Watch_Dogs

Yes, it was presented at E3. Yes it looks amazing IMO. Found it very intriguing from only the intro video, and was just consistently elevated throughout the demo:

In an unprecedented move this year, Ubisoft announced a new IP, Watch_Dogs. And it looks sick.Watch_Dogs is a game about hackers. You control the area around you to cause havoc, allowing you to either sneak around while guards are busy, or use distractions during shootouts in progress. Your hacking abilities also gives you the power of information, letting you know dark secrets about everyone you meet, including criminal records and diseases. No consoles or release dates were mentioned.

Watch_Dogs - PS4 Gameplay Premiere


Watch_Dogs - Exposed


Watch_Dogs - E3 Walkthrough Demo

My friend told me to watch the trailer for this, I thought he meant Sleeping Dogs, saw that trailer and was amazed.

This looks very very awesome, it is very similar to Person of Interest (TV show), which is fucking amazing and the fact a game has a sorta similiar story/world setting is amazing.

The trailer was very well put together too.

Looks awesome.

Holy shit I want to play this.

This looks very awesome.

First thing that came to my mind too (tho, this one is set in Boston, where PoI is in, *sigh*, NYC).

Yes but to a foreigner like me, I won't really be able to tell that much of a difference, aside from like landmarks and yellow taxis etc.

I cannot wait for more details on this!

Right down to (one of) the main character's use of raspy-voice-dude

WD must be what would happen if GTA4 raped a hooker made of Splinter Cell who was then given as sloppy seconds to Desmond (wait, this game has AC/SC climbing around type shit, right?)

After Assassin's Creed 3, I feel like there's way too much of a chance of this game being a massive hand-holding session. AC3's actual gameplay just felt like ubisoft stopped caring about it being interesting and threw it in there to cement the story together. I can see this game following that same style. Start mission at a scripted point, follow this path, hack that camera, follow a certain individual without being spotted (oh you fucked up? lets just revert to checkpoint and try again), kill him, and then run away from the cops down a predetermined alley and jump onto the train that just so happens to be going by at this very moment.

I bought AC3 for the story. It feels like I droned through AC3, abusing the fast travel just to see what happened in the story. Could have saved myself 60 bucks and looked it up on youtube. Watch Dogs looks good, but there's no way in hell I'm getting this until I see some actual gameplay footage that isnt a trailer. I feel like there's a serious problem when I see a game and say "Oh boy the story looks great" while feeling absolutely nothing about the gameplay itself.

E: Conversely, Metro: Last Light has me regularly changing my pants, because I almost don't even care what the story is. The game itself looks engrossing to the point where I could play it through multiple times, and be surprised by the scenarios, not the story (but maybe the story too!).
