Just like Far Cry 3, right?
Somehow highend PC owners didn't get the demonstrated highend PC version. Because those "demonstrated high end" versions are only exist in Ubiland, between unicorns and faeries.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
The leaked footage doesn't only look worse from a technical perspective, the whole thing screams focus-testing. Maybe it's just me, but the game's style looks and feels completely different. Less dark and techny, more colours (that don't fit in) and it reminds me a bit of GTA V's artstyle. Not exactly, ofcourse. Way uglier.
Now I don't want to judge a game by it's trailer, but man.
What a shitty trailer.
And man, that gif makes me sad.

Still looking forward to it, though.

I wouldn't even be surprised if you somehow managed to emulate a PS4 on your rig and made those yourself!
I'm watching the Polygon video that went up a little while ago and it shows clips from before and currently... And it is definitely noticeable. I'm wondering how THEY didn't notice and talk about the fact that the game has been NOTICEABLY downgraded.
Gosh, I'm a little frustrated with this. Even the videos that were being shown a few months before they were going to release it in November look better, what on earth was the reasoning for this change?

I think the footage from that video looks fine, sure it's a significant downgrade though. The OP just picked the worst possible gif where a helicopter spotlight was on the car and made the lighting look off.
You're not crazy, because that's actually a fact!

Next gen starts coming around the corner, games get previewed that don't actually look like they're games.
Next gen consoles release, previously previewed games suddenly start looking a whole lot like actual games and don't match older better looking footage.
I feel like this is a rollercoaster ride we've seen enough times to stop getting surprised by it.

Have any press who were at the preview event talked about the discrepancy between the graphics? Seems strange that none of the previews have mentioned it. Wonder if there was stuff they had to agree to not talk about?
Note: Only read Gamespot and Polygon previews so far

So is it confirmed that the footage is next gwn? Cuz that has to be PS3/360 footage.
You've heard of the Boston tea party, but not the Chicago jello party?

It's not just a console generation shift thing though. Ubi has a track record of stuff like this. Far Cry 3 also suffered downgrades. Some that really didn't seem necessary on PC.

Surely it can't look that bad on a PS4, that's PS3 footage right?
I got a FCK vibe out of that clip.

Character models are definitely impressive, i would say they are the only thing that haven't gotten downgraded. Do they use the same model/fidelity during gameplay as they do in cutscenes?

Did anyone not even watch the whole video on the site that this awful gif is taken from?

It's clearly been cherry picked from 90% decent looking PS4 footage to kick off more stupid downgrade arguments. I'm pretty sure there is current gen footage mixed in there, Look at 2.28 in the video. It looks considerably worse than everything else. That is very likely the PS360 footage, and probably so is the section where the gif is from, because the rest of the car footage looked totally fine. I have no idea why this guy has a mix of videos, but it's unmistakable, OP should of posted the actual website link, because this thread is totally ridiculous and nobody even bothers to check for themselves and decide to rely on a crappy gif as the consensus for judgement.

Assassines Creed still did amazing in sales despite turning out to be crap. Pretty sure Watch Dogs is gonna remain the hype status among the mainstream crowd too.

its cherry picked because its the only part of the footage that you can do a direct comparison with. They're both night shots with a car jumping a bridge while being chased by a police chopper with a spotlight.
The main characters in Watch Dogs are more detailed, no? The skin shaders, textures and llighting are more natural.
I'm looking at the recent-ish trailers that include in-engine cut scenes.
Hmm is this what crossgen looks like for the next two or so years :/ ? Looks a bit like "jack of all trades master of none". But on the other hand this is ubisoft even if they dont deliver in terms of gameplay the graphics usually end up looking amazing and i hope this will be no exception.
This.
I can't emphasize how much more powerful an Intel Sandy Bridge processor was at that time when compared to what the PS4 and Xbox One have, and that was what most PC gamers were running (that I knew, anyway).

I really want to know why they had to downgrade it so much.
Next gen can't handle it

It does look downgraded though. Especially in the gif scene. But the worst part of the video you shared is that the lighting has changed. Everything in previous videos looked like the lighting wasn't pre-baked on to all objects in the world. Now, the lighting looks pre-baked and makes the game look last gen due to this lighting change.
Chezzymann

And the spotlight is directly on the car in this gif which makes the lighting really look off, which is the main reason people seemed to be turned off by the gif.
It's Watch Dogs 7 for PS5.

They knew the general specs of the machines. They even showed it off in 2013 again after they had final specs.
