Watch_Dogs 2 is back on Gamersyde
GSY Video PC PS4 Xbox One

Because we wanted to see how the PS4 Pro version of Watch_Dogs 2 could handle its framerate with an enhanced resolution, we put it to the test with the help of BlimBlim's plugin. As you'll see, though it depends on the location, there are a few drops here and there, as well as some tearing. In the third video, we focus on the driving aspect of the game, the problem being that the brakes are way too powerful and the steering is even more sensitive and exaggerated than in GTA V. Last but not least, we wanted to show you what the AI is capable of when you start to play with it a bit. It's always quite impressive to see non playable characters react in a somehow realistic way to what is happening.

Note: To record all the following videos, we set up the PS4 Pro at 4K but used our good old capture software in 1080p. What you'll see here is the game downsampled from 4K to 1080p by our capture card.

You'll have to wait until the embargo on reviews is lifted.

Is there a super sampling option for 1080?

On Pro if the console outputs 1080p the game is still rendered at a higher resolution, providing a better image quality (over the normal PS4) with super sampling.

The 1080p videos Davton made with the PS4 Pro are much less blurry than those I captured with the original PS4 (we have 2 of them in the other news article, check them out - download them).

Is there an abundance of N words in this game? Usually if the main character is black there's a lot of N words in the dialogue.

Watch dogs 1 you had the option to turn off dialogue. Is that also available in watch dogs 2?

you could technically be hacking the water system to build up pressure at the point you're targeting? maybe...still seems dumb.

No the characters aren't like that at all. It's not GTA V.
