I don’t really get the sharing stuff in the new consoles. The Playstatyion4, in particular, has button just for sharing videos and screenshots built right in to the controller. I’ve used it on occasion to test it out, but I’ve never felt compelled when actually playing a game to share the stuff I’ve just played. Maybe the cool stuff that happens in Watch Dogs will change that, but I doubt it.
That’s focus, at least, of this latest bit of Watch Dogs advertising. It’s a far-too-cheerful advert that rather heavily emphasises the PlayStation 4’s sharing capabilities. It’s also interesting to note that this trailer seems to be graphically quite a bit better than the recent one that kicked off speculation as to whether or not the game’s been visually downgraded.
Is this video nonsense? A video version of a bullshot? The easiest way for Ubisoft to put the matter to rest would be to actually just share some video using the share feature, straight from the console.
I have to admit that I’m not too concerned about whether or not Watch Dogs has been subject to a graphical downgrade since its E3 2012 reveal. From what I’ve seen of it up close and personal, it still looks fantastic. I’m still a little concerned about the actual gameplay; we’ve seen the same bits, over and over again and I’m not sure that alone is enough to carry the game. The recent story trailer has piqued my interest all over again though.
The PlayStation versions of the game will feature 60 minutes of extra story content when the game is released on May 27th this year.

I said the other day (much to the anger of twitter) that some odd things are happening with this game. It’s because of that I am not getting too excited. Still, if this is real footage looks good!

More sharing, more free DATA to farm.

It’s not free, you paid for the privilege of being farmed. I want to be farmed all night long.

You are speaking to OVG, so your wish is probably going to come true. Just bring a bottle of red…

I don’t use the Share button to share my videos, that’s retarded, but I do use it to save some video for my own enjoyment. This could range from a funny bug in BF4 to when I attempted taking on a squadron of the king’s ships with me at the helm and my jolly crew singing “What shall we do with a drunken sailor” in AC4. (I was a wee bit drunk at the time you see….)

Just do not use that as a excuse to force some halfhearted, half-coded, 5 timed outsource, always ON-DRM on us.

I think the sharing stuff really has a place more in multiplayer. Games like Battlefield are breeding grounds for amazing once in a lifetime moments that you really wanna show other people. I think thanks to stuff like this we are really gonna see a lot of great moments out there

I get that, was jamming a session Loadout over the weekend, and after the match, I was like “DID ANYONE SEE ME KICK ASS???” and wished I could re-watch my masterful experience. But alas…

I don’t think it makes much difference what you choose, I’ve almost always ended up with the best result. Unless all my luck has been reserved for this lol.
