first person riot van griefing is hilarious, that 1 way bulletproof glass where I can shoot through the window to kill others but they can't.

To be honest if Watch_Dogs had offered a lot more stuff to do in Online i think they could've competed slightly but GTA would've won Online overall.

 

 

 

 

 

I wonder what Watch_Dogs 2 is going to bring as far as Online

 

Watch dogs beats GTA in dynamics. More dynamic weather effects. Trees move, leaves fly around, trees reacts to weather effects. Better lightning, better water graphics, better rain graphics, better car handling, better story, better random events like people standing and rapping etc.

 

sh*t even good online just not that developed as gta.

Watch Dogs driving was terrible.

And GTA ng is better? No, watch dogs driving mechanics is a mix between gta 5 and gta 4. Not perfectly realistic but more realistic than gta 5. sh*t, every tree in gta looks the same but not in watch dogs. People expected so much out of wd they just turned it down without giving it a chance.

I played the sh*t out of WD.

That's why I originally got my PS4.

Not bagging on the game in any way other than I despised the driving.

If you liked it fine.

You were definitely in the minority though.

Well I´m sorry u feel that way then because I think R* could learn alot by looking at some of the WD features in the game. Overall singleplayer was better than gta and u haven´t mentioned why it wasn´t. Online I agree GTA beats wd, because of the range of stuff u could do.

 

The story of gta seemed rushed and in wd they atleast put some effort into the story. The city looks astounding, with its hotspots history, with random events, with awards, with random real life npc events, with dynamic city and weather, with great looking cars and handling (more realistic). I gotta say, even on GTA next gen the graphics doesn´t beat WD graphics not even near. But I´m playing on pc not console so that´s why it might be the case I feel this way.

That window must be made out of the same thing the back of the Zentorno [and the other troll cars] is made of. That one-way, magical, inter-dimensional sh*t...

So after getting acquainted with playing GTA on both the Xbox One and PS4, I will finally render my unbiased opinion on the graphical fidelity. The only difference I have been able to notice is the lighting and occlusion, and more specifically, the use of lens flares on the PS4; it's much more intense than Xbox One's. For those of you unfamiliar with it, see JJ Abrams.

 

As far as people's opinions on the differences in foliage, there is none, and it appears that most of these claims are just false. In fact, what I think people think they are seeing is not a difference in foliage, fidelity, blacks or any of that nonsense. What I'm seeing is a difference in what I was referring to earlier, the lighting. You can clearly see there's an ambient haze in the distance on the PS4 version, due to the lighting and/or ambient occlusion. It's also noticeable on white cars, where the sun seems to glow off the car paint. I took these snapshots myself. Also note, they're not standing in exactly the same spot, but I tried my best.

 

However, and I've said this already in this thread. I'm still experiencing frame drops in heavy traffic on the PS4, and this may be because the console is doing more work 'under the sun' with a ton of cars on the road. But these same frame rate stability issues have been reported on the PS4 versions of Assassin's Creed Unity and Call of Duty, so I'm less inclined to believe it's just me at this point. Problem is, you wouldn't notice these slight oddities unless you actually played both versions of the game.

 

So let that be the end of it.

Meh, I hate the crashing though...and unfortunately, GTA V PS4 has added that same screen rattle...blech.

 

And also, all the cars looked like boxy sh*t in Watch Dogs.

Dude what are you going on about?

Bro just read my posts.

This is a "GTA" Forums thread about their current gen release title. Not WD's.

Once again all I did was give my opinion on the DRIVING style of an off topic game.

Why are you asking me to talk about anything other than that?

That's your deal homie.

wHAT? Crashing in wd is more realistic than gta. Hell,gta if u crash full speed u almost dont even get a scratch. In wd the engine sound different on every car and bike. Every car and bike handles different. If u crash, it will sound. Crash several times it will smoke out of the front end (just like in real life), crash even more in high speed and it will be undriveable.

 

Cars looks beatiful in my oppion

In my opinion GTA V is better in every detail.

Yeah I like Watch Dogs but even I can admit that lol. GTA kills watch dogs in driving dynamics.

[ThaSouljaCity]

Driving anything other than the motorcycles in Watch Dogs was an awful experience. Maybe because I played it on a PS3 but the ocean dynamics weren't that good either, (rain looked weird too) The shooting had some getting used to also.

 

Though I did enjoy the story wayyy more than V's so there's that. Plus Chicago is nowhere near chaotic as Los Santos.

[Mottershead]

I've not had much time on the PS4 version of GTA5, but have really been amazed at the difference between old gen and current gen versions. The only four downsides I have for current gen GTA5 so far is:

 

The crashing of a car makes the screen go all weird.

The sniper rifle zoom-in button has been changed. (Thanks for that, R*. What about those of us with bad fingers?)

The background when you pull up a gun to shoot is all blurry. (Just what my eyesight needs.)

The blips not all appearing on my map at once. (Is there not a way to turn that nonsense off?)

 

 

...oh! and also running into a fcuking god mod user already.

[X S]

Why does no one like the motion blur?

[Tweadie Bird]

Why does no one like the motion blur?

I don't know. I really love the motion blur. For me it makes the game look far more awesome.

If the blur effect (when you lift your gun) bothers you, you can turn it off in the display settings.

 

I agree that the blips not appearing can be kind of annoying in online. The main blips that I care about are my friends and crew mates, though. I have hard time finding crew members on the map without accessing the start menu.

[Soran Is On]

I turned off depth of field. other than that every improvement was great.

I have one slightly negative reaction this new online release....

 

The lack of Wildlife is quite disappointing... Below is my video on the subject.

These consoles are not as powerful as they should be. In fact, they're pretty laggard in terms of cutting-edge technology. So much for "new gen". Rockstar may, however, be able to extract more juice from these consoles down the road, but in doing so, I feel they might continue to ignore wildlife in lieu of something far greater, such as a map extension. That's a compromise I'm willing to accept.

Consoles were not really about cutting edge tech. Sure Microsoft and Sony tout them to be, but ultimately consoles are supposed to have enough tech upgrades that both customers want/demand and what developers can utilize.

 

Cutting edge also means expensive most of the time and tech is always evolving. For what the PS4 and Xbone offer, it's impressive. Yeah it may not be ermagerd OP PC stuff but it aint WII U's either.

The rain and storms in watch dogs is better than 5. The water effects is too.
