UbiSoft Ruined Watch Dogs

[WiiCube_2013]

I love seeing so many people nitpick and moan over graphical changes in an upcoming game on a console, expecting it to look as good as a PC game would. I've both a next gen console and PC, so....

"Next gen consoles" are now the current-gen consoles (PS4, WU, XO) so there's no need to keep referring them as that until 6-7 years have passed when the newer ones will be released.

I was thinking of getting this game for the PS4 when I'd buy one but the graphical difference isn't really too different so I might get for the Wii U if they make the GamePad have interesting functions as a smart telephone.

Be careful with that term, lumping the Wii U with the other current gen consoles might be dangerous around here due to hardware differentials

Spoiler

But you're right, I hope they make good use of the game pad and sorry people, but hardware doesn't determine console generations, generation is defined as an interval of time trolololol

I'm really sad to see how much Watch Dogs downgraded from being such a graphically awesome game to something comparable to the graphics of GTA IV (I seem to recall they looked even better too).

What's truly said is that you think that slightly less impressive graphics ruin a game. That's seriously pathetic.

I'm currently enjoying the original Legend of Zelda.

You don't get it do you?

What they showed up before at E3 was spectacular and then the 2013 update was a huge disappointment so you see that expectations were high and they failed to deliver them.

So if graphics don't meet your new expectations (PS3/360 graphics apparently aren't satisfying anymore) then the game is ruined? I think the game looks great, but even if it was a N64 graphics (and I only go that far because 3D is a huge part of the game) I wouldn't call it ruined.

People have unreasonable and unrealistic expectations as far as eye candy for the eighth gen it seems. If people honestly expect the same gap we had from Xbox to Xbox 360, they're going to be disappointed. I couldn't care less how much of a "downgrade" the game or any port is getting. I bought Splinter Cell for the Wii U, despite not looking as "robust" as the PC version, but do I care? No, I don't.

What I think is really silly is how graphics can be amazing one year, then the next year the same graphics are an embarrassment.

No kidding. People have unreasonable and implacable expectations. How a game looks is never good enough, there's always something wrong with visuals.

Let me ask this to people - If you ordered a car that you liked in a car show and when it came out and you got it it would not be the same as it was displayed there. Would you also think "Hey, it is not as pretty as it was but hey some of the features are still there!" would that be still okay?

1) You have the option to cancel your order.
2) If you're buying a car because it's "pretty", then you are seriously bad with money.
3) This has all of the features, not just some. The gameplay is the same, and it almost certainly runs better.
4) Does slightly-less "pretty" car mean it will run better (which it does in video games)? Only a fool wouldn't take that deal.
5) Being a little disappointed that it's not as good looking as you originally expected is completely different from the car being ruined.

6) it's still the same car. at best, it looks a bit different because the show room had different lights on the thing.

Let the game come out first before you deliver your judgment.

Isn't that asking this a bit much for many on here? After all, many pass judgment on something before they even try it, whether it be a console or a game

Take your reasonable-ness elsewhere, it has no place on GBAtemp.

[oodhfshdfbs]

hmmm.... still interested!

 

[Hyro-Sama]

Oh no! The graphics are totally horrendous and make this game completely unplayable. Woe is me!

I think the following picture nicely shows how things have changed...

The Self-entitlement butthurt-over-graphical-change levels are well over 9000 at this point.

It's not self-entitlement.
Ubisoft showed us a great looking game and made people speculate it was going to be a next-gen only game because of how nice looking it .


Just because graphics doesn't affect gameplay doesn't mean it's okay to call the people who were looking forward to the early build of the game "entitled graphics whore". They were shown a game and the final product won't look like the game they were shown. It's completely normal to be let down.

False advertisement is becoming more frequent in the video game industry.
