Multiplayer looks cool. I'm still not sold on purchasing this for $60 though. I'll either wait for lots of impressions here or a sizable price drop.

I kind of got that from the trailers 2 years ago. Some people have been saying it's so-so. Not sure if it's true. I plan on grabbing this for PS4.

Well JLeak seems to be the only one of us who actually has the game. So I imagine his impressions carry a bit more weight than people who have just watched streams.

Even though the cars look shitty, I'm more looking forward to going on foot with this game anyways. Aidens free running skills should make that fun.

I believe some people were asking how the driving feels. I have good news: this isn't GTAIV. It's arcade style and seems to behave a lot like Sleeping Dogs. Even the big vehicles are pretty mobile.

Is it fun though?

Here's a direct-feed 360 version screenshot posted on another website.


I am fairly sure the green car is 2D.

Yeah the game doesn't look good in screenshots, def seems to look better in motion.


Thanks. Finally someone who is taking things a little slower.

I hope the driving is a little heavier, like GTA IV. I'm not a huge fan of light-weight arcade driving in open worlds. So much so, that I had a hard time getting accustomed to GTA V, after spending so much time serenely cruising in Liberty City.

I'm contemplating whether to pick this up for PS4 or PC. Are there any indications or pros/cons for one or the other?

PS4
  • Timed exclusive DLC content
  • 900p/30fps

PC
  • No timed exclusive DLC
  • Any resolution or frame rate you want
  • Better water
  • Probably higher res textures on ultra

I'd go for the PC version if you have a good computer that can run it well.

Ubisoft 'exclusive' DLC is usually extremely meaningless. AC4 for instance, easily could have gone without it.

Not worth it for 900p/30 if you have a computer that can run it better IMO.

Plus, you can get it for cheap on PC to boot.

Are there places selling it for sub-$60? Is it viable to get it yuplay.ru? It seems like they restrict sale in the US now, otherwise it'd be ~$25 on that website (799 руб). Does a proxy work to get around the region restriction?

Loved GTA IV driving, GTA V not so much.

Anyone know if you can turn down the sensitivity somehow?

PS4 Stream Great Quality

Looks like he just started doing story missions now.

Looks pretty good

Been watching this one for a bit. Looks great. Story seems very well done. Stopped watching to avoid spoilers but from what I saw it looks really good. The voice acting is impressive and Aiden seems like a very likeable character. This game is going to be awesome. I can't bloody wait till next tuesday.

When you say no timed exclusive DLC on PC does that mean it's available day 1 on PC or that PC doesn't get the DLC at all?

Is it true that the PS4 version run at 1080p upscaled from 900p?

Proxy would probably work, but make sure the key is region free. Otherwise, you'll need to use a VPN to run the game every time, which is a hassle.

GetGamesGo
is offering it for 44.99 if you'd prefer a less shady site, however I've gotten keys from those kinda sites before without a hassle.

The DLC is eventually going to be available for Xbox platforms and PC, and possibly at launch for the Wii U version later this year.

PS4 version is upscaled 900p, yeah.
 
Will multiplayer be cross platform? I doubt it will and so I think that is what's going to sway my opinion to get the PS4 version simply because more of my friends will be getting that version.
 
Regarding the multiplayer part of the game where a player can jump into your game and start hacking you: is any random person allowed to do this at any time or is it just friends? Do you have to set your game to a public setting for this to happen?

Will get this for PC no doubt.
My i7-2600K OC'ed to 4.5GHz, 16GB Ram and GTX 680 OC 4GB will hopefully let me run pretty high settings.
