Every so often, a new IP will emerge that enthralls the gaming community, lighting the touch-paper of our intrigue, wonder, and, crucially, imagination. Notable previous examples include Assassin’s Creed, Brink, and of course the all-engrossing Minecraft. Not only are such titles worthy of interest due to their gaming potential, but also to see whether they continue on to commercial success. Titles such as Assassin’s Creed and Minecraft have indeed been deemed worthy of the hype, rising to the dizzying heights of multi-million dollar franchises. Others, such as Brink, become little more than a memory of an over-blown exercise in mediocrity and failed promises. Now, it is the turn of Ubisoft’s open world techno-manipulating Watch_Dogs to ride the waves of hype, hope and exposure, but what exactly is it that has caused Watch_Dogs to rise to its grandiose position in the gaming world?
If you are looking for a bargain, check out the huge discounts across the entire WatchDogs series on Steam.
With the world of information and technology, privacy and security growing every day, Watch Dogs deserves another chance in the spotlight, now more than ever.
The only Ubi title that deserves a faithful remake right now is Splinter Cell 1.
All 2014+ Ubi titles are just underwhelming. Especially ones from 2016+ are just cancer.
The fist watchdog game was the best by far
After that they weren't weird and annoying with that hipster stuff. Aiden was a badass.
From VG247: "When cars slide, they leave tyre marks. In a game like Driver, they’re an aesthetic touch, part of the inherent cool of a handbrake turn. But those dark shadows in the road also tell a story. From tyre marks, you can determine the speed of a vehicle, when it started to skid, and its ultimate direction of travel – long after the car itself has vanished into the distance."
Why did they stop making some of the best games ever? Driver was one of them.
A story driven game with pure driving gameplay. I'd love to see a new Driver game or a remake of the first one.
Hey nice write up! Enjoyed reading it, it was well written. I also am very excited for this game, it looks absolutely stunning. It looks so unique, so new and different, which is remarkably hard to do these days yet they found a way. So excited for it.
Game sounds really good, I just wish they would release some more gameplay videos..
I loved the little info we have seen about this game....
Its different and l like the environments( so far)
I think it will be a change from GTA..
Oddly I've never completed a GTA game...Not sure why....
Looking forward to this on the PS4..
