Watch Dogs

This new video makes Watch Dogs look really good.

The graphics look fair at best. The lighting, weather, and water effects take it a couple notches over last gen, but the rest does not look great by a long shot. Infamous Second Son looks significantly better and so does Tomb Raider. AC4 looks a hell of a lot better too, and that was cross gen as well.

Yikes!

Must be the PS4 version!

Animations and AI look good. That's what make a game fun.

Played a little of this on the PS3.

Visuals and mechanics look good on the PS3. I imagine will look quite a bit better on the Xbox One and PS4.

Voice acting, character animations, etc are very good.

UI, on screen data, stats, etc are all solid and unique.

Driving mechanics are worse than GTA V. Car graphics are a step below GTA-V.

Overall world is immersive and looks good.

I'm not much of a stealth player but the hacking, etc seems pretty straight forward and not frustrating.

Need to play more to see how the game play holds up or if gets repetitive. Could be pretty fun if they included a decent story as the initial character interactions were well done.

I'm passing on this. I just can't seem to get excited about it.

It will use the tried and true Ubisoft formula of "huge map, defeat towers/other to show more area, unlock skills, ect" then just rinse and repeat until finished. I just don;t want to do that in another game right now.

Yeah I haven't been able to get excited about this game. That doesn't mean I won't end up getting it, but as of now I'm not planning on it.

I've got plenty to keep me busy, I've mostly been playing a realm reborn anyhow. Still excited for Destiny, though!

Also not that interested. Definitely not a day one purchase. Maybe I'll get it once it falls below $30 if the reviews are generally decent.

Seems solid but I'm too hooked on World of Warplanes to care much right now. What would make it worthwhile is a good story. Nothing stood out in the first 30 mins of game play.

I think it will end up a solid bargain binner to play later but I''ll play a little more later. Games like "Enslaved" made an impact on me early as a game that was interesting and inspired me to play through the entire game, even if it wasn't perfect.

Initially it feels similar to Sleeping Dogs but not as fun. (Sleeping Dogs is way underrated). I have only seen one supporting character so far so it could get better but the main character has been on the bland side so far.

7 GB mandatory install on PS3 but you shouldn't be getting this game on last gen consoles anyway.

[Aslanna]

It'll probably end up being like Assassin's Creed 1. That is.. A lot of good ideas but not quite fleshed out enough and it takes a sequel for it to start shining. And of course then ends up being milked to death over the years.

I'm sure being a multi-gen title didn't do it any favors on either the PS4 or the XBO. Old gen holding us back!

Xbox One sitting four points below PS4 on Metacritic. Just sayin'!

Better exclusives on Xbox One so Watch Dogs is less impressive!
