Watch Dogs’ Creative Director Jonathan Morin has been discussing lately the differences between the PC and the next-gen version of Watch Dogs on Twitter. According to Jonathan, the PC version will feature higher resolution effects (lighting effects, rain simulation, depth of field, particles system) than its next-gen console counterpart.
Although Jonathan said that the PS4 version that was demoed last week was close to the PC version, he admitted that the aforementioned effects will be rendered at a higher resolution on the PC, and that this difference in resolution will certainly make things prettier on the PC.
In addition, Jonathan claimed that the PC version looks stunning, that the trailer – and the hands-on event that took place last week – was on PS4, and that the PC version will be – in many regards – better than the E3 2012 build.
This is what Jonathan Morin had to say when a fan asked whether the PC version will be able to match the E3 2012 build that was showcased:
“In many regards better. We did not stop working and PC never stop to evolve.”
Moreover, Jonathan admitted that the latest Story trailer was never meant to wow gamers with its visuals as there was no way to match what the PC could do.
“Trailer wasn’t a good GFX reference. E3 2012 was PC as we always said and E3 2013 is PS4 reference. Was always the case”
This further proves that the PC version will be better – graphically – than its console brother, despite Jonathan claiming earlier that the NG version does come close to the PC.
So, why wasn’t the latest trailer of Watch Dogs showcased on the PC? That mystery remains unanswered. Perhaps Ubisoft wanted to boost the next-gen console version? For what is worth, Morin promised that more PC footage will be revealed prior to the game’s release.
When a fan asked whether Ubisoft would be releasing any PC gameplay footage for Watch Dogs, Jonathan replied and said that there will be:
“We are not making demos every day 🙂 But you will see PC HD footage again yes”
Watch Dogs is currently planned for a May 27th release on PC, next-gen and current-gen consoles!

Like i said,PS4 can’t max out this game with playable FPS and in 1080p.
Can’t wait for that PC footage.
They can do it, the question is will they release the PC version that’s the quality of the E3 video. If Black Flag is anything to go by then it might be so. Devs are more friendly to PC now days, Farcry3 had a UI patch, Thief is great on the PC with loads of options, Black Flag, Tomb Raider same.
Everyone knows that PS4 cant max out, well lets just say S*IT 😉
PS4 is crap, it’s that simple and should never been called nextgen and xbone heh, it’s even worse.
PS4 name should be PS3.5 couse thats exactly what it is.
Nowhere near a true nextgen machine, only a small upgrade.
Those dipshits at Sony / MS are ought to be ashamed for this crap called nexgen it’s that simple!
i guess that they just puted shitty hardware on those consoles because when x1 and ps4 got released spain and US were still in a economic crisis so they needed consoles to be cheap ,kind of a stupid decition if you ask me since it will perjudice hurt the entire generation
Never will understand the mentality of gaming device pickers. Load knows you didn’t pay $399 ( Dual Shock 4 is $60 of that ) for your system. We all know why PC comes out on top as it’s forever changing internals users do….. more money more money. But it’s also funny how Ubisoft has parented with Sony and given Sony exclusive DLC for this game. This game has been shown on the PS4 throughout the year as well. I got to see it last year at PAX, The PS4 players are going to totally love it as well. On their big flat panel TV’s with a theater surround sound.
Ubisoft went with PS4 because of the money, it’s the only way to sell more consoles yet still will be worse than the PC version. Big TV, sound system is irrelevant or shall we add that to the cost of a console to get 1080?
People upgrade their PC for a better experience when they want.
More money? Yeah, a lot of PC gamers fork over a lot of money. There’s often, but not always a higher upfront cost. Depending on gaming habits though, those losses can be recouped within a year or two. Hell, I spent over a grand on games over a few years for my console, but I have over 3 times as many games at a quarter of the cost on my PC.
You build a PC and you game inexpensively. You buy a console and you game sparingly because you don’t have inexpensive access to hundreds of games.
oh look its dan posting his nonsense again.
149$ card runs bf4 better than ps4, keep talking about money, pc is just supeior hardware end of story.
But not everyone has a GPU capable of outperforming a next gen console. In fact MOST PC gamers have machines that are WEAKER THAN PS4/Xbone, LMAO how pathetic!
http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Steam-Survey-Most-PC-Gamers-Have-Weaker-PCs-Than-PS4-Xbox-One-58833.html
why did you post that pathetic outdates article?
it was proven wrong in comments also macbooks playing 2d indie games dont count.
It was proven back then that 40% had more powerfull systems than next gen consoles
http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/
Now it is proven that 50% have more powerfull systems and that number is growing.
But a PC also needs a motherboard, CPU, Windows etc to run games, not just a GPU… You can’t just slap $149 in any PC and expect it to outperform a PS4. lol
No you can slap that on a average pc and it will work. Eg what you use now.
Best choice is to do a 400$ upgrade on your current pc. Thats the thing about pc, you dont buy a new one, you upgarde and no mp fees make everything cheaper in the long run.
Sonymites on certain gaming wasteland sites still think PS4 is on par with newest PC tech lol. They say that if PS4 doesn’t look identical to PC then it is gimped by the Xbox one.
Yeah I read about it over at Sony heaven aka N4G, thats the worst Sony fanboys their is.
So many idiots all around heh, stupid f*ckers 🙂
Only a small update? WTF are you talking about??
PS3/360 were high end in 2005/06 (FACT), PS4/X1 arent high end in 2014 (they cant keep up with modern PCs from today) but PS4/X1 are still much more powerful than PS3/360.
“PS3/360 were high end in 2005/06 (FACT)”
Well ps4 is midrange and xbone is low end that is the problem.
Thats what I said, X1 is maybe not low end (Wii U is low end).
Its still a big update if you count only consoles (x360 vs X1, PS3 vs PS4 etc) but at the same time, its not enough to compete with high end PCs
keep telling that to yourself
don’t need to be the BAD jalous guy ,be happy for us ,and admit your bad inversion ,you bought a 400$ “next-gen” console ,and you got awful graphics
we got a much better version and IS OK the that annoys you ,but you don’t need to lie to yourself
you can always autoconvice with the order and infamous ^^
their last games looked better on the final version ,i think that its due the geforce aliance
In a lter comment you said you play on PC? I find that hard to believe if you think the FC3 2011 reveal was better than maxed out PC release.
Don’t get your hopes up for that awesome PC footage. It will look almost exactly like the PS4 version. “Consolization” is real, and the last gen assets of Watch Dogs is plaguing the new consoles too. You’re an idiot if you actually think the PC version will blow away the PS4 version. It will be marginally better, because no developer is going to max out a GTX Titan or RX290 when only 1% of PC gamers own one, LOL.
http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Steam-Survey-Most-PC-Gamers-Have-Weaker-PCs-Than-PS4-Xbox-One-58833.html
Wasn’t this obvious? I don’t understand all the recent controversy.
Because it’s ad-click bait. A loose-topic is fired off out into the ether, and the not-so coherent minds on the internet do all of the work for them, Cha-ching!
Out of all the recent news released about this game, all people are talking about are the graphics…
I hazard the response developers will get out of this.
As long as it’s not another “Aliens” situation, then I’m fine with how it looks so far. But then, I will be playing the PC version.
ACM PC Final version (1.4) can kick BF4 in pretty much everything. Too bad the console version was so poor that the hate bandwagon had already went out of control by that point and it was “cool” to hate ACM.
ACM PC Final version (1.4) can kick BF4 in pretty much everything. Too bad the console version was so poor that the hate bandwagon had already went out of control by that point and it was “cool” to hate ACM in a sudden. Who in the media dares to have a different opinion?!
FC3 was brilliant. Please enlighten me.
Apparently people play with shit so often, that they end up getting used to it.
You apparently didnt play FC3 maxed out on PC, did you?
I don’t play games just so I can max out graphics, if the game is terrible. Then the game is terrible.
All the characters friends and himself deserve to be shot in the head, I deleted and uninstalled within 10 minutes. Not even these so called graphics could save a boring experience. Same goes for all the crysis games.
Yeah I saw a video that lied to its viewers. The final PC product was fantastic and incredible beautiful and gorgeous. If anything this may have been the console version but it wasnt the version I played maxed out.
For some it may be.
future soldier is even worse.
Lets hope there will be a PC 2014 comparison trailer soon.
i want to believe?
Fair enough, I mean if it’s anything like Black Flag’s quality then I’ll be pleased, that is stunning on the PC just not very well optimised on the CPU side.
That I can agree on, the PC version of Black Flag is nothing short of beautiful so I’m pretty sure Watch Dogs will look amazing as well, it’s true about CPU optimization though so I really hope they can get their sh** together!
If he’s lying, well, it’s a death sentence. I mean, players are already on edge after the latest trailer.
I have bad times believing in you Ubisoft, so here’s an idea, If you want me to look like a fool, please do so exceding my expectations.
http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view/423436/arnold-o.gif
Watchoo u talkin’ bout Guest?
xD
Didn’t express myself very well, what I mean is that If I was to be fooled that they do so showing me that I’m wrong, otherwise they are just giving me reason to bash.
Im pretty sure Jackson was making a reference to a show.
haha I know, only replyed because I am bad expressing myself and interpreting comments on internets 😐
but but ubisoft insists that it was real and nothing was faked, why dont you believe ubisoft?
Oh thats right because they lie alot.
I don’t believe until I see some trailers its a ubisoft studio we are talking about
And most devs just blows smoke and talk out their as*.
So lets see it thats correct. I for one wont belive it until it’s out on the Pc. But I guess it will be downgraded as the weak consoles allready drags down pc gaming and YES that is the new s*hit nextgen my as*!
like i said. PC game will be AWESOME… AND DX 12 🙂
When has it not? That’s the major advantage of PC gaming but Sony’s exclusives look damn good too.
This game will be 11 tho i assume. But i hope 12 will hop in quickly. PC isn’t like 10 years ago when consoles came out , when you had to have a latest beast to be able to catch them up. Today average PC is already better than new consoles and it’s getting stronger.
don’t lie to us. it is a lie until they show an actuall gameplay for the PC’s final build NOW.
i knew it!!! today i woke up and readed ign ,i was mad all the week because of that downgrade until a guy showed me the geforce page and i saw pc footage and screenshots
YYEEEEAAAAAAHHHH ,MY BODY IS READY THE HYPE IS GROWING UP!!!!!11!111!!!!1
I’ll believe it when I see it . They say the same every time before the release of PC version . In the end it turns out to be unoptimized garbage which looks worse than E3 .
So many reasons not to buy this game…Uplay DRM, Refusal to show up to date PC footage and the old Far Cry 3 incident. Looks like The Witcher 3 for me..Even if I have to wait until 2015. DRM and politics free. CD ProjectRED for life.
Get your act together Ubisoft..you are starting to look and sound like EA….
As I said after people started complaining about the recent trailer, I have every confidence in the world that the PC version will look way better than any other version…not because some dev tells me, but because I already saw it in person running on an NVIDIA-powered PC. My eyes are the only source I need.
So they look nearly the same the PC just has higher res effects, okay.
The PS4 version will look just as good or better than E3 2013, and it looked fantastic there, so I’m very excited.
Keep telling that to yourself 🙂
That’s what this article and the creative director said 🙂
Think before looking stupid 🙂
as @madbads said, keep telling that to yourself :)))) and keep believing anything they say. stupid consolefags lol
Who doesn’t love playing a game with incredibly short draw distances. Your PS4 can barely handle 1080p at 30 fps, meanwhile I will be playing on 1440p at 60+ fps. these “next gen” consoles cannot handle the raw power than PC’s have. A $150 gpu has more power than a “next gen” console.
Yeah those “next gen” trashboxes are pathetic, x360 was actually quite powerfull on release, wtf happened?
well since console fanboys are tryin to point out diffirencies on a game running between x360 and ps3 when they look identical, i dont see how the pc version having higher resolution, more fps, better textures and lighting and nvidia exlusive effects is any less relevant.
There is a reason why Watch Dogs PC requirements are really high because this version is the best looking by far. All the recent footage has been from pathetic consoles.
Oh look, another rabid PC d-bag who wants to be condescending.
Good thing consoles are around so PC can still get AAA games, seeing as how sales for PC are abysmal
For your information this game was designed for PC then ported to all consoles. True facts from Ubisoft.
Not joining in on you kids and your “console vs pc war”, but just want to let you know about a well known fact. All games for consoles are designed first on the PC.
Yes ,but with Watch_Dogs they took full advantage of pc high end hardware and make the pc version from the ground instead of focus on consoles and port to pc.
And thats why the console version will get crushed….really hard…oh yeah
Link? Yeah, I thought not. Enjoy your consolized PC Watch Dogs with severely downgraded assets. Remember, the game also comes out for 360/PS3 and Wii U lol. You can bet that it wasn’t just the next gen console versions that were downgraded…Consolitis, something PC gamers suddenly forgot about, rofl.
So then why does Enslaved: Journey to the West for PC look like a console game? And yeah I know it also came out on consoles…

Sales???
eh what? pc is the only system that is growing, 50% of devs work on pc and everything comes to pc. Ea has admited they make more money on pc.
The AAA industry is a joke, it needs restructure because all it is now is a bunch of crappy games getting hyped and still FAIL to get sucessfull sales on consoles.
When only sleeping dogs gets 1.5 million sales on 160 million + of ps3 and x360s and every game struggles to get 3 million sales, you got no point bashing pc sales.
Hell cliffy b, ken levine, peter molyneux all left consoles and AAA to got to pc and indie games.
Well of course EA do, they probably make all that money just on The Sims. Have you seen how many add-on packs that game gets, how much they cost, and how little content they actually provide?
That cannot be said for every publisher.
what other publishers you are reffering? Activision who is printing money with cod on consoles? Ubisoft who sucks on pc or capcom and square enix who used to make money on japan with their games and now they are all over the place.
They all left consoles to make shitty indie games that the PC users will eat up on Steam sales, lol. Not because PC actually sells better in the AAA games space…
“shitty indie games”
You do reallize that those indie games ae the future because AAA games are too expensvie and samey?
Thats why sony is going after indies too.
The PC doesn’t have to sell games to be relevant, unlike your console which is a toaster, can’t toast bread it’s a brick.
you dont say? crysis 3 even on the lowest settings still has better graphics than the console version, now thats pathetic.
LOL Okay, now try running Crysis 3 on a GPU from 2005, and see how it stacks up to the Xbox360, moron.
are you stupid or something? Crysis 3 even on the lowest settings lools better than the console versions that is because crytek choose to use dx11 as the basis of the pc version. So if you run crysis 3 on the lowest settings thanks to dx11 it still looks better than consoles.
Check youtube comparisons.
You must be slow, so I’ll speak in layman’s terms for you. Why don’t you put together a PC with ALL parts from late 2005 (motherboard, CPU, GPU), and see if it will run Crysis 3. Compare that PC’s performance with an Xbox360’s performance on the same game. Come back and talk to me after you learn comprehension.
*PS- Of course a PC from today will outperform a LAST GEN console, even on lowest settings. The PS3/360 are 8 and 9 years old respectively. Now stop being such a nit-wit.
You must be a idiot, so ill say it again,
THE PC VERSION HAS SUPERIOR GRAPHICS AND PERFOMANCE THAN THE X360/PS3 VERSIONS EVEN AT THE LOWEST SETTINGS.
So no you donT “outperfom” anything, you are playing the crappy x360 version while the pc is playing the next gen ps4 version, GET IT?
Also this gen will be 6 years tops.
Now stop being a dumb F@ggot
If you look at my comment, I had ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT A NEW PC ON LOWEST SETTINGS OWNS THE 360 VERSION, IDIOT. I wasn’t disputing that. But I asked you to BUILD A PC FROM LATE 2005 PARTS AND SEE HOW WELL IT RUNS CRYSIS 3 COMPARED TO THE XBOX360, YOU F’ING FOOL. THE 360 > A LATE 2005 PC, THAT WAS MY ONLY POINT, AND YOU STILL HAVEN’T GRASPED IT YET. JEEZ, YOU ARE THICK!
Hi ,i’ll try to explain it to you
You’re saying that you want to see if a pc with 2005 hardware can run crysis 3 becuase Xbox 360 is from 2005 and run it crysis 3 but what you are forgetting is: Crysis 3 on last gen consoles might have the same scripts and maps ,but it definelly doesn’t have the same assets and (of course) graphics features ,the pc version of crysis 3 is 100% Next-Gen since if you max it out ,it will look better than killzone shadow fall ,so if you ask him to run C3 on 2005 hardware is just like say : “Can you run the division with 2005 hardware?” “Can you run the witcher 3 with 2005 hardware?”
of course you won’t ,but it was never the target ,the last gen version of crysis 3 only exists because they already had crysis 1 and 2 and those were the only consoles at the moment so they put the same scripts and maps and there you got : crysis 3 for xbox and ps3.
while with the pc version they took advantage of the 2013 HW to create a real next gen graphical fidelity level ,pc and console version were developed waaay different.
Not true, because people still have DX9 or DX10 GPU’s on their PC’s. Only a small percent of PC gamers have a beastly rig, you know. The assets such as poly counts are largely the same between the 360 and PC version. Although of course the 360 version is missing DX11 tessellation and post processing effects like MSAA, lower anisotropic settings, lower texture/screen resolution etc. It’s the same game, just prettier on PC.
Ok so first off ,i realized that you don’t have any clue what are you talking about.
also the poly count between the xbox and pc version is veeeeery different buddy.
also MSAA is not a post-processing effect ,you could count it as a filter but is not a post process
also ,what is not true is what you said about the dx gpus ,most of the people have been using dx11 cards for years ,the 5770 – gts450 were one of the best selled cards and you dont need a beastly rig ,with a gtx 460 you could run it on medium with high textures on 1080p and not drop below 30fps.
believe me is not the same at all ,don’t try to fool yourself.
The Xbox360 has DX9 hardware with certain DX10 features. It is a computer in essence. A lot of assets are the same between the PC version and Xbox360 version, such as poly counts on buildings, certain objects, certain character models etc. The PC version is not entirely different, it’s just at much higher settings (assuming you have capable hardware). Only the DX11 settings adds tessellation, parrallax mapping etc. IT’S THE SAME GAME BUT DIFFERENT SETTINGS. The fact remains that 2005 PC hardware CANNOT TOUCH the Xbox 360, so in that repect the 360 is better than PC’s from THE SAME TIME PERIOD. BUT OF COURSE CRYSIS 3 RUNNING LOW SETTINGS ON A GAMING RIG FROM 2014 IS GOING TO LOOK BETTER THAN THE 360 VERSION, EVERYONE AND THEIR F’ING GRANDMA KNOWS THAT. DERP.
The point is that a PC from 2005 can’t run the game on the lowest settings.
cuz dx11 makes the lowest settings looks better than the console version DUHHHH
Yes, the lowest setting on PC looks better than the Xbox 360 version because the hardware needed to run the lowest setting is better than the Xbox 360 hardware. That is fairly obvious. It basically makes the whole argument pointless because at this point we are basically arguing over the fact that superior hardware will run games better.
The one “advantage” that the Xbox 360 has though is that you don’t have to upgrade your hardware because the developers optimize(make the visuals worse) to run on the outdated hardware. Although on the flip side, you don’t have the ability to upgrade it until Microsoft decides they want to release a new console.
duhh thats the idea if you want to say with outdated graphics stick to consoles, seriously wtf?
“Pathetic consoles” with DX11 or equivalent? You’re a complete moron if you think the PC version of Watchdogs will be any better than the PS4 version, besides higher resolution assuming you actually have a decent gaming rig. Maybe an ENB mod will upgrade it to E3 2012 level, but the vanilla version of Watch Dogs PC will be lackluster do to “consolization”.
*BTW, I bought a dev version of Oculus and it is rather garbage. Even the “crystal cove” Oculus has terrible image quality, I bet Sony’s VR will be better by far.
DERP! COD: Ghosts on PC had really high requirements, and it looks like dog $#!%. Try again.
*Keep telling yourself that Ubisoft isn’t downgraded king, and maybe your PC version won’t end up consolized like every other Ubi game, lol.
Enjoy your “superior” graphics. Aww, what? The ps4 version runs the game on high at only $400 dollars without crashes, driver issues, or thousands of dollars being piled into an inanimate object? Oh, right. Sorry about your downgrade by the way. It’s a shame you couldn’t make the “PEE SHE MASHTUR RASCH” look better.
Sif you would bother to replay to 3 month old post…
AFAIK, Ubisoft is always PC-oriented. PC is their primary development environment because the ease of development. They always depends on PC’s raw power. Their console port is just a simple port.
“We are optimizing games for console, too” — I never actually believe this part. What I believe, they just reduce assets size.
CMIIW.
is not the i don’t believe it ,i do ,but could someone put the link of the tweet when he states
“In many regards better. We did not stop working and PC never stop to evolve.”
i founded the other 2 tweets i just cant find that one
For people deluded enough to somehow believe Ubisoft, and assume that the PC is immune to any downgrades, you might want to look at this Far Cry 3 video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqnAbRpyqfI
Dont know what you are trying to pull here but that right side is NOT what I had when I played it maxed out.
True but future soldier looks like a ps2 game on consoles where the pc version is on par with current releases.
CLAP CLAP CLAP yeah back to that sony dck licking site called dualshockers, the rest of us can play on 1080p with decent fps. When console games save the sinking AAA industry, THEN they should talk about “pathetic” pc sales.
Hell cliffy b, ken levine, peter molyneux all left consoles and AAA to got to pc and indie games
Because of these consoles graphics are downgraded 😀
PS 4 fan boys never claimed to have better graphics , but if you believe you can build a better rig for the price of a ps4 and that includes os ,box and everything ,you’re a fool,besides developers evolve to make games look better over time,whereas with PC you have to keep upgrading,but honestly PC will always have better graphics,personally I just enjoy Sony exclusives like unchartered etc.
“whereas with PC you have to keep upgrading”
Keep upgrading ?! If you want to play every game at 1440p with max settings and 4x 60fps then sure you will keep upgrading. However, you don’t need to keep upgrading if you don’t mind playing games below max settings or 30 fps. Consoles will never match PC games at max settings anyway.
7 years old video card such 8800GTX can still run most modern games like battlefield 4 on lower settings.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtXRKUj_fGc
I think the SteamOS with steambox attached to Tv can be quite close.
actually if you google 400$ pc beats ps4 you got something going but i feel your argument is irrelevant.
A 400$ upgrade on a current pc utterly destroys ps4, now if you are NOT a pc gamer you propably gonna stick to consoles for sony exlusives like you said.
Still you pay more on consoles with higher prices and mp fees.
The belief pc doesnt get optimized is wrong, the 8800GTX from 2005 can still run titanfall.
Games are optimized on pc as well, its not just consoles.
The 149$ 750 ti runs bf4 better than ps4.
Will that card run as well as ps4? No because its barelly a gaming gpu. But pc hardwre is so far ahead at this point and the apis are so evolved that pc hardware will blatantly run better than console hardware due to being more powerfull. Back then they had their own architectures, now they are cheap pcs so they dont have that edge when it comes to optimization.
After 4 years any game on console basicly looks like crap so playing the pc version on meduim is already a superior looking game.
So what is going on is this
year 1) hardware is not utilized.
year 2) they utilize hardware a bit
year 3) they well optimize and utlize everything
year 4) console hardware shows its age and its always inferior to the pc version
year 5) completly maxing out everything and no improvements are made any further
Year 6-7) games look dated and often run on horrible settings compared to pc
It was like that since the first playstation.
These are just the first few waves of games & future waves of games will be optimized more efficiently & be able to squeeze out more fidelity with visuals,ai,physics,audio,gameplay ect..from these consoles overall raw capabilities then previous waves of games were able to do.
Cheers Gamers & Happy Gaming!
I know towards the end of these consoles productive life cycles that developers with eventually exhausted out ways to utilize the consoles further & these consoles will run out of steam but in the meantime why not enjoy what they have to offer.
However i am fully aware that pc has near limitless upgradability & can perform beyond what consoles are capable of but consoles still manage to hold their own well in the core gaming market regardless.
To be fair that i5 is helping with 8GB of RAM a lot with CPU heavy games, you just wouldn’t buy like that in a real situation.
“Targeting” is the keyword in the title of that article. This doesn’t confirm PC is the lead platform, and there have been many other instances where the PC was supposedly the lead platform and it turned out bogus. The game will still share assets from the console versions, because Ubisoft has track record of targeting higher settings in it’s game reveals, and then retailing a completely worse looking product. Of course, after mods and such, the PC version will maybe eventually look like the 2012 E3 reveal demo. But don’t think for a second that Watchdogs PC is immune to consolitis/consolization.
You fool ,THEY’VE STATED OFFICIALLY THAT A WHILE AFTER.
