Guru3D’s member ‘SoloCreep’ has released a new mod for Watch_Dogs that adds anamorphic lens-flares; a feature that was present in the E3 build of Watch_Dogs but was removed from the final version. This is still a WIP project, but those interested can download the latest beta version of this mod from here. Enjoy some screenshots and videos below!

I think these all look very nice, I still haven’t bought it yet though.
Don’t ,it doesn’t worth more than 20$ ,but if you see it at 20$ don’t wait for it to get cheaper ,buy it.
I would go as high as $25. $30 is pushing the boundaries of regret.
I don’t like how they look at all. Way overdone…I mean the whole game not just the flares…Still not impressed by the visuals of Watch Dogs at all, even with mods just to clarify.
Good for the guy who did this but I don’t like how the whole composition looks…I mean take a look at the road when the cars are at 50 meters or so, it is like the cars have that massive 5/7 meters lens flare covering the whole street no matter the distance.
People should care about how things should look through your eyes in real life and not doing an “emulation” of what a camera “see”. It is like now we all see through camera lens instead of our own eyes.
I know this is an “artistic” element used in games and movies/media, maybe to “improve” the quality of what you see in the whole screen…But In my opinion, the most simple things are the ones who can give a game the better look (I’m talking about colour palette, textures, good anti aliasing, proper particle effects-not overdone but with collisions- and solid physics).
The guy did his job to bring back that added effect, so props to him.
(as usually my personal opinion)
Still waiting for the “Make the gameplay actually good” mod
Really? I thought the gameplay was solid enough. Which part of the gameplay?
I wouldn’t say it’s solid but it’s typical Ubisoft gameplay packaged in a different way. Everything is easy, you know where everything is. A lot of Ubiosft games 10 years ago would be considered cheats because they don’t want casual player to get frustrated laying on their sofas. I actually started liking the game until it got to a point where it was just repeated gameplay just copied from their other games like Assassins Creed and Farcry 3.
Quiet frankly I enjoyed AC4 Black Flag more despite it’s dumbed down gameplay, characters and locations are much better.
Hmm, yeah I guess it was pretty easy. And now that I think about it, it’s kind of strange that it is so. I mean, if the game was made for children it wouldn’t have had all the sex and violence, I don’t think.
All the games I play I think to myself, *would my eight year-old nephew like this?* Time and time again it was *dear lord this is NOT for children*. So why make the game so easy and casual if it’s mainly a game for adults?
Uhg, every time I think of W_D I like it a little bit less. It’s a strange thing to have fun with a game but not like it! I don’t know, maybe I’m just getting old.
Skyrim has a lot more violence, gory and that’s rated 15. They know under age players buy the game, the age rating just covers them. In Skyrim, the first scene has a beheading LOL.
lot of repetitive stuff just like from their previous ip right? 🙂
the driving suck by the way…hoping for someone to fix it
I’m glad for you. Hey, next time be specific about what you don’t like. Saying something just “sucks” doesn’t tell us anything useful.
Man , these guys really know how to waste their free time.. i mean.. trying to make this garbage look better wont really help it , its worst game ever
I’m amazed people bought into it still when it turned out it was the exact same gameplay template for every Ubisoft game since Assassins Creed 2. Activate a tower to see more of the map. Do side missions consisting of collectathons. Main plot is the really side-missions with story reasons.
But of course, console peasants bought into it. Next gen starts here. Etc, etc.
Next we have to remind them that Destiny is just Serious Biz Borderlands.
haha right.. and also add some halo and cod into the mix, perfect peasant amusement.. but yea, the marketing is what sold that piece of crap, nothing else.
Destiny has Activision’s stinky fingers in that pie and massive development trouble all over it (Never mind Marty O’ Donnell, no one noticed the Lead Design and Lore Writer, Joe Staten left for Microsoft Studios?). I’d like to see the inevitable PC version as it already leaked on Steam database for a brief moment (And Activision immediately got steam to nuke it) and while it looks basic. I’d love to see what it’s running like on PC at 60FPS.
Mind you, I’m hitting re-fresh like an idiot on my inbox since I signed up for the Crew beta and I’m dying for a good racing MMO. Sometimes Ubi-Shit can get their hooks into you. I’ll inevitably be disappointed (Rumors it has 30FPS lock on PC) but better to get it out of the way with a Beta than paying for a full game.
hey me too lol , still no key here. it will be really dumb if locked at 30, hope its just rumors , its like they don’t want PC users to buy their games
i dont know we supposed to call this things garbage or what..
but atleast this modders effort are not
Maybe they just want some training you know, before the GTA release. After that poor sick doggy will be put to sleep.
Graphics ain’t gonna make this better then GTAV. Mods might…
SoloCreep did a fairly good job of bring back this effect.
