Watch_Dogs

Don't know if they'll transfer other studios onto the project, maybe a couple knowing Ubi's incestuous proliferation with itself in regards to making games, but if they did that they'd likely be behind on their future games scheduling of certain studios.

I think high end graphics should be a thing for Watch Dogs, because it's a game very much based up the living, modern world we're in. It wouldn't seem as good to me if my 'immersion' in the game was let down because of a lack of believability, some sense of not feeling the breadth of this world. I think it's partly also a retrospective vision after next gen stuff, everything in the past begins to look a bit crummy and old and anything not next gen looking feels a bit lacking.

And in regards to the multiple studios approach, it's actually one of Ubi's greatest strengths and fatal flaws in some ways. They're able to pump out more content on average, and at a higher quality generally since they'll have more people refining it, but a number of aspects of their games are homogenised as a result, like the same sorts of games having assassination focus or wall climbing in their bigger titles, since trying to explore more diverse and unique game mechanics would result in a more muddled vision from so many different studios. This also works within their writing department, my Creative Writing lecturer who has written for a few games before has said that Ubi's writing team is not cohesive, they're all given parts of several projects at once and told to come together with all these different parts, and it eliminates a lot of creative flow and diversity in narratives.

All I can say is they do things their way, I respect that at least.

 

I don't think they did on purpose only to avoid GTA and Assassin's creed, probably they discover a major flaw in the game, because they burned their images by removing a game that would have a bundle with the consoles...

Even though WiiU/Ps3/Xbox360 will get a version, I wouldn't play on them.. as the last video of Ps3's version was awfull.. and Open world was the main limitation of the last gen.

Only inovations I want:
1) Aiden drops the gun.. he is a hacker.
2)He should be fat, that would be hilarious! Also while he is showing his hacking skills, no tiping rubbish in 10 seconds, I want "uhm... so this code doesn't work" while eating pizza.

Oh man is that pretty. But golly how much money is needed to build a beast of a PC to run it that beautifully.

 

I saw Giant Bomb's feature on Watch_Dogs and it is still looking promising. I'm not bothered about the whole graphics thing that blew up the other week, but the gameplay seems fun. Let's hope it can hold up for the whole game.

 

Uhh wot. I thought this was more of a "gritty near-future realism" sorta thing. This seems kinda silly in light of that.

 

Yea the whole 60 FPS/1080P kind of stuff makes me somewhat doubtful. Usually, it's CLOSE to 60, but not quite there. And it does hit 60, but onlyif you really do nothing and not much is happening on the screen.

 

I'll admit, I was devastated when they pushed back the release date on this game. I was thinking oh lord, they promised too much and couldn't deliver, and this game isn't going to be that good. But now, my interest in the game has been rekindled and I do plan on buying it day one of it's release. The graphics look great, and while it might be fun to play on PC, I'm happy I bought the PS4. It should be close, if not as pretty as the PC version.
