The_Rev Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 It's interesting to see just how much the internet has turned on Watch Dogs in recent weeks. The latest gameplay videos which were released at the start of the month look nothing like what was advertised at E3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 True but id imagined the original footage was on a high spec pc. Still think the ps4 version will look good. As long as it plays well I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Latest ps4 game play looks ace! Multiplayer looks fun too. Whos picking this up? Anyone on ps4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted April 25, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 25, 2014 Not going to bother with it. Think it looks quite dull to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) In typical Ubisoft fashion, there are 9 different special editions on top of the normal version. Da fuq? I like the premise of this game but there have been way too many inconsistencies with what the devs have been saying about it, the gameplay elements seem to change regularly, it's hard to have any confience in what they're actually going to be releasing. And when it comes to the performance of the game, I've heard at least half a dozen contradictions about what resolution and framerate it'll be running on for consoles, from them being confident of 1080p at 60fps, to it only running at 792p on Xbox at 30fps, and everything in between. I've had too many poor performing Assassin's Creed titles from Ubisoft to chance this. Think I'll wait for a steam sale for this so I can see what people think once the hype dies down.

Rino8 Posted May 14, 2014 Visiting Supporter Share Posted May 14, 2014 If it ends up being the game it seems to say it is, I couldn't give less of a shit about whether it runs at 720p or not. I'm more skeptical that it's going to just be an average sandbox game with some nice ideas. Ubisoft create pretty but hollow game worlds and they seem to be advertising it as this enormous, anything can happen game with enough story angles and npc interaction to keep you busy forever. But I think it'll look much more linear than it says and the game will look like bad GTA with just a few different touches. What they're suggesting doesn't seem possible with the technology they're playing with. I hope I'm wrong, hopefully this game is mind blowing but I'm not sold on it.

Davkaus Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 The resolution itself isn't a huge problem to me (though the framerate is), I am concerned at how many times they've set completely different expectations though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted May 14, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 14, 2014 I've got this on pre-order but I think I'm going to cancel it as it looks a bit dull. What is actually different about it? GTA is the ultimate sandbox game but this just looks like a boring, prettier version of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 900p on the PS4. Whilst I'm not that bothered about resolution, it's a bit of a piss take that consoles in this day and age still can't get a native resolution on every game. Can't wait to build a PC again soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hacking feature is it's USP. If that doesn't appeal to you, it's probably not a game you should bother with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frobisher Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I saw a demo of this running in Game the other day. What happened to the revolutionary game that blew everyone away at E3? From what I could see it looked like just another 3rd person shooter. Still nothing to get me enthusiastic about the new consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sie Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) What is actually different about it? GTA is the ultimate sandbox game but this just looks like a boring, prettier version of it. The hacking feature is it's USP. If that doesn't appeal to you, it's probably not a game you should bother with. From what I have seen, they've completely failed to establish how the hacking stuff isn't just more typical paper-thin context sensitive Ubisoft "press A to do thing" bullshit. I think they've talked it up well beyond what it actually is AKA the same shit they pulled with the original Assassins Creed. Even the reveal, way back when, didn't get me excited and they've not done much more to sell it to me. In fact Ubisoft have done their best to make the game look progressively worse. I can't help be feel a lot of people are going to be very disappointed with Watchdogs. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it turns out to be amazing but I ain't giving them a penny for it until it's been reviewed.

P3te Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 hoping to have the game early next week, but not in the slightest bit excited about it tbh. it's had more downward revisions than villa's finances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I actually find GTA pretty boring. Hoping this is a little different and more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoD Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I'm very intrigued about how much depth there will actually be to the hacking element. Regardless I'll wait till the steam sale if its worth buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Seems like the delays may hurt this game a lot in terms of sales and such. The longer the wait has been, the more that has been seen/heard/changed and in turn I don't know anybody that is interested any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I think that the fact that still very little is out on the xbone and ps4 will drag it through, I'll see what the reviews are like and then decide how much I'm willing to pay for it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
