The draw distance is disgusting in this. Can see cars loading in at the other end of the street.

which console?

My PS4 copy from Amazon is waiting for me at home. The wife has already put it in the console so it gets the update before I get home. She's a good 'un

Picked up a copy from my local Sainsbury store on way to work. £44.99 ps4 which is a damn fair bit cheaper then digital. £60 for digital, joke really. reviews were good enough to tempt me, finished wolfenstein in time for this it seems...

How very understanding

seems a shame..they must have **** bricks when they saw the cityscape in Infamous..and they still failed to match the pixel count and frame rate even after delaying it

I think Sucker Punch have shown what they could do and other dev teams are playing catch up

The world feels a lot more alive in this than it did in Infamous. Infamous was boring outside the main story.

not disputing gameplay...but utilising the hardware available

Psycho Sonny · 27 May 2014 at 11:41

isn't there like 20-40 people on screen at any one time if you go to like a park or something? or was that the PC version?

sure if it was only developed exclusively for PS4 it would be utilising the hardware better but all multi plat games will be inefficient that comes with the territory of being a multi plat game.

so comparing an exclusive like infamous to watch dogs is stupid IMO in terms of utilising hardware both were designed completely differently.

Is there much to do outside of the main story ? I'm hoping I can go to random areas and play havok with the street lights etc... Cause a car crash or something, freak people out.

Murray · 27 May 2014 at 11:48

Yes. Loads and loads to do.

I'm invading people online currently. A lot of fun, pretending to be an AI and drive slowly and start hacking them and then hiding in a parked car

ObixConstant · 27 May 2014 at 11:49

I decided to wait for the US Store release on Xbox one. Got it for £23 cheaper

i take it you haven't bothered watching any of the hundreds of youtube videos doing exactly this?

it's an open world you can just go do what you like, it's better than GTA imo for that as the hacking opens up a lot more and you can do it stealthily without anyone knowing it was you that done it.

also if someone is phoning the cops on you, you can shoot them but if someone sees you shoot them they then phone the cops so it's a never ending circle which increases in size.

best to try and cause havoc whilst remaining hidden for maximum effect.

No different than max payne 3 needing 3gb vram to play at ultra settings. Infact it wouldn't even let you have the option to try.

Sounds fun, is it easy to be spotted or are you able to stand with a bunch of NPC's (blend in) and not get noticed ?

No, i've not watched half as much as I have wanted to.

Thanks for the response, looks like I'll have to give this game a whirl.

Murray · 27 May 2014 at 11:58

Well they just need to hover over you with their phone out to be told its you so its kind of easy if they just walk around checking everyone. Although I managed to drive behind someone slowly pretending to be AI and start hacking them then quickly park next to other cars and hide in the car without being spotted

Gotcha, that still seems like a good laugh. So, do you drop into a random players game and have fun or is it limited to people on your friends list ?

Murray · 27 May 2014 at 12:09

Just random players from what I've seen so far. I don't know if you can do it to people on your friends list but I hope you can, that would be really entertaining.

There is another one where you just have to follow them around without being spotted, not sure if they get told you are following them unless they see you so its hilarious when they walk past you in the street and don't notice.
