Does it look better than Watch_Dogs?

[~Tiger~]

This topic is about which game looks better.

 

We've had countless topics about the gameplay elements, they all ended badly and they all got locked.

 

Please don't send this topic to the same place.

GTA V looks better, but Watch_Dogs is the better game.

 

@Walkingsickness, that doesn't make much sense, GTA V is running away with the poll and the majority of people on here would pick GTA V over Watch_Dogs, so how are people on this topic "on Watch_Dogs' dick"? Not only that, but GTA V has had smoke blown up it's ass by reviewers and gamers everywhere, the game's been over praised and given undeserved 10/10 scores all over the place. So if anything aren't people, as you would say "On GTA V's dick"?

Yeah... Watch dogs has better gameplay. In your opinion. You think GTA V is winning because this is a gta v website? OK, we'll see:

All these polls were created after Watch Dogs was released.

 

I also said, on top of this being a GTA website, "GTA V is having smoke blown up it's ass by reviewers and gamers EVERYWHERE."

Those graphics look nothing like the graphics we recieved for PS4 and they don't look better than GTA IV modded:

 

 

 

That's the actual graphics for PS4.

Fact GTA V has better graphics, animations, and textures. The weather effects goes to watch Dogs.

GTA fanboys, GTA fanboys everywhere.

 

Although I do think GTA V is better...

Both games are great, IMO. It's just that some of you are hating on WD simply because it isn't a GTA game, or as some of you put it, a "GTA clone".

 

The real battle will be GTA V (PS4/PC) Vs WD (PS4/PC).

Ubi shouldn't have released WD for last gen, IMO. This would have allowed them to make a better PS4/Xbone/PC experience.

Honestly I just hate watch dogs, because is a overhyped game.

 

those are actually the graphics of the ps4 version. its called rain and it makes the game look totally different.

 

better animations? gta 5 doesnt have moving clothes like watch dogs.

 

 

 

better textures?

 

 

and better graphics?

 

 

 

as of right now watch dogs is photo realistic and gta 5 is somewhat realistic.

 

and thanks for saying that you just hate it because it was overhyped. now i know that you are using your hate for it to give the illusion that it looks bad.

First of all, stop with the goddamn annoying quote trains, learn to <snip> images.

 

Second, why don't you compare Max Payne 3 graphics with Watch_Dogs graphics? It's not open world but it pretty much does everything better on the graphic departments. Does it even have dynamic normal maps? For such a tiny ass game with a tiny map it doesn't. Funny, because even GTA V has exactly that and it's much bigger in size. It also has DX9/DX10 support unlike Watch_Dogs.

max payne 3 is a totally different story because its not open world. therefore you can have better graphics. and wtf is a dynamic map? and fyi the map is a bit bigger than the gta 4 map. i am 100% you guys are trolling now.

[Delta India Echo]

and wtf is a dynamic map?

Dynamic normal map. Also learn to read, I clearly said the game is BIGGER IN MAGNITUDE. Jesus Christ are you that stupid.

 

 

GTA V also has this. Does Watch_Dogs have it? Straight NO.

I am gonna drop this discussion here. I already gave my two cents.

[Detective Phelps]

@DopeFresh Let's compare last-gen WD with last gen GTA V, not current-gen WD and last-gen GTA V.

The moving clothes effect is only on the current gen version.

 

@Rahjee

Unlike GTA V, WD had memorable characters. Did you honestly remember Stretch and Franklin's ex? If I may ask, who were these "forgettable characters" in WD? You also didn't answer my question on the endings. Do you think all 3 endings are good? For me, only A and C were decent. B was clearly rushed. WD, on the other hand, has a good ending, IMO.

 

V has three protags, so it needs more than at least 150 missions. 69 missions is not enough for a game with 3 protags.

 

You hate WD, so obviously you would prefer GTA V. As for you rating GTA V 9.25/10, that's your opinion.

 

 

Anyway, we should take this to PM, as this is a thread about graphics, not the storyline and gameplay.

 

 

 

 

I can't wait for GTA V to release on current gen and PC. Then we can compare it with WD on current gen and PC.

GTA V will probably win, if R* don't downgrade the graphics like Ubi did.

no its still on the 360. the trench coat moves with walking.

 

as far as the next gen version i dont think the graphics really improve much over the last gen version. the textures look a little better but thats about it. apart from the increase of foilage which watch dogs still has more.

W_D's water looks better

WHAT?! No it doesn't the water in WD looks spiky the waves are all triangles gtav on last gen got water effects right and on current it's just amazing

That is simply not true, sorry.

Watch Dogs looks nice during night and rain, no question, but during day it looks like a 5 year old game. Take a look at vegetation, it gives some impression but Project Oblivion Mod for GTA SA can do better than that. Fact, is graphics were downgraded from E3 2012, and this is why Ubisoft is not kind of company i would trust too much. In my honest opinion, GTA V looks awesome in any way, lighting, visuals, just everything, especially on PS3 and X360, the only so far disadvantage for GTA V is textures and lack of vegetation on the ground but that will be fixed on CG, but this will remain like this untill game comes out for CG and PC, right then, W.D will be blown out of the water 100%.

Your intelligence is dissapointing me.

[NYC PATROL]

There's honestly some points while I'm playing V on PS3 I think it's a next gen game. Once V comes to PS4/XB1/PC it will blow WD away. V on PS3 already beats WD on PS3 so....

 

I played WD on PS4 at a friends house. Yes it has a few nice moments but imo there is little to be in awe over. It looks washed out more than half the time.

[MikeyB]

I've got Watchdogs on the PS4 ... The NPCs have the best AI and the make the city feel more alive compared with GTA V.

Why do they never fight me then? Some AI Meh.

They know who you are. No one f*cks with the fox (except gangbangers).

why did you leave out the part where i said apart from the foilage increase?

 

and i really dont see much of a difference. next gen looks just more contrasted with more grass. and if it is truly a port like the other gtas, i dont really know how much better it would look. i still think that the textures are key in good graphics. with the slightly better textures, it really doesnt show a big difference between the two.

 

still watch dogs feels way more alive. the npcs are unpredictable which makes it lively. in gta they kind of feel like robots with set reactions and animations.

[Detective Phelps]

@^

In WD, the NPCs don't move out of the way when there's a police car with it's sirens on, or a civilian car honking it's horn.

The NPCs are not unpredictable, because they never attack you unless they are in a gang. Even then, it has to be a random crime or a mission.

 

As for GTA V, it's not just grass. Traffic and the vehicle interior has also improved in the current gen version of GTA V.

The water has also significantly improved. GTA V on current gen will be better than WD on current gen. And by "current gen", I mean the PS4/XBone.

 

The major difference between GTA V's NPCs and WD's NPCs is that in WD, they have a randomly generated profile, they can play football (or as you yanks call it, "soccer"), beatbox, and carry a portable stereo. This, and many more NPC features in WD, makes WD's Chi-town more lively than LS.

 

But that doesn't mean the the NPCs in WD are perfect. As I've mentioned above, NPCs in WD don't react to police sirens, whilst NPCs in GTA V do.

[Krysalis]

Those who believe AI in W.D is better than in GTA V should watch this video lol:

[BLOOD]

Lol Watch_Dogs doesnt even have Police Boats,something every Openworld Game have had since the Modern day Creator of the genre, GTA3 burst into the Gaming Landscape 13 years ago...Just Saying!

they are still better than the npcs in gta 5. i dont mean the driving ai that is. i mean the walking ai. in gta most ai movements are standing around. but in watch dogs it can go from making out to freestyle rap battling. besides most people in real life dont attack you for no reason. that makes wd more realistic.

 

and as for next gen gta 5 we will just have to wait and see. right now im not seeing any significant differences apart from more cars, foilage, and car interiors.

 

the wd ai also does more things than the gta 5 ai.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7cBXCCKe_E

 

it feels like i know all the actions of the ai in gta 5 while watch dogs feels like they can do anything. they dont feel much more advanced than the gta 4 ai.

 

and so far no game has perfect npcs. in gta they react to you, but have sort of robotic type movements. in watch dogs they dont really react to you but they still have an unpredictability about them that gta doesnt. if gta wouldnt use the same animations for all the ai they may be better, but so far they all just seem the same.

There's also

 

Grand Theft Auto V will take full advantage of the power of the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC with across-the-board graphical and technical improvements to deliver a stunning new level of detail. Increased draw distances, finer texture details, denser traffic, and enhanced resolutions all work together to bring new life to the cities, towns, deserts and oceans of Rockstar North’s epic reimagining of Southern California.

 

 

with game world enhancements that include new wildlife, upgraded AI (added the "upgraded AI" part from the Steam store page and other pre-order sites), weather and damage effects, and an array of new details to discover.

well if it is just a port, i dont expect much more than what we already have. the textures still dont look as good as watch dogs and as for the ai we will have to wait and see. who knows all we saw was one trailer and a lot can change in a few months.

 

still as of right now watch dogs looks much better than gta 5.

sorry im neither. and the whole video is nitpicking all of the tiny little "issues" with the game. did you seem to forget that gta 5 was the most overhyped game. its full of glitches and more so than this biased video. its obvious that some guys who got wd play gta and since they dont get exactly what they get in gta, they get mad. now for graphics look at my older posts and you will find your answer. gta 5 has bad textures.

Painful to watch as someone who shipped the PS4-Watch Dogs edition from Amazon :')

It promised a lot, it didn't come close to delivering it. It was still fun, and it did look good. (At night in particular)

But GTA V easily batters them, even if it's on PS3. But hey, it's a new franchise.
