A comparison video comparing the initial PC release of Watch Dogs with yesterday’s E3 2012 mod has appeared online, highlighting the differences the new effects can make to the overall look of the game.

The mod is believed to activate effects disabled in the initial release but hidden deep inside the game’s files, including improved lighting and enhanced depth of field.

You can see from the video how much of a difference the improved effects make to the game’s looks, with shadows now cast from headlights and improved depth of field making for an appealing, softer look to objects in the distance.

Instructions on how to download and install the mod can be found over on Guru3D.
