Watch_Dogs to Run at 900p On PS4 and 792p on Xbox One – Both at 30FPS

Heads up people wanting to purchase Watch_Dogs on consoles; the Ubisoft blog have just made available some interesting information about the game, including a very noteworthy part about the resolution of the game in both the Xbox One and the PS4.

Here’s an excerpt of the article noting these details.

The game also looks great on both generations of consoles. On new-gen systems the game will run at 900p on PS4 and 792p on Xbox One, at 30 frames-per-second on both consoles. While some new-gen games now offer native 1080p, Morin says it’s much more important to deliver an amazing next-gen experience than it is to push a few more pixels onto a screen.

“Resolution is a number, just like framerate is a number. All those numbers are valid aspects of making games,” he says. “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.”

There you have it.

It seems that Sony might have made a typo when they had previously stated that Watch_Dogs was going to run at 1080p at 60FPS on the PlayStation 4.
