Watch_Dogs' Latest Trailer Is PS4 Dev Kit Footage; More Information Shared on Gameplay and Physics

A couple days ago a new trailer for Watch_Dogs titled "Welcome to Chicago" was released, and today Creative Director Jonathan Morin confirmed on Twitter that the video is footage coming from a PS4 Devkit, also sharing new details on gameplay and physics.

devs clearly trying to sell the game to console players, it doesn't look nearly as good as the E3 2012 demo which was on PC, the trailer that was just shown looks a little plain in terms of effects so hopefully the pc can take full advantage of this, also getting a 4K monitor in early may so should be good maxed out at 4k with 60fps hopefully with GTX 780 SLI

ProjectVulcan3682d ago

The game looks good on the new consoles, but I too can't help feel it doesn't really match what was shown 2 years ago visually.

Lets just hope the gameplay is top notch- I'm due another open world fix 6 months after GTA5

>on PC

The workstations developers have access to can't be compared at all to consumer rigs.

starchild3682d ago (Edited 3682d ago )

Yeah, it's disappointing that we haven't seen graphics like the E3 2012 demo since then. It looked amazing. Hopefully the PC version still looks as good as that just as Ubisoft has claimed.

But I do think PART of the reason the E3 2012 demo looked so good is the fact that:

1. It was set at night during rainy/foggy conditions.

2. A lot of it contained set piece moments.

On the other hand, there was a clear use of post process effects and high quality anti-aliasing that we haven't seen since. Also the physics system was definitely showed off much more in that first video.

I haven't seen any signs of a downgrade between last year's PS4 footage and the recent footage, though, so that's good.

Until we see like for like scenes it will be hard to determine just exactly what kind of a difference we are looking at. Here's to hoping for the best.

ITPython3682d ago

Watching that trailer definitely rejuvenated my hype for the game. Although visually it appears to be only slightly better looking than GTA5, and comes nowhere close to Infamous:SS.

Still, it looks good enough and the entire concept of the game is quite thrilling.

trancefreak3682d ago

This game looks sick and very interesting. Hopefully it turns out to be something special and unique.

CapellPro853681d ago

Finally a comment that I can like and reply to instead of the rubbish at the top. Looks amazing. Some of the stuff Morin has said on twitter this game is going to be a world that feels like real life. And so much to do.

trancefreak3681d ago (Edited 3681d ago )

-Thanks capell.
I have had my eye on this game since it was introduced and It feels deep.I believe if it is actually a story driven, action packed, futuristic hacking capable game and it down comes to this.

-THE ROAD NOT TAKEN. Although not exactly linear in nature; The interactiveness of in game objects, people, hackable items can make each area of play unique and a much deeper experience.

DC7773681d ago

Kind of disappointing then because beyond the smoke and reflections it just looks like GTA.

BattleTorn3681d ago

The smoke does look damn pretty though

I think it looks great. In reference to the trailer, they show dozens of individuals in any given location and say that you can hack into the lives of anyone you see. That is impressive. Will there be a trophy for hacking everyone. Is that even an achievable task?

matrixman923682d ago

lol whats with the disagrees. I thought that was an interesting point they made as well. They even showed you spying on someone doing random things and having a girl tied up. I doubt all of them will be as in depth, but im wondering if every NPC has footage like that, that you can spy on and stuff...that would be insane. Then if they are doing something bad, you can find them and stop them. Im cautious about how many NPC's will be clones of each other.

jay23682d ago

yeah it does. maybe there's 3000 different NPC models so we'll see.

Deceiver_Of_The_Gods3681d ago

They said that there are 5000 different NPC "stories" so...it will take some time

heisenberguk3682d ago

You'd never progress anywhere, still be stood there when Watch Dogs 2 comes out!!

Ratty3682d ago

It looks like an amazing game. I can't wait.

candy_mafia3682d ago

PS4 Watchdogs looking awesome!

I love open world games and this more than makes up for the lack of GTA V, which I'm hoping is a thing real soon :)

Deceiver_Of_The_Gods3681d ago

GTA 5 was a great game but it didnt feel 100% finished...It had many bugs and problems , and about the online and the DLC's...they just act like they dont care any more...I don't know what they have in mind but after completing the game two times I don't think that I would play it again , even if they released a good DLC....About the watch dogs the game looks too good to be true , but I believe in UBISOFT..It has depth , a good storyline , and a big city to explore...litteraly..Too bad I can play it only on my ps3 :(

candy_mafia3681d ago

No matter how long it takes, I would totally like you to save up for a PS4 so you can be part of the amazing community.

I've made tons of cool friends just through 'Playroom' & 'Live@PS'.

I don't know your financial situation, and PS3 is still great!...but hurry and experience PS4 :)

jc485733682d ago

wonder if this is one of the reasons why they delayed it just to mess around with PS4.

Watch Dogs Deserves A Remake, More Than Ever

With the world of information and technology, privacy and security growing every day, Watch Dogs deserves another chance in the spotlight, now more than ever.

RaidenBlack1004d ago

The only Ubi title that deserves a faithful remake right now is Splinter Cell 1.
All 2014+ Ubi titles are just underwhelming. Especially ones from 2016+ are just cancer.

LucasRuinedChildhood1004d ago (Edited 1004d ago )

Seriously, are we so far removed from Ubisoft actually making good games that people now praise Watch_Dogs in retrospect?

"Watch_Dogs has remained one of my favourite games of the last ten years." Jesus Christ.

HankHill1004d ago

I remember being so disappointed in Watch Dogs when I played it at release. It was alright, but I think I fell for the hype and I needed a game to play on my new PS4.

obidanshinobi1004d ago

This is what happens when mediocrity gets praised as good.
Standards are slipping across the whole entertainment industry.
What was once considering rubbish is now considered as OK, what once was OK is now being praised as good etc etc.

LamerTamer1003d ago

Everyone has their own likes. I liked it a lot myself. I played through it twice and liked the car chases and the open world with fairly decent environments and missions. It suffered from the whole downgrade thing where they showed graphics that weren't actually there. No game will appeal to everyone but it was still ambitious for it's time.

gantarat1004d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee1004d ago

For certain! AC1 was brilliant at the time but with new graphics and gameplay it would be amazing! Do you prefer old combat or new though?

RaidenBlack1004d ago

I'd say a reimagining of AC1.
I direct AC1 remake would be a bad idea. It'll need better story pacing and significant better world building.

BlaqMagiq11003d ago

Old. Let it play like how it did with AC2-Syndicate style gameplay but refine the setting and story.

Profchaos1004d ago

It would need a lot changed for it to be enjoyable again as even back in 2007 on launch we were all complaining about it's repetitive gameplay go here perform one of three side quests repeat then assassination now do it over and over until a big battle with a unforgiving checkpoint system.

BlaqMagiq11003d ago

Absolutely. It needs it. The only AC I truly didn't enjoy.

chicken_in_the_corn1003d ago

I'd prefer it didn't. Ubisoft would make it so bloated, it wouldn't be anywhere near the original

smolinsk1004d ago (Edited 1004d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos1004d ago (Edited 1004d ago )

As a fan of the franchise legion was garbage and I regretted my purchase for the first time in the franchise the entire thing felt like an experiment in NPC behaviour and released without the writers input on what makes a good story.

I don't think I'm alone in that feeling though as wrench and Aiden are brought back and the campaign was rewritten to fit them.

I am tempted to buy the season pass to play it again with Aiden but fool me twice shame on me I'm waiting for a deep sale

camel_toad1004d ago

Agreed. Despite the annoying hipness of the characters in part 2 I thought it was a really fun game. I was extremely disappointed and surprised at how many steps back they took with Legion. You'd think it was made by an entirely different team. Or was it?

It was just so devoid of fun.

LamerTamer1003d ago

Honestly one of my biggest annoyances with Legion is that they took out the camera views for the driving. I mean the behind the car view that they stuck us with is near unplayable. I always used a first person driving view. After two releases why did they take OUT features? I don't get it.

TheSinsibleOne1004d ago

The fist watchdog game was the best by far
After that they weren't weird and annoying with that hipster stuff. Aiden was a badass.

LamerTamer1003d ago

I thought so at first too. I got used to it and it ended up being good after some play time. I just had to give it a chance.

TheEnigma3131004d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack1004d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma3131004d ago

That's good news. Hopefully it's done right.

Inside the Driver game that died so that Watch Dogs could live

From VG247: "When cars slide, they leave tyre marks. In a game like Driver, they’re an aesthetic touch, part of the inherent cool of a handbrake turn. But those dark shadows in the road also tell a story. From tyre marks, you can determine the speed of a vehicle, when it started to skid, and its ultimate direction of travel – long after the car itself has vanished into the distance."

vallencer1069d ago

Different spellings in different parts of the world friend. Tyre is a correct way to spell it.

Pridefall1068d ago

Dunno why you got downvpted when tyre is correct in Australia.

mikefizzled11068d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921069d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1069d ago

Why did they stop making some of the best games ever? Driver was one of them.

Gameseeker_Frampt1068d ago

Assassins Creed 2 showed Ubisoft how to make money and Far Cry 2 showed them that gamers don't like complex ideas. Now Ubisoft just turns out games that are just variations of the same thing.

WeAreLegion1068d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1068d ago

A story driven game with pure driving gameplay. I'd love to see a new Driver game or a remake of the first one.

ApocalypseShadow1068d ago

Yes. This one. A definite remake of the first without adding any ridiculous fluff. The first game had great physics and sound for its time. The start of the car in the beginning cinema I watched constantly. My father and uncles were big muscle and classic car freaks. Only thing crazy about the game was the relentless cops in the last level. Insane the way those police cars were and launched at you.

Bleemcast made it look better just like PC emulators. But would definitely take a remake.
