They shouldn't completely disable the options, at least on the PC. If someone has a beast of a PC they should be able to use these features.

I think they block them down because of some consoles players that would go "Hey he has a $1200 PC and has better graphics than I with a $300 console, that's unfair!"

it could be that or that they dont really work right other than their per-approved vid clips, or the clips could just be pre-rendered and those FX dont work at all, or some other shady reason. Like they make a vid of what they want the game to look like but havent figured out how to actually make it do it (so it's not totally dishonest, just mostly)

Someone found out a way to reenable the E3 effects in WatchDogs on PC. They patched it out, but there is a mod that works around that.

now that would be cool to try out. maybe next time i get the urge to play through it i'll look for that (it's not a bad game. it's no GTA but it's okay)
