Hey guys i got both (PS4 and Xbox One) version today and did a graphic comparison:
All scenes are from the first 20 minutes.

Pretty good comparison, clearly worse Ambient Occlusion and lower res shadows on the XB1.

Watch_Dogs |OT| PS4 would probably melt trying to do this

Dangit, Dawg. I can't stay mad at a face like that. Any chance others would be able to edit their quotes?
Running on High with Ultra textures (w/ MHBAO Ambient Occlusion and Temporal SMAA) I have drops below 30 fps with the Asus DCII 280x and 3570k. It's mostly 30s and 40s during normal gameplay with mid-high 50s only occurring inside or in back alleys.
A faster CPU will probably help with some frames, but I'm not sure it can bump it up to a constant 60.
Well, to be completely honest with you... The face she made + the part where you hack her and the rape thingy came up, I found that quite funny.
But the gif loses the context of that image and makes the "rape" stand out more in a negative light, which was in bad taste. And I guess it makes me look childish.
So yeah, that's about it. I admit I have a very strange sense of humour at times, and sometimes something seems funny in my head, but ends up being wrong. I don't have a problem admitting that.

I find that DF has been pretty slow with comparisons lately, where is the DF analysis?
I've just seen the PC version 4k pics and although it's obviously have a very clean IQ as any other 4K pic in history, it still have the same downgraded look of the PS4 version.
I remember clearly that just recently Ubisoft promised us PC version= E3 2012, why did they lie like that? they though we wouldn't notice it's pretty much the same as PS4?

It's not out yet. They don't do comparisons until release date at least.
You won't see a DF analysis until after the review embargo has lifted.

Unless they have the final build of the PC version and the latest drivers they need to wait. I'm tired of their pre-ejaculated articles lately. Let the game marinate after release for a while and then do a comparison.
I feel so defeated :'(
Lol no worries, for what it's worth I found it funny too, but then again I have I dark sense of humour.

Thats an interesting idea. The guns/gadgets, the contextual climbing and stealth mechanics definitely look like they are ripped straight out from conviction. Even the sound design is surprisingly similar. The hacking in invasion mode sound exactly like the hacking in the coop mode from conviction.

I was looking forward to this game, but this whole negativity surrounding it really killed my hype. I hate that I got so influenced by everyone's opinions, but having gone to FanExpo last year, where they demoed last year's E3 build, compared to the footage now it really is a shame but they definitely compromised a lot of the visuals... Will wait for impressions before buying this one.
Right? Here's the first footage back in 2007: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApguMYpnD5s
Seems like they were going for a more open and dynamic approach to Splinter Cell back then.
I can accept the downgrade,shit happens, problem is that they are still denying it and even lie to us by claiming that the PC version will be E3 2012 Quality, which it's clearly not the case now that we've seen it, how do they have the nerve?

I cancelled my pre order today. Lost my faith on this game. I was watching the streaming today for a while it looks blend And boring. Put my money towards The Last of Us instead since I never played on ps3 (and I'm sure is a better game than WD)
Daaamn it's been so long already? That looked way better in my memory! lol

Yeah that too is something that really is bothering me. I think that Ubi aimed too high with the whole hacking idea, and it backfired in the end,
I am on the same boat. I'm in college and money is something that doesn't come as easily as when I used to work full time. These next few months are filled with releases too.
Why would you post that.

[QUOTE="D";113182264]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.[/QUOTE]
Agreed with everything you said here, except one. FFVII is still just as beautiful to me today as it was back then. I possess an ability to easily jump back in time graphically, and not miss the visual advancements we've made. That said, I think watch_dogs looks quite a bit better graphically than it is getting credit for. It has a very clean look to its overall graphical presentation, and as a result of that clean look, people are misconstruing that as the game somehow being ugly. Are there unflattering looking parts of this game based on available media? Yes, but I don't think that hurts the game nearly as much as some are saying.
I'm also excited by the concept of this game.

That's definitely close to the overall quality of the first footage.
Are these PS3/PC (high/ultra) comparisons yet ?

Game is alright so far. Only put in about an hour and change, just fucking around in the city. Was streaming but when I checked on the site it seems it was blocked from viewing on the site until release, so I guess only PS4 owners could view it.
Edit: Gonna continue shortly, if it works it works:

Seems theres no HBAO on X1, and as you said lower res shadows, maybe lower res textures but that part is hard to tell on youtube.
Just to illustrate
That comparison was really well done, and I honestly think they are pretty close. Sure the PS4 has better shadow resolution and slightly sharper textures but the XBO version is certainly no slouch.
Still waiting for reviews but I'm wowed by the amount of posts in this thread... A lot of hype for this game during the drought of tripple A titles I suppose.

Agreed, Although after downloading the AC mod for it and the tifa bootleg it truly looks prestine for a game from 1997.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Actually no, they changed the character model because the old one had bone issues with the lip sync. It's been changed since tgs 2013. And it's the SAME character, same dialogue, same voice.
