Watch_Dogs to be released May 27th, 2014 - Polidicks

Looking forward to this one. But I can't help but be annoyed at how silly it looks when he's running along pressing the same app button on his phone over and over, and it somehow magically explodes different things in perfect order again and again... I know it's a game but come on.

kinda annoys me how someone apparently just gives Aiden his space-future hacker phone, it would have been way cooler if he was smart enough to make it himself

I thought the voice acting in the trailer sounded very off or cheap... But maybe that's just me.

Looks alright.

At one point i was looking forward to this game, but after seeing the huge downgrade in graphics the game has received i'm not so sure. Obviously graphics aren't the most important thing, but Ubisoft tricking everyone into thinking the game would look nothing like it does now has put me off it. As an example, here's a comparison of E3 2012 footage vs March 2014: [img]http://i.minus.com/iboqqHgyy5tOsD.gif[/img] Everything that made the game feel next-gen is gone. Either that or they've just not been seen in all the screenshots and videos they've shown recently.

That's compressed GIF isn't even the proper representation of the 360/PS3 build. They just released a last gen trailer, looks better than that.

I always knew that the game wasn't going to look as good as that trailer. If it's at E3 and looks like top-notch in-game graphics, it's almost always touched up demos, even if they're played live. Killzone Shadow Fall is probably one of the few subversions to that, but when you have a scripted linear shooter, I suppose it's a lot easier to keep it, technically speaking, compared to sandbox games where so much can happen. It's why i'm convinced The Division is basically filled with bullshots and fancy trailer graphic effects that will be mysteriously not present in the final product. [editline]7th March 2014[/editline] Ontop of that, I really, really fucking doubt the PC version's going to resemble the original trailer either. It's not just 'oh it's at max spec, that's what the game really looks like'. It's Ubisoft, the PC version will be based on the Xbox One and Playstation 4 versions no doubt, so the dip in graphical quality will persist beyond maybe, [i]maybe[/i] some slightly higher res textures and effects in the PC version if they bother. I'm personally more concerned about the gameplay, because the various gameplay they've shown doesn't seem to actually have much in the way of variety. I guess we'll have to see in that regard.

nightlord,RikohZX, Please consider that i'm talking from personal experience with the PC version of the game. I've seen the game action in real time , played the game 3 times at several conventions. The PC version is exactly what advertised. And at PAX EAST I will document such things (assuming we're allowed). People need to understand that the PC version of this game is the PRIMARY BUILD, and console version is the port.

[QUOTE=godfatherk;44154494][B]They're taking it to a whole new level:[/B] [MEDIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2NJSAvuiQ0[/MEDIA][/QUOTE] ... No they're not. Procedural destruction - Nothing new Day and night cycle - Nothing new Volumetric lighting - Nothing new Dynamic lighting - Nothing new Shaders - Nothing new In conlusion: There's no "new" level about anything. It's the usual game-trailer bullshit. "How they're changing gaming forever, and bla bla bla". It just sounds like a terrible infomercial. There's nothing new and special about a broom, if you give it a HIGH-TECH rubber grip. It's [U]still[/U] just a broom.

I bet the game is going to be disappointing Honestly. And that super car jump gif it looks like the recent need for speed games or saints row/sleeping dogs.

I will wait till it releases and we get to see what it is like before buying. Pre-ordering is pretty stupid considering lately the publishers haven't been the most reliable(BattleField 4,colonial marines and Rebirth). Above that, it could change alot/fake screenshots.

Am I the only one that thinks focusing on shiny graphics is petty? As long as Chicago looks good, and the gameplay is playable n shit, then I'm not complaining.

The trailer that you see here is running on PS4 hardware, which isn't the most top-of-the-line stuff like console fanboys like to think it is. They've always shown footage running from a PC, but my guess is that the console versions were never even meant to come close to that. Graphics don't make a game anyways.

I can't vouch for what the game will really look like upon its final release but at the very least the next gen and PC versions will look far better than that Aisha promo.

He looks kinda odd without his mask on

it's really cool to see chicago as the setting. i've always wanted to speed down LSD. i dunno why more movies/games don't utilize it it's the best. tho i think it'll be kinda weird recognizing things while playing a game.
