[Aesius]

Just saw the game running on an i5 2500k @ 4.3GHz with 8GB of RAM and a 660Ti.
Everything on high with HBAO+High, TemporalSMAA @ 1080p with v-sync. FPS between 40-50 outside. Say what you want, but this game looks amazing. I dare you to say otherwise. If you do claim otherwise you can fuck off.

So much for the 8 core req.

Telling people to fuck off is bannable, FYI.

 

[DrBo42]

Watching a twitch streamer playing on ultra, game looks great. He said that the game is only using 2.4gbs of system ram.. so yea.

Good lord. Wonder why their requirements are so ridiculous. Maybe it was a different story earlier in development?

 

[Newline]

Yeah but is he really telling people to fuck off tho?...

 

[reektann]

All the streamers appear to be northern right now.

 

[SystemBug]

He's a guy at IGN who literally just writes reviews like "This game is really awesome. So cool. I shot someone and it made me feel badass."

Oh man Greg Miller. He writes his reviews like a child and fails to extrapolate anything of importance from whatever game he plays. Dude wouldn't know good art if it was sitting two feet in front of him.

 

[Vuze]

Yup, seems the tip with the ini was right, if the game aknowledges those changes this will be great. Found this one online, I don't have the game yet so I can't try sadly.

I guess it's a good thing games aren't art then.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

He had a lot of heart.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

He's at the very minimum saying it to iamthedogethatwatches.

Fucking brutal. I can't tell if you're serious with that art bit.

I make games and I consider them art.

Ok yeah I had to read further back, he kinda was.

 

[chickdigger802]

super surprising that there isn't any physx implementation. That could close the gap to the 2012 target trailer.

 

[ymgve]

So...can anyone confirm that if you have an Uplay code, you can download and play right now? And what kind of code is required? Retail PC codes, or does it also work with those vouchers you get when buying a Nvidia card?

I can't believe I almost missed a post where someone tells me to fuck off! Miss you already man.

I don't actually mind Greg Miller as much as most people, but even I think it's for the best that he doesn't do reviews anymore.

 

[Vuze]

Now that you're saying it... that's kinda weird considering they even chose to partner up with Nvidia and have HBAO+, TXAA etc

 

[zychi]

these streams are making glad i didnt preorder on steam. ill wait til it bombas down to $10/$5

i'd much rather have gta v on pc or some new expansion packs on the old systems

Choppiness because of the video.

Good lord. Wonder why their requirements are so ridiculous. Maybe it was a different story earlier in development?

I get the feeling that a lot of game studios base their PC system requirements on whatever systems they have on hand and don't actually do performance benchmarks like PC hardware/gaming sites do. That or they're in collusion with PC hardware manufacturers to inflate the specs to encourage hardware sales.

My money is on the former.

Yup, seems the tip with the ini was right, if the game aknowledges those changes this will be great. Found this one online, I don't have the game yet so I can't try sadly.

What's this about, besides the obvious settings that can be tweaked?

Looks great to me. Keep them coming.

I don't mind him discussing games and talking about them. I just don't think he should be doing reviews.

I like watching Up At Noon

They have their own physics system that does a lot of the stuff that PhysX usually does. It might not have been beneficial (or simply too difficult) to try to incorporate the two.

Is it me or does that back window break and then reappear?

hmmm haven't seen any footage with debree and leaves flowing around.

 

[Trace]

Smoke has a really weird effect on most of the reflective stuff in this game. Seems to phase through stuff.

hmmm haven't seen any footage with debree and leaves flowing around.

It's there still, just not extremely obvious unless you wait in one spot for awhile and look for it.

 

[Vuze]

The game offers no in-game settings to turn HUD segments on or off as far as we/I know, but it looks like you can do that by modifying this file.

Ah yeah, seems about right.

 

[Linius]

You're right, sharp. Though it doesn't seem to break it just vanishes for a moment and then reappears as the car gets stable again.

He's not a reviewer anymore.

He's now a part of the video team. He barely even writes articles anymore.

 

[Backfoggen]

Probably a transparency depth sorting thing with the smoke.

meh looks like gta3

nah that looks badass i hope it can do that somewhat in the ps4 version.

 

[JetSetRadio]

Watching Conan's Clueless Gamer feature on the game...it really just looks exactly like GTA, but with a little more cell phone stuff. I just...I feel like this game might end up having been a huge waste of everyone's time when all is said and done.

At first it seemed like it'd be a techno stealthy spy game in a futuristic city, but looking at what the gameplay loop seems to be, it just looks like GTA with some hacking stuff bolted on as a new "weapon type".

Steal Cars, go to waypoints, get missions, drive to places, shoot cops...I really didn't expect it to just be THIS HARD of another GTA Clone. Maybe there's something interesting about it, but I'm not seeing it. I'm seeing alot of "steal the car, shoot the cops, get the drugs".

It might look like gta, but minus atmosphere, EUPHORIA engine, fun, story, details, awesomeness, decent car handling etc........... + hacking chore

 

[Objectively Bad Opinion]

I managed to pick up a nvidia key thing so I guess I'll be playing this game

I don't see how you can judge the game like that? I had way more fun playing MP in Watch_Dogs than I ever did in GTA. I'd go as far to say that in a straight 1:1 comparison, Watch_Dogs is a better game than GTA.

This is becoming a meme of it's own by now.

 

[ComputerMKII]

I haven't been following the Watch Dogs threads these past few days.

What is the general consensus on GAF? Is everyone still mad about the downgrade and other stuff or are people legitimately excited about the game?

The game looks like GTA III/The Maxtrix Online and people are fighting each over it.

I'm hype as hell. Lot's of downgrade shitposting, but some real complaints thrown in. Lots of competing footage, game looks amazing at times and downright terrible.

I'm hoping the story is good, but multiplayer is tons of fun.

 

[dmr87]

So let's say you have a Nvidia code for Watch Dogs, are you able to legally play now?

Or do you get shutdown in Uplay?

 

[The Flash]

I didn't pay any attention to that nonsense since I'm getting it on Xbox. I saw some spider tank gameplay yesterday that got me pretty hyped.

 

[chickdigger802]

have there been any numbers thrown around on how long it takes for an average playthrough of doing some side stuff, getting all the 'towers' and beating story?

 

[DarkLordMalik]

The game is enjoyable if you forget all the gameplay footage from 2012 and 2013. It doesn't look anywhere close to them, but other than that, the general consensus regarding the game is decent.

 

[Marcel]

Watch_Dogs is basically Midtown Madness, GTA III, and The Matrix Online all at the same time. And it's for PS1. It's kind of amazing honestly.

 

[Evil Beaver]

You're right, sharp. Though it doesn't seem to break it just vanishes for a moment and then reappears as the car gets stable again.

Regenerating HP for cars confirmed.

 

[Mashin Haters]

Calm the fuck down, you failed to understand that i was referring to "ultra" setting, the game barely looked better than the PS4 version while the performance was terrible, as mentioned in the previous pages the game runs 45-60 FPS on ultra at 1080p on a OC GTX 780 and the latest Core i7 processor. That several times more powerful than a GTX 660 ti.

One more thing provide a source for a claim, its hard to believe that it preforming that good on that config.

could be that a day one patch can help performance issues as well. wait till the the release day and i hope that you bought the game

 

[flaxknuckles]

Regenerating HP for cars confirmed.

What if that is an unlockable perk?

Hmmmm..............





lol

 

[ocean]

Conan's feature makes this look awfully similar to GTA. I'm still looking forward to playing it though, because being similar to one of the greatest franchises ever isn't necessarily a bad thing. And dem graphics look incredible.

Not day 1 for me but I'll definitely pick it up this summer!

Only decent?
