Watch_Dogs [4k] + Natural & Realistic lighting mod - "Windy City"

[@Shieftain]

The mods are pretty impressive, but what even more impressive is the video editing done here.

[@Danvsw]

+Shieftain Thank you

[@Mikri90]

Yeah, I don't have much to say on the actual mod, except that it looks good, but the way you "directed" and edited the video is spot on.

[@nathanlester9985]

man i remember ppl hating on watch dogs.. i loved it, and to see that someone took the time here to almost recreate its visual aspect puts a smile on my face.

[@erman96]

Oh my god mate you should work for Ubisoft.Honestly this video is even better than e3 2012 trailer great job!!!

[@Danvsw]

+erman şen Thanks man

[@vivienicimaispaslabas6236]

I watch a lot of videos about graphics mods and shit and I've never really got impressed by those but damn boy.... this looks perfect The colors are natural and beatiful, the trees movements are flawless, the lighting effects are so realistic and the textures are awesome... good job buddy, you are probably the best modder I have ever seen

[@enzotibirica8458]

It felt like the movie ´´Drive´´ Great job

[@Danvsw]

Thanks!

[@Danvsw]

Just downloaded to check and it works fine. Try deleting it and re-downloading.

[@Danvsw]

I plan to, I'm saving for a better PC so I can make all my future videos at 4k60.

[@23100Battlefield]

I watch this video about 2 times a day now, I can't believe how realistic this looks. This is better than anything NVidia could ever do. Props to you. The city buildings are more than photorealistic. I don't know if you will be abe to achieve the same realism with GTA 5 though because it doesn't have as realistic architecture as watch dogs, too bad. But I'm amzed we have omone as taented as you working on a gta 5 mod

[@Danvsw]

Thank you mate. You're right, GTA 5 won't have the same realism. In some ways it will look less realistic, in some ways more. The games have very different strengths and weaknesses.

[@Ccodebits]

This looks absolutely amazing. The game, and your video editing.

[@Fauxvale]

Even years later this is still the most beautiful game in some ways.. thank you Dan.

[@makeadime]

Hell yeah !

[@bigdigdoraemon5063]

This video and the music made for each other... The video flows perfectly with the music...

[@KNGLeonidas99]

o man this mods is even better that e3 2012 gameplay wow

[@FirstMomentsOf]

Watch dog's water, depth of field , lightening and textures look so damn good!

[@HunterTinsley]

I had more fun watching this than I did playing WD.

[@chrisslyi]

guy, what the actual fuck? I never enjoyed a video game video that much. You are bringing in so much atmosphere and the music matches perfectly. In addition with your video rendering skills this is just superb. Keep up the good work.

[@Danvsw]

Thank you mate appreciate it

[@mkdash2665]

Now imagine a RAY TRACING update for the goddamn game .... with this mod... RTX 2080 ti - Dies.......

[@fuadabdulkader1619]

This video is just plain amazing! Very skillful editing and a fantastic choice of music! It really adds to the experience. Bravo!

[@Danvsw]

Thank you mate!

[@032_m.alfathcirrus5]

Man they made great animations back then, what happened? I mean look at Wildlands, Origins, and Watch_Dogs 2.

[@BettercallRaf445]

i love the watchdogs 1 take down and ac unity stealth kills

[@032_m.alfathcirrus5]

Raf_ 27 Back then when they care about animations

[@ЕвгенийШабанов-ъ5э]

After applying the mod game looks just amazing. Thank you very much for your work. I got a real visual pleasure playing it. Greetings from Russia )!

[@okaybutwhythough7456]

Да блин,и тут меня свои нашли. Мод смотрится отлично если добавить reshade от rudy102 и maldo hd текстуры. Watch dogs это настоящая некст ген игра.

[@x__lowprofile__x1914]

You're video really made me cry it's so well edited and the music was very nice but also I'm so happy people still love and take time to make mods for watch dogs 1 and video's to than you man you made my day. Keep making more video's of wd please btw you have 1 new sub and a like 👊

[@Danvsw]

Thanks buddy

[@AttorneyK]

Love the editing and music coming together. Good work, Danvsw.

[@Danvsw]

+Ken Kusanagi Thanks mate

[@jsade]

Vosswar Can I ask you where you found that music? Fits perfectly to the editing of this type of video.

[@marcdwonn9772]

Best lighting mod that ever existed for Watch_Dogs! We miss you man, hope you will be back some day with more of your magic.

[@hamishsgarage]

I LEGIT THOUGHT THAT WAS REAL LIFE

[@Chad123-g3d]

+Hamish240sx check out brigade engine, real time path tracing and tell me what you think

[@lucasnooker]

+Rubert max oh hey dude! xD its the same guy who argued about doom 4 on dsps vid! xD

[@Chad123-g3d]

lucasnooker You got a solid memory dude lol

[@lucasnooker]

Rubert max i have yeah xD i thought the name stuck out at me lol. cant believe you were damage controlling cod but are talking about new engines xD whatever mate no beef lol. just play games :P

[@Chad123-g3d]

lucasnooker lol no you got it wrong, my initial comment was about how bad Doom was, someone must've mentioned Cod so i said it's worth playing over Doom. Actually last Cod game i played was black ops 2 so i'm certainly not a Cod fanboy

[@GoldenCoastGTA]

You're that guy who came up with the best GTA IV ENB of all time. I respect your work man. Nobody ever came close to such level of realism.

[@Danvsw]

+The XXI Thanks man appreciate it

[@anantawicaksono2108]

Better Than GTA V Redux

[@CuongNguyen-cq6zh]

I don't even care about Watch Dogs but the editing and the music.. so damn good. Huge props to using Lazerhawk, a kick ass biker suit and a Trans Am for that 80s feel :) Awesome lighting mod as well.

[@Danvsw]

+Mạnh Cường Nguyễn (MrHax) Yep, I have a "slight" obsession with the 80s. Thanks mate!

[@visnyliss]

That editing is pure Outrun goodness. Great job on that. The mod looks fantastic!

[@Danvsw]

+jimmysaint13 Thanks!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH ORGASMO.

[@guilhermeoraggio9951]

Que delicia cara

[@ABC-in2le]

I installed this and its amazing, it even works with Bad Blood!

[@williamwen3477]

meanwhile modders are more care to the game rather than the lazy ubisoft

[@kribz4576]

If only games did look like this on release

[@Remix-e4u]

It looks like the raining makes the game beautiful . I wanted it all time raining that I have now. Without mods raining always made the texture beautiful in Watch_Dogs. Thank you.

[@JoshuaCBrown]

This is awesome, man. Thanks for including all of the mods into one compilation.

[@Blipblobit]

Looks incredible; this is gonna make the wait for my new GPU even more difficult.

[@StormieMcTrooper]

I love how you used the helmet and not the default cap + mask

[@soovincho]

makes me miss home... job well done!

[@usmanwarraich1000]

This man made made better graphics than RTX

[@NVX228]

fr he really did

[@phon14593]

This is by far the most impressive visual upgrade mod for Watchdogs.

[@BerezenkoIlya]

Well, what can I say. This is a masterpiece, my friends. Real Neon-Noir. Nicolas Winding Refn would be proud! So cinematographic, satisfying, perfectly edited! And the sound. Man, this is definitely one of the best videos I saw in my whole life!

[@Danvsw]

Thanks a lot man!

[@ray4493]

And now it looks like the 2012 trailer.

[@HeySlickThatsMe]

Razor X doesn't

[@jsade]

It looks much better than that

[@HeySlickThatsMe]

CobraGamer Yep

[@theOSMaxwell]

Fell in love with the editing... Nice work man! Although I still think the explosions need some work. But damn forgot that this game looks amazing

[@Danvsw]

+theOS Maxwell Thanks man!

[@RedSunsSHChan]

The mod graphics is still impressive in 2018

[@harryrigbyofficial]

Watchdogs 1 was so much better than 2... 1 was way more enjoyable

[@DarrenAshenOne]

WD2 was full of fuckin' hipsters that's why, man i hated them, didn't finish that one myself, gameplay was good tho..

[@harryrigbyofficial]

Yeah man i loved the atmosphere of 2 like the street life but they left two much empty space by making the city sooooo big... like in watchdogs 1 you could walk anywhere and something would be happening but in 2 you had to walk abit to actually come across anything happening...

[@DarrenAshenOne]

That's true, I only did side stuff tho, cuz the story was to dumb to care tbh.. Btw I just installed this mod on WD and it's something else, looks really good I'm impressed, time to kill Lucky Quinn again I guess.

[@harryrigbyofficial]

ahahaha if i get my head round how to do it i might do the same

[@DarrenAshenOne]

Well it's just copy and paste, nothing fancy, I really like it, the biker outfit is really cool although I don't have that helmet for some reason.

[@cylet_8631]

holy shit, what version of your mod was this at 1:15 ? i seriously cant imagine how a modder could do a better job than ubisoft, respect man!

[@Danvsw]

Thanks mate, all footage is from the main version

[@emboar9889benchmarks]

I can't wait to try your mod, your videos make me want to install this game again and play it.

[@Danvsw]

+emboar9889 You should mate, take a break from GTA :)

[@emboar9889benchmarks]

+Danvsw Is the stutter problem still there? I wasn't able to play with my 770 back then.... even at low settings, stuttering was noticeable

[@Danvsw]

+emboar9889 I'm not sure, I haven't noticed any stutter personally

[@batmanrus5489]

a very large and high-quality work

[@Irrelavant__]

Finally I can get back to this game.It looks amazing you really did a great job, kudos!

[@Danvsw]

+NoisyTrip_ Thanks mate!

[@hoejacjil]

Is this the same game that I played?

[@sskfjkhwer]

shit props to you mate. this is actually an extremely nice set of mods. doesn't over saturate, not too heavy of the dof, nice little tweaks here and there. really helps make the game look next gen. :)

[@Danvsw]

Thank you mate

[@darkipede7754]

the river and ocean looks so realistic

[@PlayTown3]

Most realistic montage ever! awesome, looks way too life like. DAMN

[@Quast]

Man I should play Watch_Dogs a second time considering the location of Watch_Dogs 2 was so much less interesting! I'm usually not a fan of mods, but this here is something else!

[@Cleric775]

Also, it doesn't represent California- the reality of what's really going on. The game makes it look less of a shithole.

[@Quast]

Yeah, I've seen the homeless street camps in the media, and not just a few of them! :/

[@sunny_senpai]

Amazing video! Job well done! This game has the best water, rain, drop effects and screen space reflection I've ever seen. Explosions on slow motion really looks epic! whereas GTA V has some glitchy explosions with wonky particle effects.

[@KhaledKardos]

better than watch dogs 2( in terms of graphics) like if you agree

[@Block-G]

Тащусь от Этой Музыки и видео! ШИКАРНО ПРОСТО! САМЫЙ КРУТОЙ И ЛУЧШИЙ МОД НА ВОТЧ ДОГС!!! СВЕТЛАЯ ПАМЯТЬ ЕГО СОЗДАТЕЛЮ!

[@Blade8Nr]

I love the "Drive" vibes from this video + music :)

[@joseromero399]

this lightning looks amazing

[@thuglifeanthonygamer3951]

I watched your GTA 4 graphics mod videos and it perfectly looked awesome, but after watching your watchdogs videos, I was like WTF, this looks better than your GTA 4 videos!!!!

[@1LERS1]

That's how game should've been...

[@1LERS1]

***** I don't think so...

[@1LERS1]

***** And...You do?...

[@1LERS1]

***** Well, I don't think that developers will make something, and then just leave it untouched, eating up free space, being "hidden". Fan mods are made from outside of game, not from inside, that I know for sure.

[@1LERS1]

***** I'm not programmer, but I actually know some from Nexus, and that's enough to be sure about what i'm saying. Now I will excuse myself, because this argument seems too silly for even discussing it.

[@TestCrafted]

He's right, they wouldn't wall off graphics settings, they'd probably leave some areas of the game untouched and cut from the final product, but if they were going to get rid of graphics settings, they'd leave no trace of them.

[@8Paul7]

Amazing video. Watch Dogs gets a lot of bad rep on the net, and some of it deserved (story is underwhelming) but it looks amazing and it plays fantastically. Probably the best Ubisoft AAA game of the last 5 years.

[@JozuzoJ]

+8Paul7 Agreed. Once I re-enabled the "E3 mode" and installed that lighting mod, it ran beautifully and looked insanely gorgeous, especially at night with the street lights. The atmosphere of that game combined with the way the game played was extremely fun. People didn't give it enough credit.

[@Chad123-g3d]

need for speed 2015 looks more photoreal but this is great too

[@segamanxero]

The google drive links in the guru3d forum thread appear to be dead.

Just download the "worse mod"..

i think this is the best video of wd

[@DuckiMucky]

man you are the best graphic mods maker out there i wish someone will make a first person mod for Watch dogs and than the game will be amazing and i will be able to use it with virtual reality

[@L-likelike]

Wow.. Its kind of art.... Sincerely,you are the best enb maker of the 21 century

Oh shit, that looks excellent. Also props on the Outrun vibe, I'll check it out.

[@Danvsw]

+deadhawk1212 Thanks bud

I like the end when the lights shut down.

[@ScureHD]

Awesome mods and nice editing. The game looks real.

[@Danvsw]

+ScureHD Thanks mate

[@zaldhydarwin2573]

the only thing i hate about WD is the driving physics/mechanics.. i hope they change it on WD 2

[@thewrath5391]

This is so fricken cool. I gues 4k remakes/releases of games could be a thing soon with PS4k or whatever it's caalled

[@verycalmgamer4090]

+The Wrath i dont think the new ps4 will be able to handle that

[@EpicPianoArrangements]

If only someone had the capabilities to give Watch Dogs some Screenspace reflections like they did with GTA V. Really added a whole new dynamic (even though it wasn't true reflections), it still added a major sense of realism to the game.

[@anonymous_dot_com2326]

Oh

[@Impaler67]

Looks like you gave a new life to this game Thanks buddy, i enjoyed

[@Chad123-g3d]

he did but there is a reveal this e3 for the sequel i think

dude amazing video! i never thought watch dogs could look so good. but how did you change the player?

[@Danvsw]

Thanks mate, the outfit mod is Biker Aiden minimod by infiniium. It's included with the lighting mod and can be found in the in-game clothes store.

[@MeRiJohnny]

[@chrizz_b]

I totally LOVE this mod, it made my game look FAR more better than the original experience, you totally deserve more subs and views, for a 2014 game that got downgraded drastically, you took it and beat the shit out of it until it looked nice. Hope you do this with more games!

[@sparkbag_]

can someone explain how to install this mod? I tried doing what it explains on the page but the instructions are unclear. What are the steps one by one to obtain the same graphics in this video?

[@dystopianserenity]

i won't explain it here because it's too complicated, but look up on how to install mods for watch_dogs (f.e. on yt) and download the mod from the page given in the description. I think it doesn't exactly look as good as in the video, but it's very beautiful indeed and i recommend everyone to play with it.

[@dystopianserenity]

@Shahid Shbool glad to help :)

[@abdullahzafar4401]

thunderxfog do you know how use reshade with Watchdogs ...?

[@abdullahzafar4401]

thunderxfog are you using this mod ? If yes did you also use reshade ..?

[@irulajah3228]

Just copy and paste to game directory.

[@borisbartkowski3061]

God! It's looks better as the E3 Trailer. Are the mods in your description the only one you use? No Texture Pack or something?

[@sephiroth399]

that looks amazing, if only the devs made it look like this in the first place.
