This may have been answered earlier in the thread, but does any of the announced multiplayer features sound like they will be worth a drat? I'm trying to decide between the PC and the PS4 version, but the cheaper price of the digital deluxe version for the PC sounds like the way to go, even though I'm worried ubisoft will bone up the performance (I have a 3770k and a 7950; it should outperform the ps4 version...right!?)

They basically ripped off Dark Souls. You can choose to not participate or you can have people randomly invade your game and hack you to steak some game related stuff that's useful (money, xp, who knows) and you have to find them and counter hack them or kill them. It's implied that there will be penalties for just running up and killing people and less benefits for the person invaded if they just kill the invader vs hacking them back. There's also apparently going to be a mobile app where you can hack into someone's game and help them or hurt them. Hack street blockers to hinder the player or to catch police, stuff like that. The invasion multiplayer actually looks pretty sweet. They can't invade during missions, only during free roam. So dudes won't mess with your story progression, but if you're running around righting wrongs vigilante style I think you can have someone jump in. And when someone invades, each player sees themselves as Aiden Pierce and the other person as some randomly generated person. The way it got shown, you don't get a "you've been invaded" message like in Dark Souls. At any point in time, some random NPC walking in the crowd could actually be someone looking for a good vantage point to hack you or who walks up and blasts you in the face. I'm kinda excited for the paranoia factor. On the performance, after FC3 I think UBI knows how to make things scale. I have the 7870 recommended in the part picking thread and a fairly old mb/ i5 1156 socket processor with only 4 gigs of ram and I was able to scale FC3 down to "Gorgeous with less post processing" and play it at a steady 45-60 fps. I'm upgrading for this, but if this scales anywhere near as well the recommended will go full settings and it'll still be pretty as hell a notch or two down and you can bump your frame rate back up near 60. I have zero basis for these assumptions, but it seems like a pretty safe bet. TheSpiritFox fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Apr 8, 2014 |

The PC version should scale pretty well anyway. PC was the lead platform for development since Ubi started work on the game before the PS4 and xbone specs were finalized.

We finally have more RAM in our consoles, I want that to translate to more cool stuff going on, not more godrays and ambient bitmap occlusion or whatever. I'm ready to see the games that PLAY like next-gen, not just super pretty versions of what we've already been playing.

There'll be a never ending stream of graphic spergs that will go on and on about not being able to render the game with full 180FPS smoothness on their 45920x28378 resolution screens and how awful the game looks in motion because of it. Graphics is a battle you'll never win because that's a hardcore sect of people that can never be pleased, yet every developer spends endless resources on trying to please them due to how vocal they are about it. Gameplay will improve when everyone's mindset changes and people encourage developers to spend more time improving it rather than sating their MAXIMUM GRAPHICS desires.

Cantorsdust posted:One day we will hit photorealism. On that day, finally, gameplay will improve. Or the games industry will crash hard because of the unsustainable costs of creating photorealistic assets along with hugely elaborate and expensive physics engines to maintain the illusion of realism at all times. In all seriousness, though, the sperging about graphics is really prominent right now especially just because we're transitioning to the next console generation, which is a long overdue transition to begin with. I'd say it's also Ubisoft's fault for making the original demo look better than the full game with all that vertical slice nonsense, but honestly, a lot of the spergs moaning about it should know better than to trust a big-name developer and publisher to show them honest gameplay footage. It's always, always going to be doctored in some way, it's a shame that that's the norm, but that's just how it is and how it's always been, even with the best and most honest of developers. Honestly, though, when the game releases it will probably look pretty good and communicate its modern dystopian cyberpunk-y visual themes just fine and nobody will care that there's a few less props blowing around in the wind or w/e.

Am I the only one that loved the Chicago trailer but was super put off by the story one? The story one just made it seem like generic thriller nonsense with somehow super combat-oriented generic hacker guy doing a thing because oh man some conspiracy dudes killed my kid, or something. I still love the idea of incursions and loving around with the city, but the story seems even worse than all the modern day AC stuff.

Speedball posted:I STILL don't give a gently caress about this game's graphics. I do give a gently caress about its gameplay. Will it be good? Here's hoping. During the delay they talked about how it got repetitive and said that instead of just "guard investigates hacked thing and forgets about it" they threw in some almost Batman: Arkham style reactions to things you do. Instead of freaking out and shooting at shadows, apparently guards will get angry at and try to destroy hacked machinery and then get suspicious and look for you. I really hope they gave all the AI that kind of makeover. SaviourX posted:Am I the only one that loved the Chicago trailer but was super put off by the story one? It can't possibly be worse than White Male Sex/Power Fantasy Featuring The Noble Savage: The Game. Not even Assassin's Creed can touch a game ending where you get murdered by the woman you're having sex with while she pretends you're her brother. :edit: That description applies to all of Assassin's Creed too, doesn't it?

The only gameplay demonstrations I've seen that turned out to be remotely accurate were the 15-minute ones shown for MGS4 and Ground Zeroes. Although after MGS2, I've always been expecting some kind of twist. Anyway, even if Watch Dogs doesn't live up to the reveal trailer, I'm sure it will be possible later in the generation, going by how much open-world games improved during the last console cycle. Not having to target old systems as well would help.

I'm still hoping after the nine year gap cutscene seen in the trailers it just cuts to like the far future and you only play as Raiden again. Crappy Jack posted:From what I understand, co-op is basically one person playing the game while another person does all the hacking on their tablet. I don't know if it's still in there but they also showed off a cool adversarial mode wherein once you've invaded someone's game once you can later clandestinely remote play with your tablet to hack their alarms/cameras/whatever without actually being in or playing the game. It was awesome but definitely the kind of thing that seems too good to be in the final game. Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Apr 11, 2014 |

Honestly, I don't know that the footage there looks much better than Sleeping Dogs maxed out. I like the lighting system more in certain frames but maybe Sleeping Dogs just has a more interesting location to show off? I run that super smooth on a single 780 ti, so I don't think you'll have to have SLI just to use TXAA with Watch Dogs.

I dunno, I was able to run crysis 3 nearly maxed out settings on my 770, but txaa absolutely killed performance, like downed my fps from 40ish down to 15-20. At least I think that was the AA option. It looked really nice though!

Took me a second to think of that one, but yeah, that loving game (haven't finished it either). Being a mixed pacific dude myself, I rolleyes every time I play a story mission. A friend and I say something about 'Jay-son, your ta-tau' once every few weeks. To be fair, the AC3 stuff was pretty safe, just boring, and wasted a lot of time trying to do a thing instead of doing it.
