Ubisoft confirms Watch Dogs won’t hit 1080p on either PlayStation 4 or Xbox One
A few days back, gamers were led to believe that Watch Dogs on PlayStation 4 would run at 1080p resolution and 60 frames-per-second. That revelation came by way of Sony’s description of the game at the PlayStation website. But if you click that link now, you’ll find no such description—the claim was removed soon after it began getting press. Now Ubisoft has revealed the actual resolution for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in a blog post at the Ubisoft blog. The game also looks great on both generations of consoles,” the post reads. “On new-gen systems the game will run at 900p on PS4 and 792p on Xbox One, at 30 frames-per-second on both consoles.” The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are both pack quite a punch, but so far, many third-party games have ended up running better on Son...

Watch Dogs whole map open from the start
Watch Dogs won’t have players trapped in a small section of the map, waiting patiently to complete enough missions to unlock more areas.

It’s like its own network to listen to what’s going on in the city. That u...
