That framerate ain't lookin' so hot.

This. I don't loose my mind over not having a solid 60 FPS or the likes constantly running and 'am perfectly fine with something around 30 or sometimes even less, but...new consoles have kinda raised my expectations and you'd expect them to at least run with that constant 30 or bit over it.

But hey, it's a new game for PS4 and one that my PC most likely can't run, so I'll prooobably end up buying it anyway sooner or later after the release.

And even then, if the game dips down to the mid 20's on occasion, I'm willing to let that slide. But, and maybe it's just this trailer, but there were parts there that looked like they were in the low teens. That's baaaaaad.

@captain_felafel: this game looks great, but that dip during the multiplayer match was pretty bad.

I can see the influence that Grand Theft Auto V trailers have had on the marketing for Watch Dogs.

Well, not saying that it didn't work out for GTA V, but at least it seems to be delivering all that it is advertising on them *cough heists *cough

When that lamborghini came down from the bridge jump and didn't have almost any shock absorption, no vehicle dynamics, and just kept driving .... I turned it off. I'm already bored.

All the whining over framerates cracks me up. Everyone is a cynic.

If this game lives up to half the claims touted in the vid it will be EPIC!

I don't understand why almost all these promotional videos spend so much time explaining the increasingly uninteresting sounding setting at the beginning. Yes, ctOS, hacking, vigilante, corruption, blah blah blah the city is a playground/weapon, get it over with.

EDIT: I wish the frame rate was as sexy as those smoke effects. Hooray for PC gaming.

What the fuck is 792p or 900p? Why don't they just write out the resolution instead of weird number with a p at the end. I hope the PC version is somewhat optimized. Assassin's Creed 4 was kinda rough on PC.

Uh, what? That weird number is the common shorthand for resolution. It literally tells you almost everything you'd need to know about what res the game is running it.

I thought it was just the vertical count of pixels on screen and specifying between interlaced or progressive scan. Nothing uses interlacing anymore so why don't they just write out the resolution instead of saying 720p just write 1280x720 or whatever the actual resolution is. Oh and how do you know the horizontal res just from 792p?

I also think the one number for a screen width is dumb too because there are now two common wide screens and one non wide screen, so when some one says:

23inch that dosnet help. you have to give another piece of information anyway. ie 23inch 9:16

why not just give the width by height.
