yea from the reviews I read on Gaf I am not so sure about Watch Dogs. I think the GTA4 vs Watchdogs video (posted below) 6:50 part I thought was fake till this chick from UK did it and it was true.

I'd like to defend Watch Dogs in that both games had vastly different development times, and of course budgets, cmon GTA, you know rockstar put a TON of $$ in that project. Whereas sure WD was dev'd by Ubisoft and their AC franchise is huge and Farcry and others...but Rockstar only had a few games out during the dev of GTAV versus all the games Ubisoft keeps pumping out.
I'd like to attack Watch Dogs, I saw this coming a mile away, so much demand and hype for a game has so far in my observing experience, increases how much we scrutinize a game when it finally releases. Just like a weird natural flow of things with fanboys and gaming I've seen time and time again, I really was on the negative side of things when WD was building up so much hype, resolutions aside, if you care about that crap, go join the PC gamers that care about Graphics more than Gameplay, I already went into this knowing that theres no way they can keep all their graphical promises, did you see the PS4 slip-up? the one where they removed the statement about WD running at 1080p with 60fps only possible on PS4...sad day when an aspect ratio makes or breaks a game and now they finally shipped this out and its being hacked to pieces for the "lies" it promised us.
Also, was that GTAV being compared to Last-Gen version of WD? I heard it was the gimped version, pretty much they made the game for current-gen, then reduced graphic detail and settings so it'd run on last-gen, versus GTAV that was built from the ground up to run at 1 settings, 360/PS3, pretty easy to know before in-game videos surfaced, that this was going to be "gimped" on hardware that was getting the lower graphic detail of things...why do
we they cry about such things...
(Sorry for the double post, but I dont think this counts when I'm talking about completely different things.)
