Support NeoGAF

[Shadownet]

Hey GAF help me out here. I have a PS4 and a PC. Which one should I get Watch Dogs for?

My PC spec:
i5-4670K
Nvidia MSI Geforce GTX 760
8GB of Ram
Windows 8.1

I'm aiming for 60 fps, I'm not going crazy like 120fps. Realistically, what kind of graphic can I get? Will it be worst than PS4? If it is worst than PS4, then I rather get that. If I can get High quality at a stable 60fps I'll be happy.

When in doubt, get it on PC

 

[HowZatOZ]

Is there no PC streams/copies in the wild yet so we can get a good comparison? Seems lot's of people have the console game and are streaming but nothing regarding the PC version!

Edit: I'm not actually getting it on PC as my mates on ps4 want to have a blast with me on it but I'm just curious to how it holds up

You probably won't see PC copies out in the wild due to uPlay dictating download times. Also those PS3 screens look terrible. Ubisoft should have dropped past-gen consoles but its clear they, like everyone else, got caught out by how quickly new-gen is picking up.

Conan delivers the first review of the game: http://youtu.be/ZE6OnFKxdi4

LMAO

I use to hate Conan, i couldn't stand him. But lately, i can't remember why i disliked him in the first place.

We don't know. Ubi are making it sound like it's CPU bottlenecked, so overclocking that would be your best bet. They're also saying that PS4 = high settings.

I'd hope that a system like that would run high @ 60fps, but we just don't know until it's out. Remember that PS4 is running at 30fps, so in that instance, I think you should be able to exceed what the PS4 can offer.

 

[GamingIsDead]

While the collision detection seems quite forgiving the overall game looks alright for a ps3 game. How does it feel in motion?

Only played for about 2 hours~

There is some tearing and slow downs but its smooth for the most part. Motion blur looks great at least. Can't judge pop in because I'm reading both the cache and game off the HDD causing loading to be slower then usuall. Seems on par with most open word games on last gen, I wouldn't worry too much on performance.

Also the game has no jump button which could be annoying. You can only hurdle and climb when appropriate.

In game Cutscene

 

[flipswitch]

I thought SMAA would be an option for AA?

Maybe it's still selectable?


Edit: I guess so since they're not the highest specs chosen.

I found it to be decent. I love the random script npc has. Like a few minutes into the video the player walks to a patch of Gras and you see a kid npc humming and the dad npc plays the guitar and the mom npc encouraging the kid

edit...actually I don't think that's a kid lmao she's drinking a beer haha


Hack me if I'm late.

Good quality youtube vid.

 

[d3rd3vil]

What is going on here? Pc version has been cracked and some french dudes leeched it officially via uplay? Then why the hell isnt it released for everyone now? Do it NOW! Its goddamn pointless to wait when every console player plays already....

Can we not start with this?

 

[Raitosaito]

This game runs a modify AC engine or what?
Cutscenes look like AC models.

Damn it, that is really annoying.

I hate it when games don't have a jump button. Even if it doesn't do anything, I need my jump button!!

 

[TheVampire]

aaaaannnnd its leaked on PC.

Runs on the 'disrupt engine', believe it was built for watch dogs.

Bring me screenshots.

I demand to have some screenshots.

 

[d3rd3vil]

It is and the stupid buyers have to wait till tuesday to just leech it....

 

[Hasney]

What's wrong with the widescreen letterbox master race?

 

[Twinduct]

Imagine it's out on everything except the Ps4/ Xbone then lol
They should have gone steamworks

Maybe it's because they use the same performance capture technology

I hope that these are not the only options PC Gamers have.

 

[2beep]

no theres other stuff too, was posted here earlier

 

[KainXVIII]

What is GPU Buffered Frames means?

 

[Hasney]

What is GPU Buffered Frames means?

It can buffer frames before delivering them. This will result in smoother video at the expense of input lag. It's the same as triple buffering in most games when set to 3.

master race

First Ubi game that supports 16:10? XD

 

[TheVampire]

I got these from another forum

 

[valkyre]

Honestly... if this is what high settings looks like on PC, then this is pretty darn disappointing even for "master race" standards...

I mean it looks moderate at best. Hardly pushing any boundaries.

 

[KainXVIII]

3gb vram?! My gtx 770 (2gb) will cry =(

 

[MayMay]

Honestly... if this is what high settings looks like on PC, then this is pretty darn disappointing even for "master race" standards...

The texture setting is in a diff menu and not shown on that screen. I imagine its on low. Like loads of other settings.
Game looks worse than on PS3 in that shot.

Clearly not on high...

Runs on the Disrupt Engine.

Reportedly, the Disrupt Engine is a hodgepodge of AnvilNext (AssCreed 3 and onwards), Dunia (Far Cry 2 and onwards) and Lead (SC: Conviction and onwards).

3gb vram?! My gtx 770 (2gb) will cry =(

So much for a beefy CPU and a 670 being enough for Ultra.

 

[valkyre]

I dont know man but everything on that settings pic is on High.

So i cant imagine everything else to be on low. It just doesnt make much sense.

Clearly not on high...

What do you mean "clearly not in high"? Everything in that pic suggest that most is on "High" (in fact everything in that specific pic is set to high), granted i dont know if the other settings are all on Low, but it doesnt make sense for them to be.

In any case I hope you are right cause this is darn pathetic to be even suggested as a next gen title.

 

[Ubersnug]

OH LAWD!

Simply Games has just shipped my copy of Watch dogs!

Fingers crossed for it showing up tomorrow morning!

lol that looks way better than any ps3 game ive ever seen!!

I'm telling you, if that't legitimately on high, then there's a texture pack incoming on release day. Which makes sense considering it's allegedly smaller than the next-gen ones.

 

[dex3108]

Reportedly, the Disrupt Engine is a hodgepodge of AnvilNext (AssCreed 3 and onwards), Dunia (Far Cry 2 and onwards) and Lead (SC: Conviction and onwards).

For example AnvilNext in AC4 is using some tech from FC3 Dunia engine. That is how Ubi works.

 

[Hasney]

Oh, for anyone watching the streams, were there any Assassins Creed style eavesdropping missions?

Maybe there is a higher than "High" setting ?

 

[dex3108]

Maybe there is a higher than "High" setting ?

There are Ultra options for all of those settings. Also there is TXAA and HBAO+.

 

[Windom Earle]

There is an ultra setting. Where are you guys getting the 3GB vram from?

 

[Hasney]

Maybe there is a higher than "High" setting ?

There is, Ultra. Ubi were saying that the PS4 version = high settings though and that looks like a downgrade (hurrr) from what I've seen. Could just be a dodgy, glitchy shot though.

 

[valkyre]

Maybe there is a higher than "High" setting ?

There are ultra options but even so these supposed "high" settings look nothing like "high", or at least what high should be. Maybe Ubisoft fucked up the scaling so that people think their rigs run high settings when in fact its just low compared to ultra? Dont know. But this shouldnt be called high settings whatsoever...

 

[KingSnake]

Honestly... if this is what high settings looks like on PC, then this is pretty darn disappointing even for "master race" standards...

Well, they said that the "high" setting on PC is equivalent to the console version.

 

[derFeef]

There is, Ultra. Ubi were saying that the PS4 version = high settings though and that looks like a downgrade (hurrr) from what I've seen. Could just be a dodgy, glitchy shot though.

So texture pack and ultra settings are what we need to see to be able to judge it really.

 

[breakfuss]

Lol, lord, I still don't know what to think about this. Watched the Conan clip and LOLOLOLOLz at those car models. Keeping the faith, I guess...

 

[Matush]

Wait, isn't here Very High setting also? Just High > Ultra?

Nope I don't think so.

 

[Hasney]

Oh yes. But judging from what Ubi have said about requirements, I think most of us will be on high or lower.

I think it is best that unless you have the i7 and high end card craziness that Ubi demands, we're best off tempering expectations.

Personally, I'm not too bothered. my i5 2500k is overclocked and I have a 560ti. I'm playing on whatever gives me 60fps at 720p as I'd prefer that to the bestest graphical effects.
