Watch Dogs - Ubisoft's Third Person Shooter

It looks impressive but I'm really not holding my breath. That new trailer is just the same old trailer with a new narrative. It looked far too scripted IMO. Time will tell, but I won't be buying it on release.

I said this over 100 posts ago, and I haven't changed my mind. This game is far too hyped by the developers.
 
Answering fan questions on Twitter, creative director Jonathan Morin listed the following as the minimum your rig will need to run Watch Dogs:

Processor: IntelCore 2 Quad Q8400 2.66Ghz or AMDPhenom II X4 940 3.0Ghz
Memory: 6GB RAM
Video card: 1024 VRAM DirectX 11 Shader 5.0
Sound Card: DirectX9
Hard drive: 25 GB

Morin says that these are the official minimum specs. Recommended specs have not been announced yet.
 
I've gotta say I was looking forward to this game as well as other Ubisoft titles like The Division however I'm now not so sure, if we can't have graphics in 2014 like we saw in the E3 trailers and footage what the heck is going on..!

Game play is paramount obviously but having lovely graphics just makes it so much better, I don't think expecting the final product to look like the E3 footage is too much to ask, hardware which this game has been developed on has evolved over several years, they should have a very good idea what hardware will be about when they expect to get the product to market, this goes for PC's as well as the 'somewhat' next gen consoles which have recently been released.

Apparently it says it is on pre-order on Steam now, but I can't see it. Sure I read the requirements before....


I have lost hope in the game tbh, but it is out when I am on holiday, so will probably get it anyway

I do think a lot of the graphics comments are overblown. We've hardly seen any pc footage. I'll just wait till it's released then judge. The game play is what matters most anyway and it looks great to me. I have a feeling on a maxed out pc it's still going to look as good as e3 2012.
