gaggle64 Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 This was completely unexpected and it looks just utterly fantastic. Like the madly attractive lovechild from a saucy & sophisticated one-nighter between Assassin's Creed & Deus Ex. Can't wait to see more of this, best of show so far.
The Peeps Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 It looks so good! The concept is really interesting and the graphics are incredible!
Magnus Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 I was listening to people watching the Ubisoft conference in the chat room, and this was the one game I was interested in seeing the video of. Surely that should be Watchdogs and not Watch Dogs, though? When people started talking about a game called Watch Dogs in the chat room, I thought it was some cheap Nintendogs rip-off. Maybe it's just me. :p
dwarf Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 I share Falcon's (?) trepidation; it's a feast on the eyes but it's hard to say to what degree it was choreographed. All of the live demos have been of course, but the organic quality of the traffic light scenario was almost convincing. The gameplay was seamless, which is what counts I guess.
Aimless Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 So, I guess this is our first glimpse of next-gen. By which I don't mean Wii U, even if the GamePad would be appropriate in this case.
Jamba Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 It's all a bit hard to tell isn't it? The game looked insane although I can see a lot of those set piece bit going wrong most of the time.
Ellmeister Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 I did think the same as Jamba, I can see the timing of lifting that bridge going awry too many times and me just landing in water/ the cops following behind me. It does look pretty frickin' sweet though! Very Deux Ex/ GTA styled to me. I wonder what other abilities he has/ how he does it.
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Wow. That looks incredible. The traffic light scene was just fantastic. The title of it seems a bit strange. Just makes me think of the BBC.
Cookyman Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Wow. That looks incredible. The traffic light scene was just fantastic. The title of it seems a bit strange. Just makes me think of the BBC. Don't worry she's in the DLC. Last Of Us and this look like likely contendors for the game of the show.
Murr Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Complete surprise this game. Very pleasent one though. Looks like it could be a lot of fun too of it's a truly open world/ sandbox game. Just going and hacking what you please. Will be following this one for sure!
Agent Gibbs Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Holy Crap that is gorgeous, best Game of E3 right there
Jamba Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Holy Crap that is gorgeous, best Game of E3 right there WHAT?! You mean you don't trust in Pikmin stealing the show?! You are dead to me.
Agent Gibbs Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 WHAT?! You mean you don't trust in Pikmin stealing the show?! You are dead to me. Hmm good point, how about i revise that to Best game of E3....so far
Rowan Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Looks immense! Easily the game I'm now looking forward to the most
flameboy Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 It's since been confirmed that this was playing on PC but they are insisting it's a PS3/360 game.
James McGeachie Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Exactly the type of game that WOULD have sold the Wii U, using the type of gadgets this game has on the screen. But, currently unannounced for it. I wonder if the Wii U can run it. Anyway, looks great of course.
Debug Mode Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Exactly the type of game that WOULD have sold the Wii U, using the type of gadgets this game has on the screen. But, currently unannounced for it. I wonder if the Wii U can run it. Anyway, looks great of course. The console versions as they are will be extremely gimped. That demo was running on what I imagine to be a very high specification PC (which was apparently confirmed). No release date sort of reinforces the idea this wont actually come to PS3 and 360 for me though, I would not be surprised if this is a next-gen launch title. It would be a fucking amazing showcase as well.
LegoMan1031 Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Well that looks pretty awesome! Defiantly one to keep an eye on.
retrotowers Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Watch dogs truly looks epic. I didn't think E3 was very good this year for microsoft nintendo or sony, but this game blew me away its like a GTA game but more extreme.
Dante Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Ubisoft explains Watch Dogs' iPad tablet features Ubisoft has shed some light on the mysterious tablet features in Watch Dogs, the game that has swiftly become one of E3's major talking points. The behind closed doors demo for Watch Dogs repeated the mission from Ubi's conference. Once again we followed cyberpunk protagonist Aidan Pierce as he infiltrated a futuristic exhibition at a theatre, met with his contact, and then hunted down his target - a man by the name of Joseph DeMarco. This time, however, the demo concluded with a demonstration of a real-time iPad app that supports a kind of meta-game - much in the manner of Microsoft's Xbox SmartGlass. Here players were presented with a wireframe map of futuristic Chicago, drawn in a similar style to the one that used in the press conference demo. The map can be scrolled and zoomed, with pop-up boxes and icons providing real-time information about the game in progress. "As we said, everything is connected - and we've extended that to mobile devices," said the Ubisoft demonstrator. "We have Chicago in the palm of your hand. Everything that you've seen in the game will be accessible, so different shops - pharmacies, gun shops - will also be available here. You can see everything. "Remember the theatre that we saw? You can go and check the details, what the layout is, so that you can plan your mission. You can also get information about the organisers - facts about DeMarco." But it's not just NPCs who fall under the app's scrutiny. Other human players will also find that their details have been uploaded to the CTOS - the American information network in Watch Dogs' cyberpunk future. "You can monitor bad guys, and you can also monitor your friends. That way you can see your friends in real time - what they are doing, and how they did it. You can access their mission log and prepare yourself in the same way." During the course of the main demo, Pierce took the time to 'profile' a female NPC - scanning her and then adding her details to the CTOS. This meant that new data was added to the tablet app - information that wouldn't have been there otherwise. And according the Ubisoft demonstrator, this kind of action will have a significant impact on the overall game. "The more you know about CTOS, the more power you going to unlock. And the more power you unlock in different districts, the more competitive you will be. That way your friends will never be the same thing, and sometimes you're going to be able to help them, or sometimes you're going to be able to challenge them."
Cube Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 You know, there might be a console focused around aspects like that somewhere.
Agent Gibbs Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 If this doesn't come to WiiU I'd be absolutely amazed, its made for the console! and since it will produce better graphics than the PS3 and 360 Watchdog is intended to come to (in a stripped down form from the High end PC demo) it would be a travesty to port it to them and ignore the better console that incorporates the tablet features
Diageo Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Wasn't the E3 demo of Battlefield 3 playing on a PC and it still came out fine on the other consoles? I didn't see any sort of graphic overhaul that is completely out of the reach of the PS3.
