Looks WAY worse than GTA4 IMO. I also doubt it will have the small details that make GTA4 for me - Shooting out tires then scraping rims which causes metal sparks, shooting lights off police cars etc. It doesn't even look like they have bothered with car damage!!?

Come off it. It looks loads better than GTA 4.... :confused:

See Matson's post 709. Makes your pics look decidedly awful :p

Looks way better than GTA4! The weather effects especially, you get the dark clouds/mist rolling in in between the skyscrapers, incredible wet surface effects and puddles that stay on the ground for while when the sun comes out.

The only disappointment for me is the driving, some cars are ok but others are horribly unpredictable at speed and feel like tanks when you crash into the AI. Not sure about the skills that affect vehicle damage either, seems a bit silly. I accidentally hacked the bollards too early and crashed into them next to the enemy car which exploded but I could carry on...

The shot in post 709 look nothing like the PS4 video I was comparing GTA4 to. So is it out now then? Having a quick look its release is 27th - how are people playing and know it looks much better?

They are clearly playing pirate versions. The reason it gta 4 looks better than the video you watched is down to poor compression on the video. Just see the screenshots posted to see it looks far superior to gta4.

Just watched a few of the streams and It looks really fun imo. Gonna look at getting it after all. Has the nice feel to it with games like burnout paradise and GTA where you can just drive around the city and wreck stuff. The graphics are also pretty damn nice, with some very realistic reflections especially.

I actually lol'ed at this. Comparing a modded, ENB'ed up GTA4 with Watchdogs is ridiculous. When we get ENB and mods for Watch Dogs, compare that with these screens. Vanilla GTA4, as much as I love it, does not compare to Watch Dogs in the slightest and it's foolish to suggest otherwise. And in my opinion, the Watch Dogs screens we've seen so far look superior to those GTA4 screens anyways, but that's personal opinion I guess.

I know it's "in" to bash new games no matter what, but come on, that's just silly.

After watching a stream today, I have decided against getting it. Same old boring gameplay. I was going to pick it up anyway, as I have nothing else to play, but it just isn't impressive at all to me. I think I would rage far too much if I played it...I was raging hard enough just watching someone else!

:confused: Watch Dogs looks FAR better than an unmodded version of GTAIV, which incidentally was 1 of the worst optimised games on PC.

It is a shame that everyone is getting hung up on the graphics. They are the only thing I liked about the game tbh!

I would have said I have noticed the opposite creep in recently actually. I have noticed a lot of posters on here that will pretty much defend anything and won't hear a bad word said.

4090 on 850w = BOOM
If the graphics are similar to that Nvidia tech video shown the other month then I'll be happy, hopefully my 2 780s should cope with this at Ultra and 1440p - can't see why they wouldn't, they coped with Black Flag with most settings maxed (everything apart from Advanced PhysX and AA).

Your 780s arent enough. I run those and they arent enough. The game stutters to fill the cards when they go over 3050mb vram with 1 monitor.
