Ubisoft Demos Watch_Dogs Live On "PS4" [UPDATE: Actually A PC]

Posted on Wednesday, February 20 @ 22:00:00 Eastern by

[Update]: Lethean has discovered that Ubisoft's openworld gameplay demo fo Watch_Dogs was in fact running on a PC.

During today's PlayStation Meeting 2013, Ubisoft took the stage to demo Watch_Dogs running live on PlayStation 4 hardware. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot told the audience in New York that the PlayStation 4's connected environment would help lift the experience players could expect from the future-looking narrative and gameplay in Watch_Dogs.

In the demo, the player sees a petty-theft take place and then gives chase across the city. The player was able to run through buildings and activate traps, not just for his target, but also for pursuing police officers. An exploding transformer box stops the perpetrator, but the player has to use automated traffic pylons to halt a pursuing cop car.

As the pursuing forces continue to build, the player takes to a rooftop and a subway station to make his getaway.

    Super stoked. Looks good. I do worry about how intensive simulating so many people on screen is for the hardware. This is beta so I can excuse some frame rate hiccups.

    haha, the stream of today's event didn't help that frame rate at all did it?

    That to. And really the scale of the game is a big achievement even on the new hardware. Which is the equivalent of a high end pc.

    I'll definitely be picking this up on pc, but it looks pretty nice on PS4 too. Lighting effects were great.

    I like it. Looks like PS4 could have a strong initial line up of games.

    This game will suck ass on 360( I'm a 360 owner so no ps3/4 fanboy bs) I can already see it struggling to maintain 30 fps. I'm officially done supporting old hardware. Ill be skipping out on any new game for the 360 this year and putting that money for buying a ps4 and this game. Most definitely a day 1 purchase. I wish destiny would be in the lineup as well: :(
