Watch Dogs - Graphics Comparison

Honestly, it looks pretty much the same on all 3. Lighting varies, but I suspect that has more to do with the fact that the game has you individually set the brightness than anything else. You can see jagged edges more easily on the Xbox One, but it seems fairly negligible.

Overall, it seems to be a fairly well balanced multi-platform game - It doesn't look like your experience would really suffer in any way regardless of platform.

They look nearly identical. Has anyone played them all and noticed any major differences?

This is totally awesome watch dogs i love it , i am waiting for Watch Dogs 2

should include WiiU comparison because they are still trying to sell that for $300.

Im still waiting on best exclusives and "app" support when it comes to XB1 vs PS4

Wow, people are giving their opinions speaking candid about Ubisoft and moderators here seems to be on here dictating and controlling what's being said.

Why do I say that? Because most of every comment that is posted here seems to favor Ubisoft and that doesn't represent the vast majority of people. Those comments that represent the vast majority including my own seems to be gone. Gamespot I am calling you out your a bunch of frauds!

I thought that this game is the new GTA IV from the PC prospective. It is just too demanding at it's release date, and just like GTA IV, this game along with Watch_Dogs is another game if you buy it for PC is a game that will run better after about 2 generations of GPU/CPU life cycles go by. I would wait on buying this game until the bugs are sorted out, and when the new generation of AMD/nVidia GPUs and Intel/AMD CPUs comes out this holiday season, and get the game cheap as a steam winter sale item after making a complete overhaul of current PC gaming hardware.

The consoles right now are the ones that are better, but once the new PC hardware comes out this game just like GTA IV will run smoothly when the new stuff comes out and the PC version will take over. This game just was not ready for prime time on the PC, but that not completely Ubisoft's fault, it's also Intel/nVidia/AMD fault for not getting the new PC hardware out on time for running this game like at E3. I just hope that GTA V does not have this same problem that has made Watch_Dogs and GTA IV both games I like go only as console only games, because of fan backlash and more piracy. This is not what the PC gamers need right now with the consoles selling like hotcakes and the PC finally getting out of it's long dark age after the 360 first came out.

The PC fan base needs to understand that these games are not going to have that 4K 120Hz FPS game right out of the box with current generation PC hardware unless you have gaming rigs valued at over $6500 and running a quad SLI setup with 4 780 Ti GPUs. This game is an investment for future PC upgrades like Crysis 1, GTA IV, and maybe even GTA V when it comes out in November. IF you have this mindset before buying the game then you can live with lower graphics settings and when you get the money to upgrade your rigs then you can crank it up to max while running at 120Hz while running those 8K ultra res texture third party mods. After all this game like GTA IV will run at basic entry level i3 CPU that runs like today's i5 in 2 life cycles and run on mid level GTX 1060/ R11 480x GPUs with 10 GB VRam.

PC wins outright (really wish I got myself a top gaming rig)

But I've played watchdogs on ps4 and Xbox one and there the same, people blowinng smoke to encourage the console war that's all.

If anything, the Xbox One textures are sharper than the PS4's. The PC of course wins, especially in shadows

So what we just learned is that even running with a less powerful machine the Xbox One version looks just as good as the PS4 version. The differences are so minor as to have no effect on the actual enjoyment of the story.

What they showed at E3 2012 vs what was released. Now that's the comparison people should be up in arms with.

Yeah, comparing a night screenshot with a day one looks like a good idea of lighting/shadows/gaming approach... Seems legit.

To be honest, the textures and characters look smoother on the PS4 than on Xbox One. The difference isn't that big, though.

PC performance on an AMD GPU is horrendous. I will skip this title for now. If I ever get an nVidia card, I might pick this up.

Alright lets go, you know the drill... wip out the digital dongs and have your worth measured by minor discrepancies.

Exclusives/fanboys/girls are what make the sales.

Sooooooooooooo, the PS4 lighting is a bit darker... hmmmmmmmm. let me turn down the brightness on my PC monitor!!! OMG Who knew, they look exactly alike. Oh wait no my PC still looks better.

The red car in the garage has different license numbers...!?!?

Aside from the darker lighting (read BETTER) on the Ps4... there is no visible differance in any of these.

Honestly can't tell the difference except it's a little darker on the PS4, which could be changed anyway through the settings menu.

PC version looks better but they all look terrible...

@amar1234 @melroyvandenberg Lol That's bullsh#t. I've played it on PC so I know that's a complete LIE!

Give me a USD 400-500 Budget that can output the graphics fidelity of Killzone Shadow Fall on the PS4 that comes in par with Crysis 3 very high setting that requires a USD 2000 beast with a min GTX 780 or AMD R9 290 to run with average fps of 35-40 without shutters (Infamous Second Son, is another rigid example). The point here that people always compare apple-to-apple; the PS4 architecture with 8GB DDR5 in a unified system is by itself a next gen tech enclosed in a portable very small & silent console that will have a life cycle on average of 7 years; by then a PC owner will upgrade twice at least to match more demanding next gen games with more orientation towards targeting more VRAM as in the case of Watch Dogs (More to Come: The Witcher 3, Division etc..). See Asus and EVGA with the orientation of custom PCB of 6 GB VRAM GTX 780 … Bring the PS4 plug it with a 42 inch HD led TV and enjoy multi / single playing while resting on a couch with utmost laziness J with good optimization, graphic fidelity, and brilliant exclusives. Forget about incompatibility; updating drivers; obsolete technology; heating problems ; blue screens ; RMAs warranties ; parts replacements --- Enjoy! J (Note: I own a High End Gaming PC with an SLI 780 and I Game on 1440p too); I am saying from my personal experience and not a “fan boy” point of view. Please next time when you do a benchmark "Gamepot" mention a minimum FPS.

Get a good graphics card and a faster processor or more ram. I have about 5 PCs that won't play skyrim on any setting above lowest, so once I built a decent gaming rig and updated my drivers to run good evga 660s in 2x SLI on an i5 3570k with 8 gigs ddr3, I was astonished at the improvements not only in graphics but in the game play as well. Threw in a samsung evo SSD, and getting almost zero load time. Running hi res texture pack and ENB. Astonishing, especially compared to the ps3. But that's skyrim, and with watch dogs' next Gen build, I'll be happy if I can play on my machine anything above medium settings. Can't wait to save up and get this game.
