Something about that face is just warm and comforting.

Beautiful, this whole thread has been a giant rollercoaster.

There are a ton of pedestrians and cars driving on the street in the 4v4 mode on PS4/XB1. I don't think people should be concerned about that. I love how this mode segments the city per round. There's apparently a town called Pawnee. Love it.

The only thing about this game that would annoy me is if they don't have the songs they used in the trailers available to listen to.

That's the worst thing you can do in an open world games marketing if you use liscensed songs and they are not in the game.

Can't Kill us , In the meantime/run hide and waiting for a sign are the ones I really want in game.

Anyone have access to the full music list? I know songs are a collectible, and I would like t

Nas - One Mic is in the game.

I like.
 
Ok so that PC setting may have done nothing. Someone posted comparisons in the other thread. Looks like the pics that went along with that setting were downsampled already.
 
Honestly, the graphics topic has been so beaten to death i'm not even intrested in talking about it anymore. All I know is that it looks ok in the day time, amazing at night and pretty great whenever the weather effects kick in. Yeah yeah, but tell me about the feeling of satsfying agency through the hacks, or population density/npc mannerisms or investigation missions? there's so much to talk about instead of lamenting the 2012 tech demo (see also: killzone 2).

EDIT: We still haven't seen online free roam, also more invasion mode gameplay please.

I also want to get back to the gameplay discussion. Specifically the side missions.

I'm hoping it's possible to tweak the amount of vehicles/pedestrians on the roads for PC. Wouldn't mind slightly increasing it...

Online invasion is great. I got a fancy car, parked myself under a metro station and used the hide in car option.

When the other player ran past my car, my heart raced. It's quite exciting. In the end, he ran up the station and never found me so I won.

So hyped for the invasions. They sound like a blast.
 
I might pick this up, its my bday next week so hopefully someone can grab this for me. I like what I am seeing and need some more games anyway.

Lol, thought the bannable bit was buying games through steam while using a VPN. Still, I can afford to pay full price or close to it for a PC game for once.

Nah, when I sold my AC4 that was region locked to a guy he tried using a vpn, account was banned from purchasing games forever. They must have a script to look for being activating games not in there region then switching back to their native region

There's something kinda funny about the possibility that watch dogs multiplayer will be significantly better than GTA V's and it will ship day one.

GTA is doing something alot more ambitious, essentially an MMO or evolution of RDR. Watch Dogs is TDM and invasions from what I can tell, no missions or special multiplayer scenarios like GTAs escort missions or jet vs bike races.

Speaking of jets I would love helicopters, too bad they have none.

Here are two images taken after the game loads, so the best way to get the same image on screen. One has "pc" and the other has "console". Both on High settings but Ultra textures/detail. Open them in new tabs and switch between the two.


I promise, they aren't just taken with the same settings. Or maybe they are. Can you find anything to prove they are/aren't?
 
I guess this is a given but early footage on youtube already. Stay off the the comments and uncharted trrritory to avoid spoilers. Hope'n that this turns out good. (Probably not)

Yeah, and in my opinion GTAV fails. The mechanics feel bad, and as a result everything else just feels perfunctory. I loved GTA V and the multiplayer was ok, but it wasn't fun without friends.

I guess this proves that 4K really does make a difference. I suppose with next year's cards we should be able to hit 4K pretty reliably.

Apparently, the XBox one (besides running at lower resolution) has lower resolution shadows, no SSAO (is that the correct term?) and less self-shadowing.[/QUOTE]

The author of that video posted it here earlier.

Am going with this
