    Hey everybody it's Tuesday...

    Anyone bought last gen copies of Watch Dogs yet? How does the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions hold up? Do they look like garbage?

    I don't think any version of Watch Dogs looks that great, but here is some gameplay footage of the Xbox 360 version. He's doing a mission so possible spoilers, just click around and you should be fine. Latter half of the video has a lot of driving and what not.

    @mb: Boy, it sure doesn't look like what those leaked copies of the PC version look like. Textures look real flat and the lighting is just... non-existent?

    I found a video of what it looks like on PS3 and boy...

    is it really THAT surprising all things considered?

    and if the pc version seem crappy, dont forget, unlike on the consoles, there's usually graphical options and/or mods

    Err, I get the feeling they weren't played at the same brightness setting. There were a few places where the PS3 version missed some shadow and texture details, but for the most part I thought it didn't look noticeably worse, especially in the asset quality. Which I'd pin on the PS4 version looking somewhat underwhelming.

    I get that those versions are not the priority, but it looks like they downright turned the shadows off.

    Yeah, that guy in that first video has the brightness set WAY too high.

    I'm not a graphics nerd like some, but it looks fine on 360. Maybe a step below GTA V but I only played an hour so I haven't really explored much.
