The rollercoaster ride about the resolution and framerate of the upcoming Watch_Dogs has finally come to an end, as Ubsoft officially announced within a You must login or register to view this content. that the game will run at 900p on PS4, 792p on Xbox One, 30 frames per second on both consoles.
Creative Director Jonathan Morin explained the choice:
"Resolution is a number, just like framerate is a number. All those numbers are valid aspects of making games. But you make choices about the experience you want to deliver. In our case, dynamism is everything. Exploration and expression are everything. You want to have a steady framerate, but you want to have dynamism at the core of the experience. The same goes with resolution. People tend to look at corridor shooters, for example, where there’s a corridor and all the effects are on and it’s unbelievable, and they forget that if you apply those same global effects to an open city with people around and potential car crashes and guys in multiplayer showing up without warning, the same effect is applied to a lot of dynamic elements that are happening in every frame. So it becomes magnified in cost. "
At the very least, while the news might disappoint some for which those numbers are important, now the speculation can finally come to an end, and gamers can make an informed choice on which version of the game to purchase.
Personally, PC it is, but I never had any doubt about that. Feel free to share your own choice in the comments below.

Probably the case indeed! Microsoft didn't want to look like there console was all that bad.

Wow, Next gen… 30 FPS on 900p? haha Can’t stop laughing… God… I mean, you guys really thought consoles could run 1080p at 60 FPS ? yeah right.....900p @ 30fps?! Even 1080p at 60fps is looking a bit old in the tooth now. I’m running Elite Dangerous at 2556×1440 at 60fps on a fairly middling PC and that’s an unoptimised alpha version. Ultra HD is already here .So… should we mention PC Master Race?!?! Last recall.. most of us run games well over 60 fps…

To be honest, there is no doubt PC Gaming will always be better considering you can always put better parts in it. If you think about it though, this is really good for console games. This is a new revolution of console gaming, no need for your snide comment. Please refrain from doing that again. Thanks, Taylor. Anyway, back on topic, if you think about it if you want a good board and everything else in a box you need a good power supply. Console manufacturers want something quiet and generally small. That means they have limited things to work with. Thus, we should all be surprised and grateful for what they accomplished with nextgen gaming.
