A killer is staging the bodies of his victims all over Oakland like the infamous Zodiac Killer of the Sixties, and he’s taunting the police and news outlets with coded messages. Or you could just do what I do and turn it off, because I hate that stuff anyway and it’s not worth the stutters.An unwanted ghost of San Francisco’s past has resurfaced after fifty years. It’s abysmal, and desperately needs touching up. Like the console versions at release, the few times I’ve had someone invade my game I’ve seen stutters, outright two-second freezes, and drops down to 20-something frames per second. Unfortunately the “seamless” multiplayer doesn’t quite live up to its name. So yeah, it’s good…as long as you’re alone. It was a small moment, but with so many open-world games having static, plastic-looking foliage Watch Dogs 2 wowed me the tiniest bit.
My favorite so far came when I ran a motorcycle through a hedge and the hedge actually deformed and tore apart appropriately. I downloaded it and used it for all the tests above, but haven’t done much of an A/B texture comparison test.Īnd while I still don’t know if we’d say Watch Dogs 2 is visually up to par with those original Watch Dogs trailers from 2012, there are some nice technical flourishes in this game. Worth noting: Watch Dogs 2 mimics Shadow of Mordor with an optional 6GB texture pack for those wanting to run the game at full quality. There, I get a near-constant 55fps to 60fps even when raining, rising to 70+ in more sedate scenes.) (And needless to say, those numbers are even better if I dip to the still-respectable-looking Very High settings. In Watch Dogs 2 I’ve bombed through crowded Embarcadero traffic on the back of a crotch rocket and still never seen the frame rate drop below 40. Even last year’s Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate had tons of issues with texture pop-in at release, and there I was limited to the speed of the Victorian London’s fastest horse.
