Watch Dogs on Next-Gen Equal to PC on "High" Settings, Says Director

[Zac Jovanovic]

Yeah, based on the footage I've seen and those "Ultra" quality screens a little further up, it looks like it's in the same ballpark as Sleeping Dogs, visually, which runs like a dream on my fuckin' GTX 550Ti.

It's considerably better looking than Sleeping Dogs, especially at night, lightning at night is just beautiful. But I don't think it's better looking enough to warrant the massive difference in hardware requirements.

What's a bit disturbing is there is next to no visual gain going from High to Ultra but it absolutely wrecks performance.

Just to clarify, the "leaked" version is the retail disc version of the game, unless they plan to add graphical options via download at release the graphics are staying.

They claimed it wasn't, so I'm affording the possibility.

Oh, if we're talking about that 72/100 review a couple days ago I have no idea about that, might be.

But the version I played today is definitely retail.

Fair enough. And I doubt Ubisoft was telling the truth anyway.
