[QUOTE=lapsus_;45119594]Ok water and street textures looks really impressive, but that makes me wonder, if the goddamn files are all IN the game, why are they unaccessible to people by default, even to those who have the 3gb gpu power to fully harness them and select 'super ultra turbo' settings? What went wrong, where, and how? It's mind boggling.
Also some random guy doing in 2 weeks a 1000 people's-5months work, ubi made a fool out of itself twice now.[/QUOTE]
twice? you haven't been paying attention then.
Guess what is the next game to be downgraded?

I guess we can already tell it won't be as good as the E3 trailer. I hope they still leave the "make_game_look_good" switch there.
Wow, now the game looks like it actually should have. It's sad that people have to mod these games to get these shaders, unlock 60 fps, etc.
Stop giving them money; it's really that simple.
Stop buying their products.
[QUOTE=IceyMalone;45125145]The main issue is that no matter what Ubisoft do now, they'll be crucified all over the internet. If they say nothing, people will assume something based on no evidence. If they give a valid defense, people will think they're just trying to cover their asses.[/QUOTE]
only reason i give ubisoft shit is because of uplay nothing else much to give them shit about really. I've been rather enjoying my AC black flag i bought the other day i'm just sad i can't really use ambient occlusion to it's fullest, everything else i can.
Can I see more photos

I don't get it. Why didn't they just ship the game without the E3 graphics in it to not lose face like this. You think they were planning an E3 Graphics DLC, or maybe "updating" the game for PR?

This is something people have been debating for the last like day. People mostly think they were pressured by Sony and MS to gimp the PC graphics to make their consoles look better.
I honestly just think they couldn't refine the stuff in time and just turned it off.

Funny how much of a difference that bloom makes. Especially under the tracks. Much more... 2012, if you will.

That's what I was thinking but it seems odd that it supposedly tweaks performance to be slightly better for some people. Maybe they just didn't want to fiddle with how it looks from a subjective standpoint. Either way, I doubt it was some console conspiracy. I'll have to try it out when I fix my PC in a few days if it doesn't wind up getting patched (probably won't, but I wouldn't be surprised if Ubi did something stupid)

The thing that surprises me most is the fact that the mod also affects the performance while making it look better, can anyone explain me how is this possible?

I dont know but it's honestly amazing, with the mod I can actually run the game on Ultra wheras before it was hard without stuttering.

/v/'s consipracy theories about ubisoft sabotaging the pc version so the next gen versions of watch dog seem better start sounding less and less like theories to me

Ha, that's actually pretty funny :v:
I've already recommended this mod to about 10-ish people, and so far all of them have come away with 2 common thoughts: The game looks WAY better, and the stuttering is almost non-existent
how the fuck does that work?

Because the modder enabled/edited more shaders, and changed the way the game loads assets or increased cache or something, that's what he said in an earlier version of the guru3d thread.
The stuttering fix wasn't an on/off switch in some file.

Aisha Tyler told Ubisoft to do that shit.
Would love to see some before/after shots... I haven't played the game yet. Anything available anywhere?
We're about to enter one of the dirtiest periods of console PC relations. There is much more money to be made in console game releases (combo of less pirating and more mainstream audience), that's why they need to pull shit like this. For me, since I have a Wii U and PC I don't even consider getting either the PS4 or XBONE. I get all the awesome 1st party and innovations with the Wii U (even though some miss the mark) and all the popular mainstream games on steam or whatever.
[QUOTE=NinjaTomate;45119695]I have no idea how or why, but this makes the game run better for me. Had slight stuttering on High before, can now run it on Ultra.[/QUOTE]
That is ridiculously sad.
[QUOTE=Jackald;45130425]Actually Digital PC sales make more profit because there are barely any costs to putting the game on steam. You've not got to make boxed copies of the game or pay licensing costs to Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo[/QUOTE]
Do they make more profit overall, or by a per game basis? I feel like console games still vastly oversell PC counterparts.
[QUOTE=Jackald;45130310]Remember: Calling it a MOD implies that someone added stuff to the game. I know the word itself technically just means "modification", but it implies that someone added a bunch of stuff to improve the visuals.[/QUOTE]
I've always taken "mod" to literally mean modification except in the case of like Garry's Mod, Sven, etc
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/fIPFvWc.png[/IMG]
In the literal sense, it [I]is[/I] a mod. A mod of existing game files that shouldn't have been turned off in the first place

According to [URL="http://www.destructoid.com/nvidia-pc-game-sales-will-surpass-console-game-sales-212102.phtml"]this article[/URL] with research done by nvidia, they will soon:

Consoles have been ahead for a good decade now but with digital distribution on the rise they're making even more and more money off of PC
[IMG]http://techgage.com/articles/editorials/september_11/nvidia_trends_07_thumb.jpg[/IMG]
I wonder if it has to do with PC users having more money
think about all the people who empty their wallets on steam sales or whatever
I know I do :(
Can someone help me? I followed the installation instructions but it didn't do anything.

Read the thread you posted in then. There is a webm showing it along with other images.
Even on medium the lighting looks sooooo much better. And there's dynamic shadows from headlights!
