[tapedeck]

I never really cared about this game, but still this is pretty hilarious/sad.

 

[Lulubop]

That is more of the case of Ubisoft lying than Sony's marketing. They were pretty vocal about 1080p/60 FPS at E3.

What? I never heard that claim.

 

[LyleLanley]

Is there no examples anywhere of a Xbone game with higher resolution than the PS4 version?

Microsoft, you done goofed this gen.

With weaker hardware it wouldn't make any sense for an XB1 game to have higher resolution. At best they would be equal.

 

[StoopKid]

why wouldnt people believe sony ?

You've been on a role today.

 

[-griffy-]

What does 1080P+ mean??

It means the game is rendered at a higher resolution than 1080p and downsampled for superior image quality.

 

[artist]

Who cares about resolution? This game will be the most fun.

MOST FUN.

 

[InsaneTiger]

PS3 and 360 holding the game back

 

[tfur]

Any chance of a "after the reviews" patch for PS4? Similar to AC Black Flag situation

 

[Canis lupus]

Give me:
price of PC that can run this game at 1080p & 60fps.
price of PC that can run this game at 1080p & 30 fps.
price of PC that can run this game at 900p & 60fps.
price of PC that can run this game at 900p & 30fps.

Thank you.

You're probably looking at twice the cost of a PS4 to run this at 1080p60.

in usd:
200 for cpu
250 for gpu
100 for mobo
100 for ram
50-100 for psu
100 for case kb/mouse
100 diverse (hdd, windows etc)

 

[RoadHazard]

It actually wasn't day 1. Was a couple weeks after IIRC

No, it was day 1.

Aren't Strider and ASM 2 720p as well?

No.

 

[Vashetti]

So WiiU will probably be 720p/30fps with last gen textures/shadows/lighting?

360/PS3 probably 600p/30fps.

I don't know what you expected on a last-gen console (in terms of power).

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

If you can afford a PS4 or Xbox One, you can afford to get a gaming PC. It's not that much more money if you simply use the GAF thread.

I wouldn't build a $500 PC let alone a $400 for gaming. That's just terrible. You should spend more for the rig and save with the games

 

[Einbroch]

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.

Neither does yours. I'll be able to rent this day one, beat it, and send it back for ~$5.

 

[Nirolak]

TBF that was the logical turn of events can't keeping pushing higher fidelity without something eventually giving in.

Only thing that would stop that would be gamer stigma of that resolution.

Right, that's why I assumed it would at least start happening as companies tried to milk everything to the bone in the fifth or sixth year.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Wait... tell me that's not real?! lol

its real but i don't blame sony. they would have gotten this from ubi and probably didn't find out until recently that watchdogs was getting another downgrade

 

[Gregorn]

Give me:
price of PC that can run this game at 1080p & 60fps.
price of PC that can run this game at 1080p & 30 fps.
price of PC that can run this game at 900p & 60fps.
price of PC that can run this game at 900p & 30fps.

Thank you.

$700-$800? I don't know much about PC's, but we all know the saving comes from cheaper games and not having to pay for online. Yeah, the initial cost is more, duh.

 

[shandy706]

People seem to think the same tech/AI/Physics go into every game. As if every engine or world created runs on the same serving platter with a simple change of basic assets...or something.

The expectations with resolution and framerate (with EVERY single game) here are simply amazing.

It's almost like people are deliberately ignorant now. Do people just ignore the details or possible reasons to have something to whine about?

 

[dark10x]

1080/30 or 720/60 for me. Either way, I need a locked framerate. None of that unlocked bullshit.

That's what concerns me about the PC version. We'll see, but Ubi has a bad track record with open world PC games. The requirements for WD seem significant higher than previous games they've produced leading me to believe that there will be plenty of problems on the PC side at launch.

Seems like it's just a troubled game all around.

Curious to see how it will turn out on last generation consoles.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Has any game given so much entertainment before it's release as Watch Dogs?

Maybe Titanfall I guess?

 

[benny_a]

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.

Your word over Golem.de that actually attended a Ubisoft Watch Dogs hands-on event.

I DON'T KNOW WHO TO BELIEVE?!?!?!

 

[sjay1994]

What?

Because there was no confirmation from ubisoft about the resolution and frames for this game. They always responded with we are still finalizing, or we haven't confirmed anything.

 

[imtehman]

ladies and gentlemen, your next gen consoles!

 

[Piggus]

Is there no examples anywhere of a Xbone game with higher resolution than the PS4 version?

Microsoft, you done goofed this gen.

Why would there be?

 

[QuantumBro]

I was looking for an excuse to not buy Watch Dogs on day 1, thank you Ubisoft!

 

[fedexpeon]

Can't be... its a ubisoft game. I was only interested in this game because of its visuals, framerate, and resolution. I don't find ubisoft games enjoyable, but would have bought it because it used to look pretty.

typical GAF response

Eh...but it is a Ubisoft game. They are known to create soulless games.
So there is no way the game would have good gameplay.
Not a typical GAF response at all.

It will be a pointless point A-B mission, random stuff to collect from your A-B, random minigames for more padding, and horrible combat system adds in until you forget why you are going to A-B in the first place.

Edit: Forgot to add useless 10000000000 perks/skill upgrade system with awful UI.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Yikes, so I'm cancelling my PS4 preorder and will buy it on steam. My 680gtx should be able to run it better than that.

 

[EatinOlives]

GAF was pretty skeptic about 1080p60.

There were plenty of other people who thought that the game was just really well optimized. I mean, that was an official press release.

 

[TheVanillaGorilla]

Very disappointing. What exactly did they do with the extra development time? I expected 1080p for PS4 and 900p for Xbox One.

 

[Principate]

You're probably looking at twice the cost of a PS4 to run this at 1080p60.

in usd:
200 for cpu
250 for gpu
100 for mobo
100 for ram
50-100 for psu
100 for case kb/mouse
100 diverse (hdd, windows etc)

100 for ram dah what? I know I live in the UK but that ain't right.

 

[cyberheater]

So WiiU will probably be 720p/30fps with last gen textures/shadows/lighting?

360/PS3 probably 600p/30fps.

The WiiU will not be rendered at a higher resolution then the PS360. The textures should look better but I doubt it.

 

[Frillen]

People are not going to buy the game because it's 900p? What the hell is wrong with some of you? Hyperbole GAF strikes again...

 

[ethomaz]

So, recap of all the games with resolution differences (according to resolutiongate.com):

They need add Tomb Raider.

 

[Zombie James]

Why 792? It's such an oddball resolution.

 

[VE3TRO]

I wasn't expecting this. I honestly thought it would achieve 1080p30 on PS4. I wonder what kind of state the game would have been if it originally released back in November?

I'm glad I cancelled my order a few months back, I'll pick it up in the Summer on PC. Don't think it will be anything special.

 

[JaseC]

Any chance of a "after the reviews" patch for PS4? Similar to AC Black Flag situation

I doubt it. Black Flag had to be hurried out the door somewhat to make the launch date and while this was initially true of Watch Dogs it's now releasing ~six months later than originally scheduled.

 

[HI. BILLY MAYS HERE]

Still gonna get it

Day 1

 

[DinHerio]

0 and 1 are just some numbers too. Why even bother to make games at all, Ubi?

This PR stupidity gets on my nerves. They just assume their customers are idiots. Welcome to real life.

 

[sjay1994]

Your word over Golem.de that actually attended a Ubisoft Watch Dogs hands-on event.

I DON'T KNOW WHO TO BELIEVE?!?!?!

Or just look up some interviews from the recent watch dogs event. Every response to frames or resolution was we are still finalizing.

Even the creative director's twitter said they are still finalizing. No one confirmed anything publicly.

 

[RedAssedApe]

man i would really love to see the november 2013 build

 

[Lulubop]

Yikes, so I'm cancelling my PS4 preorder and will buy it on steam. My 680gtx should be able to run it better than that.

Should be? Really? SMH.

 

[Boudica]

I'm a sad Panda . Is this the first PS4 game at sub-1080p?

There's BF4 as well. What's with all these random resolutions for X1 games?

 

[clutch.as.it.gets.]

So the console versions run with those low resolutions while representing the low settings from the PC version. That not good.

And i get the feeling Ubisoft may hold the PS4 version back on purpose. They already released AC4 at 900p on disc and then got cold feet because other games showed the massive difference between the xbox one and ps4 versions.

 

[CitizenCope]

Well that sucks. Better than 792p I guess. Jesus Christ!

 

[ced]

Can't even hit 1080, wtf.

 

[velociraptor]

Maybe you can use your phone in the game to hack a better resolution.

That would be genius.

 

[Nozem]

Who cares about resolution? This game will be the most fun.

MOST FUN.

We need a unit to quantify fun.

 

[Pryce]

Well, another game I won't be buying.

 

[RoboPlato]

Why 792? It's such an oddball resolution.

It's an obvious "not 720p" reach.

 

[BRocknRolla]

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.

I HIGHLY doubt this game will hold its $60 price tag for 6 months on any platform. How many games do? (Excepting Nintendo products)

 

[Canis lupus]

ladies and gentlemen, your next gen consoles!

Yeah Im quite happy with it. inFamous is the most beautiful open world game so the potential is there.
