What makes Watch Dogs a true next gen game

Ubisoft community manager publishes a blog about the game's next gen features revealing the resolution for both next gen versions

[Applejack]

So 900p on PS4 and 792p on Xbox One? If this ends up being true, at least there's good news.

"It’s much more important to deliver an amazing next-gen experience than it is to push a few more pixels onto a screen"

They are trying to make it a much dynamic and richer experience with a constant framerate. I know many people here wanted full native 1080p with 60fps but that isn't being realistic. Also, the game delay was to work on the hacking aspect making sure it was integrated in the game as much as possible.

[ILive]

Like I said, there could still be a patch that will make the game 1080p. Let's just wait and see. Though I may not be getting the game until I finish grand theft auto 5.

[sonypsnow]

They could put Watch Dogs on Playstation Now 1080p/60fps with maximum settings.

[jackanderson1985]

They delayed it for 6 months. If they couldn't get it to 1080p in that 6 months it isn't looking all to likely for a patch

[UltimateMaster]

Yeah, well, I guess it's a good rental.
I'd have to see myself how well this run first.

[AndrewLB]

SonyPSNow- If that were the case, why didn't they? It's not like they didn't already have the higher resolution 1080p+ textures that are used in the PC version.

This bizarre idea that developers are holding PS4 games back because of Xbone is absolute nonsense. These game studios are full of entrepreneuers who want to make money, and the chances of them using the policy of social justice to "level the playing field" so everyone gets the same experience regardless of the fact that some platforms are clearly more powerful...

The idiot who believes in that regressive crap is no doubt the type who is against keeping score in kids sports and everyone gets a trophy because they don't believe in winners and losers, right and wrong, and all that matters is that you tried your best. LoL. What a joke. It's like that girl recently who moved out of her parents house because she wasn't allowed to have her scumbag boyfriend live there, then she goes and sues them to pay for her living expenses AND college education even though she was 18 and legally an adult. Thank god the judge wasn't appointed by Obama, because luckily it got thrown out.

[EXVirtual]

But this doesn't make sense.
Back in March, Ubisoft said this game was 1080p on PS4 and 960P on XBO, both at 30fps!
http://n4g.com/news/1468750...

[psyxon]

how does it not make sense? march was months ago. do you not understand how time works? or change?

[Crazyglues]

Guess you missed all those articles about Watchdogs being downgraded...?

Nothing says were making a last gen game like not being able to hit 1080p, now not hitting 60 fps I can understand, but not getting 1080p on PS4 that's just ridiculous

This is what happens when you make your game for too many systems and then just start cutting corners to get it done.

[Magicite]

I dare to say - they did not optimize it enough.

[medman]

This was always my concern for this game, and really any game, that straddles both generations. For me it's not a deal breaker and I'm looking forward to playing the game, but there is no doubt given all we've seen thus far this gen for ps4 and xbone that compromises are made for games not designed for new gen consoles only. It gives me great pause for what The Division will be, although I'm hoping for better because that is focused on new gen only. We know the ps4 is fully capable of open world 1080p 30fps, as there are games available now at that resolution and games announced that will hit that, so I wonder what Ubisoft's problem is.

[Future_2015]

theres a resolution war going on between the microsoft guys and sony guys and when ubisoft announce watch dogs is 900p and 792p on xbox all of a sudden its all just about the actual gameplay in the conversation and resolution talk goes silent, pathetic really in 2014 900p is the greatness that awaits, this is only 2014 and 900p for this game what is next gen? lol just get a pc

[fr0sty]

If you plan on spending a lot more on your hardware, sure.

[psyxon]

I really wish people would stop with the old "just get a pc" argument. My god. You guys want to be in every conversation, don't you?

[Aussiebeachbabe]

Future I have a gaming pc and will still get it on console. The game will still look and play great on either console. Go and play it on pc by yourself because you sound like a nerdy geekboy with no friends...

[UltraNova]

Well, for 400 bucks, 900p and 1080p/30fps (most times) seems ok wouldn't you think? Keep in mind the actual building cost for Sony is even less.

[saviin]

If all you care about is the best resolution and frame rate than PC is the best option, and the cost of games make up for the price you pay to build it unless you only buy a few games in a generation. I went PC last gen and plan on going console this gen after playing my kids wii u and realizing I want a dedicated system in my living room instead of sneaking down to the basement to play a mmo. I'll probably get a ps4 because I like rpg's more than shooters, because the games are what matter.

[choujij]

No. If I wanted to game on 900p, I would have bought an Xbone. Guess I'll probably get the PC version for my HTPC. Really disappointed to see this was dumbed down. Even Infamous which is out already out, runs at 1080p 30+fps. Ubisoft took the piss on this one.

[hollabox]

Agree Future! If resolution is so important just buy the PC version. I have both recently released next gen consoles, I myself was settled on getting the PS4 version when the rumor 1080P/60hz spread like an virus across the web. I don't really care about the 900P, but the 30hz is something I'm about tired of right now. I like to buy the best port or version of the game. So this time around my PC is getting my $60.

Is PC gaming expensive? Hell yeah, but like cars some people build their PCs as a hobby, continuously adding parts over time. Is PC gaming a waste of time? Yep, my $500 video card will be obsolete in 3 years unless DX12 is really all that. You do get more mileage out of consoles? Hell yeah, I'm still impressed by PS3 and XB360 visuals.

[F4sterTh4nFTL]

I will be enjoying the "True" True Next-Gen experience on my PC with Maximum Quality and more than 60 FPS.

[psyxon]

name 5 pc exclusives you're anticipating. i'll wait.

[F4sterTh4nFTL]

@psyxon

Only 5, that is too easy, I will give you 10:

01. Star Citizen
02. Unreal Tournament 4
03. DayZ

05. Pillars of Eternity
06. Assetto Corsa
07. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
08. Starcraft II: Legacy of the Void
09. Civilization: Beyond Earth
10. Planetary Annihilation

[brich233]

There was people saying they would have prefered 1080p at 30fps with better graphics on ps4, but now they are getting 900p hahahaha and now they will Complain about that lol

[TheGrimReaper0011]

I agree with ya there, sugarcube :D

[Ghost_Nappa]

Lol at disagree count.

[DarkLordMalik]

Sad. So much for the 1080p and 60 fps =/

Disappointed.

[Neonridr]

instead you get 900p and 30fps.. :/

[Volkama]

As stories go, the twists in this one have been epic.

Just this afternoon people were laughing at others for jumping the gun and getting egg on their face. Now everyone has egg on their face, and the people that didn't participate are beginning to feel left out. Maybe.

[XiSasukeUchiha]

@DarkLord

IKR

[osprey19]

I see no downgrade tbh. And yes the hardware is capable, it's just it takes time to learn everything about a new platform.

[osprey19]

Id rather have great lighting, texture, shading, aesthetics and game engine compared to the idiotic resolution junkies some people have become

[DarkLordMalik]

I would have agreed had the game retained its original visuals. But even those have been downgraded.

[Christopher]

I'd rather have both. The hardware is capable of it.

[Volkama]

Sadly the golem.de article earlier reported bad textures, bad lighting, and visible aliasing.

Fear for the division.

[Timesplitter14]

60 fps should be the priority regardless of what graphical sacrifices they have to make. Games that run at 30 fps feel unresponsive and irritating. They just put me to sleep. 30 fps is a massive instant turnoff.

People who usually play on consoles may not notice this but once you're used to playing 60+ fps on PC it's hard to go back

[gamernova]

No big deal. It's all about at least 2560 x 1440p now in the PC world. You console guys really need to stop frames and resolution. That is a PC thing. Just be happy with your games.

[Neonridr]

comparable I guess to BF4 then.

[DarkLordMalik]

BF 4 was still 60 fps.

[Neonridr]

well, sometimes. It dipped all over the place though, hitting as low as 30fps when you were playing some conquest maps.

[Kayant]

Lmaoooo this game has had such a trainweck journey PR wise. Xbox continues it weird resolution streak. Surprising at PS4 being 900p. I wonder if the framerate situation will be a repeat of AC4.

[staticdash22]

Lol it's 900p on PS4, 792p on Xbox One. No wonder this game doesn't look like the PS4 reveal.

[Convas]

Wow!

Much 1080p.

Such 60fps.

Witcher 3 is next. Going to need to get a 770 4GB.

[TheDevKit]

Won't the GTX 870/880 be out by then?

[Qrphe]

780 6GB is around the corner. Dont expect WD to have goodboptimization regardless

[kiz2694]

I dont know, they seem to be working very close with Nvidia, with both promo videos and free game giveaway to people who buy a GTX 700 series, you would think it would run well on a graphics card the game comes free with or whats the point.

[gamer1138]

Certainly not the resolution! :P

[Baszs]

Well it's far from a Next-Gen Game.

[Loadedklip]

What makes Watchdogs a next gen game? The fact that the experience of Watchdog is playable on last gen systems kinda makes it not next gen.

[ahmedghoula]

"On new-gen systems the game will run at 900p on PS4 and 792p on Xbox One, at 30 frames-per-second on both consoles."

:P

i wounder if a 2013 system can only give us 792p, how will the game look like on a 2005 system that is the X360...

[sephiroth420]

probably low pc settings, which is what ill be playing on :D lol

[Loadedklip]

Unfortunately these 2013 systems are not a huge jump over the 2005/2006 systems.

This generation is the smallest leap in graphics in the history of video game generations.

[FogLight]

Where the hell did Sony come up with 1080p and 60fps?! <_<

[mafiahajeri]

They were probably promised it by the idiots at ubi

[FogLight]

I am worried about PR now :/

[Bundi]

Links or it didn't happen.

[hello12]

Like i said before they have a habit of doing this Sony. They tried it with Killzone Shadowfall by claiming the multiplayer was 1080p native. It was found out by Digital foundry i believe months later, this was untrue. Sony never even said sorry or apologised for lying to their fans.

They tried to pull a fast one here again. I find it hard to believe Sony didn't know the actual resolution.

Tringle Dodd right back at you!

Killzone: Shadow Fall outputs at 1080p in single-player and multiplayer, but it isn't native. It uses a unique processing method that blends 960 x 1080 images together.

[triangle_todd]

http://www.killzone.com/en_...

[imt558]

I told you before about KZ trough PM, trough many articles, but probably i speak with the wall. Just read the f****** KZ article and shut up. F****** MisterX follower!

Anyway! I'm quite surprised. I really believed that Watch Dogs will be 1080p/30fps ( at least ) on PS4 ( i predicted that Xbone version will have lower resolution - at least 900p ). Now is 900p for PS4 and odd resolution 792 for Xbone. And 30fps. God damn! So much about delaying the game

InFamous : SS PUT THIS GAME GRAPHICALLY TO SHAME!

[CryofSilence]

It is 1920 x 1080. 960 x 1080 are rendered normally, where the other is rendered as a predictive technology and compiled together, resulting in 1920x1080. The image quality isn't as good all the time (when prediction fails), but the image output is 100% 1080p.

[GearSkiN]

They got too excited

[ALLWRONG]

How did Sony come up with it? They lied, that's how.

Glad the other sites are covering it :)

[cfc83]

It does matter. Next gen games cost more. Why should console gamers pay alot more for a game than pc players, when it doesnt perform as well ?

[Pandamobile]

Because Sony and Microsoft both needs money to survive, and they'll take it from you at every opportunity they can reasonably do it.

[osprey19]

Resolution doesn't equal performance. If u had a pc, and turned up all the resolution but as a cost u had to turn down the graphics, the high res wont make it look as good as it was at lower res but higher graphics. Same thing happens when creating a game, only a certain amount of recourses in a console, i want better lighting, shading, aesthetics and gameplay mechanics before the resolution goes higher

[cfc83]

Frames equate to performance. Crashes and multiplayer destruction will run smoother at 60fps. Technically its suplementing the mechanics. Btw i have doubts about this game, as in the new 9 minute video, there is a car collision at 6 mins and the cars just bounce off one another.

[mafiahajeri]

"Aiden Pearce is crouched behind cover in a dark alley..." Hiding from the backlash of this news...

[chaosx]

hes hacking all news feeds , amending all stories of 1080p down to 900p…

[mike32UK]

This is exactly what I thought. UBISOFT have handled the PR for this game terribly, also 900p and 792p?? WTF does that even mean haha. PS4 and XB1 shouldn't be bickering with each other they should be uniting against lazy optimisation and coding!

[Errefus]

Hoping Wii U version is 792p 60fps

[Qrphe]

Lol

[mike32UK]

I hope it's 1080p 60fps that would be hilarious ,they couldn't possibly get the PR for this game any worse than it already is

[Illusive_Man]

PS4 version only has 22% more pixels. That is not a significant difference at all.

[Sincere0121]

Wii U version will be 1080p, hopefully the delay is a good thing

[Deep-throat]

Hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaa Loooooooooooool

[Skate-AK]

Sounds like a good balance for performance.

[uth11]

I'm still excited, I'm sure it will still look amazing!

BTW, out of curiosity, I priced out a PC on Newegg based on Watch Dogs recommended specs for Ultra. It's around $1600, not including the monitor! The game is obviously a resource hog. The $400 consoles hold up pretty well given that.

[ArbitorChief]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! !!!!! Oh my lord, I knew the PS4 version wasn't going to be 60 FPS, you'd have to be a moron to believe that, but not even 1080p as well XD God damn, these next-gen consoles are so weak it's pathetic

[ArbitorChief]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! !!!!! Oh my lord, I knew the PS4 version wasn't going to be 60 FPS, you'd have to be a moron to believe that and so many Sony fanboys did as usual but not even 1080p as well XD God damn, these next-gen consoles are so weak it's pathetic. No surprise that Sony lied, just the usual Sony business tactics.

[JasonKCK]

Odd how this news isn't as big as it should be considering the "give me 1080p 60fps or give me death" comment from Sony.

[kx11]

it is Next-gen but only on PC

4k + 60fps FTW

[PirosThe4th]

just got a 4k monitor. Its amazing...

[totalrecoilzz]

4K MONITORS ARE NOT WORTH IT 4 GAMING NOT YET ANYWAY.MAYBE FOR FILMS THO.

[LightDiego]

Nothing impressive, this game will flop.

[xKugo]

Weak next-gen consoles are weak....
I still love my PS4 to death, but damn I wish more and more they had to the funds to make this machine stronger. 900p/30fps is just sooo bad. I'll play it on PC cautiously, because uPlay and Ubisoft utter incompetence with PC ports still makes weary of buying it for my rig. I really do wish this game had been 1080/60 on PS4. I dread the thought of all the issues and drivers problems this game is likely to cause.

-Sighs-

[mike32UK]

This is the first time I've ever considered building a PC for multiplats, this really isn't acceptable

[Sci0n]

the 900p 30 fps is very disappointing to me only because of that long delay we had for WD. If the game was never delayed I would be like oh whatever no big deal. I realize games will get better developed on the consoles longer in the life span. Xbox one gamers should be even more furious about the 792p 30fps. Come on guys this is seriously unacceptable for a next gen title of this magnitude that has even had a long delay. I honestly am not as hyped for the division as I previously been because the game spec wise probably won't live up to the next gen hype. My PC from 5 years ago can run open world games at 900p 30fps and it has had no significant upgrades because I haven't pc gamed since then. I really prefer console gaming but this is very disappointing. I already have WD paid off and I will still play it but man smh.

[annus]

Crap framerate and resolution on already well known architecture. Not good news for this gen.

[totalrecoilzz]

very true its not good news because in 1 2 years time your be playing 30 fps 700p as games will become even more powerful.the ps4 is very under powered you could build a pc for the same price as a ps4 and it would be better.

[uth11]

I priced out a PC based on WatchDogs published Ultra requirements. It came to around $1600 not including monitor!

The game is a resource pig, you can't blame a $400 console for that.

[Imalwaysright]

Bound to happen. As games get bigger and more advanced devs will have to start making compromisses. Anyone that thought that any of the next gen consoles would be able to produce 1080p/60fps games throughout the whole gen are in for a rude awakening. I just didn't expect that devs would start to make compromisses so soon especially on cross gen titles. Judging by how so many n4g users care so much about resolution and fps d my advice to you is to build yourselves a decent PC.

[Display]

Not trolling , but i sincerely think Infamous SS looks visually better than watch dogs (even when compared to the E3 version.)

Here's a comparison.
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

And yet this game runs at 1080P

Watch dogs at 900p and 30fps means ORDER CANCELED. THAT'S RIGHT ! I'm not even gonna bother playing the game on PC out of principle ! I originally wanted to buy it for the extra-content on ps4 , but sorry folks. 900p at 30fps ? ain't gonna cut it.

Now , you guys may say: "well , don't act like a spoiled rotten child" , "graphics aren't everything" etc....etc

And to that i say this.
YOU'RE RIGHT ! But this argument goes both ways. In other words , i'm all for 900p or hell , 720p 30FPS games....But only on PS3 or 360. We're not in 2006 anymore.

As a consumer , you need to give me a reason ,an incentive to buy your game. And 900p / 30FPS means that i'll simply boycott the damn game for false advertising.

I already had a reason to buy a new console. Great exclusives with better resolution and graphics. And i was willing to do a few exceptions here & there for multiplat titles with exclusive console content. (even though i can find them on PC).

But ubisoft can count me out , even on PC ! I just can't stand false advertising. Tricking your consumers will not increase your sells.

I'll still keep the console just for the exclusives (from Naughty dog , Santa Monica studio , Ready at Dawn , Quantic Dream , SuckerPunch , etc ).

But i'll automatically boycott ubisoft for lying to their consumers. I'm already prepared to do the same for The Division.

Ubisoft would have an excuse if no other game would be able to run at 1080p or at least 900p & 60fps (like battlefield 4). But 900p & 30fps ? No way.

Maybe i'd understand if the visuals were better than games like Ryse or Infamous. But it's not even the case !

Again , Infamous SS runs at 1080p and clearly has better graphics !

[Stapleface]

If they added everything to Infamous that Watch Dogs has, the dynamic lighting, the interactive NPC's, drivable vehicles, actual water physics for swimming/boating, the weather system then Infamous wouldn't be 1080p either. Plus, the mini games, the multiplayer aspects, ACTUAL SIDE MISSIONS, and not 30 second "find the camera and destroy it" annoyances. Those were not side missions, if you choose to call them that, then your easily pleased, and in that case Watch Dogs should blow you away. Graphics certainly are not everything, when it comes to what the resolution is going to be on consoles. You have to take into consideration everything going on under the hood as well, and not just the paint job.

[imt558]

Infamous SS also have partially dynamic weather, destructible environments ( some ), so awesome GPGPU particle effects ( probably the best i've ever seen ) and every particle have its own source of light, very sharp textures for an open world game. InFamous is not empty for sure. There lots of cars and pedestrians in one place. And @1080p/~45fps. Damn. There is no excuse for Watch Dogs. This game has downgrades since famous E3 2012 trailer ( low res textures, character models look unimpressive etc...) Probably the worst reason is that game was developing FOR 6 F****** DIFFERENT PLATFORMS. If game was developing for next-gen ONLY, results probably would be better.

[uth11]

Is Watchdogs going to run at 900p, 30fps on a PS3 with all the effects? Somehow I doubt that.

If they couldn't hit 1080p, there's probably good reason.. This game does a lot of stuff at once. Sure the resolution news is disappointing, but 1080p isn't what makes a game great. And really, to see the difference between 900p and 1080p you'll need to sit inches from the screen or need a magnifying glass.

[mogwaii]

In june we'll see the same thing with the division, you people dont truly believe any of the footage shown so far is represetitive of how the game will look on consoles do you?! Just like watch dogs e3 reveal so to will the division follow suit.

[mike32UK]

Frame rate really doesn't bother me, I'm more than happy with a solid 30. Resolution is a whole other issue, after seeing the difference between 720p and 1080p from last gen to this one, this is seriously making me doubt my purchase

[Ozmoses]

Everyone is so freaking critical nowaday... Nobody ever cared about little shit back in the day..

If the game looks appealing to you then play it.. Regardless of graphics..

I play games I think I will enjoy. Not every game has to be the "cream of the crop" in technical beauty even on the new systems..

The game either looks like garbage or not... and once the it's at 720p, any further HD is HARDLY noticeable to the untrained eye. and I mean people that work with television and shit on a daily basis.

[Ashriel]

oh boy, they really screwed it up :/

[Father__Merrin]

the resolution is fine for this game, lol I love how pc geeks come in to downplay I'd like to ask them their specs when they say get it on pc?

most will buy it for console's as that's the best place to play your games on especially with friends and family round,

[Stapleface]

Only because you asked and to make sure you know that your wrong. I preorded through G2a, then got a refund and preordered through Steam so I could get the digital deluxe version. I have no intention of buying it for my ps4. My rig is as follows:

i7 4770k @4.2ghz
16gb 1886 DDR3 RAM
3gb 780ti Dual Classified (name of card not SLI)
Asus ROG Hero VI Motherboard
Samsung 840 Pro 256gb SSD
Seagate 2 TB SSHD
EVGA Supernova 750w PSU
Corsair H100i liquid CPU cooler
All in a beautiful black CM Storm Trooper case.

Before anyone says, oh but you paid blah blah blah for it. Yeah about $2,500. I saved every penny of that from my hard earned money. I'm not rich, didn't just pull that out of my wallet like it was nothing. I SAVED MONEY. That seems beyond most of you considering all many of you ever complain about is the money issue. Save it. Most people don't have a couple grand just laying around. I sure as hell don't. But I also don't use a cellphone, so I'm not dishing out over $100 a month for service, and about $500 every six months like some do for a new phone. Everyone has their things they don't mind spending a lot of money on. For some it's vacations, others it's cellphones, for me it's PC components and glass art. Doesn't make me a bad person. As for consoles being the best place to play with friends and family, that's besides the point with this game. It's single player. Plus it's rated M, I don't need my son around when I'm playing it. So much for that argument.

[totalrecoilzz]

i think your build is stupid if all you do is game..because you have wasted money on certain things...like why 16 gb of ramm u dont need it for gaming..i7 is not needed for gaming i5 alot cheaper does the same thing..780ti 7 fps faster than a stock 780 but at a charge of 200 more..like i said silly build.

[Stapleface]

@totalrecoilzz I remember people saying you didn't need 8gb of ram not too long ago.. My build is only stupid if you don't understand future proofing. Why would I buy less capable hardware if I had the money for better hardware at the time? 7fps? Where are you getting your info from? You might want to recheck some benchmarks.. i5 doesn't do the same thing, btw, the i7 outperforms it. Don't give me that "not by much bs" it outperforms it, even if it's only a few fps it doesn't change the fact. It's definitely better when it comes down to CPU heavy operations on certain games. Wolfenstein has an i7 listed as a minimum requirement. Again, future proofing. Games will start to require better hardware as time goes on. If I bought lesser hardware, I would be upgrading way sooner. This is why some people think you need to upgrade a PC all the time. Because some people (like you I take it from your comment) don't build their pc's to last.

[Psychotica]

Also, you will most likely be able to reuse much of what you bought the next time you upgrade. I have used the same case, power supply etc several times so far.

[GeraltofRivia]

Basically next gen consoles basically means 6 year old average gaming pc. Absolutely pathetic. PS4 is great for the exclusive games however I think I will enjoy this game at 2560 X 1600.

[Debaitable]

Wow, it's worse than what I expected. Makes me even want to rethink of my future purchase of an Xbone even after the price drop announcement.

[beereal360]

Any game that's made on last gen is not a true next gen game.

[Azzanation]

Can you fanbabies STFU already with this 1080p/60frames BS. That isn't what makes a game next gen. Gameplay/Creativeness/Fun = Next gen not Visuals.

[estillz96]

Not to bash this post or anything but we won't see a "true next gen game" until late 2015 at earliest. Look at how long it took them to get on the Level on Uncharted 2 or Crysis 3 on Ps3/Xbox 360. Halo 3 looks horrid when compared to Halo 4, and Oblivion looks horrid compared to Skyrim. Give them time, lots of time and you will notice the drastic differences later on.

[jlo]

What proves it's a true next gen game? Both the PS4 and Xbox One can't run it properly.

I'm looking forward to playing Watch Dogs at 2560x1600 60fps with HBAO+ and TXAA

Fifa 14 is still the only game I have on the PS4.. Sony is failing hard :(

[SoulSercher620]

You say PS4 and XB1 can't run it properly yet you say Sony is failing?

The hypocrisy.

this is not a next-gen title!!

If it is on ps3 and xbox360 the game was downgraded in a plethora of ways.

It is so easy to tell

Wow it's a shame it's only 900p on PS4 and even worse on XB1. The 30fps I don't have much of a problem with but with more powerful technology and a game like this you have to question whether this game really could've been 1080p on consoles. Whether if it really was because to make the game better or they didn't have time to put it in the game.

so now 900p 30 fps is fine . how do sony get away with lying to people that it was going to be 1080p and 60 fps ? (quickly removed from add) .

false advertising tut! tut!!! also what happened to all games being 1080p ? this is also what they said ? . ps4 so powerful and all that :) .

how ever looking forward to playing the game regardless of res or fps

Watch dogs is going to be a fantastic game, especially on PS4 and Xbox One

Ouch that is a low blow for console gamers...

so interesting how few people complained about sub-720p games on last gen. why do people care so much about upscaled sub-1080 on current gen? i love full 1080p as much as anyone, but yeah, it's a design choice

Because that's one of the many reasons why they bought a new console in the first place , sherlock. The reason why people are bitching is because they were lied to. And could've simply stayed on the 360/PS3 , instead of buying a machine that barely differenciates itself from its predecessors.

Thankfully , it's not entirely the case though. Since there are games running at 1080p already. However , ubisoft can go f-itself.

And they won't even get my money on the PC version.

All lies. Ubi now with resolution. I'm still upset with the lies from the press conference from last E3.
