GTA IV is still considered one of the best looking open-world games on the PC (thanks to all the graphical mods that have been released these past years). Therefore, it’s only natural to expect a comparison between Rockstar’s old title and Ubisoft’s Watch_Dogs.
As we have all been graced by the release of Grand Theft Auto 6's trailer, we're ranking the best and worst GTA trailers to date.
We be getting these posts All week now lads. Someone noticed a number plate ... Someone noticed a billboard... I can see it now
Just go on YouTube and watch one of the many videos dissecting the whole 1minite 30secs worth.
This site supposed to be for news.
These updates on N4G are going to ruin whats rest of this site. Unfortunate since I was one of the first members.. The site shows unsecure when i login as well.
If you are looking for a bargain, check out the huge discounts across the entire WatchDogs series on Steam.
Grand Theft Auto 4 is an important game for Rockstar, not least because it was the first title in the franchise to use the newly created RAGE engine.
Saw this comparison earlier, and I facepalmed. It nitpicks on a few elements that contribute to creating the false narrative that GTAIV somehow looks better than watch_dogs, and completely ignores the big picture, which is that Watch_Dogs completely trashes GTAIV in terms of overall picture quality, not to mention the fact that it has tons more things going on in the world around the player.
Hate to see the comparison between GTA V!
I'd still rather play GTA4 than Watch Dogs. I'm completely going to skip WD because the driving just ruins it for me. Same as Sleeping Dogs and Saints Row.
Why can't developers look up to GTA4 and Mafia 2?
What I've always loved about Rockstar is that they put so much to do on the "map" and then you can also just wander around the environment and there's all these tiny little interactions and details that aren't listed which just makes the game such a fun open world to explore. You don't need a point A and B to discover, learn or complete things.
Ubisoft doesn't really do that in their games, as well as a lot of open world titles. I mean sure there is a tonne of things to do, but it's all "on the map", and it feels more like a checklist rather than a fluid experience where you can explore and just d**k around in a sandbox world discovering something and saying 'hey that's cool!'
With that said, Watch Dogs is so freaking awesome. I've had such a good time playing it so far. Visuals and gameplay are awesome! It just goes to show that multiplat games are going to be and play beyond anything exclusive games looked like last gen.
Watch dogs (ps4,pc,x1) has better graphics than any GTA ever made
