Watch_Dogs… a game that a lot of people cricitized when it launched in 2014. And… well… can you really blame them? The game was nowhere close to what Ubisoft had been showing on its pre-release screenshots and trailers. However, and thanks to some mods, the PC version can still look gorgeous.
YouTube’s ‘Digital Dreams’ has shared the following the video, showcasing the game running with the Natural & Realistic Lighting mod. Furthermore, Digital Dreams has used Pascal “Marty McFly” Gilcher’s Reshade that adds support for post-process Ray Tracing effects.
The end result is quite amazing and shows the huge – graphical – potential of Watch_Dogs. Yes, nothing will come relatively close to those mind-blowing explosions. However, and thanks to mods, the game can now surpass some aspects of that vertical slice E3 demo.
You can download the Natural & Realistic Lighting Mod for Watch_Dogs from here.
Speaking of Watch_Dogs, I also suggest downloading and using the Living_City mod. This mod adds custom missions, random events, new hideouts, interiors & more. Basically, it expands the base game and is a must-have mod for all those that want to replay it. You can download Living_City mod from here.
Enjoy!

I don’t think so.?
that’s your problem senior diaz, you don’t even think.
HE FINALLY SAID SOMETHING NEGATIVE WOO HOO
Excellent. That would mean it looks EXCELLENT. Because you excel at being wrong.
EXCELSIOR!!!!
nothing in this world looks more amazing than me.
lol
That looks horrible in places I’ll stick to vanilla thanks.
And still doesnt look as good as the E3 demo, runs at the same framerate tho…
True
it looks as E3 demo with the mod that unlocks graphics locked by ubisoft
“the worse mod with maldo” is more than enough and looks better than second game
It does look great. Too bad that the gameplay is boring as hell.
Watch Dogs at Night and Rain is just amazing. It feels more gloomy dystopian than any other game so far, needs more neon though.
Yeah from the looks of it Watch Dogs le
gion takes care of that lack of neon
Yay!
It’s seems cool, I been thinking on replaying it, maybe this will make me play it
There’s 1 feature i loved about this game: Randomly Generated Sidequests when listening to people’s phone (like Jack Bauer/Burn Notice type of mini-ops).

Except when a Democrat’s in the White House.
Tell that to Edward Snowden lol.
In VR?? Is there something I haven’t heard about?
Still prefer this one over wokedog 2
The mods making the game looks good,but i dont like the night scene since its too dark. I like this watch dogs more than the sequel. It doesnt contain “weird” NPC and hidden propaganda like in WD2, also no quad layer DRM included like recent Ubisoft games 😀
MAN, you have such SHT taste in games.
Its mindblowing.
4k iconic hats
With the exception of the old school Tom Clancy titles of course. Those games were great for their time.
The giant circular shadows look ridiculous… People do NOT cast shadows that look like that!
