Intresting, I do wonder how the old consoles will hold up when playing this.
Will DF do a new versus old Gen comparison?

Will DF do a new versus old Gen comparison?

The London Environement must have more geometry by the virtue of having more distinct buildings.
Amazing to think they are running in the same hardware really
The ray tracing is really impressive but I don't like watch dogs. This makes me want next gen splinter cell so bad.
Just to clarify, isn't VRR a system-wide toggle with Xbox?
Like, it's honestly fair game to mention it on Ubi's part, but it just works at all times if you enable it at the system level, right? That was my impression with the Xbox One X implementation — the game doesn't necessarily need to support it, it just works when it's enabled on a compatible display and the game is running within supported refresh rates.

Could AI see your RT reflection and see you that way? :o
Watch Dogs was a ps3/360 gen game, that's why tbh
Pretty impressive that it was on those consoles
It should be the same. I think they are just using it as a next gen marketing bit in this video. I'm gonna imagine that majority of people didn't utilize it this gen, so it's able to be recycled as a next gen feature.
Theoretically I would imagine this game supports VRR on one x as well, just not sure what kind of FPS it's outputting on this.
Never been interested in the series because of the concept but the game looks great imo.
So it seems clear that when Ubisoft is talking about '4K' it's actually dynamic 4K on next gen platforms.
Nothing necessarily bad because dynamic is the way to go instead of wasting resources for an empty bullet point of native 4K at the cost of other features that contribute more to make the game impressive looking.

That actually reminds me of the infamous Watchdogs gameplay trailer.

Splinter Cell and Raytracing is a match made in heaven.
it's like the Raytracing killer app, in the same way that the original splinter cell relied heavily on shadow maps.
Reflections in a stealth game is when raytracing becomes a game changer in terms of gameplay
It's Dx12 as far as I know and using features from dx12u
What I was getting at was game development utilizing full dx12u... Super sampling etc
User warned: Platform wars
PS5 would probably melt trying to do this.
Edit: This was a joke referring to the original Watch Dogs on PS4. Too subtle I guess.

Valhalla doesn't have ray tracing, they don't need to use it.
Also, completely different teams and engines.
Hey I remember that thread. Turned out it was ps4 footage all along lol
Damn this no doubt settled in. Was thinking of starting it on my One X soon but I'm waiting the few weeks to have the entire experience be among my first next gen experiences. It seems silly not to wait since I do have the Series X preordered.
Is it capture equipment or something else that makes the One X version look so washed out in comparison
Pretty sure the Series X is maintaining a higher overall resolution, and the nature of the reflected light makes the colors pop more.
Looks like a mismatch of black level between input and capture device.
I think there is an issue with One X captute too. Like Limited/Full range mistake.
This is impressive but it could be very surprising for some considering they didn't expect such RT quality form next-gen consoles, while it's not surprising at all for me cus I was expecting next-gen consoels to deliver in that regard.
So are all the light sources in the game ray traced? If that makes sense? For example if I could build walls like in fortnight and made a box around myself would it be pitch black inside?
3080 RT looks higher res to me, but comparative quality of the footage not ideal. Regardless, good early effort for consoles on that front.
Not a fan how this game handles construction materials and the way they interact with light though. That aspect looks firmly current gen.
Yes, the XSX footage in that comparison looks blurrier than the oriignal youtube vidoe while the PC footage is direct feed so we need direct feed vs direct feed for proper comparisons.
Indeed. This is not the ebst example of RT especially all current-gen brute forcing RT as an after effect. Later proper next-gen games will be built from scratch with RT mind so not only thry gonna look better but they will have better performance too.
No, that would be global illumination. Watch Dogs uses only RT reflections.
Wait so the next gen update wasn't even out yet?
Wow, this shit is coming in hot.
It's a system wide toggle, a game needs to be using the Xbox's vsync option for it to function (no in game toggle)
Apparently it was released, then pulled and had now been released again
The game wasn't even on my radar but it looks so colourful. I might have to get it just for that. The aesthetics are awesome, even if I don't know if I'd like the gameplay.
I used to think the same thing, but aside from backcompat: the desire to play anything remotely similar to it was real.
and then i recently started watch dogs 2 and after a few hours getting to grips w/ it: i'm really starting to appreciate it for it's own merits.
Saying that: i did mainly just stick to main missions and treat it like a stealth game.
if you haven't tried it yet: i'd say it's worth it, esp. since it's cheap now
Interesting. He seems pretty subdued in his praise, especially compared to what he said about Spider-Man. It could be that Ubisoft's implementation was not as impactful.
Yeah does not sound too excited especially if you consider the reaction to spiderman
Praise for Watch Dogs Legion on PC has been fairly subdued on here. Its a bit of a mixed bag.
