Watch Dogs PC footage (nVIDIA Trailer)

Looks great to me . Much better than console footage and very similar to initial demo .

Nice try Ubisoft Nice Try.

But darn i get a GTA vibe from the game so if they can pull it off, Rockstar you can go stuff GTA V up your own "arse" :D

This should finally put the visual downgrade debate to rest.

Just get the "Remastered for PC" version.

Hopefully it doesn't run like ass like a lot of nvidia sponsered games (unmodded crysis 2 and batman ac before a bunch of patches come to mind).

That trailer didn't demonstrate anything. What am I looking for? Without an effect on/off comparison it is pretty hard to appreciate any enhancements.

It is the realistic shadowing of objects. The shadows are not entirely black or have clear defined edges like you see in many other games. Just take a look at shadows cast by the objects in your room when you turn on the light. The HBAO+ technology tries to mimic real life and increase the photorealism in the scene. Unfortunately, the tech is a frame rate killer and a beefy machine (ultra spec requirements) is required for Watch Dogs to look its best... at night (especially when it's raining).

There are more dusk and night scenes in the nVidia trailer than there are day scenes. So the real question is whether it is worth upgrading the pc just to have a prettier picture at certain times of the day?

looks real sweet.
