Watch Dogs Looks Mind-Blowing - New Screenshot Revealed

DSOGaming writes: "Ubisoft has revealed a new screenshot for its amazing and gorgeous looking third person action-adventure game, Watch Dogs. This new shot showcases the mind-blowing tech of the game engine, powering Watch Dogs. As we can see, textures are of a high resolution, specular and diffuse maps have been used properly, soft shadows and soft particles can be easily spotted, and the lighting system looks great. In addition, there is object motion blur, as well as a nice reflection system."

And people still maintain its gonna looks this good on current consoles? Jog on!

Cannot wait for this game, if I don't have a good pc come release at least I have a friend who will :D

Here's hoping the pc version gets ported to nex gen consoles as a launch title :)

I dunno if I could play the gimped current gen console version if it doesnt look like this.

Abash4476d ago

If next gen is as close as sources have been saying then Ubisoft would be stupid to put this game on PS3/360 instead of next gen consoles

ardivt4476d ago

I also think that I will not be able to play the ps3/360 version of the game :/

saladthieves4476d ago

Of course you would!

It just won't look as pretty, that's all.

WeskerChildReborned4476d ago

Yea, they said it's coming current gen but i doubt they can bring those beautiful visuals on to 360 or PS3 well maybe PS3 but you wouldn't wanna make each port better than the other right? Would be awesome if they could those visuals on consoles though.

greenpowerz4476d ago (Edited 4476d ago )

"Well maybe PS3" LOL

You know how much RAM this game will be using. The GPU in PS3 will be begging, saying linear please! Come on, just a little *static* game design!

WeskerChildReborned4476d ago

@greenpowerz, i'm not saying that it would be a big difference compared to 360.

greenpowerz4476d ago

You made my day with that joke.

Thanks man I needed that :)

BrutallyBlunt4476d ago (Edited 4476d ago )

@WeskerChildReborned

Big difference like all the other games that are available on each system? Tell us how many games actually look better on the Playstation 3 than they do on the XBOX360? Now list games on the XBOX360 that look better.

The two systems are so close to one another it's a waste of time to even compare the two. Yet after all these years here you are making silling console war messages.

Those who do care about getting the better verion will be getting it on the PC. It's only the kids that sit there and argue about the minimal differences between the Playstation 3 and XBOX360 versions and try and make them sound more drastic than they really are. Very few games actually have any difference to be worth talking about and if the XBOX360 does struggle it will be due to having to split the game on multiple disks, the visuals themselves will be very alike.

We have seen some bad ports on the Playstation 3 and we have seen very few on the XBOX360. So there's no use in starting some fanboy garbage long before the game even ships.

So do everyone a favor and stop making comments that have anything to do with the XBOX360, your whole post history is biased and not very informative to anyone who actually wants a reasonable response.

Yeah, if you look at the brick wall behind the railway line, the anisotropy on the textures is insane. You'd never be able to achieve that on consoles, only high end PCs could render a scene like that and still be playable. I reckon even my GTX 580 would struggle, simply because the 1.5GB of VRAM would quickly fill up with all that texture data.

ardivt4476d ago

wow I did not even see the textures. this looks insane!

saladthieves4476d ago

I also noticed the texture behind the railway, especially all the way to the top of the building. It looks very clear which equates to lots of Video memory to hold lots of texture data.

Now if people think that this game is gonna play and look just as good as on consoles, ha haha haa...

greenpowerz4476d ago (Edited 4476d ago )

Quality this high with an engine this advanced will still produce one of the best looking games on consoles. When BF3 was first shown, the world was excited because they knew the graphical prowess of the tech would still produce stellar console graphics. No one cares if devs show advanced tech on PC we can still be excited you know. WatchDogs can be dumbed down by half and still look better than 99.99% of games on consoles.

It's not just visuals turning heads with games like Watchdogs or past games like BF3. Game design, physics and concept equally play(ed) a part.

DeadIIIRed4476d ago

I can tell you that the game will look a whole lot better on my consoles than on my computer...mainly because my computer can't even handle solitaire anymore

Looks alot like GTA IV iCEnhancer Modes !

Sidewinder-4476d ago

My mind has not blown up. The article title is a blatant lie.

Nice screenshot though.

-Gespenst-4476d ago

It doesn't look perfect, but for a game that's still in development, it looks insane. I don't think I'll get this for my Ps3, but I'll have to pray I'll be able to afford a Ps4...

XboxInnovation4476d ago

Ps4 will be last jack tretton said does this mean no ps4 watch dogs

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.

RaidenBlack1152d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1152d ago (Edited 1152d 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.

HankHill1152d 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.

obidanshinobi1152d 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.

LamerTamer1152d 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.

gantarat1152d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee1152d 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?

RaidenBlack1152d 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.

BlaqMagiq11152d ago

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

Profchaos1152d 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.

BlaqMagiq11152d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn1152d ago

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

smolinsk1152d ago (Edited 1152d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos1152d ago (Edited 1152d 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_toad1152d 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.

LamerTamer1152d 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.

TheSinsibleOne1152d 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.

LamerTamer1152d 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.

TheEnigma3131152d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack1152d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma3131152d 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."

vallencer1217d ago

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

Pridefall1217d ago

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

mikefizzled11216d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921217d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1217d ago

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

Gameseeker_Frampt1216d 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.

WeAreLegion1217d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1217d 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.

ApocalypseShadow1217d 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.
