Watch Dogs truly next gen on PS4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOHH3IJHfCM

900p, can't hold a steady 30fps, drops to 24fps a lot, high settings (not Ultra) no HBAO+, no AF, texture pop in & screen tearing

Bit of a step down from 1080p/60fps Sony promised eh? Greatness is still waiting, maybe another 6 months

The true experience, as Sony called it.

"Play watch dogs in a way that only PS4 can provide"

Still, lol at that 900p!

Anyone who is playing it on console ain't getting the FULL watch dogs experience.

GameInformer:

We noticed slight visual differences between the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Watch Dogs. The PlayStation 4 features slightly sharper visuals, and we ran into some slight screen tearing in the Xbox One version. These issues were not enough to affect our overall enjoyment of the game, but if you have the option, we'd go with the PlayStation 4 version.

Here is video that OP linked .

So watch dogs runs at a sub 1080P resolution on the PS4 and has framerate issues at times(mostly in that one part of the video).This is just weird. I hope the framerate issues are patched if it is possible.

There's a lot going on on that screen. I don't think weak hardware can be patched. Optimisation can only do so much.

To be fair . I think the game runs pretty good on PS4 . Yes , it is not 1080p , and have bad draw distance , screen tearing etc (which is sad) but frame rates are good enough to be enjoyed by regular console user (mostly stays at steady 30fps) .

However , if someone was expecting PC like experience because "Sony said so" then he can't be more than 12 . Yes consoles are underpowered but Watch Dogs is well optimized for consoles .

Infamous SS on other hand have some ups but at the same time doesn't feature as many gameplay elements as Watch Dogs does , so comparing it with SS doesn't make sense . This is the best they could do on current hardwares , at this point .

The framerate is pretty solid actually, the horribly optimized PC version has a yoyo framerate (from 100 to 20 fps for example) however so as i've said before, it's Ubi up to their usualy shitty optimization.

But yeah, lol@900p30fps dat next gen.

@sts106mat: I was wondering if it looked better than Infamous. I didn't see much of Infamous especially the city scapes. Now I know so overall it sounds like an awesome game. The videos that I saw looked spectacular. Much better than GTA for sure.

Why rip on the PS4 version when it runs much better than the Xbox one version?

Looks like a pretty steady 30fps to me, some very rare drops. Infamous looks better though and full 1080p at 30+ fps.

Try Spidertank from the Digital Trips menu lots of building scaling etc., it's epic, one of my favourite things about Watch_dogs by far.

you care a little too much

I think it looks pretty damn good so far. People worry way too much about this stuff.

If you're judging PS4's ability by using WD as an example then you're doing it seriously wrong. This has got to be one of the worst looking cross gen titles on the platform. If ubi concentrated everything on PS4 without the hindrance of last gen then it should at least look somewhat closer to Infamous SS. Let's just leave it as it is and move on.

I don't see what the deal is, game looks pretty good, maintains a 30fps and when it does dip it's very momentary and not very noticeable unless you're reading the framerate counter.

So this is exact level of disparity that was present last gen when comparing X360 to PS3. And yet somehow cows didn't mind it back then. And you, you peasant, don't even own PS4 yet, lol.

PC version is still better. U mad?

dont get the watch dogs hate especially from lems who hyped up titanfall which had so many flaws but the game was FUN LOL anyways watch dogs is FUN lems new saying LOL

aergh...hermits are so full of filth. So is PC gaming. What most of them don't get even if the PS4 had an Intel XEON 4.0GHZ crazy level processor, 64GB GDDR5 RAM than the developer would still try to max it out and would have to sacrifice frames or AA or Resolution etc.

PC only for this game imo, I'll wait for a sale though. I would rather buy Wolfenstein right now strangely enough.

Last gen is still holding back the progression of the current gen and that sucks for us early adopters

Weird, I've got it running at 55fps at 1080 on my ps4. Thread backfire?

both versions look good imo.

aaaaand you can prove this how exactly?? :/

LOL. Gotta love when someone just makes stuff up.

@sts106mat: Yeah all I really heard about was the lighting. I'm definitely not buying a game because of the lighting.

But they haven't 'maxed it out'...

I'm thinking it's more of a Ubisoft/Driver issue on all platforms at this point. I have a 770 with a 4670k and 16GB Ram. And I downloaded the newest Nvidia drivers last night. Yet I'm still having major frame rate issues.

Hard to take the TC seriously with that username.

If it runs badly on PS4 then it DEFINITELY runs worse on the Xbox One so why rip on either of them? Any console fan with sense knows that graphically PC wins any day and I am a sony fan. Consoles wins with exclusives.

Yeah it does lol. Looks sharper as well.

Lems living denial.

This game actually surprise for up port of last gen game. Seems run well and optimize unlike pc version. Still, not as impress as Infamous and has many aspect of last gen product.

this game is ugly as hell

Didn't they say they would patch in 1080p in Titanfall after release :p

Things like resolution and FPS aren't easily fixed in a patch, especially not on consoles (on PC this is a different thing, when it comes to lack of optimization before launch)

I'll be sticking with Infamous.

play watchdogs in a way that only the ps4 can provide.....

900p/24fps

TCHBO

Did you get Watchdogs on PS4?

So a game that isn't impressive as infamous is well and optimize when it is at 900p lol

He can't. lol

Cows gonna cow.

So, I guess this means all of System Wars is going Hermit this gen?

Lol so much hypocrisy in this thread with the 900p and yet xbone didn't even achieve that guess system wars hasn't changed since I've been gone :p
