@ABraptor124 жыл бұрын
@@strohhuttv8848 there are many mods that you can download that add alot of the effects not present in the released game. But as for wind/partical effects. The wind effects we see in the demo are scripted, as is most of the npc interactions and the news cast playing in the background. So nothing can recreate these scripted events. As for the physics engine used. It is called physX. It is an Nvidia engine and at the time of release (2012-2014) no graphics card could run it smoothly above 20-30 fps. Even still, the base game is verry GPU heavy, no matter what your opinions on the visuals are. Along with being poorly optimized. This engine is also why car crashes look so heavy and beefy in the E3 demo compaired to the base release along with seeing cans and cups blow realistically across the ground Many of the NPC scripts still exist deep in the game files, such as, NPC reacting to crashes and collisions. And reacting to the players reputation as the vigilante. But in the base game these encounters are minimal, though I assume there are mods out there to solve this problem or if you have the know-how you could do it yourself. But for non programmers I recommend mods Such as the "living city mod" that adds alot more random encounters and variation that the base game lacked. Most mods like the "worsemod" increase the npc density which also allows for more variation with npc interactions. Graphic speaking, the games lighting had been re-done alongside rain and particle effects, reflections, and the way ambient occlusion interacts with the geometry. I've also noticed that the "windy fall/winter tone and coloring" got replaced with a more warm and summer tones, which could possibly be fixed by reshade but I'm not sure. There is also a great mod team lead by a guy named KAOS who is attempting to add pretty much all of the original E3 effects, even the ones that havent been added in other mods, and I look forward to when it gets released. But I wouldn't hold your breath. Modding watch dogs is verry hard and time expensive. They have been in development for over 3 years or so. All in all, I think watch dogs is a good game. Just sadly got overhyped. I like to call it the Halo 2 syndrome. The dev's push so hard to make a fantastic looking game, with a brand new engine, physics, and game play. Only to find out that hardware wasn't progressed enough to run it outside of the " dev super computers" and "dev console's". Though I can see why people felt upset and felt like they where lied too, and I think ubisoft should have been more transparent with these changes, but I Cannot fault a game developer for trying to push the boundaries on game engines and system barriers.

I don't understand why ubisoft did not simply add another preset called "extreme", where even a GTX Titan Black with an Intel 6 Core CPU just gets 15 FPS. Just for future PC configurations. To prevent gamers to complain that they are not able to play with highest settings ubisoft could hide this option in a .ini file.

Crap happens, stuff gets changed in development all the time. The problem is that unlike, say, Nintendo or CD Projekt who show trailers of the actual, current version and thus allow you to see the downgrades, upgrades, or changes as they happen, Ubisoft and Ea and Activision like to delay as long as they can, showing bullshots and dolled up video long after they know it'simpossible. It's a matter of transparency.

The hate for this game is largely overblown. Like, yeah, the lighting and effects suffered, corporations are bad, yadda yadda. By and large, the graphics still hold up today, even on consoles. I just got the game for PS4 after enjoying Legion, and must say: I resent the community for putting me off trying it all these years far more than I ever resented Ubisoft's devs. It's an astoundingly great game.

This comment is accurate. My first Watchdogs game was Legion on PS5. Went back and played 2 when it got FPS Boosted on Series X. Avoided 1 because of all the hate and claims of downgraded and ‘shit graphics’. Bought it today as it’s also now FPS Boosted on Series X, and honestly I am amazed at how well this game holds up in nearly 2022. It’s kind of insane. I don’t know how people were not used to devs putting out mocked up trailers, it happens all the time and was nothing new back then, and this isn’t even the most egregious. I think people just had way higher expectations of what the One and PS4 were capable of as this game released going into a new gen. But overall the game still looks phenomenal for the time, and I think it looks better than 2 in many aspects. I stopped trusting critics and other players’ opinions a long time ago though, and glad I am finally getting around to this one.

The games still look great, even if they're not exactly how they were in trailers. First game I played was watchdogs 2, then got watchdogs on sale. Only game I was disappointed about was Legion because I pre-ordered it and it had a ton of performance issues at launch. Other than that, mostly solid entries. My ranking is 2, 1, legions.

The graphics look great by todays standards because they haven't ever been able to reach the E3 2012 standards of graphics and animiation quality. Leading me to believe everything from the "gameplay showcase" was likely pre-rendered and made to just look like someone was playing it in real-time.

@ZachBrannigan8 жыл бұрын
Because PC versions nowadays are pure ports. There's no graphical difference other than the ability to spice the engine slightly compared to the original console version. It's made for consoles because they are all the same and easy to optimize for, and the developers will make compromises graphically to meet the necessity of the "target devices", or consoles if acting corporate doesn't help. In other words, they give zero shits about PC gamers because console gamers are more abundant.

A lot of people seem to get offended by this game. To me this was a great game, mostly because I never watch trailers of games before they release, Marketing mostly lie to make sales and it should be expected at this point. This is still one of the best games I played during 2014. I also noticed how someone compared this to GTA 4. I Played both three weeks ago and felt offended for the first time by a comment. GTA 4 Ai textures and vehicles felt below watchdogs. People need to learn to adapt and accept that the E3 trailer was a cinematic fake. Watchdogs was great except the fact they did not have many particle effects or smooth/ ambient lighting. I also hear people complain about the characters but compared to most game plots, they were actually good.

Not really. In fact it doesn't at all. No reflections in that form it was showcased in the trailer, no depth of field (when closer objects are in focus and everything on the background gets blurry, light takes the form of circles), no physics of crashes comparing to the original, no explosion with particles as it was in original. It is almost different game to be honest. This is why I do not buy ubisoft games for more than 4 years. They are just off, all of them. Probably Watch Dogs 2 redeems the UbiSoft failures, but 1 game is just not enough. Gaming Community notices everything, and already states, that U. games are one of the worst on the market. Though kids, whose parents still buy them UbiSoft products are huge part of the audience, which spoils overall bad statistics making UbiSoft keeping up their shitty work. Nevertheless they will remain in gaming history as the company who released average and bad games on the regular basis. Money is not everything. But for them it is.
