Watch_Dogs: Leaked Screenshot Shows Giant Mecha Spider

It was known that Watch_Dogs is going to have some rather “interesting” and weird things, and apparently a giant robot spider is part of the whole picture, as shown by an alleged leaked screenshot.

Holy... this is apparently not your run of the mill open world hacker game. Really it's not run of the mill at all!

LackTrue4K3660d ago

HA! Love that show. Good memory. XD

alexkoepp3659d ago

I would say this is potentially huge spoiler and should be hidden better rather than a top news headline ruining it for those who want to play this game. Shame on you n4g

GribbleGrunger3660d ago

Apparently it has eight legs in the PS4 version ...

Majin-vegeta3660d ago

Would you say it's an eight legged freak??

elhebbo163659d ago

Is that part of a exclusive dlc or something?

starchild3660d ago

What the hell is going on in this game? Giant robot spiders, zombies with flaming heads, weird flying jelly fish aliens... there's more to this game than meets the eye it seems.

CertifiedGamer3660d ago

Starchild remember last time when we had a discussion about this game being made for consoles and you disputed it.

http://www.examiner.com/art...

In the link I just posted the developer said the game was made for the seventh generation of consoles from the start which proved what I had previously stated.

Double_Oh_Snap3660d ago

Well damn lol... I guess it's actually in the city after all, I wonder how this will be explained.

Ninver3660d ago

This is a major spoiler in my opinion. I would have liked to experience this spider ingame for myself.

Abriael3660d ago (Edited 3660d ago )

It was already in the welcome to chicago trailer.

Nitrowolf23660d ago (Edited 3660d ago )

for like not even a split second (basically hidden)

Not that I have an issue with this since i saw that post. Wonder how this will play out.

randomass1713660d ago

To be fair, even that split second is a reveal. They show the new monsters in the new Godzilla movie trailers and no one calls that a spoiler.

Sethry1013660d ago

Abriael please add a spoiler warning. I haven't watched any trailers and knew nothing of this, I try know as little as I can about the story of a game.

And while sure I can choose not to read the article which I didn't, but the spoiler is in your title, which peevs me.

No problem with the article, just the spoiler title.

Thanks mate.

SaturdayNightBeaver3660d ago (Edited 3660d ago )

Thank you for the spoiler anyway. Much appreciated. Is this how you get "hot" articles? Pretty lame..

Double_Oh_Snap3660d ago

It was in the welcome to Chicago trailer, hidden in like one frame. I do see your point though. We are still missing one crucial thing though... Context of this scene and the mecha spider purpose in the game.

468893373660d ago (Edited 3660d ago )

Yeah. The whole mecha Spider, flaming heads, and morph gun thing seems pretty out of place in a game that seems to be striving on realism. Hopefully it's all explained well within the context of the story.

tee_bag2423660d ago

Agreed. This was somewhat a bit of a spoiler for me. Even just the title of this post spoils it. I didn't want to know what I'm in for.

ginsunuva3659d ago

It was obviously not "leaked."
They purposely put this image out for more marketing.

Who would take such stylish pictures of the spider in-game?

Double_Oh_Snap3660d ago (Edited 3660d ago )

Mecha Spider FTW!

@bjshepp: I am pretty positive they will. Both the animation lead an Creative lead have both hinted at this. After being asked so many questions about, welcome to Chicago trailer.

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.

RaidenBlack996d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood995d ago (Edited 995d 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.

HankHill995d 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.

obidanshinobi995d 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.

LamerTamer995d 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.

gantarat995d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee995d 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?

RaidenBlack995d 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.

BlaqMagiq1995d ago

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

Profchaos995d 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.

BlaqMagiq1995d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn995d ago

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

smolinsk995d ago (Edited 995d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos995d ago (Edited 995d 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_toad995d 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.

LamerTamer995d 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.

TheSinsibleOne995d 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.

LamerTamer995d 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.

TheEnigma313995d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack995d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma313995d 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."

vallencer1060d ago

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

Pridefall1060d ago

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

mikefizzled11059d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921060d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1060d ago

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

Gameseeker_Frampt1059d 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.

WeAreLegion1060d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1060d 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.

ApocalypseShadow1060d 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.
