Anfang März reisten wir zu Ubisoft Montreal nach Kanada und durften hinter die Kulissen der Entwicklung von Watch Dogs schauen. Im folgenden Video zeigen wir euch exklusive 1080p-Szenen aus der PS4-Fassung des Actionspiels. Die Clips zeigen, was die Engine von Ubisoft in Sachen Lichteffekte, Tessellation und Windsimulation zu bieten hat. Außerdem beantworten die Entwickler Fragen zum Spiel-Szenario, Realismus und Technik.

What impressed me was at 1:42 mins, the guy in the blue shirt and white pants got out of his car to take a closer look. He paused when he saw another car accelerating out from the wreckage and finally panicked when it nearly hit him.

Great real life survival tip. Next time, just drive away from the scene and do not get out of the car.

@pongley: Yeah I thought so. Thanks for pointing it out!

Very stable frame rate despite the number of particle effects, explosions, reflections etc. happening on the screen all at once. The train even passes overhead, casting lights on the street below as the carnage unfolds. Best of all, it's totally unscripted.

This is no graphics downgrade, any PS4 owner would be proud of his or her investment.

As confirmed by Jonathan Morin on Twitter, the in-game footage was captured from a PS4 Dev Kit and played as a video file on a PC at PAX East 2014.

The annual PSN Plus subscription covers both PS3 and PS4 at no extra cost. If you are planning to upgrade from your PS3, it is worth getting a PS4 because you will be getting free games in your instant game collection on both platforms. With the PS4's limit of 2,000 friends on PSN, you will never run out of online players for your multiplayer sessions.

Even a tricked out PC (8 cores, 16GB sys ram, etc) is at the mercy of a poorly optimized game and there are quite a few examples in recent memory.
