Do we really need to keep feeding into this. This is just getting old now. :/

christrules00413618d ago

It is getting old. However it keeps me up to date when a new version of the mod comes out.

NovusTerminus3618d ago

News is news, and people are looking forward to this mod, so it is akin to having screens and updates to any other game coming out.

If modders with limited resources can do this, why Ubisoft with nearly unlimited resources couldn't?

lemoncake3618d ago

Because modders can do crazy stuff without having to worry about performance issues on the average users pc.

i love it when ubisoft exposed :) man so refreshing and tasty.

drjonesjnr3618d ago (Edited 3618d ago )

Sorry but i don't see the apparent greatness of the graphics
just looks like watchdogs to me. Do pc gamers actually play games or do they just mess with the graphics all the time?

I wouldn't mind if it was a good game but its not its very mediocre game, probably the most disappointing game ive ever played its soulless. Gta5 was more next gen on ps3/360. And the game left a very sour taste in my mouth. So much that i will never believe another word ubishaft say. 4/10 for me.
and i might just ad that even with this new mod the graphics are nowhere near on the level of infamous second son.

starchild3618d ago (Edited 3618d ago )

You sound jealous. And ignorant. No, we don't just mess with graphics all the time.

And your comment about GTA5 on last gen consoles looking better is a joke. Watch Dogs wins in nearly every category, from geometric complexity to textures and from character models to shader effects. GTA5 on PC and next gen consoles may very well end up looking better because it is being massively overhauled, but GTA5 on PS3/360 looks like the last gen game it is.

Also, I have Watch Dogs on PC and Infamous on PS4 (I can prove it to you if you like) and the truth is they each do some things better than the other. Watch Dogs has better NPC character models and animations, better LOD levels on mid and far-distance objects and buildings, much better shadow quality (they're blocky in Infamous), far more dynamic shadows at night (mostly absent in Infamous), superior foliage quantity and quality, as well as dynamically animated foliage and cloth.

Infamous Second Son has better particle effects, fuller use of screen space reflections, a somewhat more detailed main character model, better variety of materials and a more colorful art direction.

I really enjoy both games and they each have their advantages in terms of visuals. If I had to pick one for visuals alone, though, I'd have to say that modded Watch Dogs looks a bit better to me than Infamous Second Son.

BVFTW3618d ago (Edited 3618d ago )

Advantage Starchild, thumbs up!
@drjonesjnr for "some" PC gamers messing with the game is part of the charm may it be by optimizing its configuration or modding the heck out of it, its just a "choice".

CannonB83618d ago

I agree with a lot of what you are saying, but one thing you said kind of reinforces what drjonesjr is on about.
You claim that GTA5 looking more next-gen was a joke.
If you re-read his post, he doesn't mention Next Gen graphics. He just said it was more next gen on PS3/Xbox360.
Next Gen to me and a lot of other people isn't only about the graphics (which PC owners seem to use as a trump card). It's about the experience and Rockstar deserve a lot of credit for giving us that kind of experience on an older system (note I didn't say inferior).
Yes, the new machines (I have a PS4) have better graphics but, although the games look prettier, I'm more excited about the new possibilities the enhanced power can generate.
It's an exciting time to be a gamer. Can't we all just get along?

Watch Dogs Deserves A Remake, More Than Ever

With the world of information and technology, privacy and security growing every day, Watch Dogs deserves another chance in the spotlight, now more than ever.

RaidenBlack1035d ago

The only Ubi title that deserves a faithful remake right now is Splinter Cell 1.
All 2014+ Ubi titles are just underwhelming. Especially ones from 2016+ are just cancer.

LucasRuinedChildhood1035d ago (Edited 1035d ago )

Seriously, are we so far removed from Ubisoft actually making good games that people now praise Watch_Dogs in retrospect?

"Watch_Dogs has remained one of my favourite games of the last ten years." Jesus Christ.

HankHill1035d ago

I remember being so disappointed in Watch Dogs when I played it at release. It was alright, but I think I fell for the hype and I needed a game to play on my new PS4.

obidanshinobi1035d ago

This is what happens when mediocrity gets praised as good.
Standards are slipping across the whole entertainment industry.
What was once considering rubbish is now considered as OK, what once was OK is now being praised as good etc etc.

LamerTamer1034d ago

Everyone has their own likes. I liked it a lot myself. I played through it twice and liked the car chases and the open world with fairly decent environments and missions. It suffered from the whole downgrade thing where they showed graphics that weren't actually there. No game will appeal to everyone but it was still ambitious for it's time.

gantarat1035d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee1035d ago

For certain! AC1 was brilliant at the time but with new graphics and gameplay it would be amazing! Do you prefer old combat or new though?

RaidenBlack1035d ago

I'd say a reimagining of AC1.
I direct AC1 remake would be a bad idea. It'll need better story pacing and significant better world building.

BlaqMagiq11034d ago

Old. Let it play like how it did with AC2-Syndicate style gameplay but refine the setting and story.

Profchaos1035d ago

It would need a lot changed for it to be enjoyable again as even back in 2007 on launch we were all complaining about it's repetitive gameplay go here perform one of three side quests repeat then assassination now do it over and over until a big battle with a unforgiving checkpoint system.

BlaqMagiq11034d ago

Absolutely. It needs it. The only AC I truly didn't enjoy.

chicken_in_the_corn1034d ago

I'd prefer it didn't. Ubisoft would make it so bloated, it wouldn't be anywhere near the original

smolinsk1035d ago (Edited 1035d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos1035d ago (Edited 1035d ago )

As a fan of the franchise legion was garbage and I regretted my purchase for the first time in the franchise the entire thing felt like an experiment in NPC behaviour and released without the writers input on what makes a good story.

I don't think I'm alone in that feeling though as wrench and Aiden are brought back and the campaign was rewritten to fit them.

I am tempted to buy the season pass to play it again with Aiden but fool me twice shame on me I'm waiting for a deep sale

camel_toad1035d ago

Agreed. Despite the annoying hipness of the characters in part 2 I thought it was a really fun game. I was extremely disappointed and surprised at how many steps back they took with Legion. You'd think it was made by an entirely different team. Or was it?

It was just so devoid of fun.

LamerTamer1034d ago

Honestly one of my biggest annoyances with Legion is that they took out the camera views for the driving. I mean the behind the car view that they stuck us with is near unplayable. I always used a first person driving view. After two releases why did they take OUT features? I don't get it.

TheSinsibleOne1035d ago

The fist watchdog game was the best by far
After that they weren't weird and annoying with that hipster stuff. Aiden was a badass.

LamerTamer1034d ago

I thought so at first too. I got used to it and it ended up being good after some play time. I just had to give it a chance.

TheEnigma3131035d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack1035d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma3131035d ago

That's good news. Hopefully it's done right.

Inside the Driver game that died so that Watch Dogs could live

From VG247: "When cars slide, they leave tyre marks. In a game like Driver, they’re an aesthetic touch, part of the inherent cool of a handbrake turn. But those dark shadows in the road also tell a story. From tyre marks, you can determine the speed of a vehicle, when it started to skid, and its ultimate direction of travel – long after the car itself has vanished into the distance."

vallencer1100d ago

Different spellings in different parts of the world friend. Tyre is a correct way to spell it.

Pridefall1099d ago

Dunno why you got downvpted when tyre is correct in Australia.

mikefizzled11099d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921100d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1100d ago

Why did they stop making some of the best games ever? Driver was one of them.

Gameseeker_Frampt1099d ago

Assassins Creed 2 showed Ubisoft how to make money and Far Cry 2 showed them that gamers don't like complex ideas. Now Ubisoft just turns out games that are just variations of the same thing.

WeAreLegion1100d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1100d ago

A story driven game with pure driving gameplay. I'd love to see a new Driver game or a remake of the first one.

ApocalypseShadow1100d ago

Yes. This one. A definite remake of the first without adding any ridiculous fluff. The first game had great physics and sound for its time. The start of the car in the beginning cinema I watched constantly. My father and uncles were big muscle and classic car freaks. Only thing crazy about the game was the relentless cops in the last level. Insane the way those police cars were and launched at you.

Bleemcast made it look better just like PC emulators. But would definitely take a remake.
