Support NeoGAF

[RedlineRonin]

My origin account and 280X 2500K powered PC is ready.
I am really looking forward to trying to recreate the 2012 demo. Hopefully the location is in the game, and environmentals will be possible to set up (time of day and weather).

780 GTX here. Really, really, really hoping (naively) it isn't an unoptimized pile...

AC IV was a massive letdown at launch

 

[chickdigger802]

reminds me i should pick up a nvidia code on ebay soon.

 

[sunofsam]

99 problems but a bitch doge aint one.

 

[Alebelly]

I'm excited to play it too

 

[Chindogg]

I'm wondering if I should overclock my 770 to get ultra settings.

 

[waitwhat42]

I've gone back and forth on this game, especially after the re-reveal downgrade. But I've lost faith, preorder officially cancelled, I'll wait till it's cheap.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Will it get downgraded to silver before release?

 

[ohlawd]

wait, the game is coming out on the 27th? Of this month? What the fuck.

I've been lurking WD threads but damn I did not pay attention to its release date. Resolution shit, framerate shit, I've read just about everything about this game except its release date lol.

 

[Script_Flipper]

I think I'll be picking this up. Been jumping back into ACIV in the meantime. Though I already finished it, save corruption saw to me losing everything. As it was my first AC game maybe that shielded me from getting burnt out as quickly as I know a lot of others have. Though it still a slow burn compared to the first time. Still want some reviews ASAP.

 

[fluffydelusions]

This game is uplay regardless like far cry 3? As in even if I get it on steam it will open uplay client to play?

770 + 2500k 4.2ghz and i'm pretty sure i'm going to be getting the juicy 1080p + 60fps version of this game.

[NuKERxyz]

No, just after u install it..

 

[ComputerMKII]

Hope they're working on a resolution patch then

 

[Wag]

Please support Ultrawide res (21:9) on the PC. PLEASE...

 

[sunofsam]

I had it preordered on steam. Have a 2500k OC and a Titan

Cancelled.

Gonna get it on XB1 for MP.

Gonna "test" SP on my PC using steam family sharing. If it's worthy I may double dip. But for now it's XB1 first.

Edit: clarification, because of all the kneejerk reactions

 

[watchdog]

Congrats to all the ladies and gents that worked on the game. It's no doubt been a long haul for them. I'm looking forward to seeing how the game has come together and, obviously, if it's fun to play.

 

[Darryl M R]

This games looks incredible cant wait to play it.

Is this on PC or PS4?

 

[sjay1994]

5 years. Man.

I hope this turns out well for them. GAF has torn this game apart over resolution, graphics, framerate and because its "another souless ubisoft game".

I really want this game to turn out great.

 

[crazygambit]

Can't wait for this.

Can wait for this.

Yeah... makes sense.

Oh, and piracy.

 

[Mathezar]

You will not be seeing anything like that, this is from the first reveal at E3 which ran on a decked out PC with dual GPU. Probably configured to show the best while being unoptimized. I haven't seen anything as impressive from the PC version since then.

There's a demo for Watch_Dogs? Huh.

 

[Arthos]

I'm going to have to figure out just how to overlook my 2500k. I have no idea how. Regardless, I'm still looking forward to this game. Have it preordered.

 

[SnakeEyes]

Finally no more delays. Got this Pre ordered on PS4. Lets do this!

Right there with ya champ, this has taken WAY too long to release

 

[hughesta]

Great news, now Ubi can get back to work on finishing up the Wii U version!

...right?

I actually upgraded because of AC4. I had 560Ti before, and AC4 just ran like shit.

Imagine my surprise, when AC4 ran like shit even on 280X. BUT, I was able to make it run well (50-60fps, mostly 60) by forcing triple buffering via D3D overrider. So it ran at this framerate in 1080p at stuff on high, and the experience was much better than on, say, PS4.
So even unoptimized dogshit port was made good on my PC.
For Watch Dogs, we have no idea since they are using new engine. It might be well optimized, it might not.

 

[SnakeEyes]

There's a demo for Watch_Dogs? Huh.

Since it's PC, I believe he's referring to BLATANT PIRACY.

 

[Deepo]

So when is the PC delay coming?

 

[Lowmelody]

thanks doge

No Day 1 patch? Great!

 

[VE3TRO]

This games looks incredible cant wait to play it.

Yup that 2012 footage looked incredible.

 

[Denton]

Yup that 2012 footage looked incredible.

I wonder if that spontaneous roll will be in the game, triggered by explosions or something.

 

[Traffcore]

Picking this up day one.

This game will probably be a succes sales wise atleast.

 

[LOLCats]

if you drill into that gold you might find tungsten...

piracy is fun

 

[sunofsam]

What does "test" mean?

Means I will "test" it using my buddies steam via family sharing. If its runs sooo such better then I may double dip.

What else would "test" mean?

 

[velociraptor]

Is this on PC or PS4?

plot twist: neither

 

[Dr Dogg]

Please support Ultrawide res (21:9) on the PC. PLEASE...

I really hope so. Recent AC and Splinter Cells have been 16:9 or bust. I live in hope though as Far Cry 2, which pretty much all of the dev team on that moved over to Watch_Dogs when that shipped and was near perfect Hori+ (needed a few FOV tweaks at launch) and Prince of Persia 2008 was perfect at 2540x1080. Don't know about Far Cry 3, I'll go have a look-see

 

[Zeppeli]

Since it's PC, I believe he's referring to BLATANT PIRACY.

I was being satirical

 

[Teddified]

I suppose I'll stick with my pre-order. Just want to finally play the game and get this whole debacle over with.

 

[Nuke Soda]

At least all the drama surrounding it will be done, also I will own it.

Spoiler

Xbox One 20 fps 480p resolution confirmed.
PS4 21 fps 520p resolution confirmed.

 

[Clarkus Darkus]

i will be picking this up, Been a long wait, That resolution and what not can take a back seat and hopefully we can all discuss the actual gameplay in the future.

Nice try, pirate.

Someone on my Friends List on PS4 was playing the beta earlier.

I don't agree with people who pirate just because they don't want to pay. However, since companies have decided to blatantly say "fuck you" to the consumer and dispatch with providing demos - especially true for PC - I see no problem with this.
