Watch Dogs

Woohoo!

That's certainly the easy way to go, although I think the PS4 is going to need a little more attention to really get the most out of it. Straight PC ports will run, but they won't really be optimized. That might be why Watch Dogs wasn't as impressive as some of the other stuff shown on the system.

The idea of game development starting on high-spec PCs before being transferred over to console hardware is an interesting set-up that is becoming more popular as the similarities between the two formats become progressively closer on a technical level. The use of scalable game engines and x86 hardware in both next-gen consoles and PC allows developers to target top-of-the-line systems to push real-time 3D graphics rendering further than before, and they then have the ability to customise visual quality when engineering the game to run on console hardware - a route that many next-gen multi-platform developers are actively going down in order to provide a smoother cross-platform development experience.

Square Enix's Tetsuya Nomura summed up this approach succinctly in discussing how Final Fantasy XV development was rebooted. "We're developing on DirectX 11, not based on the PS4 or the Xbox One," he said recently. "This lets us develop full-spec without worrying about individual platforms, then port it to each console in the most appropriate way. As a result, the original Final Fantasy 15 runs on a pretty high-spec PC, and how close a console gets to this original depends on its specs."

To begin with at least then, despite the clear hardware advantages enjoyed by the PlayStation 4 - its unified GDDR5 set-up for example - we should be prepared for differences between PC and console titles which may not necessarily result in superior console versions. In the case of Watch Dogs, the switch to PS4 hardware means a few drawbacks compared to year-old PC code, but in spite of this it's clear that the core experience remains intact, and obviously a cut-above the capabilities of current-gen hardware.

Master Race, suPCority, Heil der Computer, etc.

No one cares.

Man, I was hoping for real news.

"suPCority" doesn't work at all either. Stop trying to make it a thing people use.

Fetch is never gonna happen, let it go.

SuPCority is awful, that really needs to stop. I feel dirty just typing it.

Delayed til next spring. lololol
