GS News Update: Watch Dogs runs at 900p on PS4, 792p on Xbox One

boy were they off with their 1080p, 60fps statement

Yes but the PS4 is the console with the power to do it in 1080p 60fps. WAIT!

Ok what was the use of even buying a next Gen system if these games are not in 1080p. I mean come on its not next Gen then. I spent $530 dollars on my console can a developer please give me my moneys worth.

Anyone else remember the reveal of this game.....seems like 10 years ago.....what a bunch of bullsh*t Ubisoft...bad Ubi, bad Ubi.

If the Wii U version will run at 1080p but with dated textures .Will you keep igniting "Res" war ?

Now this is a REAL TESTIMONY of the "power" the new consoles hold. Game looks like a this gen GTA and they can only run it in 900p.

Nothing but pathetic.

People have been arguing about which one to prioritize, resolution or frame rate. Now you have neither. All I hear are excuses and white washing of the the discrepancies between the hype they have generated and the grim reality. Don't get me wrong, gameplay is still the king. But wouldn't be nicer to have good gameplay while enjoy some promised true next gen graphics. I am growing less and less interested in this game. The devs are either incompetent to fulfill their promise or straight out lying through their teeth from day one.

absolutely pathetic. if there are games on last gen that could run at 1080p, then there is no reason or excuse as to why next gen console games can't run at full 1080p @ 60fps 100% of the time, when the hardware is more than 10X more powerful. if it weren't for some of the next gen exclusives coming out that I want to play, I would otherwise find no need in owning a next gen console.

I am sad to hear this. Weren't many of the dev companies the ones screaming about how they needed a new console generation to realize their vision, and how we players want a new console generation even if we don't know it yet? Now we have it, and the players have bought into it, and these same devs can't seem to even accomodate the baseline of graphic standards with these systems. 1080 and 60 fps or bust. We did our part, and shelled out for the new consoles with enough power to deliver the graphics that the devs said they needed and we wanted whether we knew it or not, now it is time for them to man up and deliver.

whenever i see the xbone games come out at "792p" it comes across just embarrassing. Just stick to 720p if they can't get the frame-rate at a solid 30fps.

I still don't care about a futuristic Ass Creed game.

That is excellent news (if it is true and Ubi aren't just lying their ass off) but I still think they should have gone further. 720p, 60fps and whatever graphics they need to use to get there.

The differences in resolution are minimal unless you are sat stupidly close to a massive TV or your TV is particularly massive to start with. Resolution makes the game smoother but most console games already have limited graphical fidelity anyway.

But I think 60fps should be the next gen standard.

And here I was upset about still only having a PS3. I guess if the game is capable of running on an old console it wasn't very advanced to begin with. This game is over-hyped, anyway.

I preordered it with my launch Ps4 expecting the system to easely run 1080p at 60Hz. Now a year later I switch to the Pc version

It's time XBOX and Microsoft fans accept that their system of choice is simply not good enough to compete with the PS4. PC gamers, stay out of this. The consoles will surely be able to run this game well, A fact which MANY PC gamers including myself will not be able to say. Many PC games don't run well enough and do justice to modern rigs thanks to poor ports, system specific bugs, crashes, overheating etc. Knowing Ubisoft and their fascination with DRM, I expect similar poor performances on PC with this game. PS4 is the BEST system on next gen. It's a fact which is finally coming through and Microsoft are indirectly acknowledging it as well, thanks to a price cut yet again.

Pretty good, really funny! "But" the only gamers, who still doesn't know if the game is going to run properly on day one, are the PC gamers.

Considering how hard is for developers to display their hd games on these "next gen" consoles, the only explanation I can think about is that Sony and MS are planning to shrink the consoles life cycle to 5 years.

Why is the self proclaimed "master race" acting like this is news? Did you really think that this generation was going to perform better than PC? The last generation of consoles was running games at HD upscaled 580p while PC was running the same games at 1080p. Nothing has changed.

Quality of graphic effects and gameplay are way more important to console gamers than resolution. Console gamers won't notice the difference because they aren't sitting 2 feet away from the screen.

PS4: The gamer oriented console.

X1: The crazy resolutions console.

So if you want the truly "next gen" version, you're gonna have to play it on PC

Mmm....click bait...

It's odd to see the PS4 getting the same derision this time around that had been previously reserved for the XONE. But I'll say it again: We console gamers have had very few games that run at 1080p and even fewer of those that run at 60 fps. So why are we acting like we've been robbed of some precious benchmark that we've never achieved anyway?

"True Next Gen open world game" lolololol.

Most anticlimatic "gen" ever.

So now instead of sony or one fanboys we have to put up with pc morons, yippie.

So, pretty much most of us that bought next gen consoles only wanted a game made with last gen in mind. If the resolution is lower then the frame rate should have been higher. The compromise needs to be reasonable and to me it's not. In Ubisoft having more time to better optimize all aspects of the game it decided to go the easy route and just add more of what it wanted weighing the performance down instead causing it to sacrifice resolution and frame rate. I think that if the Xbox One and PS4 would have been more complicated and less closer to the architecture of PCs that a great deal of developers would be in trouble when it came to getting out their games. As a consumer/gamer just remember you only get what you accept If you start off accepting below par you will always get below par because you said it was ok. I've had this game reserved since last year, at 1st on the Xbox 360 and then switched to the PS4 version but now I think I will cancel the reservation and wait for global ratings before picking it up at some point. I can wait a little longer.

While I'm glad that Ubisoft focused on gameplay over visuals, it does bother me a little bit that A) They are mentioning this now only days away from launch, after people already pre-ordered and B) That they couldn't achieve full 1080P at 60 FPS on either next gen console. I know that visuals aren't the 'end all' to gaming but its important and in this day and age of technology there should be no excuse for it. I'm sure resolution drop won't make it any less enjoyable to play but we bought next gen systems to play next gen games on didn't we? I know I did.

So doesn't this mean Sony flat out lied a couple of days ago??
