The media is seriously going to say that the graphics are the same? No wonder they can't tell the different between 720p and 1080p.

 

[Vizzeh]

The stream is sad.

I don't expect them to sit there and graciously take the shit being thrown at them by anonymous assholes over the internet, but at least do a real, live Q&A session.

The Q+A is definitely pre-baked.

Have yet to see a chat Question, answered.

Atleast they half-reacted to the graphical question, even if it was sidestepped.

 

[Quentyn]

What did I miss in the last ten minutes? Can someone summarize?

The graphics are fine. The journalists loved it. Next question please.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Poor Moon is getting desperate.

yes, the meltdown is coming

 

[razgriz417]

What did I miss in the last ten minutes? Can someone summarize?

"Don't worry, trust professionals"

 

[Betta Lines]

Did he actually say there hasn't been a downgrade, though? I don't think so.

Not exactly, but it was implied. It was a poor way to address the concerns though - they should have just shown some new footage.

 

[Marcel]

"We don't have side missions. We have open world missions."

Okay, Ubisoft guy.

 

[Kiant]

Whoever made the game is my favourite hack

 

[FullMetaltech]

Poor Moon is getting desperate.

Yeah. Looks like it.

Paraphrased answer from debs when asked about graphics:

"This asset (the trailer) has been created to convey the context of the game. It's something the fans wanted. In terms of graphic quality, I invite anyone to read the impressions of the journalist and it's pretty positive. We're in debug mode and we're fixing little things, the graphics are at no risk at all. I don't know why anyone thinks this." - approximate quote from the interview just now.

I've been searching just to see and they actually are answering questions posted in the chat, they're just being very selective with their query choices.

 

[VanquishUK]

"Everybody on the internet is asking about the graphics, what do you have to say?""Game is bugs convey people locked salsa.""Sounds good to me, let's move on to the next question."

What does it mean?

EDIT: Seems like it was posted before.

 

[Muffdraul]

That suggests something happened. If they're saying that there has been no downgrade, then nothing has happened, so what are they supposed to say?

 

[Camp Lo]

They were better off before this QA. Good lord, where's the PR team on this?

 

[Storm Chamber]

"Can we use silencers on guns?"

wow

such questions

much answers

 

[chadskin]

Well, we should look at previews which specifically mention the graphics then, just like the Ubisoft dude recommended. I'll start with a German preview:

Schlecht sieht Watch_Dogs, trotz einer gewissen Ernüchterung, schließlich bislang nicht aus.

Translation: Despite a certain disentchantment, Watch_Dogs doesn't look bad in the end.

 

[RedSwirl]

Transcript?

 

[riflen]

Suppressed weapons? Pre-order un-cancelled!

 

[Marcel]

The PR team is drinking (Friday!) or fired. This is gonna be a rough one.

 

[Yasae]

See this is what's so bad about Ubisoft. PR bullshit.

I'm interested in the game - really - and they keep pushing me away with all the lying. It blows my mind how they get away with this. This is why Jimquisitions exist.

 

[Betta Lines]

Mmmm my favourite

 

[Kiant]

"Can we use silencers on guns?"

wow

such questions

Ubisoft picks the hardest hitting questions, really good Q&A

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Poor Moon is getting desperate.

It's like he's desperately looking for anything to prove he is right and somebody on the internet is wrong. It's kind of sad...

I need a movie based off his life.

 

[ss_lemonade]

Ubi, you need to tighten up the graphics on level 3.

And 1,2,4,5,6,7, and the other ones too.

Aim for something like this

If this is actually ingame (looks like it), why not just let pc gamers take advantage of the effects on display? I never understood why developers would take the time to make a glorified demo and downgrade it when nearing release for every platform.

 

[TheOctodad]

Q: Are there guns?

A: Yes

Q: Are there quiet guns?

A: Yes

Q: Are there big, loud guns?

A: Yes

Q: Are there lots of guns?

A: Yes

This interview is groundbreaking.

 

[Muffdraul]

Mmmm my favourite

Obviously.

 

[Shade360]

Maybe if the chat wasn't flooded with graphics and trans questions, the mod might pick better questions... missed opportunity really


And I don't think this is recorded.. judging by the swear word that just slipped out..

 

[GrayFoxPL]

"Can you just tell them I am excited you are supporting the PS2 still after all these years"

Chat does it right.

lmao

 

[Loakum]

This Ubisoft Twitch stream is a Pre recorded, Pre Question selected, PR informercial. Lame.

 

[krypt0nian]

Keep spamming this GIF

N30ryu: Ubi better release a demo if they wanna sell the game.

not a bad suggestion tbh

 

[chadskin]

Never - ever - complain about Keighleys questions again, folks.

You don't? Well let me tell you a secret. Nobody would gave a shit about Watch_dogs if it didn't lead next-gen charge with that "touched up" "gameplay footage". It's a pure business move from Ubisoft's part.

 

[Kinyou]

Well, we should look at previews which specifically mention the graphics then, just like the Ubisoft dude recommended. I'll start with a German preview:

haha

checkmate I guess

Has there been a suggestion that it won't look like this on PC?

 

[Megasoum]

Honestly, I don't even care that much about the graphics...but hearing them talk about the stalking/tailing missions are pissing me off. They are, BY FAR, the worst part of Assassin's creed games.

 

[Jin]

That looks fucking amazing.

 

[orhnsnmz]

They are clearly NOT taking in questions from the Twitch chat, because I actually searched the chat for multiple questions, no results whatsoever.

So, where do they get their questions from?

 

[GrayFoxPL]

These guys make me not want the game. Graphics aside.

 

[kutthoat5150]

"How difficult was it to build a game across three generations of platforms - PS2, PS3, PS4/PC?"

lol this chat is too good

 

[Minus_Me]

I've seen that guy in red at a fish and chips resto a couple of times. I should hack him.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Fixed.

Hate that the AC template is everywhere on their games.

 

[chadskin]

They are clearly NOT taking in questions from the Twitch chat, because I actually searched the chat for multiple questions, no results whatsoever.

So, where do they get their questions from?

They were asking for questions a few hours ago on Twitter.

 

[TheHollowNight]

Honestly, I don't even care that much about the graphics...but hearing them talk about the stalking/tailing missions are pissing me off. They are, BY FAR, the worst part of Assassin's creed games.

They are talking about dropping into someone else's game online and messing with them.

 

[Vizzeh]

Starting to see them answered now - Kudos Ubi

 

[Muffdraul]

Gee... I wonder if these questions are... pre-prepared?!

Nah!

EDIT: OK, I retract my comment. =P

EDIT 2: Although, it's not impossible that Ubi plants are in the chat posting pre-prepared questions. That's how 9/11 was planned.
