most ironic , if they show retail graphics in this video , this game will not be overhyped and not be failure project .And i think we can saw better reviews and community reaction on this very good and interesting game .

[@ardentparagon159]

@@magicmamba915 It was more than just the graphics, I don't give a shit about the graphics. This game had so much nuance and persistent elements to it shown in these videos that are just not really part of the game. Everything from you walking up to the club to the car crash seem to have this believable nuance to it, npc dont just scream swear and run away, they actually freak out and cower in their cars and have conversations amidst the chaos. You can fluidly choose to save that person stuck in the car and thats just one example of stuff not found in the game. The graphical downgrade is just part of what was removed from the game.

If you play on PC, you can enable all of these graphical/visual features. They're still in the game, just turned off.

[@stevebalmer8888]

You are completely missing the point people who are making the trailer are the promotion team, completely different to the devs... Promotion teams job is to promote the game in the best light possible... And they did their job well... Just like with any other type of advertisements... Have you ever wondered why food in the adverts look so good? Most of the time it's not even real... The point is to fake it as much as possible to make it look good, the goal is to make you want to buy the product, no matter the cost or the lies, they get paid money for that... So when you detach that promotion team from the rest of the company and its greed that sits at the base of every capitalistic major company, all it comes down to for them is making more money, cutting all the possible corners... They are completely detached from reality, as an example with micro or with Blizzard presenting a Diablo immortal mobile game to PC gamers... Those corporate f* **s don't give a damn about quality of their products, they only care about maximizing profit margins... Bottom line is if it's mainstream and corporate 9 times out of 10 it's going to be sh*t. Sad world we live in but it's the truth...

[@DerMatze86]

@@stevebalmer8888 In this case, the promotion and the developer worked closely together. The video is nothing artificial like CGI, it is completely in-game footage. That means everything that can be seen was made by developers, maybe because the guys from the promotion told them that, regardless of whether it can be implemented later in the game. But basically you are right, advertising is always fake and never reflects the actual product. But just because that is the standard, we shouldnt stop getting angry about it, because this is the only way companies are forced not to exaggerate the fake. And it worked, Ubisoft never had such an immense downgrade after that.

[@dragonhold4]

*Persistence!!!* -I think this is the elusive quality that was missing from the released game, that was shown here. (1:04) - The club: Instead of being instanced, was already active and even had believable NPCs lined up outside and going in. (1:55) - The bouncer: Instead of standing around, only waiting to reject the Player, he is actively checking the tickets of anyone who is in line. (2:54) - The snitch: Instead of being just a disembodied voice, was actually in the club and only activated her dialogue once Pierce entered her cone of vision. (5:07) - The guards, instead of singling out Pierce from the moment he entered the club, only started searching for Pierce after the call and they did so without disrupting the other patrons. (5:22) - The Target I: Instead of being spawned in some "office on the 3rd floor", he had to get into a car and travel to the club. (6:40) - The innocent bystanders: Instead of popping out the cars equipped with all manner of bad words directed towards the Player, were still in their car in most cases injured and could be rescued. (7:46) - The assault rifle: Instead of instantly becoming a static collectable on the ground, recognized that its NPC holder was going to die allowing Aiden to seamlessly "swap" weapons. (7:58) - The gas station: Instead of exploding immediately after the intersection crash, took time to burn and grew into a "set-piecing" explosion later in the fight. (8:12) - The Target II: Instead of running around like an idiot with inflated HP, is still trapped injured in the car and lets his goons handle the fighting. III: Instead of the door being the only access to the Target, Aiden was able to enter the interior space of the car through the window and pull him out. (8:46) - The Wanted System: Instead of immediately showing to the scene and having a GPS-like precision on the Player, it took actual time for the cops to come. Which gives the implied perception that they had to actually travel from a headquarters or nearby patrol route. The significance of this Gameplay Trailer isn't in the Graphics as the mob may suggest at every opportunity. It is something far more subtle and in the background. *The brilliance of it is in the way the developers set "32 of the Chess Pieces on the Board" instead of just the cold, optimized bare minimum of 12 necessary to set up a passable mission.* They had so many background elements in Persistence that when it was time for the Player to act, several things were already in play. Which brings the Grand Potential of having many components for a skilled Player to strategize with and potentially manipulate to their advantage. For every moment there was always multiple things at play in this preview which made it seem so Believable and almost Photorealistic.

[@jeremienicolas9386]

This game was clearly rushed by launch and ubisoft treated this game as if it were a cash grab instead of an opportunity to make a mark in next-gen gameplay the same way Naughty Dog did with Uncharted, Rocksteady with Batman Arkham, or CD Projekt Red with The Witcher 3. My guess is that they didn't realize how popular the demo would be after they revealed it to us at e3 and then were rushed to finish the game so they can still profit off of the hype instead of being patient and making the only open-world game that could possibly rival GTA V.

When the indies are able to have better ideas for tittles and have the budget, soon this company will collapse along with their AC series, FC series and Ghost Recon series which somehow managed to give them good reputation still. I'm thinking that new Splinter Cell will be a backup plan for them to revive the company when everything goes bad. Out of nostalgia, those who played Splinter Cell series are now grown ups who will then spend all their money for new Splinter Cell. This nostalgia method was done by movie companies like Disney.

This game was very real, this Demo was a small cut from the game that they were developing since 2009 , the massive success of AC2 allowed them to spread wider into multiple projects but the biggest concern with Watch_Dogs was that the original story was waaayyyy too edgy and dark. The demo being played in this video was not pre-rendered, journalists in Los Angeles were allowed to play the game at the actual event venue that very July 5th of 2012 (E3) , which is why different gaming channels have this demo played a bit differently, VG247 shows different inputs too. We're never gonna get this game, but we could, if we really really organized...try to get Ubisoft to release this very Demo , is the best we could get.

Cosas que no se incluyeron o cambiaron: Esta mision La cara de Aiden y Jordi (Lucen mas viejos y detallados) Aiden tambalea su cabeza al andar Aiden tenía mucho mas cabello El clima es diferente con goteras en las esquinas de los edificios por ejemplo El HUD y la fuente de este son ligeramente diferentes El takedown que hace Aiden contra el guardia no está en el juego En la esquina (Min 6:28) hay un reloj que marca las 8:15 (desconozco si está en el juego final,) Los peatones interactuan con el accidente de tráfico (Y morir en ellos a causa de Aiden) Los peatones pueden usar taxis y probablemte motos (aunque aquí no se vea) Los reflejos en los coches parecen ser en tiempo real (como raytracing) Los edificios parecen tener al menos una textura con objetos por dentro, en lugar de solo luces y texturas planas para simular. Los graficos evidentemente son mas detallados (humo en las alcantarillas, niebla, DoF, texturas muy superiores a el preset ultra de PC) Las luces del cartel del teatro tienen efecto de teselación (osea que sobresalen y no son planas como en el juego real) El modo concentración es diferente Las explosiones son totalmente diferentes (incluso quedan cenizas cayendo y afectan a los coches) Min 6:23 : El edificio del fondo luce de muuuy baja calidad Es evidente que es una secuencia escriptada usando el motor inicial del juego (Disrupt engine) con solo este escenario diseñado ya que no si prestas atención mas allá de la calle donde está Aiden no se ve movimiento en absoluto, está vacío, aún así creo que una PS5 o una PS4 pro podrían con estos gráficos casi sin problema si hubiera buena optimización y no hablar de un buen PC. Hubiera sido genial que mantuvieran estos gráficos y fuera un juego por episodios o actos sin mundo abierto para reducir la carga pero la invasión GTA atacó y se entiende la competencia.

Ok so let's take a look of all the things that changed from the release. Let's ignore the graphics ok. 1. Weather Updates. Not in final game though it would be nice to have the news tell me when it would rain. 2. Notice how all intersections had traffic lights like real life Chicago. In final game it's mostly stop signs. 3. Some cars had a slightly different look. Like the taxi having different headlights and the red BMW lookalike not having a carbon roof. 4. NPC's would hail a cab and enter them. Not an in-game feature at all. 5. Different hacking and weapon wheel. Only hacking and you had to bring up the wheel to hack into cars, trains, and traffic lights along with bridges. 6. Focus looked entirely different. 7. Much more cars and destruction when making traffic lights green. 8. When explosion is heard, an ambient sound of car alarms are heard adding more realism. 9. Traffic Lights have street names. 10. Jordi doesn't wear his black leather gloves. 11. It had a violence probability. A non existent feature in the final game. 12. The Fasto car appears in The Loop rather than just in Parker Square and Brandon Docks. 13. It looked like Mad Mile had different streetlights similar to The Loop ones before they swapped to LED's. 14. Some NPC's could die in a traffic crash. 15. Cars would get damaged in near the radius of the explosion. Rather than in the final game where it would need to be in front of the gas tank.

Wouldn't be surprised if Star Wars 1313 was "reborn" (even though it doesn't exist) into being a story about a Smuggler with a smug face and trenchcoat (E3 Aiden) that has an overly peppy or just eccentric buddy/droid (Jordi).
