For those wondering, PC footage. Notice the PC at the bottom left of the video (also running on a single GPU).

monochromer3660d ago

Wow, now I regret preordering this on the efficient PS4! These marginal graphic differences are really worth all the trouble of PC gaming, and I never knew!

No.

Psychotica3660d ago

Well if it was for only a single game it wouldn't be worth it but since it's for just about every PC vs console comparison there is then it might be worth it. Of course it's not just the visuals, it's also the performance, if it's laggy or not.

lets_go_gunners3660d ago

Marginal.....so 60+fps is marginally better than 30?

3660d ago
CoLD FiRE3660d ago

@lets_go_gunners It's marginal when we're talking PC vs Consoles but when it's PS4 vs X1 every little bit of difference counts. That's console fanboys logic!

badboy7763660d ago

PS4 has the advantage With DLC.

esemce3660d ago

Marginal ? 1440p @ 60fps with the possibility of 4k and mods etc vs <1080p 30fps and no mods.

Don't fool yourself, there is a reason some graphics cards cost more than PS4/Xbone.

Really badboy776? PS4 has a DLC advantage for Watch Dogs!?

Enjoy your downgraded, lower resolution games at less than 60 FPS then.

120hz says high.

MadLad3660d ago

"marginal"; "rather evident".

What are words, anyway?

n4rc3660d ago

Blah... I have a new PC.. Built like a champ with a decent gfx card..

Yet I simply can't be bothered to play any game on it really.. Sad as it may be, achievements are the main reason for that.. Lol

Ignored them for years.. Just blew threw most games and got what I got.. Then I started caring as friends can kinda compete to get them all first or whatever..

So really.. I have a PC to game on.. And I know first hand how much better PC games can run.. Yet still do all my gaming on my xbox

duplissi3660d ago

Love the passive aggressive tone here, feel the need to justify your purchase? Just stop.

N4g_null3659d ago

Thanks monochrome now I have no reason to buy it for the ps4. Look at all the dlc coming to the pc with a possible 4k upgrade when I finally get my 4k tv. Possible mods and the ability to make mods is going to be fun. 64 gigs of ram is $300 pretty much i7 and your card of choice and you can get in on making gaming graphics too! Why ask for something when you can make it?

Actually this was confirmed to be running on a PS4 dev kit.

starchild3660d ago

Why do people care so much about what it was running on? The quality of the video is too low to notice any differences anyway. The PC, PS4 and Xbox One versions would all look basically the same in a low quality video like this.

3660d ago
extermin8or3659d ago

@BeathuberCH because the game hasn't gone gold yet... @starchild because of the PC only fags that were going on about "how much better it looked" in this video as it was pc footage when ofc n one can tell.

Jaambi3659d ago (Edited 3659d ago )

I'm so glad that i pre-ordered this for PC with the latest trailer showing of the magnificent graphics on it!
46 days left guys!

Gr1mmyshadows3660d ago

you say it as if there is a massive difference in graphics between systems.

The game is going to look beautiful, even on the WiiU

sander97023660d ago (Edited 3660d ago )

I never said it would look bad on the other machines I just prefer the PC version that's all! :)

JP13693660d ago

The visual difference is significant and it does it at twice the frame rate.

duplissi3660d ago

I'm glad he mentioned the console versions... oh wait....

Benjaminkno3659d ago

It's all about "GAMEPLAY"...

I'm inclined to believe the WiiU version will outshine all others.
They've got one of the best development teams in Europe. The're going to do it justice. I'm glad they're not competing with MarioKart 8. WiiU is going to have an even better year than the last.

christrules00413659d ago

@Benjaminko
If it's all about the gameplay wouldn't you want a higher frame rate then? How then will the Wii U version outshine the PC version?

Im going for ps4. I only have ge force gtx 680 , 8 gb ram and i5 320ghz. I want a good fps and not so laggy. And i Think ps4 is not that bad.

Xdone3660d ago (Edited 3660d ago )

"I only have ge force gtx 680 , 8 gb ram and i5 320ghz."

You've got an amazing rig mate =)

Meltic (below)

I certainly thinks so meltic :) that gtx 680 is a great card.

Meltic3660d ago

is it enough for high on WD on pc :O ?

Amiroo3660d ago

"is it enough for high on WD on pc ? "
more than enough. you can max the hell out of it with 4xTXAA and stuff or safer: 2xTXAA and 60fps on 1080p or even more. don't worry PS4's exclusive contents are also avaliable on pc too on day one. guess what ? it's 45$ on steam

Meltic3660d ago

Thanks for all replys. I want to try out the 4xTXAA and the HBAO. See how Beautiful it is. Yeah i will preorder it now on steam :):)

aliengmr3660d ago

$45 on Steam? Are you sure? Because it clearly says $59.99 usd. Do you mean euros?

Just explain the price, if you could.

extermin8or3659d ago

Ummm are you sure I'm 100% certain that watch dog' reccomended specs are higher than that.... CPU wise for sure... and recommended specs isn't usually even high/max....

Amiroo3659d ago

@aliengmr
sorry, i meant 55.99$ yeah, now it jumps to 59.99$. i bought it at 55$

@extermin8or
sometimes the recommended spect are just too much, but i'm sure he will be fine

I have a gtx 670 FTW, 16GB ram, i5 etc etc and I am getting it for my PC even though I have a PS4 as well.

trancefreak3660d ago (Edited 3660d ago )

Nice! I don't understand why some people complain when you own a nice PC RIG, and decide not to buy it for your console; We get ridiculed by making the statement of where the purchase goes.

A lot of people have nice PC's and consoles and it's about preference. I will buy on the PC if it is a better experience period. My GTX 680 is 2 years old and still thumping games.

extermin8or3659d ago

@trancfreak The question could be asked why someone with a good PC gets even more shit lobbed at them if they say they want to get a game on consoles instead. IT'S THEIR CHOICE. Personally I hope some of the people on this thread being dicks find the game unplayble when they get the game regardless of what they own it on, maybe find out a batch of the discs were keyed/downloads corrupted and it mysteriously only effected them....

christrules00413659d ago

The big benefit of getting on pc over the ps4 is when we do upgrade our rigs if we loved a game we couldn't max out we can go back and crank up the settings. I don't think many people will be running it in 4k this year.

N4g_null3659d ago

Extermin8tor.... no one is lobbing any thing at console gamers? The facts are the facts. It will run better on a good pc. Gamers have good pcs. The dlc and preformance will be better. Possible mods and more content. Can use any controller... yes even the wiiu if you like to hack for real. Some pretty old hardware could run this game actually. Isn't that what is in the xbone and ps4?

add 8 gb of ram .. 10$ and overklock your CPU and youll be fine with over 30 fps.

lol you have no idea about PCs do you xD that is actually nice rig.

Stapleface3660d ago

Yesterday you had a "ge force gtx 700" lol, and an i7 3770.. And was asking if you could play it on that. Is this a second pc or are you just confused?

randomass1713659d ago

Like Phoenix Wright, point out the inconsistencies and it creates a string of new questioning. ;)

esemce3660d ago

Lol you are trolling right? a GTX680 destroys the PS4.
If you want to play at 30fps and medium graphics settings get the PS4 version.

You want to go higher get it on PC, and remember if you upgrade your PC in future you can then replay the game at even higher settings it's a no brainer.

No console version will look as good as this:

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

ILive3660d ago

How do u know its gonna be medium graphics settings? You say it like you've played both versions, right? You just make yourself sound foolish.

TheGrimReaper3660d ago

780M GTX, 8GB RAM, i7 4700HQ

Could add another 8GB RAM but I'll still get it on my PS4.

I don't know how well my rig will handle WD, haven't read enough about WD requirements (despite the min. 8GB RAM)

Thomaticus3659d ago

I really wish I hadn't clicked on that video. The PC Makes the PS4 version look like it's the PS3 version. I may need to build (or have someone else build) me a PC.

N4g_null3659d ago

Wow I may get this on steam now. Looking good. With nvidia backing them you know we are not looking at bull shots. I'm really tired of all the console bs going on also. All the lieing and money hatting. The bs specs pushing and the fanboy talk is really dragging down this hobbyists ability to respect fellow gamers. I'm sure the developers feel the same.

is a dual 750m sli with an i7-4700mq good enough?

yea... wait 750m sli? m as in mobile? i didnt know they did sli like that...

That would mean we have, essentially, the same rig. All I have to say is that I am not worried about running Watchdogs extremely well.

Edit: I think I might still get it for the PS4 though

Well, I can already tell you that that's better than my laptop lol. I think you'll be able to run the game, albeit at lower settings.

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.

LucasRuinedChildhood995d ago (Edited 995d 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.

HankHill995d 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.

obidanshinobi995d 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?

RaidenBlack995d 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_toad995d 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

RaidenBlack995d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma313995d 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."

vallencer1060d 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.

mikefizzled11059d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921060d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1060d 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.

WeAreLegion1060d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1060d 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.

ApocalypseShadow1060d 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.
