it would be cool if the exclusive content included the ability to dress up the character as the Delsin from Infamous, beanie would be a cool little touch for fans of both games

GraveLord3694d ago

What's wrong with you? Did your parents not teach you any manners?

OpieWinston3694d ago

No my dad taught me that anyone who wears a beanie and walks around like he's cool is a dirty hippy.

Now that would just make the PS4 the WORST place to play Watch Dogs if that was even an option. This game isn't designed to be a "Joke".

Internet doesn't have manners.

minimur123694d ago

it's just Driveclubs turn now....

aLucidMind3693d ago

Sounds like your father doesn't know what he's talking about. What you wear doesn't determine whether or not you should be disliked, your general attitude does. Only an idiot would base their opinion on a hat.

MetaReapre3693d ago (Edited 3693d ago )

The internet doesn't have manners because its not an living thing.

The people using the internet to communicate can very well have manners, and you should learn some.

Scum of the earth like yourself shouldn't have a voice though, it would save those that have common decency and well behavior a head ache.

As for Sinncross's thoughts I agree it would be pretty cool. Ultimately, I probably wouldn't use it but it's an interesting idea.

If you intend on playing this game you should be old enough that you don't dress dolls anymore, the rest of us grew out of that many decades ago.....

Although some weird folk still like to occasionally slip on the odd dress or 2 on the weekend...

On a serious note though, no. I don't want to dress people up in video games - that's what caused the creation of paid DLC in the first place & the reason for the collapse of gaming. If you want to dress someone up go buy 'Barbies Fashion Catwalk' or something...

MetaReapre3693d ago

Actually what caused the creation of paid dlc was greedy companies. Alternative costumes used to be something you could unlock through playing the game.

Greedy companies saw that rich people would pay to unlock everything in the game if they could so that's why alternative costumes and the like became paid dlc.

zeuanimals3693d ago (Edited 3693d ago )

Really? I dressed up my guy in Dark Souls like a badass motherfucker. I did that in Skyrim too, with mods. I also did that in MGS2-4 to blend in and all of the Hitman games too.

I'm also pretty sure this big game from last year let you dress up your character(s) too. I think it was called GTAV.

"Dressing up" your characters didn't create DLC. DLC's been around for a long time, back then they were called expansion packs because you had to buy them on disc but they weren't new games, they only added to old ones. Diablo II without the expansion packs was nowhere near the phenomena it is with the expansion packs. Shivering Isles, one of the earlier DLCs is also highly regarded as one of the best DLCs/expansion packs ever.

Don't complain about DLC because not all DLC are bad. Complain about bad DLC or better yet, don't spend money on bad DLC.

SonyNGP3694d ago

You mean the same exclusive content that were also in other Ubisoft games, but were in PC anyway? That's rad.

theshredded3694d ago

Watch Dogs is Beast!Ubi are the best 3rd party publishers no contest

quenomamen3693d ago

Respawn might take issue with that, lol
Old engine using, COD rehashing hacks.

trikster403693d ago

Publisher, not developer. There's a difference. I'd probably have to agree, I've bought a lot of Ubi games lately. Smart move picking up South Park, loving that game.

PrinceOfAllSaiyans3694d ago

Is it me or does visually it doesn't look as good as it did in that 15 minutes of PS4 footage from a while back ? Oh well the game will still be amazing and still day 1 for me. Now to decide if I will get the standard edition or limited edition for 130 dollars.

curtis923694d ago

I think it's probably more so that you're getting used to next gen graphics. What was impressive a year or so ago is slowly becoming more the norm than it was

Agent20093694d ago

The recent leaked footage is most probably from the Xbox 360 version.

psman0123694d ago

I think that's partially it. I am still amazed by next gen (or should I say, current gen) visuals. It will only get better as developers continue to squeeze the power out of these systems. For example, Heavenly Sword vs. The Last of Us.

StoneyYoshi3693d ago

I think they changed the lighting system. Just the lighting alone can make a game look completely different.

Harmy6663692d ago

I've been hearing that the recent trailer was using last gen consoles. That my be the reason, either that or Ubi have downgraded the game since we last saw it, hope not tho.

heisenberguk3693d ago

there's a few mins of PS4 gameplay at gamespot that didn't look much better

Watch Dogs Deserves A Remake, More Than Ever

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.

RaidenBlack992d ago

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.

LucasRuinedChildhood992d ago (Edited 992d ago )

Seriously, are we so far removed from Ubisoft actually making good games that people now praise Watch_Dogs in retrospect?

"Watch_Dogs has remained one of my favourite games of the last ten years." Jesus Christ.

HankHill992d ago

I remember being so disappointed in Watch Dogs when I played it at release. It was alright, but I think I fell for the hype and I needed a game to play on my new PS4.

obidanshinobi992d ago

This is what happens when mediocrity gets praised as good.
Standards are slipping across the whole entertainment industry.
What was once considering rubbish is now considered as OK, what once was OK is now being praised as good etc etc.

LamerTamer992d ago

Everyone has their own likes. I liked it a lot myself. I played through it twice and liked the car chases and the open world with fairly decent environments and missions. It suffered from the whole downgrade thing where they showed graphics that weren't actually there. No game will appeal to everyone but it was still ambitious for it's time.

gantarat992d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee992d ago

For certain! AC1 was brilliant at the time but with new graphics and gameplay it would be amazing! Do you prefer old combat or new though?

RaidenBlack992d ago

I'd say a reimagining of AC1.
I direct AC1 remake would be a bad idea. It'll need better story pacing and significant better world building.

BlaqMagiq1992d ago

Old. Let it play like how it did with AC2-Syndicate style gameplay but refine the setting and story.

Profchaos992d ago

It would need a lot changed for it to be enjoyable again as even back in 2007 on launch we were all complaining about it's repetitive gameplay go here perform one of three side quests repeat then assassination now do it over and over until a big battle with a unforgiving checkpoint system.

BlaqMagiq1992d ago

Absolutely. It needs it. The only AC I truly didn't enjoy.

chicken_in_the_corn992d ago

I'd prefer it didn't. Ubisoft would make it so bloated, it wouldn't be anywhere near the original

smolinsk992d ago (Edited 992d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos992d ago (Edited 992d ago )

As a fan of the franchise legion was garbage and I regretted my purchase for the first time in the franchise the entire thing felt like an experiment in NPC behaviour and released without the writers input on what makes a good story.

I don't think I'm alone in that feeling though as wrench and Aiden are brought back and the campaign was rewritten to fit them.

I am tempted to buy the season pass to play it again with Aiden but fool me twice shame on me I'm waiting for a deep sale

camel_toad992d ago

Agreed. Despite the annoying hipness of the characters in part 2 I thought it was a really fun game. I was extremely disappointed and surprised at how many steps back they took with Legion. You'd think it was made by an entirely different team. Or was it?

It was just so devoid of fun.

LamerTamer992d ago

Honestly one of my biggest annoyances with Legion is that they took out the camera views for the driving. I mean the behind the car view that they stuck us with is near unplayable. I always used a first person driving view. After two releases why did they take OUT features? I don't get it.

TheSinsibleOne992d ago

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.

LamerTamer992d ago

I thought so at first too. I got used to it and it ended up being good after some play time. I just had to give it a chance.

TheEnigma313992d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack992d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma313992d ago

That's good news. Hopefully it's done right.

Inside the Driver game that died so that Watch Dogs could live

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."

vallencer1057d ago

Different spellings in different parts of the world friend. Tyre is a correct way to spell it.

Pridefall1057d ago

Dunno why you got downvpted when tyre is correct in Australia.

mikefizzled11056d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921057d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1057d ago

Why did they stop making some of the best games ever? Driver was one of them.

Gameseeker_Frampt1056d ago

Assassins Creed 2 showed Ubisoft how to make money and Far Cry 2 showed them that gamers don't like complex ideas. Now Ubisoft just turns out games that are just variations of the same thing.

WeAreLegion1057d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1057d ago

A story driven game with pure driving gameplay. I'd love to see a new Driver game or a remake of the first one.

ApocalypseShadow1057d ago

Yes. This one. A definite remake of the first without adding any ridiculous fluff. The first game had great physics and sound for its time. The start of the car in the beginning cinema I watched constantly. My father and uncles were big muscle and classic car freaks. Only thing crazy about the game was the relentless cops in the last level. Insane the way those police cars were and launched at you.

Bleemcast made it look better just like PC emulators. But would definitely take a remake.
