Watch Dogs

My amazon order has been shipped with a tracking number (royal mail recorded?) but I doubt it will arrive tomorrow as the expected date on my amazon says the 27th

One can hope though.

Lol. Anyone that says this looks %#$t! On the next gen consoles is having a laugh. It's a perfectly fine looking game. Brainwashed muppets.

It looks fine, doesn't look like anything special but its not ****.

No one had their Tesco copy dispatched yet? Then again Tesco have a rep of being sometimes days late to update the order form to say they've sent something.

Or.maybe they expect more. Play infamous then this....Watch Dogs looks awful in comparison.

On PC with everything on high it looks ok, nothing special.

omnomnom · 23 May 2014 at 21:42

It doesn't even look ok. I compare to other PC titles and it's average at best. I didn't buy a next gen console for poor visuals...this is a massive disappointment.

Seen a few PS3 videos, the game looks decent, you can see the gameplay is there, should be a fun experience.

omnomnom · 23 May 2014 at 21:46

I'm sure the gameplay is there...but I have a ps4, I expect it to look good as well. This just doesn't. I'll still give it a shot but I'm very underwhelmed so far.

Says on FAQ they'll be sent 2nd class and arrive on Tuesday.

I see your point, the game on any platform doesn't look graphically sparkling, some of the effects are quite poor as well, the exploding petrol pump does not impress for example. Looks like a fun game, hopefully the plot driven sandbox action with lots of locations will be a good experience.

omnomnom · 23 May 2014 at 21:54

I hope it is as well but they way they marketed this two years ago I expected a lot more. Graphically its poor, borderline dire, the gameplay is going to have to be amazing.

Infamous was awful. It had virtually no environmental interaction. Fake reflections and water that did not move. At least Watchdogs looks alive.

Tbh it looks ok from what I have seen a bit like GTA with some AA thrown in.

Noxia · 23 May 2014 at 22:03

I'm expecting I'll enjoy it but it's not going to be a favourite.

Yep infamous was dull

neoglow · 23 May 2014 at 22:08

Infamous was basically a super hero game where the city is your playground, running over rooftops etc. The city didnt feel alive.

Agreed, I found it dull too.

omnomnom · 23 May 2014 at 22:11

Infamous was dull but it was stunning. This looks dull and poor...like I say I'll give it a go but my expectations aren't high.

That is, sadly the issue but it shouldn't detract from the gameplay. killzone shadow fall, amazing visuals, boring game. infamous second son, spectacular visuals, not too bad a game and wolfenstein, not ugly but one of ps4's weakest looking AAA titles but a lot of fun to play... graphics don't mean everything..

omnomnom · 23 May 2014 at 23:31

It should detract from the gameplay but I bought a ps4 gkr next gen visuals....

Not had my dispatch email yet.
Would have loved this for the long weekend. Girlfriends away so it would have been the perfect opportunity to sink hours into a new game.
Just wasn't to be I suppose
