Ubisoft verklaart oude grafische files in Watch Dogs

Afgelopen week waren modders er achter gekomen dat er in de PC versie van Watchdogs een aantal instellingen te vinden waren die de game stukken mooier maakte. Ironisch hadden deze te maken met de E3 demo van enkele jaren geleden, want sommige files hadden aan beginsel E3. Ubisoft heeft nu in een verklaring laten weten dat dit oudere files zijn *DUH* en dat deze het spel onstabiel maken als er aan gerommeld wordt. Tja...


The dev team is completely dedicated to getting the most out of each platform, so the notion that we would actively downgrade quality is contrary to everything we've set out to achieve. We test and optimize our games for each platform on which they're released, striving for the best possible quality. The PC version does indeed contain some old, unused render settings that were deactivated for a variety of reasons, including possible impacts on visual fidelity, stability, performance and overall gameplay quality. Modders are usually creative and passionate players, and while we appreciate their enthusiasm, the mod in question (which uses those old settings) subjectively enhances the game's visual fidelity in certain situations but also can have various negative impacts. Those could range from performance issues, to difficulty in reading the environment in order to appreciate the gameplay, to potentially making the game less enjoyable or even unstable.

Thanks for playing Watch Dogs and stay safe on the mean streets of Chicago.

-The Watch Dogs Team
