Would have been better if they increased the graphics and settled for 30fps.


Would be good I agree, but I assume that it would be easier for Ubi to share all the assets between Xbone and PS4 and just bump the res and throw the spare frames from the power difference into the PS4 version instead of making slightly better unique assets for the PS4 and spend more time optimising it to run around 30fps constant without dipping too much.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

I was told the wii u will be the definitive edition. Oh and to the pc "master race" it clearly says there CONSOLE.

I have a friend who works as a tester fro Ubisoft, he told me to buy the PC version or don't bother.

I'm very doubtful about this. We've seen most games aim for 1080p 30fps, so this would be deviating from the norm.

I'd be impressed if it turns out the be true, but until it's confirmed I'd say it's a mistake.

Isn't WiiU's version the true Watchdog Experience, with the Gamepad and all that?

Silly you. It's not about innovative gameplay. It's all about the frames and how fast they're flying at you.

OT I kinda doubt that. Must've been a real big graphical downgrade to make it 1080p60.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I doubt the accuracy of this. Last we heard it was 1080p 30 fps. I don't see how they optimized an extra 30 fps in just two months. Maybe it's an unlocked 60 with a good many dips? I also doubt the game has both a resolution and fps advantage over the Xbox One unless gimping the Xbox One version was included in Sony's marketing and exclusive content deal for the game. Most other recent games have shown only a resolution or fps difference, but not both. 

If developers were up for gimping versions of their games for money I imagine the X1 wouldn't be in its current situation :p

Still, I agree it doesn't seem likely. If it is "true" an unlocked frame rate seems the most likely situation, but if that's the case I'd rather they bumped the visuals a bit closer to the PC version and lock it at 30fps. It's not like infamous where locking it at 30fps with a visual boost would require the creation of new assets, they already have them for WD :p

Yup. It's going to be the definitive version which will never come out!

I don't doubt it sometimes hits 60fps but I doubt it will be stable. I wonder why fluctuating framerates became a trend this gen...

Yeah, I was just joking about the gimping since some people claimed Microsoft was going to pay companies to gimp the PS4 versions of games xD

Yeah, unlocked frame rates aren't that good, they can cause alot of stutter. I'd rather they lock it at a stable 30 and bump the visuals up personally. 

I personally prefer unlocked over locked 30fps if the game is going to look the same either way, but i can understand why people prefer locked ^^ With watchdogs they already have the assets so i don't see the point in unlocked, just give me more awesome o/

Watch Dogs PS4 resolution and frame rate hasn’t been confirmed yet but according to Sony Customer Service, the game is listed as a 1080p and 60 fps title in their database.

This listing again matches the official pre-order description from Sony, which revealed the game as running at 1080p and 60 frames per second. Ubisoft have yet to comment on this story despite GameInformer’s recent article on the same topic. Check out the chat log between reddit user dizorkmage and Sony Customer Service employee.

This matches what Sony’s pre-order page listed for Watch Dogs on the PS4.
