Ubisoft has got Watch Dogs locked down harder than a hack happy whiz-kid on death row, but that hasn’t stopped the odd bit of footage from making its way online. While we’re sure that the French publisher will be eager to encrypt this clip before the day is over, it shows the sandbox escapade’s opening mission being played on a PlayStation 4. If you’re anything like us, you’ll probably want to avoid the video in fear of spoilers.
Still, we saw enough smartphones, sharp suits, and totally inconspicuous mouth scarves during our quick look to prove that this is legit. There are only a few days until the title officially deploys, so we’d recommend skipping over this if you’ve already made up your mind. If you do happen to watch the video, though, be sure to let us know whether this has boosted your interest levels – or caused you to lose connection with the urban adventure.
Update: What happens when editors are equally frightened of spoilers? We mess up. As pointed out in the comments section, this is actually Xbox 360 footage, as evidenced by the odd button prompt and achievement icon. Still, we suppose that this still has value if you want to see what the title's first mission looks like – just imagine it in 900p, and you're good to go. Rest assured, Sammy has been taken out the back and shot for this blunder. We apologise for the error.

This is the XBOX 360 VERSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You see the xbox trophy/acheivement notification pop up in the video !!! its clearly the 360 trophy emblem that pops up, after he beats the guy with his baton weapon
@Davros79 were at?
5mintues 30 seconds into the video. The XBOX 360 trophy notification pops up!!!!!!
the fact that it says press B to takedown and then an achievement pops up makes me think this isnt the ps4 version its xbox 360 lol
on the other hand it looks pretty good on last gen too.
stopped watching . Dont wanna spoil it for myself. Looks nice on the 360 though!! Bodes well for the ps4 version!!
Yeah, doesn't look like a ps4 title. If it were then it was a little bit too murky for me.
@TOMBOY25 @Davros79 @Davros79 Epic fail!
I've updated. I'm really sorry for the error - that's 100 per cent my fault, and a bit shoddy TBH.
@get2sammyb your mistake has actually intensified my anticipation for the game! Cos if it looks that nice on the 360, then the ps4 version will look great! Cheers sammy.
Why would we want to imagine it in 1080p when it's running in 900p on PS4?
@Davros79 You've saved my blushes, sir!
@Scollurio ARGH - and now they're back! Changed.
@get2sammyb Don't worry, man. Usually, you guys do such a thorough job at being good that it's just proper to mess up once in a while...y'know...just to make the other sites out there feel a little bit better about themselves.
Being confused with old vs current gen. Being happy with last gens performance.
Really does show the diminishing returns in graphical/hardware performance. I do think if Nintendo had secured solid 3rd party this gen the 'weakness' of its hardware would not have been an issue. Of course, the ps4 would still be the go-to for its power packed first party games.
@get2sammyb
@get2sammyb Change the title to PS3 and you are good to go!
@eLarkos Oh there is a BIG difference between PS3 and PS4 editions. Especially the framerate. And tearing. And less NPC's. And textures. And AI. And the water. And the multiplayer. And the missing free roam mode...
@memoryman3 Yea I was just referring to the graphical update from last to current gen. AI, framerates etc etc have all improved and by no means was I trying to say a ps4 isnt a worthy update.
Aside from the disappointment that this isn't PS4 footage, I liked what I saw, storywise. Kind of cliche but presented well and the voice acting seems really good. Still not nearly as hyped as I once was but I am looking forward to getting this.
Can't bring myself to even peek. I'm hoping amazon sends it to us early!
Yay I've pre-ordered this!! I started watching the video, thought it was pretty on 360 so switched it off don't want to ruin it!! Hopefully it's gonna be amazing on PS4!!! Yay
Ok so it looks good, but i wanna see this on PS3, because id rather have it on that since i dont have a PS4, can someone send me a link to a PS3 version of it?
