These aren't true "in game" screen shots, nice to see some new media on it tho.

Kingthrash3603772d ago

im hoping they are ACTUALLY x1 screens....ms are known for otherwise.

nice to see from watchdogs tho.. cant wait for it.

nutcase133771d ago

Why the dislikes?!! some people...

Eonjay3771d ago

This would be the first images the world has ever seen of Watch Dogs running on an Xbox. Ever.

Imalwaysright3771d ago

Pretty much every dev and publisher is known for posting bullshots on the internet. It is a common practice in this industry and they always get away with it.

ThePope3771d ago

So is EVERY other publisher, developer, and manufacturer. They've all done it. So if you only say that to bash MS, or to pump up Sony (as they are the only competitor) delete your post.

Kingthrash3603771d ago (Edited 3771d ago )

for thos who misunderstand..ms has used ps4 content of watchdogs blurred out the buttons and called it x1 content my comment is in referance to that...ill look for link

ThePope3771d ago (Edited 3771d ago )

@King

Again, you don't know that was MS. Ubisoft is the one supplying the footage. I can't stand when people assume things without knowing the facts. Could it be true? possibly. But even then is it because the version's look identical, or is it that MS is trying to trick people 6 months before the launch of the game, especially when LOTS of footage will be coming out between now and launch. I'm not being an apologizer, you have to honestly ask yourself what's more likely?

So I'm sorry I still call foul.

alexkoepp3771d ago

Lol this game looks lame... it's like GTA but instead of doing ganster ****, you play on your cell phone and try to find the best wi-fi connections!

@evilsnuggle

If I knew you personally, I'd make you a pretty good bet that you're wrong and that it will be 1080p

The delay of the game has probably only strengthened that. Here's to hoping I'm right!

Kingthrash3603771d ago (Edited 3771d ago )

ok lets say it was ubisofts fault. why wouldn't ms notice this? you think they didn't look it over? i mean why wouldn't they question the blurred buttons.
maybe they didn't review...ok then why would ubisoft send it.. i mean it would be ubisoft who blurred the buttons right so they knew..so why no x1 version of the game at the time? all in all something went wrong either ms blurred and tried to display it as x1 footage or ubisoft dont have a running watchdogs on x1. either way you look at it its either
1. ms cover up
or
2. x1 system is too underpowered or just had issues like other 3rd party games due to its underpowered innards.
sad to think but maybe the game was delayed because of issues with the x1 and they needed more time to fix the issues...just a thought tho im not saying its true...but a possibility.

hakeem09963771d ago (Edited 3771d ago )

"Ms are known for otherwise " is MS making this game ? Last time i check MS got nothing to do with Watch Dogs so even if these screenshots were deceiving why would they be the one to blame, but not the people who make the game .same as that 720p COD thing when everyone was blaming them for a game that they didn't even make .

killzone 2 everyone

BALLBAGS3771d ago

@hakeem killzone 2 surpassed many elements in the promotion footage, a lot of people who played the game will agree

as for the playstation footage of watchdogs on the Xbox YouTube channel of course Microsoft knew, you think a multi billion dollar company doesn't have hired help to scrutinise every video that is submitted or shown? seriously it's the OFFICIAL Xbox channel!!!

as for watchdogs great to know it's up and running on the Xbox One let's hope both versions are 1080p so all gamers are happy... why does everybody just argue on this site over trivial things?

AndrewLB3771d ago

Last I checked, Sony also showed many PS4 games at E3 this year which were clearly superior to the retail version.

Why do the people in the 3rd image look so cartoonish? Doesn't look like the gameplay we've seen at all.

jonli13771d ago

how do u know were you there in person when these screen shot were taken please let us know

SlavisH23771d ago (Edited 3771d ago )

Of course he was there didn't you read his comment! I mean why would he lie? why would someone troll a version of the game they have zero interest in. Thats not what n4g is about guy! :P

jonli13770d ago

hey slavisH2 ur name sound like sloppy seconds

TheXgamerLive3771d ago

With the added dev time both should run 1080p, and i wonder if the Xbox One version will look better than ps4 version like all the otber multi plat
Release titles ps4 had better resolution but Xbox One had better graphics ala lighting colors details etc... maybe this time theyll be more even
No, this isnt the first images of the XB1 version and there has been video once as well.
Regardless the game should be great

GutZ313771d ago (Edited 3771d ago )

What dimension are you from?

Xbox one has better lighting/aliasing/colors/detai l than PS4? What game are you talking about? Digital Foundry's has pretty much completely sided with PS4 as lead in all aspects of superiority in those regards, including frame rate.

Please post link to where your statement is found to be true, and not just your own objective opinion.

classic193771d ago

its because they was ports, look at kzsf that is the best game on next gen graphically speaking is it not. cod/bf4/ac/ all other m plats. wait ac lookas better on ps4 then x1. but yea ps4 bf4 is the a ps3 port, same with cod on ps4 its a ps3 port. them games always looked slashes ran better o wait cod ps4 looks better then x1. lol only she can tell id say its up in the air.

ThatOneGuyThere3771d ago (Edited 3771d ago )

DOUBLE POOOOST!

Sarcasm3771d ago

Cocaine is helluva drug

TheXgamerLive3770d ago

Open your eyes at any digital foundry video. Just look. Nothing else to do, simply look at XB1 and PS4.

Deadpoolio3764d ago

That's a good one LMAO, I needed a good laugh..NONE of the Xbox 720p multiplats look better than the PS4 versions...FACT you should probably do some research before you claim things...EVERY site who has compared the multiplats FACTUALLY agree the PS4 versions look better....This isn't 2007 even PS3 multiplats started looking better than 360 versions

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney3771d ago

Looks like the $400 console version. Maybe lower rez.

Sammy7773771d ago

Those are all PC screens but i think xbox one version would not look bad, just could run at a lower resolution

Rimeskeem3771d ago

The close up images are nice but its the far away images that really could be sharper but none the less it looks like a great game on a good console.

UncleGermrod3771d ago

I think the angle and presentation are not quite what you would see in game, but it looks pretty believable. I wouldn't be surprised if that is what the game looks like, more or less

Zeniix3771d ago

''From the Xbox One version released''

That's what they also said when they were using the bf4 PC footage or Watch dogs ps4 footage, anyone remember those?

I hope you step on a shovel and it cracks you right in the ball sack for using the made up term bullshots.

1nsomniac3771d ago

Made up term?? How old are you? Bullshots are a known standard in the industry, it's no secret they're widely & commonly used & are called just that from the industry itself.

Now go sit back in the corner with the other special kids.

Callediceman3771d ago

OHHHH SHAZOOOOF! <---- proper use of a made up word

Oh_Yeah3771d ago

Remove yourself from this site .

BX813771d ago

Lmao. Clearly it was a joke. Walker didn't even respond.
1nsomniac however believes just because the "industry" uses it, it's not made up. No need to be mad bro. You can enjoy your made up words like bull shots and noob tube, I won't judge you.

TheXgamerLive3770d ago (Edited 3770d ago )

1somniac, my niece is a special needs kid. She has CP cerebral palsey. She loves gaming with me, it's therapeutic for her. Their have many times that people have made fun of her and it breaks my heart. I know you probably didnt mean anything by it but please dont make fun of them. To many their lives are to be thrown in the corner. Her life no matter how short is a special one to me.
Sorry everyone. Game one and enjoy.

BX813769d ago

@ XGamer. Thank you for sharing in a mature manner. It's important to remember that our words have power and can upset others. Especially in the internet age it's easy to forget that we are all accountable for what we say. On behalf of my self and 1nsomniac ask your niece to accept our humble apology. Game on.

Denial of what? These are only promotional images, not really even screen shots. Any way its looking good, would be nice to see more tho.

pyramidshead3771d ago (Edited 3771d ago )

one bubble trolls gotta troll about something I guess. lol

Neonridr3771d ago

they only get one shot at it right? :P

Gotta make it meaningful..

xICHIGOx3771d ago

Denial because they have the best multiplatform game on their system? Remember Ubisoft AC 4 then say again the word "denial"

kiz26943771d ago

Plus BF4 and COD Ghosts. Really don't see much denial at all? just believing.

MasterCornholio3771d ago

Its pretty much a given that Sony designed the PS4 to be a powerful gaming console so its normal that multiplats are superior on it.

Note multiplats compared to other consoles.

ThePope3771d ago

I've played both the PS4 and One versions on a 1 year old 60" Panny and I cant for the life of me see the difference. And if it takes some of the HUGE screenshots that I've seen to tell the difference, it might as well not exist.

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.

RaidenBlack993d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood992d ago (Edited 992d 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.

HankHill992d 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.

obidanshinobi992d 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.

LamerTamer992d 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.

gantarat992d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee992d 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?

RaidenBlack992d 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.

BlaqMagiq1992d ago

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

Profchaos992d 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.

BlaqMagiq1992d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn992d ago

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

smolinsk992d ago (Edited 992d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos992d ago (Edited 992d 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_toad992d 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.

LamerTamer992d 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.

TheSinsibleOne992d 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.

LamerTamer992d 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.

TheEnigma313992d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack992d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma313992d 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."

vallencer1057d ago

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

Pridefall1057d ago

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

mikefizzled11056d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921057d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1057d ago

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

Gameseeker_Frampt1056d 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.

WeAreLegion1057d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1057d 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.

ApocalypseShadow1057d 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.
