The gameplay looked awesome, a little screen tearing but nonetheless, it looks fantastic.

Skip_Bayless4079d ago

Looks amazing for a multiplat

Enemy4079d ago

Looks like the tearing is coming from the video feed, actually.

3-4-54079d ago

yea I watched the video feed from multiple sources and they were all of different quality, the best was from GameInformer.

SnotyTheRocket4079d ago

Yeah, saw a direct feed on youtube, and damn, it looks good.

KUV19774079d ago

The demo ran from a PC, so it isn't really representative for the final game. Even if it was running on a PS4 it wouldn't say much. There are still a couple of months left.

Godchild10204079d ago

What makes ou think it was running on a PC? I don't think they have the dualshock 4 compatible with PCs yet. Anyway, no matter what it was running on, it looked great.

SnotyTheRocket4079d ago

It ran from a PS4. You can see the console UI, like the square and triangle.

KUV19774079d ago

The guy who demoed it confirmed it was running on a PS4-like-specced PC. I don't think it's a biggie, but I thought I post it in a civil mannor before the haters gonna start a flame-war.

iamgoatman4079d ago

Saw the guy from Ubisoft mention it was running on a PC as well, just to confirm.

Sevir4079d ago

The trailer ended with the PS3 logo! the texures werent as high as say Killzone:Shadow Fall.

KUV19774079d ago (Edited 4079d ago )

If you think the PS3 can output this graphic you are delusional.

How official do you want it? Check out the GameTrailers Post-Show-Event and see the same guy who demoed it on stage confirm that it ran on a PC with similar specs than the PS4 will be. It's not like the PC isn't able to display PlayStation-Icons.

TitanUp4079d ago

gametrailers had an interview with one of the developers after the show and the guy said it was running from a pc with ps4 specs.

popup4078d ago

I imagine it was running on a PC that ran PS4 fidelity (with higher specs) but not PS4 spec as the overheads on the PC would see the same spec crippled.

Am I the only one who wanted to punch the presenter? At least tell him to shut up and get on with it.

majiebeast4079d ago (Edited 4079d ago )

No but i did wanna murder the square enix/final fantasy branch manager.

Godmars2904079d ago

They've been dead to me for a while...

Grap4079d ago

yah me to lol. let's team up in front of his house.

r214079d ago

They didnt announce anything new. They just showed the luminous tech demo in English running on PS4. I wanted some new game or something. At least theres gonna be a reveal of some sort for ps4 during E3.

SolidStoner4079d ago

lol, but that second guy at start made my day... lead ps4 system arhitect or something, the way he was telling that story was like he was living in a garden full of flowers and pillows, smoking pot and relaxing, and all life around us is a beautiful dream... anyway.. "tooo much information, just shut up and show it all already!!" :) great games overall, and ps4 controller looked nice!

Hello, we are making a new Final Fantasy. Bye!

Link0794079d ago

I would still put X on WiiU as above this graphically though mainly due to its more fantasy art style and huge worlds not to mention on that X trailer the draw distance is ridiculously far you can see birds flying around waterfalls ect in the distance it's just impressive but Watchdogs teaches GTA5 how to do modern open world graphics,GTA5 looks cell shaded in comparison.

Mykky4078d ago

I agree with you. X looked better than Watch Dogs in my opinion. I'm sure PS4 can look pretty sick when it is fully optimized. Deep Down almost looked like CGI graphics in real time.

2pacalypsenow4079d ago

I know what im getting launch day

stage884079d ago

This will be a great PS4 game!

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.

RaidenBlack999d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood999d ago (Edited 999d 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.

HankHill999d 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.

obidanshinobi999d 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.

LamerTamer999d 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.

gantarat999d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee999d 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?

RaidenBlack999d 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.

BlaqMagiq1999d ago

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

Profchaos999d 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.

BlaqMagiq1999d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn999d ago

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

smolinsk999d ago (Edited 999d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos999d ago (Edited 999d 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_toad999d 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.

LamerTamer999d 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.

TheSinsibleOne999d 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.

LamerTamer999d 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.

TheEnigma313999d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack999d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma313999d 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."

vallencer1064d ago

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

Pridefall1064d ago

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

mikefizzled11063d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921064d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1064d ago

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

Gameseeker_Frampt1063d 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.

WeAreLegion1064d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1064d 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.

ApocalypseShadow1064d 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.
