Nvidia has just released the new GameWorks trailer for Watch Dogs 2 PC, which is expected to launch on 29 November. The PC release follows the game's debut last week on PS4 and Xbox One.
Describing the gameplay features and new graphics enhancements added into the Watch Dogs sequel, Nvidia had this to say on its official GeForce site:
"Featuring a stylized, digital recreation of San Francisco, the game boasts plenty to see and do, and on PC its incredible amount of content will be rendered at a significantly higher level of detail, and be enhanced by NVIDIA GameWorks visual effects.
"Having worked closely with Ubisoft throughout Watch Dogs 2's development, we've had the opportunity to integrate HBAO+ for richer, more realistic Ambient Occlusion contact shadowing; PCSS and HFTS for vastly improved character, object and world shadowing; TXAA for improved anti-aliasing and the addition of temporal anti-aliasing; SLI for increased performance on Multi-GPU systems; Surround for immersive triple-screen gaming; and NVIDIA Ansel, an in-game tool that enables you to capture unique screenshots in Super Resolution, Stereo, 360° Virtual Reality, and 360° Stereo formats."
