Okay everyone, this is what most of you have been waiting for. We got to see what Watch_Dogs looks during daylight but the game was advertised as a title that benefits during rainy nights. So, NeoGAF’s member ‘twisted89’ decided to capture some screenshots under those ‘best-case-TOD’ scenarios to give us a glimpse of what the PC version looks like. Enjoy!

Still crap graphics!
“Half-Life 3” & “Left 4 Dead 3” Confirmed : http://www.twitch.tv/gorgntv/c/4263036?t=33m55s And this game looks like nothing they show us… Fail!!!
We already knew but until Gabe says himself , it doesn’t matter .
Praise GabeN. May Half Life 3 be upon fellow brethren.
Amen!
Just not feeling the screenshots, E3 video still looks considerably better IMHO.

I agree with you 100%
yes, and by a lot. been plain the leaked version (i have it pre ordered) and the e3 is just miles ahead. the game looks fine, but not good. only at night and with rain does it stand out, looks really washed out during the day.
And yet the E3 2012 footage is mostly at dusk and at night.
I knew this was gonna happen, e3 2012 version does not exist. It is like it a whole different engine all together.
It was merely a tech demo which I bet the map wasn’t even as big so they could have packed in a lot more detail for the E3 2012 show, but a few years later once they had a fully fledged map they probably realized it was running way to slow for both PC and Consoles so they started cutting back on lighting, effects, detail & population etc.
yeah, that was way better than final build s**t. these days all the announcement trailers,pre release footages and alpha/beta builds are better than finished product, atleast in videos. yet they are people that saying, it’s early or it’s beta, wait for full game and it will get better etc, but it’s really opposite
The only exception that I can think of is Witcher….that game looks exactly how it is presented and looks in screenshots! That was the case with Witcher 2 and will be same for Witcher 3….
The missing effects are the dinamic foggy weather ,the high postprocess and the bokeh dof ,which ,by the way ,make a huge difference.
nice avatar dude :*
Uh no, that doesn’t look considerably better. Maybe slightly better. The game looks great in person. I don’t get the hard ons some of you seem to have for that E3 2012 footage. It looked amazing at the time because we had never seen an open world game look anything like that, but the final game does indeed look fairly similar and is quite enjoyable from a visual perspective.
Finally! A voice of reason! Thank you sir! The E3 2012 build is NOT that impressive looking back on it now! People always seem to think back at things and remember them a lot better than they actually are! This game looks great and very close to target goal which all that E3 2012 demo ever was, it was never a promise that this is what the game would look like for sure so let’s stop pretending that UBI promised us that the game would look exactly like that and failed to deliver because that’s simply not true.
The game was built up around its story and not its graphics, that was US that hyped the f-ck out of the graphics, not UBI! So if it doesn’t look as good as you hoped it would be then that’s your own damn fault! It still looks as good as I expected it to look and I can’t wait to get my hands on it, and I am willing to bet that most of the people that think it doesn’t look as good from viewing it on the internet videos and screenshots will be surprised it looks a lot better in person.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BftYjgIouUA well…fuck
wow…besides a resolution boost, and slightly better shadows, this looks exactly like the ps4 ver, why am I not surprised.
If the game really looks like this in motion , then I’m going to be extremely disappointed .
Sigh … Get ready for Division’s downgrade .
Hopefully not since it will not be held back by last gen.
” it will not be held back by last gen.” Come on man .
PS4/X1 aren’t anything special either . Can’t even run linear games like BF4 at 1080p .
Well I guess we will find out at e3 or eventually. One way or the other the truth will come out, just like it did here.
That’s not the best place to find it out, since it’s where the bullshit was started…
The bullshit starts at E3 because, the game pretty much never looks like when they release the final game.
Sony and Microsoft are falling over each other to do something about that with updates, Microsoft is even removing Kinect and using API updates because they’re so desperate.
Console users still think PS4 has some super power locked away and Sony will unlock it in a firmware patch when needed. LoL
hahaahahahah
Take your pills.
Only deranged fanboys keep chewing their own legs off screaming about “PS4 peasants”.
Says the phychopath who goes around and spams people and calls them delusional mentall ill and decides that
they are xbots out of the blue and spams EVERY SINGLE message of theirs even irrelevant to the topic, just
becuase UNLIKE YOU they dont take their ps4 to bed and lick its plastic.
Some of us have real girlfriends and kiss them, not ps4, some of us have real lifes, we dont spend all day
scouting the internet for people that dont agree with our sony c3m licking opinion and spam them and bully
them and call them mentalyl ill delusional and always wrong, some of us check those sites to talk about
games.
Yet i have never see you talk about games, becuase you dont care about games, you dont play games, you have
a high end pc as you claim and you use it to spam people and post hate sh3t and you care more about sony
not appearing anything less than the savior of the human race and bash and discredit the “heretics” who
dont agree with your mentally f3cked in the head opinion and have the “audacity” to not like the same
plastic box as much as you do.
Now please go stroke your d3ick over your ps4 and go check if anyone doubts sonys finacials like say THE
F3CKING ANALYSTS WHO ARE INTO THIS KIND OF BUSINES and go and lose sleep and time of your life to defend
sony like the ilsam fanatics defend their pathetic releigion.
lmao :)) yeah 16GB more ram will unlock by frimware update
PC and PS4 are different markets with different pros and cons. PS4 has price/performance and simplicity, PCs have a higher potential performance, but generally more expensive and requires time and knowledge to buy, build, and maintain one.
PS4 is comparable to a mid range PC at 1.84TF. PS4 has some interesting architecture benefits over traditional split CPU/GPU split memory pool PCs, and other customizations. For $400 you get a lot of price/performance, more than a $400 PC would get you. PS4 is better than most PCs. PS4 will have lots of good exclusives, both console only and PS4 only.
Xbox/PC fanboys seem to be on a war on people too poor or unwilling/unable to spend time and money buying, building, and maintaining a PC. Mustard race claiming they can afford multi-thousand dollar PCs but too poor to buy a $200-400 console.
Both PS4 and Xbox will have good exclusive games, high end PCs are best for multiplatform games if you have the time, money, and effort to build and maintain one. Only deranged fanboys keep chewing their own legs off screaming about “PS4 peasants”.
They can’t run BF4 like next gen should because it’s still a last gen game. You seriously think it has no difference to make a game to platforms with at least 4 times more power and even more memory? I don’t think division is going to get downgraded the same way but it’s possible. But the first videos always look rather good.
It’s “held back” by the vast majority of PCs that are actually weaker than next gen consoles.,
from what i read on youtube, it runs like crap, surprise surprise everyone
Seriously downgraded, thanks to the new shitty consoles. Funny thing is, this “new generation” is just started.
It’s “held back” by the vast majority of PCs that are actually weaker than next gen consoles.
Users with weaker configurations can lower the graphics options, you know. Just imagine what will happen if console peasant will find out that PC version is far superior? Ubisoft simply cannot let that happen, because Watch Dogs, Sony and Ubi are tied since the first presentation on E3 2012.
I’ll get it when it goes down to $5. I’m not paying full price for console graphics.
Ok i just ask my friend with 3930k and GTX TITAN(non-black) and on max out it works with 30-40 FPS and it dips below 30 on some certain area’s …….even on medium-high it drops mid 35-ish with 337.82 Nvidia beta driver
PS : The games it self looks amazing he send me some screenshots its kinda Crysis 3 on a open world game.
yep, it runs like crap on 4770k, 8gb ram and titan balck too. lags and sttuters. there is a Day one patch but not for now, it’s for may 27th. and it wont stress his CPU at all. but looks like he figured it out, it was related to texture option, ultra means 4K, he changed it to high (but everything else on max) and it seems the lag and frame drop fixed, not all the way but…
Indeed i have to agree with you my friend put GPU buffer to 1 and 2x TXAA and the stutter was gone but the FPS drops mid 20 it was like ****
So with no driver ready and no updates and patches
Watch_Lags anyone?
I’m still buying it, as I like the look of the multiplayer and I can buy it for only £25 🙂
lol the best part of the video. Is the lady just chilling in her car as it ignites into flames and explodes. What was she THINKING!? GET OUT!
