Creative Director of Watch Dogs Reassures Fans That The Game Looks Better Than The Aisha Trailer

DSOGaming writes: "Yesterday, we posted a new trailer from Watch Dogs. If you've already watched it, then you'll be definitely wondering why that trailer looked so awful. Our guess was that the game was captured from the current-gen (PS3/X360) version of the game, and that the PC/PS4/Xbox One versions would look way better. Although we don't know about the visual state of the current-gen version, the creative director of Watch Dogs decided to break his silence and reassure fans that the game will look way better than the Aisha Tyler trailer."

i really don't understand that trailer. it looked really amateurish in the way the camera angles changes .etc

CaptainYesterday3920d ago

It looked like they let one of the interns make the trailer or something it wasn't great.

itspeaks3920d ago

I honestly think that you are spot on. It looks like the quality we saw from GTA 3 previews back in the day, and if you think about it an intern with less experience would create work which looks dated and less professional if only because those techniques are simpler. We have to remember, this was likely captured in engine and the process for doing so requires the user to utilize the complicated software programs properly to capture "gameplay." I can see no other explanation.

ShinMaster3919d ago

The pacing and camera made it look as if it was something fan-made.

skept3k3920d ago

I said the same thing in a different post. It doesn't make sense they would make a trailer using an inferior version of the game.

Then you look at the content and how it was produce, it looks really bad, amatuer at best.

1nsomniac3920d ago

I didn't understand it either, in fact I still believe it was an amateur made video using a GTA IV mod.

Not a single thing about it indicates its anything official, it's just soo bad!!

MiasmaDodo3920d ago

if people are upset because the PS3 version looks worse then the PS4 version; they need to check their brain

makes total sense to me

HammadTheBeast3920d ago

People are upset because it looks bad even for current Gen. If you look at the likes of GTA IV/V, or even Saints Row 3/4, or Infamous, you'd see that he graphics re much better than this.

I have no clue why they'd make a trailer this ugly to promote their game, it gives the impression that current Gen versions of the game will b half-assed.

1nsomniac3920d ago

I dont think anyone doesn't realise that at all. What they dont understand is the 16Bit textured.bmp faces & the decade old archaic stick animations.

MiasmaDodo3920d ago

maybe they want the Next Gen version (which cost more to make) to sell more?

ever thought about that?

1nsomniac3920d ago (Edited 3920d ago )

Very good point, although it doesn't cost more to make at all, its just got an increase retail sales value that's a win-win situation for them but a lose-lose situation for us customers.

SIRHC133920d ago

I hate Aisha Tyler. So much. She ruined two Ubi E3 Press Conferences to date. In fact, I think Mr. Caffeine has more talent.

Yeah, I went there.

WeAreLegion3920d ago

I completely agree. Mr. Caffeine was more cringeworthy than Aisha, but I think that's why I love him. He's hilarious is the most unintentional way. ^_^

Aisha was just difficult to listen to.

CaptainYesterday3920d ago

I don't think she ruined the the ubisoft press conferences but she didn't really make them better whenever she was on it was very cringe worthy.

FarCryLover1823920d ago

She's a decent host, but most of her jokes failed to make me laugh. I just felt awkward after hearing them.

CrossingEden3920d ago

She's actually pretty funny and honest, so you need to calm down -_-

Nevers0ft3920d ago

I can't say I'm too thrilled with her as a host, but I'm fine with simply muting the audio and watching her... She's hawt!

The Dark Side Of Gaming for some reason didn´t include the part of the statement where he even say that the 360/ps3 version looks better than this trailer, this trailer footage was taken from a PC with the wrong textures, lighting and frame rate

iBlackyi3920d ago

But why? How can someone be that stupid.

Agent_hitman3920d ago

It's amusin that t Watchdog visual is still compatible in current gen hardwares, cant wait o play this game.. On PS3 of course..

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.

RaidenBlack1001d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1000d ago (Edited 1000d 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.

HankHill1000d 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.

obidanshinobi1000d 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.

LamerTamer1000d 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.

gantarat1001d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee1001d 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?

RaidenBlack1000d 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.

BlaqMagiq11000d ago

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

Profchaos1001d 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.

BlaqMagiq11000d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn1000d ago

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

smolinsk1001d ago (Edited 1001d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos1001d ago (Edited 1001d 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_toad1000d 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.

LamerTamer1000d 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.

TheSinsibleOne1001d 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.

LamerTamer1000d 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.

TheEnigma3131001d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack1000d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma3131000d 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."

vallencer1065d ago

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

Pridefall1065d ago

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

mikefizzled11064d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921065d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1065d ago

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

Gameseeker_Frampt1065d 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.

WeAreLegion1065d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1065d 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.

ApocalypseShadow1065d 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.
