ImBatman-

In other breaking news water is wet.

As long as you're playing it on Xbone, PS4 or PC the game will look great.

Pc wins again. Time for a coke.

PS4 still looks good but there is a smoothness and depth to the PC version. The lighting and shadows play a big part in that

Agreed. The gap is huge. At this point. we might as well already declair the pc a generation ahead.

No need to show the xbox1 version, it's already been confirmed to be better than the PS4 version thanks to the cloud!

My PC doeas a LOT more than just play games though. It was well worth the price. 

The start of the video was old build from the pc its clearly says and seems that the pc and ps4 and pretty much identical very identical and all that was difference is pc using Nvidia TXAA why ps4 was using AA post processing o and the blur is a lil less on the ps4.. Other then that its pretty much the same draw distance The graphics the lighting the npcs there both the same

They talked about the PC having more ambient lights and AO. 

PC looks better but what kind of PC? A PC where the graphics card alone costs double the price of a PS4? Not really worth it.

Looks great on both. Probably gonna get it on PC though.

Looks very beautiful, can't wait to play it on PS4.

The difference between PS4 and PC is minimal really, and that's what I expect at the beginning of the generation.

Watch dogs looks great

PC looks better but what kind of PC? A PC where the graphics card alone costs double the price of a PS4? Not really worth it. 

Pray_to_me

It was running on a 680 which you can get for around $400.  Or you could get a 7970 which costs less and has similar performance.  Or if you are a smart you can get a 670 and over clock it for 350 or so.  And if you are pro you could just get a 7950 for sub 300 and overclock the hell out of it.  Or you could get the new 760 or 770.  None of these cards are over $400.  Some as low as $250 or less depending on what sale is going on.

Why are they comparing old trailers of a UBISOFT game to new footage?

Remember Far Cry 3?

what about wii uCuby_Finest

PC, Xbone and PS4 are the main platforms. This version will be scaled back to WiiU, 360 and PS3, expect those versions to look way worse.

Where does it say you need a Titan to play this on higher settings than PS4 ? :roll:

this is a strong point. Great we know that PC has the best graphics (which is OBVIOUS) but for PS4's price, its visuals will be relatively comparable for teh 399 prictag.

the guy asked on what GPU and the price of said GPU.  He didn't ask about a build so I simply answered his question.  Some people just need to simply upgrade their GPU you know.  You don't go out a build a new rig every time you upgrade your computer.

Yeah... thats why I had to keep looking to the top left corner of my screen to see if it was PC or PS4 version... such a big difference :roll:

Consoles tend to hold their own against PC visuals for a year or 2 into their life cycle, with only small advantages on the PC side... for most people anyway.

My GTX 660TI, i7 @ 3.05Ghz & 12 GB of 1600Mhz RAM is going to have a hard time running Watch Dogs at 1080p at a solid framerate I'm afraid. I'm still undetermined as to whether opt for PS4 or PC version.

I really don't want to upgrade my PC again for another 2 years.

They say in the video how Watch Dogs has almost no pop-in. I'm sure GTA V will have lots.

But from a gameplay perspective, GTA V will be king.

I'm so hyped for Watch Dogs!!!!!!

When you puy things that way... the price of the extra graphics vs price of PC do make the PS4 look more tempting.

Aaaaand then you can go ahead and buy a new card when next gen really hits its stride and we're not playing PS360 ports such as watch dogs. Gonna need to upgrade your CPU which means new mobo, new OS or if you have a licence you still need to reinstall all your shit should take you a day not including reasearching parts, waiting for them to ship, building the shit. And then still you'll still be stuck playing X-Box one ports and maybe one or two Kickstarter funded exclusives that may or may not ever release.  

Ooooor just get a PS4, all these mutiplats and real actual exclusives not crowd funded pipe dreams. 400 bucks and set for 5-10 years. Boom, Done, Easy.
