Funnily enough the roads look better then that when it is raining on the last-gen consoles in comparison to that screenshot.

the lack of quality AF sucks. Why did they not include options for that?

Some of you guys need to go out a bit more.
Also, this type of realistic lighting is going to be more and more present in certain next-gen games that strive for a photo-realistic look, especially those open world games with 24 hours cycles.
I like it personally. Get used to it.
yep. if people want to see other examples go look at infamous and metal gear gz when the weather is overcast. gz looks especially bad though heh

Ok I've been playing the game mostly all day and as a person that quickly quits any newly started games out of boredom, I've been remarkably sticking to it so far... and I'll probably finish it as well. Variety in missions, good controls, stealth is fun, shooting is well done. Very cliché but decent story...
Honestly I had more fun with the missions in Gay Tony overall and I miss the goofy dialogs/characters in GTA games but WD is a pretty good game overall. Not ground breaking but pretty good.
EDIT : can't you leave the quality settings comparison posts to the 'PC Performance Thread' ?

Cool, Its not showing watchdogs in your played games list but maybe there's a lag, anyhow I believe you.
That's unfortunate about the screen tearing.
Thanks a bunch. Praying I'll be able to play on high setings, that does look much better than medium. Oh well, just a few more days.

Just tried it with an i7 4770K, SLI GTX670 and 8gb RAM, the game is stuttering as hell. Could be bad drivers or bad optimization, maybe it needs a patch. Now I'm worried about my preorder, I may be unable to play the game in good conditions at launch...
Hmm, I thought it would look worse on the PS3.
SLI stutters like crazy for me as well.

Try turning off in game v-sync, if tearing is really annoying you (it does me) enable adaptive v-sync in Nvidia control panel

Well, it's partly due to the cut between the asphalt texture and the dirt on the side. The other problem is that I don't think this game uses physically-based materials like in MGS5 where you calibrate your texture to have the same property as in real life. Meaning that the asphalt texture would have the same properties as the dirt texture and the two would react the same under various conditions (day/night, wet/dry, etc).
So that reflection on the asphalt part would be present on the dirt side, with the correct tools also. So physically-based materials, blending between the two textures and engine tools that can let you do that (It's an open-world game so creating a world with modules is easier and less costly, but you can see that they don't merge organically).
That's all going to change with next-gen thank god!

So from my understanding, the game doesn't tell you that you've been invaded until you start to get hacked correct? If that's the case, how does pausing your game work? I imagine whether or not you're able to pause would give away if you're being watched.

I don't know if someone already said this later on in the thread, cause I just got to this message, but the unlock for Watchdogs on the PS4 is Tuesday, May 27th at 12:01AM Eastern time.
I got an email from Sony that said this.

Can you specify who you want to hack? Rather than randoms can you hack specificly your friends

What's the best way to lose the cops? Its like they can see me behind buildings so hiding doesn't work very well.

Park under bridge or down an alley and hit B.

....and meanwhile he is invading another player. Ubisoft finally figured out how social stealth works
after 6 Assassin's Creed games
The game isn't even officially out yet. I'm sure AMD/Nvidia will have a day one patch for this. It's a pretty big release.
People seem to be forgetting this and should calm it down a bit.

Any direct feed Xbox One screenshots available yet?
I'd think in terms of the game it's because the guy is able to simply complete the crime later, since you weren't able to kill / disable him.

Really looking forward to this. I'll admit, I had never really been a fan of what I had seen until the release of the "101" trailer. Totally sold me on Watch Dogs!

But what if I shoot the guy anyway?

Game Logic: Should have done it right the first time, no cookie for you.
I agree though, it's silly that the mission fails just because the guy spots you and stops the violence. You should at least still have some sort of option to do something.
You can shoot the guy, but it'll be the same as shooting a random civilian AFAIK.
I've also encountered these failed crimes quite a few times. Usually because I enter the crime space, start looking for the criminal and he's around the corner or something and the yellow "notice" triangle gets filled before I have time to react.
