Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Ubisoft: Watch_Dogs will run at 900p on PS4 and 792p on XB1, both at 30fps
- Thread starter nynt9
- Start date
oh wow
See what we're gonna do is we're gonna downgrade it first. Then we are going to upgrade the downgrade. Then we're gonna upgrade the downgrade again and put up our pre-order page ... blah blah some mumbo jumbo about PS4 is the only way to play - the kids will love it! We will blast it all over Social media or whatever those kooky kids are using these days even get "Official Sounding" media organisations to spread the word 1080p60fps ... ... then BLAM!! we will downgrade the upgrade, maybe even downgrade the downgrade. It will be too late, because once you tell a lie enough times they will believe it.
You still with me boss? We're gonna be rich!

So PC Master Race people, curious as to how many of you are rocking this to get 1080p/60fps:
-Intel Core i7-3930K/AMD FX-9370
-Latest DirectX 11 graphics card with 2 GB Video RAM or more (Nvidia GTX 670/AMD Radeon HD 7970)
Because yeah. Not everyone has that. An i7 is recommended.
1080/30 or 720/60 for me. Either way, I need a locked framerate. None of that unlocked bullshit.

Let me fix that for you Sony
That is more of the case of Ubisoft lying than Sony's marketing. They were pretty vocal about 1080p/60 FPS at E3.
Holy shit, need to see source for that gif.

Every time they say this once the game is out people test it and it runs better with a considerably weaker hardware. Every single time, unless the game is downright broken, and I don't mean poorly optimized.
Allegedly from Ubisoft.

Wait... tell me that's not real?! lol
Is there no examples anywhere of a Xbone game with higher resolution than the PS4 version?
Microsoft, you done goofed this gen.

Calm down, you've misunderstood.
You too
All I was saying is that PS4-gaf won't be canceling their preorders over this because PS4 version still runs better than the Xbone and that is all that matters to most people. Running better than PS4 is just expensive PC snobbery in the console war, even when we're talking about supposed standards. You can see this with 60 fps all the time.
You'd have to ask the question again when the game is out. Ubi's min spec and recommended spec have been wrong pretty consistently. They also recommend an 8 core Intel processor, of which there are none unless you think of server or workstation anyway, unless they think hyperthreading is a literally adding physical cores, which it isn't. Never trust Ubi. In fact, I wound't be surprised if the game actually is 1080/60 and they just got it wrong AGAIN
Why are people still on about this?
It was obviously marketing trying to make the PS4 look good. They realized they fucked up, and quietly covered it up.
welp.

Maybe you can use your phone in the game to hack a better resolution.
Was about to ask that.

And what of that German website quoting Ubisoft saying 60fps 1080p?

I've never read or heard Ubisoft say 1080/60 once.
Oh...
Really? What site was that?
what is 1080p+?

From the site itself:
"Note: PS4 internal resolution is 1920x1280, vertically downscaled to 1080p."
Downsampled from a higher resolution, i guess.
This
Seriously comparing this to second son when none of you have played the game is hilarious...there are inefficiencies inherent built into crossgening a game. On top of that Second son was pretty static when it came to the people walking around in the game. A better comparison would be gta V when it comes to xbox one and ps4 as that will have been a cross gen game too (but since its a forward port gta v should be worse for the wear unless they developed them in sync)

1080p and 30fps is a given. I fully expect my 660Ti and i5 2500k @ 4.3GHz to deliver that.
With everything on high at least.

Yeah, whatever the fuck gave GAF that ide-
...oh...
Let's quit pretending this is somehow GAF's fault.
Well, when there's a certain group on GAF who tends to act like a certain console is as powerful as a high-end PC...
It's a problem of power and desing decision. We won't have much increased visual fidelity and 1080p60 this gen. There is a limit in power and devs have to decide what is more important for their game.
If all decide to go 1080p60 we would get games which are not really above the last gen - see Forza 5.
It means that it is down-sampled from something higher.
The Lego games are downsampling? From what?
edit: 1920x1200 and 1920x1280.
Wonder why.

Don't blame Sony, blame Ubisoft for lying.
It means the internal rendering resolution is above 1080p and downscaled to 1080p. This is the most expensive form of AA and people with enthusiasts PCs have been doing that for years to get the best image quality.

I'm on an i7-3770 with a 2GB GTX 770 but I'm also a realist. Ubi hasn't exactly been stellar with their PC engines. I don't even think those "recommended" specs will reach 1080p/60 without a lot of tweaking.

I don't think anyone is suprised by that aspect ... 900p/30 is kind of disappointing though.

You will be able to buy this game from half the price in a month on PC .. And every other game you buy.
Where as the game will continue to be $60 for consoles for the next six months.
Your specification does not include the full picture.

LOL at all those people that were convinced the game would run at 1080p/60fps. How can you be so God damned stupid?
... Oh, it appears I was one of them.
No purchase for me.

If the PC version actually needs $600 cpu to hit 1080p then its easily the worst port job I've personally seen.
Lol... no they weren't. This is all Sony marketing.
Every interview for watch dogs that asked about frames always had the same answer.
We are still finalizing.

GAF was pretty skeptic about 1080p60.

With these results they're no longer getting day one full price.
Waiting for the deserved bombs pricing on PS4 in a month, Ubi.
