XMNR: For a major city with a rich history, the number of video games set in Chicago is surprisingly small. The open-world “Watch Dogs” is the first attempt to create a reasonable simulation of the city but it started out just one of many from a list that included mainstay settings like Los Angeles, according to an Examiner interview with creative director Jonathan Morin.

"NetEase are today very excited and happy to announce Jonathan Morin (the creator of the "Watch Dogs" franchise) as the new Creative Director for NetEase Games Montréal." - NetEase.
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.
Definitely would have been a different game set in Los Angeles. Streets and everything are wider and bigger, besides GTA V took us there, so I'm glad Watch Dogs will provide a different setting. 5/27 get here now.
I would have prefered something in Europe, there's too many coverage for American cities already.
Chicago is a leader in surveillance and has over 24,000 cameras in place through out the city. They also have a advanced command center that looks like something out of a movie. I think it was the best setting for this game. The game looks great.
LA is so much better than Chicago, but oh well. As long as I don't have to physically be in Chicago it is all good.
i remember that quote they had for watch dogs "1 month is long enough for los santos, come to Seattle" or something like that. bot is that awkward. haha
