Watch Dogs
if you're like me and didn't see the Ubisoft E3 stuff, czech it. Looks great, only thing that really "stood out" for me along with Beyond and South Park that I've seen so far.

Industry people are saying they're sure this isn't PS3/360 and will be next gen. I'm torn, I would expect a bigger jump for that and this may just be a PC version they're showing off.
As for the game though, looks phenomenal. |
Dunno, never thought once while watching it, that it looked too good to be current gen.
|
I don't think it's next gen and hope it isn't. The graphics looked similar to Beyond to me.
Supposedly Ubisoft confirmed it's for PS3/360/PC. I say supposedly because I saw it on Wikipedia. |
Wow, this looks fantastic.
Didn't think it looked next gen. Just a really nice usage of current gen. |
|
This looks fucking awesome
|
Yeah. I was watching it today and it looked amazing. Could have sworn the guy was using a PS3 controller to do the demo.
I'll grab it, no doubt about it. But, you guys ever watch that new show Person of Interest? Kinda reminded me of that. |
Watch Dogs (stylized as WATCH_DOGS ) is an upcoming cyberpunk-themed stealth science fiction open world third-person action-adventure video game
quite a mouthful, and yeah this looks pretty rad |
I love the detail more than anything.
|
I love the differences between regions.
|
This looks lovely. I can't wait to play the watered down current gen console version we'll no doubt get. :(

It's not really a gimmick so much as him being a complete idiot.

I'd say it's better than never voicing a real opinion, but I'm sure you disagree with that notion.

Reqtum runs Skyrim on an Apple 2C.
|
What does that even mean? What are you even making fun of? Second time you've made a comment like that and it makes no more sense than the first time. In any context. Is it just so you can have a private laugh when it goes over my head so you can pat yourself on the back at how clever you are?
|
Ubisoft backtracking on rumors and hints of this game appearing on current gen consoles and instead might have accidentally leaked out when the next Xbox and/or PS4 arrives with the 2013 date.

Love that its set in Chicago, but I live there so I'm a tad biased.
Hope I can burn down my office building. |
Ubisoft already considering selling the rights to make a movie based on the game just from the reaction gained from the E3 debut.
http://www.screwattack.com/news/ubis...tch-dogs-movie |
What could possibly go wrong with that?
|
I think Ubisoft went a little too much with the whole idea of everything being hackable and visible since it was revealed during a promotion, the company accidentally leaked out everyone's email who joined.

Some promotional stuff was recently leaked leading to the current speculation of Ubisoft might be including the Wii U and next gen consoles for the game when its launched later this year.
So far only the PS3, PC, and Xbox 360 have been confirmed while the Wii U was only rumored to be getting the game. http://d1vr6n66ssr06c.cloudfront.net...013/02/011.jpg http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...home-consoles/ |
I was trying to remember the name of this the other day. Looking forward to it.
|
Wii U version should be getting confirmed soon now that big name retailers are adding the Wii U for their pre-order and purchase web pages. Also only started to be added in once the promotional stuff started to appear online and/or those stores started to receive them.
http://www.destructoid.com/various-r...u-245926.phtml |
Ubisoft officially confirmed the game will arrive on the Wii U, PS4, and next Xbox. The announcement was made shortly after the game was announced for the PS4 during Sony's announcement show.

According to Ubisoft, even though this game was originally announced for current gen consoles first, the game was actually developed for next gen consoles before they decided to also make it for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Also tease the PC version is the superior version since it acts as the bridge between gens and as the main platform the game is being developed on. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...onsoles-first/ In regards to the Wii U version, they are still tinkering on what to do with the Gamepad for features. |
Developing for PC and porting to consoles is the way to do it right, good for them. I might now pick this up on a Steam sale or something.
|
Every game will now probably be developed for DirectX/OpenGL on PC and ported over now since the consoles are so close to it anyway. Even then, they still might not bother releasing the PC version.
|
Fuck'em then.

Graphics look great!
|
Totally going after work tomorrow to pre-order.
|
Yeah, might wait to pick this up on PS4.

Ubisoft recently announced two retailer specific pre-order bonuses for the game:

Limited Edition was revealed during Comic Con recently.
Costs around $130 and includes special edition box, an official soundtrack CD, 9'' statue of the main character, an art book, Pierce’s vigilante mask, and a special steelbook case. http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/...se-610x357.jpg http://www.screwattack.com/news/ubis...imited-edition In terms of sales, Ubisoft is expecting around 6 million copies to be sold. http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=207814 |
Normally I'd jump on stuff like this. But these days, for first time in like.....ever, I'm on a budget.
|
Ubisoft released a new trailer focusing mainly on the actual hacking aspect of the game. According to the trailer, there are about 75 unique hacking ways in the game.
The trailer is also part of a series of trailers that will each cover a different aspect of the game with the next focusing on the game's Chicago setting. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/aYp5ssq1FlM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...eplay-trailer/ |
For those interested in the PS4 and Xbox One version, the creative director for the game stated it will only run in 30 fps and haven't decided what its native resolution will be.

Now delayed until 2014.
|
Don't mind really, I have too many games to play and I haven't even got round to picking up GTA V yet.
|
Best Buy fucked over my buddy. Had the Watch Dogs PS4 bundle pre-ordered. And with today's news, they canceled his pre-order. In a bit of good news, they gave him a $75 "we're sorry" credit.
|
Looked liked it needed a bit more time in some of the previews, so not shocked.

May 27th launch date. About a month early. Here's a new story trailer to go along with the announcement. |
For those interested in the Wii U version, Ubisoft still has it planned for a 2014 release although the senior producer and creative director revealed why it got delayed in the first place.

Online multiplayer supports up to 8 players for free roam matches/sessions.
Also hinted the game's multiplayer features were one of the main reasons for the game's delays. http://www.destructoid.com/watch-dog...y-271624.phtml |
Ubisoft getting a lot of criticism over the terrible looking graphics in the in-game trailer for the consoles from yesterday compared to the demo shown so far. What were people expecting though? That demo was run on a high end PC and everyone does this!
|
Beta rumored to be occurring at least on the Xbox One before its launch.

For those interested in the PC version, Ubisoft recently revealed the specs needed.

I'm not holding my breath on this one.
It looks good, got a nice atmosphere, and some interesting gameplay mechanics. However, getting pretty tired of these flimsy plot lines of "I did some bad stuff with my amazing skills and now people I love are dead, lets go get some revenge!" But hey, looks like a fun game I can dick around in and hit folks with cars, so there's that! |
Ok CSL I will watch you play Dogs give me a link

Seems all over the place, tbh. |
Kinda wish they didn't bother with multiplayer. Put that time and development into the singleplayer.

Ya, I saw this. Absolutely ridiculous! Anyway I will gladly buy a copy for cheap off someone who got it for free with their Nvidia GPU. Yaay cheap PC games!

Quote:
Lol come on, so much for the next generation consoles. My laptop can play this game at 1080p, 60 fps. Also what the fuck is 792p? |
Graphics aren't the most important factor for me, this does not bother me and still a day 1 buy for sure.
|
I am with you on graphics, but I can't stand 30 fps on games like this.
|
Won a free copy from a social media giveaway :D
Anyone else already got the game pre-ordered? |
paid off and ready to play, like I told Kalyx, I didn't read too much into the game. I liked the flashy debut video of it and Ubisoft has been hitting it out of the park with AC:IV and FarCry3.
This is more of a loyalty purchase, with a chance of actually liking the game |
Quote:
|
WTF
This comes out AFTER the 3 day holiday in which I take Friday off for a 4 day! |
Ya, it will release 11 pm on Monday for me so it's a big bummer there. Steam doesn't have preloading up yet either :mad:
|
Quote:
|
I hate Uplay so much! They just confirmed no preloading even if the game was bought on Steam. Almost tempts me to get the torrents for the game. Plenty of people have already finished the game by now.
|
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ZE6OnFKxdi4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
For some reason this makes me want it, doesn't look very next gen though. |
What did you expect though? It is 900p on the PS4 which when upscaled to a standard 1080p TV will look worse than if it was a 900p monitor. That weird 792p resolution on the Xbone will be even worse!
|
I did not know that, explains a lot.
|
For those who like to go the torrent route:

Ya, the main verified torrent was clean. Can't blame the seeders for trying to profit off this though!

Picked this up and played for a bit. It's fun. Controls are a bit confusing, but over time they'll come natural.
As like most Ubisoft games, car handling sucks. |
The city is pretty great, better than any sandbox game I have played. I won't go a whole lot further till Ubisoft patches the PC version though, stupid bugs and video ram memory leaks everywhere.
|
Car handling isn't as bad as the majority are making it out to be. It's definitely not great, but some people are acting like it breaks the game, when it totally doesn't.
Loving this so far. Ubisoft have pretty much mastered the open world stealth game at this point. So fun, and so much to do. |
The car physics are more realistic than most games out there, probably why people are bitching about it. No sudden response to turns or anything.
I am so glad my GPUs have 3 gigs of VRAM, those ultra textures look soooooo good! |
Music question. Do you classify the band Chicago as Pop or Rock?
I've always thought of them as a rock band. Yet Ubisoft has the gall to put them in the pop category in the music playlist. Legit pissed at this. Side note: Conversations with Jordi have me laughing. |
|
|
There is a pretty awesome easter egg in the intrusion mini game.
|
I need clarification, are real people jumping into my game to steal my shit? I've had two of those events kick off and both of them didn't shoot me when I found them. I shot one up in his car like he was 50 cent and the other I found jacking off by a fence and he came and started running. The gamer tag and post screen looked legit. I don't know if this bs is going to occur again while I'm trying to progress in story
|
Fuck, posted too late, I'll check in the morning and see if a fellow Watch_Doge replies or not
|
Yeah, they are other players, besides the mandatory one that you do as a single player mission. You can turn it off by going into the online section of options.
|
Sweet, I didn't mind it much. I just want to finish the campaign then I'll entertain these guys
|
lol I remember when the in-game prompt came in asking me to hack someone else's game only for the game to realize Uplay was down as always.
|
Only barely scratched the surface of this because I gave it a try my last visit to the nearly next-door game shop. PS4 version.
So far, I can say it's very easy to just pick up and play w/o needing tutorials or anything. Always nice to see entry-level accessibility with any game these days. Too many that just seem to rely on hand-holding tutorial missions/sections when they should just let people mostly figure stuff out on their own. Have gotten through one whole story mission, the rest of my time was spent eluding cops, exploring the city in-car/on-foot, screwing around with interacting with traffic lights and other things, intervening in crimes in progress, profiling people with the in-game smartphone app thing the guy has and occasionally hacking people's phones to get their $ and add it to my account @ the nearest ATM. It's safe to say I'm not nearly through yet. |
So, anybody here get their online trophies yet?
|
Not yet, but I'm about to work on them in the next few days.
Having trouble with traced? |
Ubisoft states a patch is on its way meant to fix several gameplay issues with the bulk being PC fixes. It will also be arriving at different dates depending on the platform.
Quote:
|
A mini patch for the PC came in today and it just ended up overwriting a great graphics mod I had got from a Guru3D user. For all I am concerned, the patch just made it worse.
|
PS4 patch dropped yesterday unless they had another one today.
|
They need to patch those stupid fucking drinking games though. Those things are ridiculous to the nth.
|
Practice makes perfect. Once you get the patterns down, it'll come natural.
|
Beat and platinum'd this.
Story could have been a lot better. Should have taken that extra time to improve on it. |
