[@bin806]

Ubisoft has just fooled all pc gamers. I became a fan of this game only because of breathtaking visuals and realism they showed in E3 2012. Ubisoft reduced the graphics of this game to such an extent that it doesnt look like a next gen game anymore. One reason i think is the arrival of new 'junksoles'..!!

[@OfficialObsidianGrey]

Its spec gameplay footage which means this is what they wanted it to look like. I'm actually surprised how close to this the Nvidia trailer looks.

[@ElephantMan2048]

Actually the game on PC with ultra settings looks like this. Heck, it comes close on next gen consoles when it rains anyway.

[@cge2010yt]

Hacking is our weapon

[@Xigmus]

Look guys the reason why people are mad about this isn't just the graphics. The game we are shown here is very different than the one we got. We were shown this and got something very different. Let me give you an example. It's like going to a convenient store and asking for a Caramilk chocolate bar. You wanted a chocolate bar with some caramel in it. So you buy the Caramilk but then you open it up and you get a kit kat. Sure the kitkat is a good chocolate bar, but I wanted a fucking Caramilk! It's the same thing with watch dogs. We wanted an open world game with some interesting hacks that can affect the city and hacks that NPC's react to realistically(the car crash), a very intriguing story with good character developemnt, good driving, an art style that has thick atmosphere, and innovative multiplayer. We all wanted this based off what we were shown here. Instead What we got was Press X for hacks that looses it's vanity very quickly, a mediocre to catch a predator story line, wonky driving, a really poor artstyle that looks worse than what we were shown, we got an interesting multiplayer but nothing like what they teased, and a open world setup that is exactly like assassins creed and Far Cry 3, not only that but the level we are shown here doesn't even exist in the game. On top of all of that the performance on PC was really bad and people are having all sorts of glitches and problems. This is why people are upset and hating on the game. It's because of crushing disappointment and not getting what you wanted based on a pretty false advertisement.

[@AmazingArchivist]

Best comment I've seen on this video, I love the game alot but I wish it was more like this then what we got on the final product.

[@LOLMAN22]

Even on PC the game will look nothing like this. To me this looks like concept footage, a vision of what they wanted the final version to look like. If this was playable, they would have shown a playable build in 2012. Everything we see here is canned. The AI won't respond like that to car crashes, the explosions won't be that dynamic, the atmosphere in the game won't be this good (wind carrying objects, dynamic tree sways etc). 100% bull shit trailer like the Killzone 2 CG

[@simon7109100]

The game will look like what we saw in last year in the E3 2013. It's not like this, but it's close to it, really close. Probably just different lighting. Although I don't think the AI will be that good what we see in this trailer. Yeah, the new trailer a little bit disappointing, but on Twitter Jonathan Morin said it will looks like what we saw on the E3 last year. I trust him, I hope he is not lie...

[@LOLMAN22]

simon7109 I think it might look better than the e3 2013 build cause the PS4 dev kit wasn't finished at that time. From what I saw this week, PS4 version seems to be missing AO and the wind effects have been removed entirely. Maybe it will get better as it nears the release date.

This entire first narration of this game is exactly what’s going on now in 2024

[@TXFDA]

Honestly, I blame the idiots that fell for this, more than I blame Ubisoft. This clip of the guy playing just SCREAMS "scripted events". Yeah sure, he'd just happen to walk out of the place, right as it starts raining, a dramatic train passing overhead, and a guy in the distance yelling to set the atmosphere. Sure. Ok people. I know the graphics itself were downgraded. But people fell for all the scripted bullshit too. Sure, that stuff may or may not happen in the final game. But it's still scripted. Just made to look like it's random. Same thing they do with Assassin's Creed when they show it off. I remember the uproar about Assassin's Creed 3. They showed off a guy playing the game perfectly. Every step was pre-planned, every NPC movement scripted just for this bit of gameplay. The guy ran up a tree, perfectly timed with a guard passing by. Sprinted along a thing to catch up to another guard. And then people bitched because the final game wasn't close to that. People do it all the damn time. They script out really short specific sections of a game, usually with modified graphics to look nicer, to make the game as appealing as possible. Then when the game actually comes out, they have to downgrade things to work for consoles, they can't take into consideration a player's actions, so it doesn't play out exactly like it did in the original. People just need to use their brains. Don't pre-order things. Don't buy things without looking at videos of the final game first.

[@ananonymoususer7693]

dramatic train xD

[@bryhuh5286]

TXF 4 months late but I'd like to throw this out there. The issue I have is the lack of effort... So look, you're saying most of these things are scripted and it should've been obvious, but that's a moot point because scripted or not these things could've played out in the real version of the game. They could've set a monitor so that once your conversation with Jordi ends the weather instantly changes to rain and you wouldn't know any better seeing as you're inside a building. Add a volume at the exit that when walked through, spawns a dramatic train pass. Hacking the traffic lights? The cars will just spawn relative to camera placement, whichever way you're not looking! Scripted events aren't bad, especially when they're convincing like this. They do a great job of building atmosphere and setting tone. So you know making all these things happen is possible in the game right? The issue is the lack of effort. Now... Who does the blame fall on?

Guy Brohski I have no hopes for this game. I got fooled into buying AC4 and it was in my opinion the WORST AC game(yes even 1 was better in my opinion). Ubisoft just cant make good open world games.

After playing this on both consoles... I don't really see anything different from this to the finished console. Graphics don't make a game good the story and playability does.

I just look at it, and all I can think is. "You bastards" Why couldn't they just make it on PC first, then downgrade a little for PS4/Xbox One, then Downgrade it even more for PS3/360? or better yet, don't bother with the old consoles, and just focus on making the best damn version of the game you possibly can make. I mean, there it is, looking fan-fuckin'-tastic on the PS4, why the fuck doesn't it look like in the trailer, because you had to downgrade it for inferior hardware? Try again please Ubisoft, this still has gigantic Potential, Especially if you're planning on making a sequel, I remember the First Assassins Creed being disappointing to many, but the 2nd one blew everyone's minds. Hope they can replicate that with a 2nd Watch Dogs.

Dear Console Gamers: stop wasting your money on -garbage- consoles and join the PC gamer crowd so we can make the leap to next-gen graphics already.

[@alecmcdonald9642]

Dude some people don't have the money or the patience ok?

[@AlexTechie]

Alec Mcdonald believe it or not, the price is about the same. Owning a console has a very similar TCO compared to a PC, except the cost with a Console is back-loaded while a PC is front-loaded. As far as patience goes, you waited many years for hardware that was already outdated by the time it was released. With that said, console gamers are holding back the development of next gen gaming.

[@AlexTechie]

Popa2caps Before I post a build, I think you should read my comment again because I did not say they were the exact same price. I said the costs were similar, with PCs being front-loaded and consoles being back-loaded. Also, do you factor in PS+ as part of the price of buying a PS4? Not many people buy consoles to play them offline (although that is a positive for consoles if one only plays them offline).

[@CianMcsweeney]

I have a gaming PC which I bought for €700 and built myself . I also have a ps4. I never play on my PC and my ps4 is probably more powerful for a lower cost . I have a gtx 660 8gb ram and a Intel i5 overclocked to 4.1ghz.

[@Jordo1981]

cant wait for this

[@diedRespawning]

Almost E3 2013 and im still watching this :D Cant wait for this game!

[@Jozo7O]

I really hope the ps3 version looks really good because I don't really want to get a bad looking version

[@cuntayylmao1734]

taths why there is ps4! :D

[@Jozo7O]

yeah but i wanna get it on ps3 as i have no ps4..... yet :)

[@lucky88shp]

NazoGames No! That's why you have a PC!

[@Jozo7O]

i havent got a powerful enough PC

[@cuntayylmao1734]

how do you know?

[@TIRAWM]

omg talk about DOWNGRADE, i hope WD2 looks like this hueauhae

[@ZexionZeroThe2nd]

that's what I love about it so many ways to choose on how you do your mission

[@redfoofan4618]

Hmm, a remaster… maybe?! I’d be down for that!

[@MrGillie12]

Does the graphics look like this for next gen??

[@clasifi1]

Better , but only if you buy Infamous SS (or go watch the order 1886)....Watch dogs doesn't actually look on par with the E3 demo

[@TheDartho900]

Unfortunately not :(

[@gpack999]

It looks worse.

[@Koolkid736]

***** that's cute

[@Thai101full]

***** dude you're right , i'm feeling like i'm playing one of those gta psp games , even on ps4 the night time is awesome , but the day time dosen't look better than GTA IV

[@JacobHari]

i see no Graphical difference from this E3 2012 Watch Dogs to the Current because the only difference is the Shading not the Graphics

[@Lunk42]

Ha no the detail compared to the current gen is thousands of times better.

[@JacobHari]

now that i went back and compared it, the detail is better than the final product. then i notice the lightning of this version has a darker tone and has a real feel to it and the people are more interactive . But i feel that Rockstar in a couple of years will break the mold of Graphics with GTA 6 but thats another story for another day sorry . Sorry if i went off topic for a little bit there.

[@Lunk42]

Terrell King Nah its cool man we're gamers we're meant to go off topic especially talking about each others mom's.

[@kissmyassdickhead9346]

Original story it has original multiplayer story too.

[@nikolaigman9064]

So, what happened to separate multiplayer avatars like Bixxel_44 and their "group objectives"? Coulda been groundbreaking Ubi, but you went quite on the multiplayer front for a while, and then when it reappeared good ol' Bixxel_44 was nowhere to be found. E3 isn't just for showing off a new game in a state of developmental flux - it's advertising a product to journalists and gamers, and when content is ripped out of it (eg. this demo shows what was the best mission in the game, which we never got to play, as well as graphic options such as Bokeh DOF) it can be considered as false advertising. I love this game. It has such an incredible atmosphere. It is a hell of a hard job to make walking along a sidewalk gripping. Unfortunately, much of what was promised at E3 no longer exists in the final product. Dramatic moments like a man pleading for his wife to respond who's just been shot during a "Rescue Trapped Civilian in Car" event have been removed from the game. Hell, if you look you can see here Aiden Pearce looks more like an everyman gumshoe uncle, but in the final game he's a chisle-jawed killer. This 2012 iteration had much more finesse and lot more of an identity of what it was and what it was going to be, especially in regards to the type of tale it was going to tell and the type of world it was going to portray. Still love it though.

[@paul9478]

they downgrade it cuz of consoles i guess. SHAME

[@shotgun-enjoyer]

It looks bad on all systems dipshit

[@paul9478]

MrSwaper619 I know that it looks like shit but 2012 demonstration is completely different there is no rain no shadow effect and particles.. that's why I said they downgraded it cuz only high end cards can deliver those things.

[@crippleized]

MrSwaper619 lets say that 10 is the absolute max, graphics wise. they had to lower it because the consoles couldn't handel the graphics, but when they lowered it from 10 to 6, they actually lowered it on pc too, when some pc's can handle those graphics.

[@paul9478]

Julius Thomasson yuo are right , they can keep max setting for PC and lower it for consoles only but in this case game on pc will be completely different and i guess people will complain alot about it. thats why they try to give the same product in terms of graphics for every platform. again its only my opinion.

[@mitchellmcarthur58]

yeah, but only last-gen consoles

[@kolibrimbrink5348]

ubisoft... why? why did you downgrade it so much? it was fine the way it was... i am disappointed with you, you raised the hype and now you dumped dirt on it, I know it's 2016 but does a date matter? don't get me wrong it's a good game, it's just why did you get rid of so much? I would like to see Watch Dogs 2 to look some what like this, I think everyone would, I'm not mad just disappointed is all, I still like the game and the story, I just feel like it could of been so much more, this is only my thoughts on the game, I mean it's a big let down.

[@robforge7492]

I agree, but they didn't downgrade it THAT much. It is still a gorgeous game. The version seen here has insanely good lighting and rain effects. I'd say the finished product isn't that much worse, it just lost some of the polish and details. I do think that Watch_Dogs 2 will probably look like the demos for this game considering graphics have improved noticeably in the past few years.

[@kolibrimbrink5348]

True, I'm just waiting to see if they actually release the second installment.

[@kevinveguilla4026]

+Riley6 Family the trailer for watch dogs 2 Is on their channel

[@sadfaceevan]

Kolibrim Brink I think they just were on a bad deadline

[@_justcoolin_9789]

Kolibrim Brink I’m just waiting to see if they release an e3 version of watch dogs 1

[@IncCorps]

Man this was ages ago and i haven't even seen the last bit!

[@fennekinbraixen7424]

Can someone tell me what was that at the end? It seems like it was 2 player online story mode or something like that... it's like one player controlled one character from the story and another player controlled another.. I wonder if they took that out cause it didn't work well, I honestly don't see how that would work

[@israelipatriot-israelisfvi9979]

When is this game comes out ?

[@DC-ee9de]

About one year ago

[@israelipatriot-israelisfvi9979]

Herp Derp I know what your talking about. year ago there were a game similar with the same name. But im talking about this game.

[@DC-ee9de]

Israeli patriot- Israeli SF videos This is that game.

[@israelipatriot-israelisfvi9979]

Herp Derp No, its not.

[@DC-ee9de]

[@clasifi1]

Nop....The PC version doesn't look like this.

[@LotrMations]

clasifi1 you're right it looks better

LotrMations no it doesn't...

[@bombach007]

George Steele I'm sorry, but it does. Deal with it.

[@PXLDUST1997]

bombach007 No, seriously, the game looks like shit on the pc. This is coming from an eletist. The game also runs poorly. If you don't believe me, go to Totalbiscuit's POV.

[@aterikasedi]

Do it remaster or next gen versiyon Ubi.

[@weirdo3381]

Is this Xbox 360 or PC with a 360 controller connected. I hope it's Xbox 360 because I want my game to look good like this. I don't have a PS4 yet.

[@thelithiumplays5686]

They downgraded the game so the ''next gen'' could run it. if xbox and ps lived up to there standards this is the games we could play but nope console peasants are stuck with 792p graphics and 30 fps

[@teshaun9568]

1080p and 60fps for me so...

[@teshaun9568]

U talking about Xbox one lol

[@teshaun9568]

That too

[@jinthekingkazama1159]

@@teshaun9568 (i know this is 3 years ago but i still disagree of what you said right now) you're comparing PLAYSTATION and XBOX just like the others........ why such a nonsense "Which console is better?" fight?

The weapon wheel in this shows ur hacks while the one in the game shows weapons and crafts, why is it like that or is there a way to switch from weapons to hacks

also For those who have PC, theres a mod from TheWorse that unlocks the hidden files or effects used during this E3. its still WIP but the full version will be 1.0 just search Guru 3D watch dogs

downgrade dogs

i’m still going to keep my hopes up

[@fazm1bico]

For me the Disco bar scene is amazing, the photorealism God

[@VincentDeLuca2003]

Even though I loved the game, I look back at this and wonder what it could have been.

[@FuzzyGamingPro]

I have a i5-4440 and a GTX 750 storm OC is that ok to run this game?

[@Mowens1984]

I thought that was one of the coolest moments of the demo. It made the bullets feel like they really had a punch.

[@steamboat4853]

Aside from the cool focus effect the PC version looks exactly like this

[@ex_0LL]

This is pure art.

[@Crumpmiester]

This demo was more dramatic and eye - catching than the entire finished game.

[@lugiarocks10]

Oh my god this is beautiful.

[@cowboy2631]

What hurt even more than the downgrade was after painstakingly scanning briefcases across the map, the actual mission where i got to kill DeMarco turned out to be just another convoy mission. Least they could have done was kept this mission.

[@Hiltonium]

It turns out the game disc contained hidden graphics files that when activated, make the game look like the E3 2012 version. TheWorse created a PC mod that does this. www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-07-23-watch-dogs-enhanced-graphics-mod-gets-a-final-release

[@-Gal4xy-]

Not exactly true...Yes there are E3 Files leftover but the graphics are not in the game anymore...some remnants here and there from 2013 but that's about it..Idk who claimed the E3 Graphic files are still in the game because they really aren't

[@TriggerzConnors]

Aiden Pearce's face is so better than release version.

[@alphaprogaming9328]

there will definatly be a watch dogs 2, cause ubisoft said they wouldn't make a game unless they could make it into a series. I cant wait for watch dogs!!

[@loganshinski8471]

Ubisoft should have a contest for the next watchdog game for the next name or something like that.

[@RenkeN2]

This game deserves a remaster!!!!
