'Watch Dogs' on PS4 will define next-gen gaming in its mature phase, says Sony

Watch Dogs has been touted as a game that will define what next-generation gaming is, and Sony echoed that sentiment further when they talked about how this game will end up representing what's to come on the PS4.

PlayStation UK Managing Director Fergal Gara recently talked about two games that are expected to define next-generation gaming and how Sony made sure to partner up with both of them.

yes....perhapsssssssss*dose fancy face*

BALLBAGS3759d ago

so it will define Xbox One aswell?

I don't get companies bigging up multiplat games like it's exclusive

Bathyj3759d ago

I prefer them talking about a title they're genuinely excited about rather than going on about mediocre titles just because they're exclusive.

nveenio3759d ago

@BALLBAGS

Read the article, and you'll see that the author took liberties with what the Sony rep said. (And also did a poor job of quoting in text.) Don't get bent out with Sony for something the press twisted into a story.

Chrischi19883759d ago (Edited 3759d ago )

But then, PS4 will offer the nicest graphics of Watchdogs, but the best gameplay will be on Wii U.

Thought Wii U is no next gen console, but get THE GAME, that Sony calls the true NEXT GEN GAME.

frostypants3759d ago

@Chrischi1988, so? BF4 came out on the PS3 and 360. Does that mean it's the same experience as on the PS4 and One? Yeah, I know, bad example...they're all just looking at different error screens. But you know what I mean.

ambientFLIER3759d ago

Chrischi1988 -

Nicest graphics for Watch Dogs on the PS4? Isn't this game coming out on PC as well??? Lol.

zag3759d ago

Yes comes out on pc but this game is in its 2nd or 3rd delay for not being ready, so im just waiting to pick it up day 1 and see what happens thereafter.

I get tge impression this game will be a great idea but badly executed type game.

Have to wait till feb to see anything.

so watch dogs on X1 will define next gen not on PS4

GamerXD3759d ago

Try harder troll. Anyway I love X1's Sub-HD resolution for AC4, BF4 and COD

GarrusVakarian3759d ago (Edited 3759d ago )

I remember that article and its deceptive headline. What it was actually saying if you take the time to read it carefully is that compared to last gen, Watchdogs on the X1 will be superior, the title makes it seem like it was saying compared to PS4 too....when i wasn't. Anything the X1 can do in-game, the PS4 can match with ease. I wonder if Ubi will aim for parity or use the PS4 power advantage like most other multiplats have.

Funny that you got an article from 177 days ago to try and prove a point, and you're still wrong.

hazardman3759d ago

@GamerXD and I love how you think 720p is sub HD.
But I know what you mean.

bornsinner3759d ago

wonder how the ps4 will handle their standard p2p system.. the entire world ends when the host leaves to play knack LOL

ragincrinz3759d ago

I read this, it sounds like xbox one would be better as the console wont have to run everything so the graphics and game play can be upped of that on ps4

pyramidshead3759d ago

I'm surprised you didn't link the article to the bullshots of 'pictures of Watch Dogson Xbox One' which were actually promotional screens lol.

Remember this is multiplatform so I imagine XB1 will be at a lower resolution or missing effects.

UnHoly_One3759d ago

Yes that article is positive about the XB1 so of course everyone here thinks it is bogus.

You people.... Wow.

He clearly says the city can be more dynamic on the XB1. Dream all you want about him meaning something else, but you are incorrect.

ambientFLIER3759d ago

He also thinks that 900P is sub-hd as well...

MestreRothN4G3759d ago (Edited 3759d ago )

Not even maybe.

I'll probably get it on PS4, but no doubt it is more like "will define cross-gen titles".

True next gen games can't fit in 256 or 512 MB machines, and they won't only be the same previous gen game with a few gimmicks and better textures.

webeblazing3759d ago

what is this so called true next gen? only thing that i see that is different are the gfx

starfox0793759d ago

Yes CAPITALS,WIIU WILL HAVE GAMES OUT NEXT YEAR THAT DESTROY WATCHDOGS.....THATS THAT,SONY ARE SAD IF A MULTIPLAT GAME IS THE BEST PS4 CAN ACHIEVE.....

You play these multiplat games then throw them away simple,now games like

COD BO3
MARIOKART8
HALO
SMASHBROS
ZELDA
X
BAYONETTA2

ect will destroy Watchdogs in sales and hardcore Online play...except maybe Zelda....as thats the best single player adventure of all time so not really MP focused but to say Watchdogs is the pinnacle on ps4 wow..

Yes Sony will pay Ubisoft to make ps4 version look superior but that doesn't prove ps4 has best graphics ???

WiiU has edram on everything gpgpu/cpu/cache/ect.
ps4 has tons of system RAM but very moderate chip RAM.
Xbox1 has better chip RAM then ps4 not WiiU but a worse gpu than both ps4 and WiiU.

MestreRothN4G3759d ago (Edited 3759d ago )

Starfox, first of all, try to keep calm next time. We know sometimes a fanboy's mind works strangely, but with some effort, maybe rational thinking can have a brief chance.

That being said, if we consider the prediction of 6 millions sales for Watch Dogs and the recent estimator of 4.3 WiiU sold worldwide (sources are IGN and MyNintendo), well, it's a little hard that those exclusives will 'crush' the blockbuster's sales anytime soon.

Just look at the most recent Super Mario sales NUMBERS to see how the biggest Nintendo franchise is going (there's a today's article about the groundbreaking one million units). Imagine the lesser ones.

You really need to step back into reality if you wish to argue about the gaming market here...

One tip: if you want to be a Nintendo fanboy, you can't talk about great games quantity or commercial success. You should be yelling about FUUUUUN and Metacritic critic score.

harrisk9543759d ago

@BALLBAGS... read the article... Sony is going to be the console most aligned with Destiny and Watchdogs, similar to the XB360's relationship with CoD and the XB1's relationship with Titanfall, as only the first game in the series will be exclusive to MS.

"Two titles which will define what next generation gaming will look in its mature phase will be Watch Dogs and Destiny.

"These are two games we have aligned with closely and will have substantial exclusive PlayStation 4 content," Gara said.

"Sony revealed how much exclusivity they will have with these two titles back at E3 this summer. They no doubt will have other exclusive content coming from additional games, but Destiny and Watch Dogs are two impressive titles to align with."

TheXgamerLive3759d ago

Hahaha what Sony meant to say was The PS4 and Xbox One or Current gen versions of Watch Digs will define etc....enough of the mine mine mine its a multiplat game. It will define nothing but should be a good play though.

showtimefolks3759d ago

if this along with drive club launched i would have gotten a ps4, but now i guess i will buy it with infamous 2nd son

I hope the delay helps both watch dogs and drive club become much better games

Aleithian3759d ago

Haha! Bubble for the beautiful response.

lol so I guess Killzone SF doesn't, says Sony

Sammy7773759d ago

how foolish? This means that the game might be running at a higher resolution on ps4

KrisButtar3760d ago

This game is why I went next gen and pre-ordered a console. All the other games were just a bonus and never gave me the OMG feel.

liquidhalos3759d ago

For me its The Division. I cant wait to play that, i just hope im able to get some solid gamers together for that one

Maxor3759d ago

What is it about this title that define nextgen??

XiSasukeUchiha3760d ago

Watch dogs is definitely going to be amazing that sure

wishingW3L3759d ago

Watch Dogs looks like nothing special really.

NatureOfLogic3759d ago

I have to agree. I don't really get the hype for this game.

caseh3759d ago

Another horse for Ubisoft to flog.

Build the hype, get 10/10 reviews across the board, release about 6 sequels before the next gen of consoles comes about.

Ashby_JC3759d ago

I agreed. I have seen footage. But I'm interested to know more about it before I add it to my buy list.

I am interested...But at the moment there are other games that have showed me more.

frostypants3759d ago (Edited 3759d ago )

It has potential. The problem with too many open world games is they focus too much on breadth and not enough on depth. Look at GTA V: people hype it so hard, but once you get passed the immense size of it, it is about as deep as a puddle. There's almost no interactivity. It's like driving around a cardboard city, with a few cheap mini-games tossed in to hide the fact. Games like Watch Dogs look more interesting to me, but we'll see.

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.

LucasRuinedChildhood993d ago (Edited 993d 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.

HankHill993d 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.

obidanshinobi993d 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.

gantarat993d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee993d 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?

RaidenBlack993d 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.

Profchaos993d 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

smolinsk993d ago (Edited 993d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos993d ago (Edited 993d 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_toad993d 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.

TheSinsibleOne993d 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.

TheEnigma313993d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack993d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma313993d 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.

mikefizzled11057d 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_Frampt1057d 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.
