The new video discusses the Nvidia technologies used in the PC version that creates the most vivid and breathtaking Chicago possible…

“During the last years of development we have worked closely with Nvidia in order to create the most vivid and breathtaking Chicago for the PC version of Watch Dogs,” said Lassi.

“One of the technologies that allowed us to achieve this level of quality is an Nvidia technique called HBAO+, which stands for Horizon Based Ambient Occlusion.

“HBAO + improves on existing AO techniques to add richer, more detailed, and realistic shadows around objects that protrude rays of light. HBAO+ is faster, more efficient and significantly better compared to previous techniques.”


Watch Dogs launches worldwide on May 27, for PC, PS4, PS3, Xbox One and Xbox 360, with a Wii U version expected at some point.

What do you think the latest graphical bells and whistles shown in Watch Dogs?

Is is living up to how you’d hoped it would look?
