Forums - Gaming - PS4 watch dogs downgraded, video proof inside.

 

Hi guy and girls, I often don't do threads but in this case it really sucks to see whats happening to the PS4 version of Watch Dogs, see the video below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiA0PKPkRC0

This is not an old video it was from may 9th so I think it was the newest build of the PS4 version, as you can see the segments shown of the game were pretty smooth and is obviously not 30 fps, I think what is happening here is that Ubisoft is trying to not make look that bad the xbox one version that I think that version has been always been 792p.  There are lots of articles outhere saying the PS4 version is the one to have cause of its 1080p resolution, so is really strange to see all the sudden is now 900p don't you think ?

After seeing what Killzone SF, Infamous SS visuals are I'm pretty confident watch dogs can ran easely at the highest settings, but in the end Ubisoft is trying not to get their income damaged. oh well guess I will wait for a sale of this game.

So there you have it people what are your thoughts ?  

NOTE:

when upload a video to youtube normally is 30 fps, but this is offscreen most of the time a diffenrent fps can be seen to the actual uploaded fps when is offscreen.

Better to get the game out, then faff about with settings and messing it up.



Hmm, pie.

Ugh what...? You're trying to prove a downgrade on a off-screen video from YouTube that has a 30fps cap? What am I reading?



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Youtube is limited to 30 fps so you literally can't tell the game is "obviously not 30 fps", unless you meant it was below 30 fps. As for the conspiracy theory, that is frankly absurd given how much ubisoft has been promoting its PS4 version.



Oh dear Ubisoft. Seems like it's a cross-gen port at best, a far cry from that trailer they showed at E3 2012.

Edit: Obviously you can't prove that it's not 60fps / 1080p with a Youtube video, but the gameplay section at 1:30 onwards looks bland as hell.

Don't think so. Trials Fusions was published by Ubisoft, think that had a difference in resolution as well

See the video game segment parts and  see how smooth the game moves on those parts  , when upload a video to youtube normally is 30 fps, but this is offscreen most of the time a diffenrent fps can be seen to actual uploaded fps when is offscreen.  



As long as it's better than the Xbone version, it's a win!!! This discussion is a silly waste of time.

Xbone... the new "N" word   Apparently I troll MS now | Evidence | Evidence

Yes, they make one version worse to get even more bad press as they would get if only one version wouldn't be super impressive! And that even when Sony pays them money to bring the best version to Playstation...

Edit: ok just saw the video so that my second part of the post didn't fit lol



I think most of us didn't believe the 60FPS reports, I can see the resolution being slightly lower because Infamous could do it, but it was a single platform and though i loved it, the city wasn't that packed...so if WD is a packed city, then of course it will require more resources.

I guess the only thing some people may look out for is a day 1 resolution patch, if so then yeah there is something dodgy going on :)
