Does it look better than Watch_Dogs?

[Andreas]

and my claim for those unrealistic animations is very valid. every npc has the exact same animation for every action. not like watch dogs where they have multiple animations.

[...]

not to mention look at those textures.

V obviously has its technical shortcomings compared to Watch Dogs - you are comparing a last-gen game with a current-gen game, so what else is to expect?

 

The fact that the NPC animations in V look the same might be a result of the console limitations. In case you haven't noticed, NPCs also die a lot faster in the game than in the previous GTAs. In GTA IV, if you kick someone's ass then they aren't necessarily dead; there is the chance that the NPC is just unconscious, for instance. I assume that this is not the case in V because Rockstar attempted to squeeze out all the processing power of the PS3 and Xbox 360. If it's possible for NPCs to be unconscious, rather than dying instantly, there is more AI going on in the area, which puts more load on the processor. Whether those things will be changed for the next-gen and PC releases is not known, but it certainly isn't impossible since it was stated in the announcement of the said releases that they will feature upgraded Artificial Intelligence.

 

Lastly, the screenshots you provided don't really convince me that Watch Dogs looks better. Textures are one thing that decide whether a game looks good or bad, but there is more than just that. While WD's textures are certainly better, which is no surprise considering that better hardware can handle more, the lightning looks bad in my honest opinion. It is one thing when a video game isn't colourful, but it's another thing when it looks so colourless and lifeless that I'd consider it immersion-breaking. And the latter is the case with Watch Dogs, as far as I am concerned. GTA IV is often called dull and colourless, but I think it was acceptable; in fact, it was more than just acceptable it actually fits really well to the city, the story, the characters, and it looks visually fairly good.

thats your true argument. gta 5 pushed last gen but lacked in textures. every game has its fair share in glitches and bugs. dont even try to deny that. gta 5 still has glitches that arent fixed. so does watch dogs. but thats not the point of this discussion. the point of this discussion is which looks better, and you just confirmed that watch dogs looks better than gta 5 at the moment.

and to prove it here this is watch dogs on the ps3

notice how the textures still look fair on the ps3.

notice how the textures are blurrier.

notice how watch dogs textures are sharper and therefore dont need to have as many different patches and whatnot? then look at the gta 5 textures, they are more blurry and try to make up for it with having more patches and details in the road.

 

overall though watch dogs is better because of its sharpness. thats not to say that gta 5 doesnt look good. it does and i cant wait until next gen comes out to see the best graphics it has.

 

bottom line, watch dogs has better graphics because the textures are similar between next gen and last gen. now once gta 5 comes out on next gen, then we will really have a true comparison. but until then, watch dogs is a clear winner. end of story.

I never admitted that Watch Dogs looks better than GTA V stop lying. I only said that Watch Dogs has two advantages that is textures and ammount of vegetation when comparing GTA V's PS3/Xbox 360's version to Watch Dog's PS4/Xbox One and PC version, everything else is matter of opinion but GTA V does have better visuals, lighting and attention to detail. GTA V looks way better than Watch Dogs during the day even on LG, during the night they look pretty much equal especially when comparing to GTA V's LG versions to W.D's CG version. No, those features that i listed and showed you in IGN videos do make alots of impressions in the game and before that you said how GTA V was unrealistic Watch Dogs being more realistic which is not true at all. You do realize that Ubisoft took Assassins Creed mechanics for Watch Dogs? Look at running and combat, they almost look indentical, meanwhile they cant make proper physics and driving. Driving in Watch Dogs is terrible, so are crashing physics, bike physics are beyond horrendous. Pictures you have given me is on PC's low settings which has nothing to do with what PS3 looks like. I have given you PS4 and PS3 comparation. You do realize that consoles dont use realistic shadowing, have lower tesselation and are less sharper than PC graphics? What Ubisoft has done for PC version is dissapointment, it was supposed to look better than CG consoles. Did you even mind taking a look at Watch Dog's PS3's and PS4's comparation?

 

 

 

Notice how PS3 has less darker shadow's, lower texture resolutions on both ground and wall's, and lower lighting effects compared to PS4. Ofc, Textures arent only things that show how graphicaly game looks like.

 

Also in pictures you have shown, you didnt pick right GTA V's road

 

 

.Hacking is boring and repetitive, so are missions, digital trips are more Saints Row bullsh*t and that is made specificaly for kids lol, police searching and driving around looking for your are the same things you idiot, stealth is not what GTA is all about, you cant even fight in Watch Dogs, so all you do is take out your sh*tty melee stick and beat enemies up, there is no more melee weapons which sucks, you cant even jump in the game nor shoot while driving, hiding in cars is not important and that is not what GTA is all about, spawning cars of your own choise is possile just buy your car on the internet and guy will deliver it to you. Watch Dog's multiplayer is boring as f*ck, only 8 players and nothing to do, i dont see many interiors in the game, i saw 24/7 and it wasnt enterable, in Q/A interview with developer of W.D someone asked him if we can enter Sears Tower, he said that we should find that out and meanwhile in the game it wasnt enterable, so many bullsh*t coming from developers too. Btw, since when does Chicago have mountains in suburbs?

This is a comparison between GTA V on PS3 and Watch Dogs on PC. GTA V has better graphics. You're wrong. Admit it. Stop ignoring the evidence.

[Krysalis]

 

you cant debunk this video btw, because everything that is shown here is true.

Nope.

 

Got clobbered by a train within 2 hours of playing.

 

BTW: A video showing only negatives will always make the game look bad.

 

I bet you I can find some videos that make GTA V look like absolute horsesh*t, but that accomplishes nothing.

 

^^^[Not talking about graphics]^^^

 

However, that still has nothing to do with anything.

 

Watch Dogs looks better than GTA V. Of course it does. What do you expect when it's a game released on more than a single generation?

 

^^^[Talking about graphics]^^^

 

That being said its impressive what Rockstar has pushed for GTA V. It may have not very good textures thanks to 512MB of RAM, but everything else is amazing. Ubisoft didnt even bother making PC version to look way better than consoles. There are some differences on PS3 with lighting, lower texture resolutions and lower shadow's but thats it.

[StJimmy]

I think in terms of NPCs, WD may have more varied scripted things, but they don't react like GTA V pedestrians, they don't really have Intelligence, just what Ubisoft directed them to do. Whereas in GTA V, they react differently to the different things happening around them.

 

Also,in terms of Graphics, WD may be sharper, but I much prefer GTA's lighting. I think the overall art style is better in GTA V. It was like the BF3 vs Bad Company 2 debate. Sure 3 had better graphics, but it still looked uglier than Bad Company 2. Also, how come every picture you guys are showing of GTA V on PS3 look blurry? My game looks nothing like that.

[Geralt of Rivia]

He's using a low resolution, a low framerate, and not the highest settings available.

 

The comparison is flawed beyond belief.

 

And that's not even looking at the stupidity of comparing a 360/PS3 game to a PC game.

 

It's obvious which one will look better.

He clearly said that all settings in Watch Dogs were high. It might not be ultra, but remember that GTA V on LG looks more like low settings than anything else. Scale and frames mean jack sh*t. After all comparation is not fair.

Edited July 14, 2014 by Krysalis

[Xerukal]

Let me show you the error of comparing a last-gen console game to a PC game on ultra settings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grand Theft Auto V on last gen beats Watch_Dogs in art direction and lighting alone. But when inspected up close for even a fraction of a second, the ugliness is immediately evident and, depending on what type of person you are, insanely immersion breaking.

 

There are instances where GTA V is quite detailed in smaller areas, though. Interiors are obviously very detailed and thought out, as well as certain corners on the streets, but that's where the hiding of sh*tty textures ends.

 

The bottom line is, which game looks better is mostly subjective at this point in time. Because the art styles are so different. Chicago IS supposed to be an incredibly gloomy, windy city. Los Santos is a, and I quote, sun-soaked metropolis. One shines during the night and the rain, the other shines during the day and the sun. The differences couldn't be any more evident, lol.

 

What ISN'T subjective, is the fact that V on last-gen is a disgraceful piece of compromising sh*te when inspected up close in the outside areas, and even some interiors. This will obviously be rectified on the PC and NG versions, but we clearly aren't comparing WD to those anymore. Which is stupid, because you can't compare a LG game to a NG/PC one. It just doesn't f*cking work. Stop it.

 

Side-note: The rock texture in the bottom right of the WD pic looks pretty disgraceful, to be honest.

I got alot of messages back agreeing with me...and you know what funny lol,Gamespot was talking about their GoTY nominations and not once was Watch_Dogs mentions even Left Behind A Freaking Expansion Pack was mentioned then i said (quote)"Lol No Watch_Dogs? Is that game really that bad? and another Youtuber replied to me saying this (quote)" I played Watch Dogs and the main problems that I have with it is The Story is weak, the Characters are forgettable, and the driving is very bad and the stupid thing is you cannot shoot from your car, also some of the missions are repetitive. Its not a bad game but its just that it doesn't live up to everyone's expectations".Damn I was just speechless and Surprise,the fact is Ubi were trying to dethrone GTA in everyways with this game but utterly failed (although it great to hear the game sold 8ml copies for a new ip,but still have a long way to go) it not even near Saints Row talk less of saying a Legendary and Iconic IP that is GTA...V trashes WD on LG versions,it will destroy it with the NG/PC re-releases.

Yeah i guess before game was released there were rumours that map would be land blocked, something tells me it would be dope if it was made that way.

The MP in WD is actually just copy pasted straight out of the core concept of the Manhunt mode from Assassin's Creed Brotherhood's Multiplayer.

 

Hide in plain sight, act like the AI/pedestrian, blend in and avoid getting killed. Except now you have to wait for a bar to fill, then get the f*ck outta there.

 

The only innovation they could come up with is the fact that the chase after being discovered can be exhilarating, and that the person hacking you can fight back and use street hacking against you in your own game. That's also true with chase-breakers in AC's Manhunt modes, though. So it is all very similar.

 

And come on, you show up as a random ped on the host's screen, but you are still Aiden in your game? That's just f*cking lazy. Why not give us a unique model for MP, like in the original E3 2012 trailer (at the end)?

No he does not know what he's on about. Watch_Dogs does not have forgettable characters and Watch_Dogs has a stronger story than GTA V.

GTA V has forgettable characters and a weak story. I was only pointing that out.

 

Did you actually remember who Stretch was at the end?

Did you remember Tanisha when she entered Franklin's house?

 

GTA V's story was weak due to the low amount of character development (69 missions is not enough for a game with three protagonists).

 

In Watch_Dogs, I knew who everyone was, and the story was far stronger than GTA V's.

GTA V has a lot of plot holes, whilst my only concern with Watch_Dogs is the unrealistic hacking.

 

Anyway:

In terms of graphics on last gen, GTA V wins.

For Gameplay, GTA V wins.

But for characters and storyline, Watch_Dogs wins, by far.

 

As this thread is about the graphics, all I can say is yes, GTA V does look better than Watch_Dogs on the last gen consoles.

I dont know how long Watch Dogs is. Indeed it sucks that story is shorter. But at least missions were more varied, more detailed, story was interesting and you cant deny it. In Watch Dogs it was opposite, repetitive missions and side missions, story was interesting so were characters, i love Defalt alot, he is awesome.

[Xerukal]

No. It's realistic and refreshing for there to be a different "persona" that you inhabit upon hacking a player. I don't know. The people who made this game are paid writers, developers and coders, the least they could have done is come up with a mildly intriguing way of explaining why you appear as an NPC in someone's game.

 

The fact that MP right now is basically "Aiden versus Aiden" is what's truly unrealistic. How are there two Aidens going after eachother? What is the one being invaded supposed to be? A fake? It's unexplainable within the laws of the set game world, lol.

 

The core concept of the MP was supposed to be other players playing as COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CHARACTERS stalking and "following" Aiden through the game, either helping him or undermining him as things escalate. You can clearly see this was the intent at the end of the E3 2012 trailer.

 

Here, at the 13:35 mark.

 

 

 

 

 

The fact of the matter is, this was completely downgraded into an overly simplified mode, and the whole "follow Aiden through Chicago" concept was scrapped in favor of that stupid tablet/mobile mini-game in which you must use the CTOS system either against Aiden, or with him, to either help him go through the checkpoints in a vehicle or sabotage him in his attempts.

 

Time constraints happened and we ended up with more than just a visual downgrade.

The MP in WD is actually just copy pasted straight out of the core concept of the Manhunt mode from Assassin's Creed Brotherhood's Multiplayer.

 

Hide in plain sight, act like the AI/pedestrian, blend in and avoid getting killed. Except now you have to wait for a bar to fill, then get the f*ck outta there.

 

The only innovation they could come up with is the fact that the chase after being discovered can be exhilarating, and that the person hacking you can fight back and use street hacking against you in your own game. That's also true with chase-breakers in AC's Manhunt modes, though. So it is all very similar.

 

And come on, you show up as a random ped on the host's screen, but you are still Aiden in your game? That's just f*cking lazy. Why not give us a unique model for MP, like in the original E3 2012 trailer (at the end)?

how is that lazy? you think its realistic to just change characters out of nowhere? someone comes into your game and then poof, aiden is gone and your multiplayer character appears? that is stupid. its much better how it is right now.

 

No its not stupid, its more stupid seeing how you are different to other players and you are Aiden on your own, it sucks very much, i dont know why they've done that, its just retarded.

Watch dogs has better graphics but gta v is more fun, or the other way around, matter of opinion i guess.

The Story is weak, the Characters are forgettable,

Maybe he was talking about GTA V?

 

Or maybe, he knew what he was talking about.

 

No he does not know what he's on about. Watch_Dogs does not have forgettable characters and Watch_Dogs has a stronger story than GTA V.

GTA V has forgettable characters and a weak story. I was only pointing that out.

 

Did you actually remember who Stretch was at the end?

Did you remember Tanisha when she entered Franklin's house?

 

GTA V's story was weak due to the low amount of character development (69 missions is not enough for a game with three protagonists).

 

 

 

Congratulations. You've pointed out two characters that are forgettable.

 

Now, allow me to present my contribution for W_D as of which characters are indeed forgettable:

 

All(most) of them.

i dont see how you can find it boring and repetitive. you have so much to do not including the amazing multiplayer that it has. watch dogs recreated chicago very well and dont try to tell me not.

Im not talking about those, im talking about these:
