Watch Dog to have "gloriously graphical detail and animation"

[TheSlamma]

You guys really need to look into Anvil engine.. that thing is an outdated POS. It produces great screenshots but the actual in game just looks and plays like crap.

Try out Assassins creed 1-3, this game will have all the same attributes. Consolized rehashes from hell and beyond.

If it's like AC3 then good, because I like AC3.

Also, are you aware that we're not looking at screenshots?

Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood were excellent games (haven't played Revelations or 3 yet); great artwork and direction, great gameplay, interesting storyline and a real sense of being a total badass. And, not only did it look nice, it played beautifully on my system, never dipping below 60 FPS maxed out. If you're using that as an example of why the game engine is bad, you're making the exact opposite point you're intending.

404- Glorious graphical detail not found. This is GTA with some filters thrown on it and the ENBseries stuff.

Don't buy into the hype. You won't see true graphics updates until the hardware changes. Software engineers aren't magicians, the they've had 7 years to squeeze performance out of the PS360 and now they're making sacrifices like putting a 128x128 resolution skybox in Farcry 3 to rearrange where the detailed assets are.

Remember how amazed you were when you saw Gears of War for the first time? How you KNEW a new generation of graphics had arrived and the PS2 could never have rendered? Yeah, that's glorious, and it's not going to happen until hardware gets revamped.

Good thing this is the PC thread then.

Maybe he's lost?

This game actually looks pretty cool. The only thing that worries me is UbSh*t being the publisher. I don't want to sign up for their shitty Uplay system and I would imagine that's going to be required to play this game. If that turns out to be the case (which is highly probable i'd say) i'll skip this one on PC and just end up buying it for the 360 or something once it gets cheap enough.

This is a multiplatform game, aren't multiplatform games designed with the least common denominator in mind?

FarCry3 on the PC (which is the one I played) had that shitty skybox I was talking about.

Agreed. Uplay is BS, it took me a week to get FC3 to run and I still haven't been able to make Hawx 2 run. Tried everything I could think of except installing on C and I'll be damned before I move steam back to primary drive. Their support is annoying with their generic answers and when they ask you for diagnosis they just fish for excuses like too old or too new GPU drivers or whatever else they think they can blame the issue on. Luckily they ruined the good IP they had over the years, so R6 and SC don't appeal to me like they used to.

I do remember Watch Dog from E3 and it was one of the few games I was looking forward to. Hopefully they ruin that too so that I don't get tempted to buy it/to deal with uplay again.

They are probably doing two "versions", an Xbox 360/PS3/Wii U version, and a PC/PS4 version, which means there will be some upgrades to the PC version, such as almost guaranteed higher detail models and textures.

Lots of games have come out on multiple platforms which were seriously different, such as PS3 and PS2 or Xbox 360/PS3 and Wii, and the older version has been different (often finished by a different studio) to the "higher end" version.

Given that this will be an early PS4 title, it's almost certain they will be pushing the system as of now, and not realeasing a crappy port of the PS3/360 version.
They will also (probably) be using the PS4 version as the base of the PC version, as it's almost certainly being developed on a straight up PC, which means the PC benefits significantly from this being a PS4 game.

Ignore the PS3/360 element, as it probably won't impact the PC version of the game that much, unless Ubisoft do something completely stupid (which is possible, but I would give them the benefit of the doubt with this particular title).

Yeah, Uplay is bloatware at best, and that's when it's actually working correctly. Why they require it for single player games is beyond me as it adds nothing to the experience from what i've seen. But then again, this is the same publisher that required an always online internet connection to play single player games up until recently..

Amazing, looks truly next-gen. I have not been that impressed since Crysis.

My computer is not gonna like this game.

 

[Stringjam]

This doesn't look "next gen" at all to me. Characters still look like cartoons with that same ugly FarCry3 looking skin.

There are current gen games that are way ahead of this stuff.

What character in this game has even close to this level of detail?

And this is supposedly "next-gen" eye-popping graphic quality?

I don't really care either way. Looks like it could be a good game, but I don't see what the fuss is over the supposed incredible graphic quality.

The animation, lighting, and materials work in that 60-FPS BF4 trailer actually look like next-gen to me, and that is still running on this gen hardware and engine technology.

I'm glad to see animation improve. I think that is actually more important than a lot of the trivial graphical improvements and especially more important than all this dynamic DoF, lens-flare, post-process stuff. Animation quality adds SO MUCH to the immersion factor of the game.

The trailers and E3 gameplay is always an ornate eye-candy, but the version that is released is always less than what people expect. It's the AC series engine, so I wouldn't expect anything revolutionary. On the other hand I don't care about graphics, but about gameplay, if it doesn't look as bad as Deathtrap Dungeon or Empire Earth, I don't care.
