Also isn't it kind of fucking hilarious how Ubisoft guy is interviewing the other Ubisoft guy, so there is no room at all for real, objective questions about the game?

This is the way the game industry works lol

I have not been following this game, but wow that is a largely noticeable difference. It is almost hard to believe. I probably won't play this game for a year or so, if ever, but if I was a console gamer, then I would feel somewhat misrepresented.

Quite obvious my friend. Pretty much all publishers used a pimped up pc in attempt to dupe the mainstream console users.

Not all of them.

Damage has been controlled, and poorly.

The guy basically dodged the question and said at the end, "I don't know where is this question coming from".

So there you go folks. We need to buy new glasses.

Both the PS4 version and xbox one version will look about the same. The PS4 version may look slightly cleaner since it runs at a higher resolution.I doubt Ubisoft is pushing the hardware of either the xbox one or ps4 with a cross gen game.

The the scale of this game better be immense and on the same level as GTA. Im not a graphics whore, but thats a massive gigantic downgrade from what was shown at E3.

Some people in this thread seem to misinterpret it as complaining about graphics. But it's not about the graphics, it's about the massive downgrade and the fact that Ubisoft overhyped them (again...)

I'm sure the world in Watch_dogs will be a lot smaller than the one in GTA V. But they keep hyping it up as being a more believable world and one that feels more alive. We'll have to see how that turns out.

WOW! GTA V on the 360 and PS3 look better graphically than Watch Dogs on the PS4. Ouch! How do you delay a game for like 6 months, and get this? Maybe Watch Dogs was running at like 10fps on the PS4 at E3 last year because it couldn't handle it? I was thinking technical issues, or the simple fact that the PS4 wasn't in its final build, but seeing what a massive downgrade in graphics this game has took, the PS4 not being able to handle the graphics at E3 2013 makes total sense. And by that I mean the graphics as they were promised, not this downgraded crap. Will The Division suffer the same fate?

What the **** are you talking about, or did you forget that Infamous Second Son also exists on PS4, an exclusive I might add and it kills your arument.

"PS4 not being able to handle the graphics" is a joke, and you should slap yourself for forming up your lips to say something like that.

No, don't blame the PS4 for the developers failure to produce what they promised, if the developers did decided to downgrade, it isn't because the PS4 was too weak to handle the graphics. With open wold games like Infamous SS existing you can pretty much hang up that argument now. If someone tries to make to suggest the PS4 was/is not able to handle Watch dog graphics they fail.

So 6 Month delay to greatly downgrade the graphics and shoehorn in what I assume will be lackluster multiplayer. Sounds about right.

Yeah this is the new footage released to the press. It looks pretty decent and a lot better than some other shots floating around.

But it still looks nothing like that first initial E3 demo

GTA V draw distance at 0,low texture&shadow resolution,upscaled to 720p ,few NPCs and cars on the screen. You're absolutely right .

Hahahaha, I've been saying this since the E3 reveal. It was all being shown on PC - even at the PS4 reveal. They're in the business of deception.

Watch Dogs seems like the first victim of a developer keeping one foot in two ponds for too long.

Or they drastically chose to misrepresent their product for almost two years.

Fingers crossed the PC version excels - the game's premise is intriguing and it'd be unfortunate to see the potential go to waste.

The visuals give me such a, shit what was that game with the origami killer?

It looks like I should press X to Jason. That cop car looks really bad. The lighting just looks so flat.

Heavy Rain

Yep that's the one.

Waiting for the downgrade in "The Division". I don't give a shit for Watch Dogs, but this one, I bet, will be hit hard by the Hammer of Down.

There has been lots of bogus downgrade topics , most of which are BS. I love the Uncharted ones that compare two different cut-scenes one per-rendered vs one in-game. Those are great because then you know the people that haven't played the game. The Infamous SS one was great also where you had people taking YouTube screen grabs and trying to compare them to uncompressed screenshots. But this looks like this could actually be a Downgrade. I will wait till we see more footage though. This isn't uncommon for Ubisoft as they did the same thing with Far Cry 3 when they downgraded all versions including the PC.
