Why on earth did this game not release today? Are they really gonna let hundreds of people stream it all weekend??

All I needed was rain to mimic the 2012 video, but it never came, or came at the wrong time.
I know had there been rain, it would have looked similar to the video.
How about a high bitrate video instead (since I forgot that RTSS gets captured by shadowplay)

Did you notice any screen tearing in the PS4 version during cutscenes?

Noticing the amount of positive impressions from people who actually have the game.
Interesting shift from the gaf echo chamber as recent as last week.

The question that really matters.
Can aiden eat stuff, does he have an eating animation?

Interesting, those shots are from the same scene as one of the 2013 PS4 gameplay trailers. If this is definitely Ultra, then there are clearly at least two effects missing - some kind of parallax mapping for the paved road, and the dynamic DOF.Everything is on the Ultra setting...
The overall shininess of the ground can be attributed to it being just after a rain shower, compared to your screens that are bone dry.
But here, beyond the shininess of the wet ground, you can clearly see there is some depth to the gaps in the paving in the lower left, beyond just a normal map.
But the key thing that made all the old footage look so good was the dynamic DOF, which is very apparent in this scene in motion (when he walks up to the cash machine for instance), and I haven't seen any of it in the recent streamed footage on PS4 or PC. The DOF goes very shallow when the camera gets close to things, and that isn't happening.
Very strange - those two things would make a massive difference to how 'next-gen' it looks. I expected to see them on Ultra.
Has this been posted? Watch Dogs on Ultra settings on PC.

WOW amazing comparison. Some things I noticed, the shadows in PS4 version are definitely much better and smoother. The character and environments also seem to have an extra layer of self-shadowing going on.
However, the vehicle pop in in both versions is horrendous, what year is this? 2008?
Thanks ever so much, it worked!

I'm angry that I've preordered the game (on Origin) yet so many people are already playing it. Legitimate customers get screwed with strict regulations on release dates.

The game runs rather badly on my PC (2500k 4.5 8 GB RAM, GTX 780, 1440p, everything on Ultra + 2x MSAA. I get 40-50 fps when walking about and drops to 30 while driving. The annoying thing are freezes while driving, probably because the cpu can't load everything in time.
GPU memory usage is also very high. The game uses all 3 Gigs of VRAM.
The gameplay is quite good though.

PS4 looks like it has higher quality shadows and AO.
Texture assets and models looks the same.
I'm looking forward to Digital Foundry's comparison.

Well damn. Just as I say I haven't seen any dynamic DOF, there it is at the cash machine. But it has been heavily toned down compared to the 2013 footage. Perhaps it was too distracting?

That above is the reason so many people are angry at the downgrade. That's Gamespots channel and it doesn't say "PS4 reference", it says, "Check out what Watch Dogs looks like on the PS4". Had Ubisoft not said anything, I think most would've assumed that was a high-end PC, but they said it was running on PS4. Yeah, I understand the furor over the change.
I have my copy on pre-order. I hope the gameplay is so much fun that I can overlook the graphics, but man, these screens are disappointing.

Probably caused by the resolution. If you went to 1080p, I don't believe you'd have an issue with FPS.

Game looks pretty awesome on both platforms. There's times when I think the PS4 version seems like it may have better shadowing, and then there's other times where it simply just looks like it's darker, and as a result the shadows simply are easier to spot. Either way, both look great. Going to grab a copy at best buy today or tomorrow.
I'm sure there will be several patches on PC until its decent. But why use MSAA? It hogs performance and memory. Use SMAA or TXAA. Better performance and lower memory usage. Also try the 337.81 drivers. They are out.

Definitely.
I haven't taken many screenshots so far but:
I can't run it on ultra which I knew would be the case (i7 930, 6GB RAM, HD 6970) so take note that this is not maxed out or anything but running on high (and with FXAA too. I need to try some of the other AA options later and see how they affect my performance).
My copy arrived early too. Earliest I've ever received a pre-order but I ain't complaining.

I think 3GB of VRAM isn't enough for this game (at that resolution + ultra texture + msaa). Sorry bro, lower something!

remembered i lost it for black list too, but i was only like an hour in.
uplay really can suck a dick.
And it isn't even easy finding save games for these games, because steam uses a different save file type, uplay uses a different file save type, and cracked games uses a different file type.
seriously wtf.
People are right to say that GTAV looks "nicer" than WD, as in they prefer the art direction. From a technical standpoint they are not even comparable, and people who say otherwise don't have a clue. For me, it's just freakin disappointing that it doesn't look as good as it could have.. it still looks ok though.
Edit: Thanks to the above, looks like I obviously can't play with ultra textures (670 2gb) and I'll have to turn down a few more things to high. A mix of high and ultra with decent fps (~40's) is good for me.
There are also these:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUmJwZHTSA0 (unfortunately blurry in places)
Mixed reports of between 2.4gb and 2.7gb ram required for ultra
Something tells me this game won't be as bad as people making it out to be.
Relax fellas, lets just wait until we have it in ours hands/review embargos are lifted. The graphics aren't THAT bad, or bad at all. I think we are being a little spoiled due to the "next-which-is-now-current-gen" mentality that everything needs to be worlds better than the last console....we forget the PS4/XBONE ain't even a year old yet, plus companies have a different production style than others. I for one am cautiously optimistic and pretty excited for Watch_Dogs...its an interesting concept, its packed full of interesting content, seems to have a robust multiplayer ANNND just the main story ITSELF is 40+ hours long. If that isn't enough to warrant spending $60 bucks then I dunno what is.
Maybe its the old-school gamer in me speaking, but I come from the days of Atari/Colecovision and all that. Graphics are important to me, yes, but after all...a video game at its core is something you PLAY, much more than what you look at and be amazed by. There's plenty of games out there that are memorable or downright legendary and their graphics either don't stand the test of time (its FFVII for me, great game still but the graphics haven't aged well for me) or weren't up it its "generational standard."
Wait til Tuesday bros. For the ones that have it already, enjoy that shit. Everybody entitled to they opinion.
