to be fair, we've only seen a like 3 seconds of nathan's face... and beauty shots of GTAV (watchdogs looked alright in trailers too!).
And its a given that in game form, LA would look better than chicago.
Alright.

Looks like vanilla with more fog.

Hard to see differences. Looks pretty similar to what we have now to be honest.
I think there' a limit to how much the game can change with these shaders, sadly.

Is that with the latest Ubi patch included??
There is an issue with the texture streaming. Regardless of how high end your rig is you will get a ton of stuttering if you set your textures to ultra. its impossible to keep a steady frame rate in the game.
Just download the Ubisoft patch and Maldos texture patch. Should fix it.
hmmm ok, so a big Front Page dev from Massive contacts a randon unheard of website with very, very questionable articles and "journalism" and drops the skinny on all the underhand shenanigans including the HUGE downgrade (That I did not see from the E3 2014 X1 demo.. and if that was PC then they had AA turned off) why not IGN or Gamespot or DF....yeah forgive me if I take the advised pinch of salt with the whole jar!
Yeah pretty much
When I eventually do get a gaming PC, which will be based around an 8-core/16 thread Intel CPU and an Nvidia Maxwell / GTX 8xx card of some kind, I hope to be able to play Watch Dogs with some future patch from TheWorse with as much of the 2012 graphics as possible. Hopefully there will be a version of Watch Dogs around then that isn't 'patched' by Ubi that removes the work done by the community,

0.8 screenshots

Face it Tiger..

Looks terribad, are you using SweetFX as well?
Don't worry. If it would be out yet I would have posted the link.
These screenshots are from TheWorse btw.
Yeah, I meant that they look better than the final version of Watch Dogs out on consoles. Not talking about what the graphics were supposed to be like going by these screenshots (they do look fantastic & should've stayed that way in the final version in the first place).

They are screenshots from TheWorse, and yes, he likes to mask what his mod actually does by ruining it with crappy SweetFX settings. Kinda annoying.

So i see.
I couldn't get the new program to auto install for me without manually adding the installation folder (which someone said you didn't need to but i did strangely)
Gonna see if it made a difference now

Tons of fog still. Headlights still glitchy. Vanilla game with a few sweetfx tweaks still looks the best IMO.

Are there any before/after screenies when using this mod? Is there really a clear difference?

Looks like I'm waiting until the next version. The color grading he showed in some screens looked pretty bad....

actually ive only noticed the difference that at night it looks much darker, actually looks like "night". I got invaded by a guy under a highway overpass and it was hard to see him, had to goad him out of cover and into the street by moving around wildly before I could profile him. The darkness was certainly adding intensity to getting invaded at night. You really gotta look for em.
I will say that being able to adjust the Bloom Intensity to "0" is a godsend, especially at night.

Those screenshots just look like they've had CA spooged all over them.
0.8 with the Maldo texture patch produced pretty bad stuttering for me. I still have to use 0.7 with high textures and 1/2 refresh rate v-sync (30hz) to get a mostly stutter free experience.
This is beating a dead horse, but it has to be said again. Ubisoft is absolutely fucking pathetic in their development skills on the PC platform. It's mindblowing the level of complete incompetence they consistently show.

This is far worse than any of the Assassin's Creed titles. Personally I would be very happy if watch_dogs ran as well as that.
For me, Kadzait24 mod is just perfect. The only thing I would change was Dynamic DOF instead of static DOF:

So did Maldo do anything with the textures? Were there any new updates to this? Did anyone actually manage to get this to run in any satisfying manner on a PC?
I probably wouldn't have a problem with using medium textures if they didn't look so atrocious.

I think that horse is alive and well. It can't be said enough how awful and disappointing this experience was. I just bought a new laptop and this was the first big game to come out since I bought it so I splurged and bought it + the season pass. One of my most regretful purchases. I hope they fix it soon.
With that said... Anyone with an 880M SLI Setup having any kind of success? I want to compare settings/specs with someone.

TheWorse just released an updated version of his mod, its 140mb and it updated a few textures, I'm playing with medium textures and I'm noticing some high/ultra quality textures were added like the water for example, the base grass/vegetation as well and even tree textures with no performance decrease to vanilla medium.
Looks great, only thing i would lessen a bit if the strong fog in this version and i'd increase the speed at which the DOF for the standing camera focuses (make it faster). But the DOF intensity is perfect, gives than nice Bokeh DOF look when you want it to.

Well that's great to know. I might finally get around to play this soon.

.99 is out. Anyone used it yet? I've officially put this game on the shelf until the ridiculous stuttering has been taken care of. I can't even drive a vehicle without crashing and/or running people over because I literally just can't control it half of the time. This is my biggest game purchase regret that I can think of.
Edit: 1.0 is actually out...

On my PC, I got rid of stuttering completely by playing in windowed borderless (1080p/ultra spec, with textures high).

I just read a post on reddit suggesting this today as well. I will definitely try it.
Yeap game works better on my PC in borderless mode.

How to open borderless mode ?
Go to settings and i think under Display you have option to change to Borderless or Fullscreen.

Downloading now. Hopefully I can finally play this. I assume Ubisoft isn't going to be fixing shit since their last patch actually made shit way worse for me.
EDIT: Holy shit, this download is taking forever. Guess I'll be checking this out tomorrow.

It's pretty fucking ridiculous. I will absolutely not be buying any more Ubi games on day one. Hopefully Far Cry 4 turns out well, but I'll be waiting to hear from others before I jump in.
I say it all the time, but I'll never understand why people buy stuff on day 1, especially on PC... Just doesn't make sense. At least wait until reviewers/consumers have it so you can see what you're getting into!

I got it for $23 or whatever stupid low price it was on Origin. I couldn't resist. Besides, if you want to play a game, you want to play a game.
Not that that's the case here. But, something like Witcher 3 or the Arkham games I know I want. It doesn't matter what reviewers or even other users have to say. Reviews are for games I'm not sure about my interest in. Or, now, Ubisoft games.
EDIT: It was $25 dollars.
