And it's not like I won't play games at less than 60fps, but I'm a little concerned the consoles aren't even out yet and Ubisoft is already aiming for 30fps. 30fps and 720p is standard on the current consoles. They should be targeting 1080p and 60fps - those two things are more important to gameplay experience than whatever marginal increase in polygon count or texture detail they have planned instead.

... ha

I actually disagree, I think higher resolution textures and increased poly count have a bigger payoff then a resolution less then 1080p. And as long as the minimum frame rate doesn't dip below 30 I'm not as worried about frame rate either. GTAV for instance has been fine.

So the Xbox One comes out after the PS4, yet this game gets released on that system first? How does that happen?

Pretty sure that's just the European release date, which is a week after the X1. Here in the real world, it should be out on the 22nd, no?

Watch Dogs has been delayed into spring 2014
http://www.vg247.com/2013/10/15/watc...o-spring-2014/

Watch Dogs has been delayed into spring 2014, Ubisoft announced today.

The delay includes all versions, per the following statement from the Watch Dogs team:

“Our ambition from the start with Watch_Dogs has been to deliver something that embodies what we wanted to see in the next-generation of gaming. It is with this in mind that we’ve made the tough decision to delay the release until Spring 2014.

“We know a lot of you are probably wondering ‘why now?’ We struggled with whether we would delay the game. But from the beginning, we have adopted the attitude that we will not compromise on quality. As we got closer to release, as all the pieces of the puzzle were falling into place in our last push before completion, it became clear to us that we needed to take the extra time to polish and fine tune every detail so we can deliver a truly memorable and exceptional experience.

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you. We thoroughly enjoy and appreciate the way you respond on the web, at events, press conferences and during other opportunities we have to interact. Your passion is what drives us.

“We can’t wait to see you in Chicago next Spring. We are confident you’ll love this game as much as we love working on it.”

shit, so only DR3 is appealing to me for Xbox One launch. Oh well.

Well, that pretty much kills any interest people had left in this game. After GTA V this game looked less and less appealing. I'd be willing to bet it will sell around half of what it would sell launching next month. Sad, I was originally anticipating this game quite a bit.

Smells like a marketing decision.

If it's really a delay for quality, I respect that, but I think it probably has more to do with GTA V and their own AC4. There's too much open world this fall, and GTA V sucks all the air out of the room. Plus they will probably move more copies of AC4 this way.

In spring, Infamous is the only open-world to compete with on PS4 and nothing on XB1.

Regardless, it stinks for those who were looking forward to it.

Taking it out of launch bundles is going to hurt them, yes. But it'll sell well in the spring when there's nothing else to play.

For me it means even less interesting games for the new consoles.

OTOH Ryse will sell like pancakes. ;)

Except for that little game, what's its name? It's a shooter.

And yeah Infamous in the PS4.

hopefully the people who ordered a watch dogs bundle don't get fucked here. apparently ubisoft isn't really providing much information to the gaming websites as to what is going to happen for the people who did.

No kidding. It'll sell just fine. I'm not canceling my preorder for it just because it's been delayed. I've got plenty of other things to play.

Deftones 10-15-13 12:17 PM

Re: Watch Dogs
 
i'm going to cancel my gamestop order just to have that $30 for something else. no reason to let gamestop hang onto it when i can use it.

Moving it to Spring 2014? Wonder when it will come out relative to Titanfall?

That's pretty much how I feel, except Assassins Creed, Madden, and NBA 2k are there also.

Amazon says you get your system w/o the game.

Gamestop says you can keep your bundle and get the game when it comes out, or switch your bundle.

I don't think you understand the PS/Xbox crowd at all. :lol:

The WiiU is the red headed step child around here. The few of us that do own it will likely be buying Watch Dogs on a different platform. You and Gizmo might possibly be the only people buying it for the WiiU. Mario will be good but doesn't really help someone wanting a hot title on their new console.

I just added AC4 to my cart at Amazon. That'll hold me over.

I don't blame them if it really is about the quality of the game.
