I am uber excited to play this! don't care when it releases as long as they keep to their word and make sure its a proper "next gen" experience.

have to admit, that trailer was pretty neat.

What do you guys think of the "contraversy" that watchdogs graphics have apparantly been downgraded during it's delay? Personally...I don't see very much of a difference. People's standards have just become waaaaaayyyy to high now. I have seriously heard people say this game looks ugly now...uumm what?

Looks exactly the same to me. People are just looking for[censored].

It's like these days when people have huge debates over which console version is best coz 1 runs at 10fps faster than other sometimes.

When did we reach this point that graphics are EVERYTHING!!!!
Isn't gameplay and actually having fun the point of games for lots of people anymore?

No one is saying the game looks ugly. But its pretty obvious that their is a graphics change. I dont even think that can be disputed.

That said, I dont really care.

@ phreak - I get what you are saying - this backlash from one trailer has been pretty bad on Watch_dogs. Although it does look different its not like its drastic or even entirely different looking (like when insomniacs game went from being Overstrike to become FUSE).

Much like our current poll discussion, I think there are time when publishers and developers need to be clear on the footage they show. "Target render", "engine render", "Real time" should be part of the description of a "gameplay trailer" going forward, especially with how vocal gamers are now in the online community and how damaging their negativity can be.

Graphics have always caused an argument in gaming. I remember the arguments in mags and on boards around PC graphics and how much better a game was now compared to the previous installment because of OpenGL vs whatever the other standard was back then. Heck when Street Fighter 2 finally made it to the Megadrive there were huge comparisons and gloating by Sega fanboys over how much better their version looked. Then Super SF2 on SNES came out and that argument was reset. People like visuals and equate good looking with better.

Suddenly this is looking a whole lot more interesting ...

Epic. That is now no.01 on my PS4 to get list !bm

Hello Watch Dogs, nice to FINALLY meet you!

Could GTAV have some competition on its hands?

Only problem now is, old gen or new gen??
Not gana buy day 1, gana have to wait & see how big the difference between the PS3 & PS4 will be! So then i will know if i can get the PS3 version, or wait till i get a PS4.
But then again, with Ubisoft's AC Black Flag i had the same thoughts! & the only difference between the old gen & new gen was the graphics! & it still looked great on PS3!

I think you know what a big fan of GTA I am, but this looks 10 times better imho! Although at 1st I argued, the more and more The differences between this and GTA is starting to stand out.

I think it's just the open world that gives me a GTA feel, everything else is VERY new, in a VERY, VERY good way!

!disappoint You shut your mouth!!!!!
Nothing beats GTAV!! NOTHING
But it COULD be competition, if this gets a series of games going!!

Well...its not a GTA game, so GTA in its own right and genre is and probably will ALWAYS be the best. However, this game is something new, completely different gameplay in many ways, but with a Stunning and Vibrant (if not more) world like GTA.

Guess we will have too wait & see!
I was not even slightly interested in Watch Dogs, till i saw that new trailer!!!
Love my open wold games & nothing can beat GTA! But this looks promising.

The recently-released Watch Dogs Welcome to Chicago trailer contains footage captured from the PlayStation 4 version of the game, Ubisoft Montreal has revealed.

Ubisoft said the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One version of the game will feature more NPCs than the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 version, as you'd expect.
