then assassination now do it over and over until a big battle with a unforgiving checkpoint system.

BlaqMagiq1995d ago

Absolutely. It needs it. The only AC I truly didn't enjoy.

chicken_in_the_corn995d ago

I'd prefer it didn't. Ubisoft would make it so bloated, it wouldn't be anywhere near the original

smolinsk995d ago (Edited 995d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos995d ago (Edited 995d ago )

As a fan of the franchise legion was garbage and I regretted my purchase for the first time in the franchise the entire thing felt like an experiment in NPC behaviour and released without the writers input on what makes a good story.

I don't think I'm alone in that feeling though as wrench and Aiden are brought back and the campaign was rewritten to fit them.

I am tempted to buy the season pass to play it again with Aiden but fool me twice shame on me I'm waiting for a deep sale

camel_toad995d ago

Agreed. Despite the annoying hipness of the characters in part 2 I thought it was a really fun game. I was extremely disappointed and surprised at how many steps back they took with Legion. You'd think it was made by an entirely different team. Or was it?

It was just so devoid of fun.

LamerTamer995d ago

Honestly one of my biggest annoyances with Legion is that they took out the camera views for the driving. I mean the behind the car view that they stuck us with is near unplayable. I always used a first person driving view. After two releases why did they take OUT features? I don't get it.

TheSinsibleOne995d ago

The fist watchdog game was the best by far
After that they weren't weird and annoying with that hipster stuff. Aiden was a badass.

LamerTamer995d ago

I thought so at first too. I got used to it and it ended up being good after some play time. I just had to give it a chance.

TheEnigma313995d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack995d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma313995d ago

That's good news. Hopefully it's done right.

Inside the Driver game that died so that Watch Dogs could live

From VG247: "When cars slide, they leave tyre marks. In a game like Driver, they’re an aesthetic touch, part of the inherent cool of a handbrake turn. But those dark shadows in the road also tell a story. From tyre marks, you can determine the speed of a vehicle, when it started to skid, and its ultimate direction of travel – long after the car itself has vanished into the distance."

vallencer1060d ago

Different spellings in different parts of the world friend. Tyre is a correct way to spell it.

Pridefall1060d ago

Dunno why you got downvpted when tyre is correct in Australia.

mikefizzled11059d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921060d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1060d ago

Why did they stop making some of the best games ever? Driver was one of them.

Gameseeker_Frampt1059d ago

Assassins Creed 2 showed Ubisoft how to make money and Far Cry 2 showed them that gamers don't like complex ideas. Now Ubisoft just turns out games that are just variations of the same thing.

WeAreLegion1060d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1060d ago

A story driven game with pure driving gameplay. I'd love to see a new Driver game or a remake of the first one.

ApocalypseShadow1060d ago

Yes. This one. A definite remake of the first without adding any ridiculous fluff. The first game had great physics and sound for its time. The start of the car in the beginning cinema I watched constantly. My father and uncles were big muscle and classic car freaks. Only thing crazy about the game was the relentless cops in the last level. Insane the way those police cars were and launched at you.

Bleemcast made it look better just like PC emulators. But would definitely take a remake.
