Watch Dogs 1080p on PS4, 960p on Xbox One (both 30 FPS). Up to 4K on PC.

Ubisoft have revealed during their Watch Dogs press conference that the game will run on the following resolutions and framerate for next gen systems.

Higher resolution and 1 hour of extra content, It's a no brainer

UnHoly_One3695d ago

For you maybe.

I'll take lower resolution to play with the far superior controller, better online service, and better twitch streaming.

To ME, that is a no brainer.

It's all opinion, bro.

Qrphe3695d ago

If you own both system yes

@unholy

>bro

I can smell the tears from over here

No_Limit3695d ago

I own both systems and it all depends on the online function. If this game has a killer online mode, then I'll buy it for XB1 because that is the pay service I have and I think it is superior to that of the PSN+. If it is like Assasssin's Creed 4 online mode, I'll pass on the online portion and get the PS4 version. It is nice that I can choose.

NeloAnjelo3695d ago

@unholy... Better twitch streaming? It just came, and it's only Twitch. PS4 can broadcast on PSN... More choice.

Better online... You mean it used to be. Service? PS+ beats it hands down.

Lower resolution? For $100 more?

Get real

PLASTICA-MAN3695d ago (Edited 3695d ago )

I read in an old Examiner article, that the devs clearly stated that the PS4 version could run at 60 FPS, but they wanted to maintain parity between all consoles.

But seriously, neither the resolution nor the FPS is the problem now, I think the game has been downgraded compared to the E3 reveal and the first PS4 demos because of the lowest common denominator in this new gen. Just watch the latest trailer.

Higher resolution and 1 hour of extra content, far superior controller, better online service for cheaper and with way more goodies and freebies, and better streaming with both Twitch and Ustream and all from a cheaper priced system with a company with a far stronger 1st party record. It's a no brainer. And mmm are your tears good Unholy one

Yup, no brainer... Going X1

PraxxtorCruel3695d ago

I know what I'm going for...PC. Have fun trailing behind and arguing.

dantesparda3695d ago

@unholy

Please explain to us how it has better streaming when PS4 can stream to both Twitch and Ustream, the only thing Twitch on X1 can do that PS4 doesnt is archive, but come on now, you know that'll just be patched in. Also, how Live is better? And better controller? really? Do you undrstand that subjective opinion is not fact?

HiddenMission3695d ago

@No_Limit

So a service that gives tons of free AAA blockbuster games is inferior to one that doesn't really offer anything compared to it's competitor...yeah okay...very subjective based opinion.

I'll take my superior service, superior controller, superior resolution on every title and my extra $100 any...

Just saying...my opinion k

T23695d ago

here come the obvious comments.. now again all of a sudden "sony lies" and resolution doesn't matter it's all about the lies.
"you can't just flick a switch to remove DRM"
ring a bell?

now the arguments turn to the obvious opinion based since no factual arguments will work once again...
"xbox controller is better"
"xbl online is better (5 year old argument and widespread fallacy) "
" i just don't like any of sonys [massive library of] games"

so salty, so expected, so hilarious.

RiPPn3695d ago (Edited 3695d ago )

@dantesparda: Silly Xbox fans still think Xbox live gives them a better connection even though most games they played on the 360 where the same peer to peer connections used on the PS3. But whatever makes them feel better. smh

osprey193695d ago

960p to 1080p? Ud need a magnifying glass and 50inch tv to notice any difference at all, first it was 720vs1080, then 900vs1080. Now 960vs1080. The gap is shrinking.

Locknuts3695d ago

Keep your extra content. I'd rather play at 60fps.

Why o why3695d ago

From 'resolutions dont matter' to 'Gaps closing'

You guys, make up your minds, you're all over the gaff..lol

UnHoly_One3695d ago

Nobody is crying. All of these "tears" comments are just showing your immaturity and fanboyism. Your incessant need to be "winning" this nonexistent competition.

I have a PS4. I have an XB1.

I have PS+. I have XBL Gold.

I can choose either version. It's strictly up to my opinion and preference.

starchild3695d ago

FFS guys, all this fighting...and for what? Both versions pale in comparison to the PC version at 60fps with high quality anti-aliasing and whatever other advantages it will have.

The difference between 960P and 1080p is very small compared to the advantages the PC version has over both console versions.

You guys fight over basically nothing.

fr0sty3695d ago

There are other factors that remain to be seen. Which version has the most stable frame rate? If XO hits 960p (which isn't "barely" less than 1080p just because it's a number not far from 1080... you also have to count in the number of vertical rows of pixels in the image that are being left out) but keeps a better frame rate, it'd be the preferred version. However, if (as in the case of games like Ryse and Tomb Raider) it drops down into the teens, skip it.

And this whole argument over Xbox having the better online service is kinda dated. I'm not seeing any feature one has that the other doesn't at this point, though PS4 does give you more and better games IMO, even if they are only there for the duration of your subscription.

Those saying they'll get it on PC, sure. Enjoy that slightly better AA or 60fps on a machine that cost 3 times as much as a PS4. Just at min. spec, you're already looking at a min. of a $600-800 machine. Then you have the fact that drivers for the particular video card you chose don't work as well with this game as drivers for that other company's video card do, so you'll take a performance hit there until they bother to patch it, if they do.

For every advantage PC gaming has, it also has a disadvantage.

Arguing over any of it is dumb in the end. Just play your games. You liking it doesn't make it better, them not liking it doesn't make it worse.

rdgneoz33695d ago

@Osprey "The gap is shrinking."

When the game is nerfed from the original reveal and the graphics are still only 960, their might be a problem.

Cueil3695d ago

SGodsend3695d ago

What is the 1 hour of extra content?

DOMination-3695d ago

Yes because ubisoft have such a great track record when it comes to pc ports. Didn't they only just patch black flag last week so that you could play it properly on high settings?

DevilOgreFish3695d ago

PC all the way, there's no point in bickering over resolutions when it's all at your finger tips. plus i don't have to repurchase it ever again once i change hardware.

Free "AAA Blockbuster" PS4 games on PS+ so far:

Outlast (year old budget steam game)
Don't Starve (year old budget steam game)
Contrast (newish budget steam game poorly reviewed)
Dead Nation Apocalypse Edition (port of old PS3 DL budget game)
Resogun (at least it's both good, and new! Kind of budget/arcadey though.)

Yup. No hyperbole at all in there.

Oh wait, you wanted older PS3 and Vita games to somehow count when assessing an online service for PS4? Well, if you have Flower, Flow and Soundshapes you will get a PS4 version as part of the cross buy program I guess. )

EditorAtGNG3695d ago

Exactly. 4k resolution + unlocked fps... PC all the way.

Unspoken3695d ago

This is true, a no brainer would be to buy this on the best platform possible: PC.

I keep hearing how powerful the PS4 is and how it is the superior gaming system to have but it can't maintain steady frame rate at native resolution. What happened to this console generation?

PC>PS4 forever and that will never ever change, no matter what any fanboy says. Facts are facts and the PC will always be better.

So glad I didn't waste $400 on a crap console and put that money into my PC.

morganfell3695d ago (Edited 3695d ago )

The downgrade isn't what people think. That gif everyone keeps reposting is one small section of the video. Here is what people are crowing about:

http://i.minus.com/iboqqHgy...

That is one small piece lasting a few seconds. And the lighting looks weird because the bridge is being selected and is being hacked. Look at the rest of the night run:

http://i.minus.com/ibtAnGuw...

And if you notice those are two different cars - look at the tail lights. They may actually be from two different builds - last gen vs current gen. The video jumps around a lot like it was pieced together. Either way, I am getting it for the PS4.

And look at other parts of the video: http://a.pomf.se/aoinlg.gif

http://a.pomf.se/unmccn.gif

http://i.minus.com/iAHxbvGb...

And joystiq's impressions confirmed on PS4 were quite positive: http://www.joystiq.com/2014...

And Arabicgamer remarked how the PS4 looked: http://www.thearabgamer.com... saying, " This game is absolutely stunning across the board with HD textures and beautifully rendered animations. For next gen systems, including PC’s, each rain drop will be an individual particular. This can be seen more clearly when using the focus mode or slow down feature."

Well, I guess X1's games resolutions are improving (or increasing) as time goes by.

As for me, PC version.

There were two future games that were confirmed by the devs to be 1080p on xb1 so I agree. I believe they were multi plats as well. That's what happens when the system is harder to dev for.

Seriously. Tired of hearing X1 vs PS4 cheerleaders claiming superiority when neither can achieve such a hallmark.
I don't care if PC even costs more. At least don't run like slideshows.

TV is dying a slow death everywhere only the USA still bothers watching the crap (in dying numbers) and.. surprise surprise.. also about the only country in the world interested in XBone. The future is the internet not frigging cable and the PS4 has got apps down pat. Get with it. Its not about snapping TV=== while playing a game!!! The masses have spoken xbones

Better twitch is this the new thing to say for fanboys? how so or you just mad ps4 users have been using it and ustream from launch. Better os/multitasking how so please explain.For me ps4 controller win hands down as it xbox controller has always been so uncomfortable for me to use seriously always give me hand cramp after short use and had to stretch my thumbs.So their is no best controller it depends on your hands.

Cueil3695d ago

@Koston while you are indeed right that the Twitch is an opinion I think that he's got a more then strong case on this one as for controller... I prefer my XB1 controller over my DS4 and as soon as a real DS4 controller comes out in the same make as a Xbox controller I'll quickly replace my current DS4. Also the XB1 does have better multi tasking... that is a FACT. It can run any application and a game at the same time. The PS4 does not boast this ability.

BitbyDeath3695d ago

'It can run any application and a game at the same time. The PS4 does not boast this ability.'

Yes it does. All you have to do is open an Application and hit the PS button, then open a game. Bam you have two things open at once.

I've even had 2 applications and a game running at the same time before. Have not stress tested any further yet though.

showtimefolks3695d ago

TRD4L1fe

better controller lol yeh right, almost every gaming site has agreed that Dual Shock 4 is the better controller

Twitch oh that service that we have been enjoying since launch?

better OS no way in hell. MS designed this OS for kinect so its crappy and like windows 8 which also sucks.

get real man ps4 will sell 12-15 million by year's end. Its only gonna improve with more games so keep thinking of way to hate on ps4, all its gonna do is dominate like PS2 did

I have to wonder something ,but from the latest footage its more than obvious that the game has been downgrade in the graphics departemant!I dont know from what platform this last trailer is taken off but the graphics have taken a downgrade when compared with what they shown months ago has the PS4 VERSION!I hope that this 30fps are steady lock and not 30 fps with dips on new gen systems,especially seeing that the overall graphics,effects and etc.. have been downgraded.And frankly regarding resolutions and framerates better a full lock 30fps at 960p that 1080p with 30fps with dips below that.I guess im paying to see what will be the more stable of the next generation console versions.

Oh? Did it happen with first party exclusive games like Killzone: Shadow Fall single player (1080P 30 fps) and inFamous: 2nd Son (1080P 30 fsp) too? How about Knack? (1080P unstable 30-ish fps)

Unspoken3695d ago

No more greatness...how quick we noticed the PS4 just could not keep up in the high end anymore.

Frame rate took the biggest hit along with some lighting, texture, and shadow detail. 30fps it is then. No more buttery smooth, more like coarse grits.

Funny how the Xbox is improving over time and the PS4 is losing its potential over time.

solar3695d ago (Edited 3695d ago )

1080p at 30fps is nothing to brag about. every game for both next gen consoles should run at 1080p/60pfs. it is tech that has been around since before last gen.

serratos273695d ago (Edited 3695d ago )

This is my argument as well. I understand WHY people bring up resolution but since last year were we not expecting 1080p/60fps for all games on PS4?? Why is this still relevant? Only to talk down the XB1? When I see a headline such as this it baffles me! We all know what to expect from BOTH consoles.

PygmelionHunter3695d ago

Couldn't they just lower the resolution on PS4 to make it run at 60FPS? I mean, on the Xbox One I understand because draw distances might be affected if it goes below something like 900p, kind of what happened with Battlefield 4, but from 900p to 1080p there's not really THAT much of a difference, what makes a true difference in action games is the bump in frame rate to 60FPS... I'll take that any day over 1080p.

tee_bag2423695d ago

Exactly. 30 FPS is criminal.

ITPython3695d ago

960p on XB1 and 1080p on PS4, with both running at 30fps? No way the PS4 can only do 30fps when the resolution of both consoles is that close.

Seems to me MS was able to buy partial parity on this game, and if I find out that this is the case, I am most definitely not going to buy this game new so that the publisher/devs/whoever don't see a dime of my money.

I think we can safely assume that this is in fact a parity thing, unless we find out that the XB1 version is gimped in other ways, like AA, texture-res and other things. But if both games have the same specs, except resolution, then we will know 100% that the PS4 version was gimped.

It sickens me to think that this parity BS is probably going to get worse as the generation continues. MS wants people to think that the tiny improvements via an updated SDK, or otherwise, will somehow make their console super powerful... when in fact it only looks that way because the PS4 versions are being intentionally gimped due to MS throwing tons of money at the right people.

This is why MS needs to GTFO. It's one thing if they release a sub-par console and people purchase the console knowing that fact, but it's another to ruin the experience for people who own the more powerful console by paying for parity.

LexHazard793695d ago

Dude you suck!! So its 1080p/30fps because MS paid Ubisoft. Seems to me thats all they could get out the PS4 at that resolution. You have the better version out of both and your still mad. I notice fanboys always say dumb shit to start a wars. No different than what you just did!

Sevir3695d ago

These are first gen next gen titles that are tailored to scale per platform, since it's a cross gen release it speaks wonders that this is what they got with only a year of development on these platforms who's specs became final late August 2013... Give it a rest! The delay benefited the game! MGS5 is open world and it's 1080p at 60fps on PS4 with realtime dynamic weather,global Illumination dynamic lighting, smoother particle effects and time.

The PS4 is capable, time with the machine and proper optimizations will bring out the best...

None the less, it's good Ubisoft came out and said it and I'm glad the devs aren't buying into platform parity, they've taken the tools and have made each machine sing to there most stable performance!

PS4 > XBO the END!!!

Because some games have been announced higher resolution than some of the games that came out in the mere first four months? And the logical conclusion is that the SDK did that? How poorly done would the original SDK have had to have been in order for that to be the case?

Actually there is a 28" 4k DELL monitor coming on march 17th for $700.

http://www.amazon.com/Ultra...

Its a TN panel and it can only do 60hz via displayport, but it bodes well for the future. Lets hope it wont be too long before we see affordable 4k/IPS/100hz panels..

Stapleface3696d ago

@Lakerman, Dell makes great monitors too. Your right, it won't be long, they will get better and cheaper. I'm not worried about 4k myself, the next monitor I'm buying is a 1440p G-sync when they come out. No more worry about refresh rate as that will change with what ever is being displayed.

Lakerman3696d ago

Sounds good, I think g-sync will be a big gamechanger. My plan is to wait until you can buy a 27-30" 4k IPS panel with g-sync for about $1500 or less and then buy a really good gaming pc at the same time. I guess that will be about 12-18 months from now. Havent been gaming on PC for almost 10 years, looking forward to it a lot because of 4k and g-sync :)

esemce3695d ago (Edited 3695d ago )

Yep Im ok with 1080p+ and 60+fps on PC, 4k games are not really worth it yet.

Ah and the poor weedy Xbone can't run this at 1080p 30fps that's just pathetic for a console that is going to be on the market for the next 5-8 years.

So glad I cancelled my Xbone pre order and kept the PS4.

solar3695d ago

you pay for being a gaming enthusiast. you settle when you game on consoles. not knocking console gamers with that true statement.

ABizzel13695d ago

@Stapleface

Most PC gamers don't have high end rigs, they have low or mid rigs, and even a high end rig is shaky running games in 4k resolutions, and generally require two high end cards in SLI / Xfire or as you said a 7990 or 690. So yeah it can be expensive to most consumers.

Then having to buy the monitor as well. Most of the people on here are likely teenagers / college aged, and your average teenager or college student doesn't have $1000+ to spend on gaming in 4k.

@Lakerman

You'll probably be better off waiting for another 2 - 3 years. Larger 4k G-sync monitors should definitely be out by then and priced reasonably, and NVIDA Volta or the refresh should be out as well, which is rumored to be the first true 4k single GPU allowing you to max out the majority of 4k games on a single graphics card, so SIL two of those, and you should be good for a looooooooooooooooooooong time :D

webeblazing3695d ago

seem thats all people can do to downplay it, is say the price for the gfx card and that they cant afford it. instead of embracing things that always come first to a platform they downplay, then praise it once its on their console.

I'd cap it at 60 fps. I hate fluctuating framerates (e.g.: dropping from 100 to 60 is destroying my immersion)

If your system is capable you could cap it at 120 fps (don't know how taxing Watch Dogs will be)

Letros3695d ago

@TheGrimReasper

No need to cap FPS with G-sync.

starchild3695d ago

Yeah, without G-sync you will get stutter at any framerate that isn't a factor of your refresh rate (i.e. 30fps, 60fps, 120fps). But with G-sync framerates between 60fps and 120fps can be enjoyed without stutter/judder.

I'll definitely be getting a G-sync monitor later this year or early next.

FlyingFoxy3695d ago (Edited 3695d ago )

4k is a waste of time, you'd be upgrading every 2 years and need 2 cards minimum to get good fps.

1080p 60/120hz and a single high end card for me.

Theres a new 1440p 120hz sceen coming soon which is kinda affordable, has 120hz and g-sync. Rather get that than 4k, at least with 120hz there's no downgrade in visuals if you can't hit 120fps, while 1080p or 1440p would look like crap on a 4k screen. LCD's are good if you stick to their native res. But they are still a step back compared to CRT since you always gotta stick to native res to maintain a HQ image.

4k would force you to stay at that res, so if you get crap fps you are stuck with it, or make the image look like ass by going below native res. No thanks.

I agree, flying foxy, CRT monitors are the way to go if you're a serious gamer. unfortunately I had to get rid of my old Viewsonic CRT due to space constraints, but I always enjoyed it's fast response time and various native resolutions. The only real downsides are size, weight and limits on maximum resolution.

MidnytRain3695d ago

2 cards? The benchmarks I've seen so far for the 780ti can run games at 4k with good frame rates at ultra presets.

Not really surprise at all

gillri3696d ago

PS4 for me, I shudder to think how much I need to spedn to get 4K on PC, plus I hate playing where I work anyway

ginsunuva3696d ago (Edited 3696d ago )

Even though I admit have a modest (nothing amazing) pc AND a ps4, you don't need to make sour-grape excuses. It's an unhealthy habit I used to do when I was young that I regret since it made me look like an obvious idiot.

Christopher3695d ago

Actually, his reason is exactly why I've moved to consoles as well. I work from home and I need to get away from my desk as often as possible or I end up just working all day long. Moving things around helped. Heck, even just putting a console on my desk and connecting it to another monitor helped.

It's not really a sour grape excuse so much as trying to prevent a lifestyle of work work work. Change of environment helps one's attitude a lot sometimes.

Anyway, that's just me. And I still game on PC and console about 50/50. I still haven't gotten over my habit of working as I start a PC game and end up keeping it paused 75% of the time while I do work. So, not working well on my whole thing, but that's still the goal. Stop working too much.

BABY-JEDI3695d ago

Well. Some things never change... LoL
; D

T23695d ago

how is this sour grapes? I work on a computer everywhere I go for work and I don't even own a pc at home, just do not even care. i do my home stuff on my smartphone and game on consoles. They're cheap, convenient and i love my tv with yamaha dolby digital dts.... nothing sour grapes about it, it's a fact.

ABizzel13695d ago

@cgoodno

You should build an office PC, and a gaming PC away from your office. I work from home too (although I'm usually traveling 90% of the time), and I have my "office PC" which has a bare minimal GPU in it just in case. And I also have my gaming PC which is in my entertainment room so I have to get up and leave to another room.

It works for me at least.

Christopher3695d ago

My Office PC requires expensive components and is expensive enough as it is. There's also not another room for me. Our townhome gets hot so desktop PCs with gaming equipment go in the basement where my basement and our entertainment center are located. So, I'd be walking 10' to another gaming rig that my wife would kill me over since she doesn't want something like that next to our fireplace or the stand we use for our entertainment devices. I already get in trouble with all my gaming peripherals taking up storage space.

I'm happy with the consoles. I talk about technical comparisons between similar consoles, but I'm fine with quality games on last gen or current gen consoles. That and I tend to not buy most games until they hit $20 anyway.

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.

RaidenBlack995d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood994d ago (Edited 994d 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.

HankHill994d 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.

obidanshinobi994d 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.

LamerTamer994d 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.

gantarat995d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee995d 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?

RaidenBlack994d 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.

BlaqMagiq1994d ago

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

Profchaos995d 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.

BlaqMagiq1994d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn994d ago

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

smolinsk995d ago (Edited 995d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos995d ago (Edited 995d 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_toad994d 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.

LamerTamer994d 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.

TheSinsibleOne995d 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.

LamerTamer994d 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.

TheEnigma313995d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack994d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma313994d 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."

vallencer1059d ago

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

Pridefall1059d ago

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

mikefizzled11058d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921059d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1059d ago

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

Gameseeker_Frampt1059d 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.

WeAreLegion1059d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1059d 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.

ApocalypseShadow1059d 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.
