That is so awesome.

-N4G mods are unfair.

Abash4003d ago

I want to be able to play it on my PS Vita via Remote Play

iGAM3R-VIII4003d ago

If they mean mobile devices as in phones then that is a HUGE step, but if they mean the Vita then that is still good. Now I can finally use that Vita for some second screen stuff, can't wait!!

E3 come to papa

PsnGammer214003d ago

You can most likely since they said all games remote play

playhouseent4003d ago

ps vita remote play is a requirement for most ps4 games. companion apps are for mobile phones. will show game data like maps, upgrades, stats, etc. The full game will definitely NOT be playable on mobile phones.

Braid4002d ago

Allright, I'll have to pass on this one. That's a nice feature and all, but in the end I'd love to play the game on my console or PC, rather than a tablet or phone, thank you.

"Allright, I'll have to pass on this one. That's a nice feature and all, but in the end I'd love to play the game on my console or PC, rather than a tablet or phone, thank you."

So you'll pass because it has the option to play on a mobile device, even though it will still mainly play on the console?

Bizarre.

abzdine4002d ago (Edited 4002d ago )

@Braid:

Then try to take your PS4 or PC on the go to play Watch Dog..

*facepalm*

Braid4002d ago

I should have specified it, I'll pass the said feature, not the game itself. I'm planning on buying it for PS4. Watch Dogs is one of my most anticipated next-gen titles so far, I wouldn't even dare thinking about passing the game.

@abzdine,

I'm not a fan of mobile gaming myself. Let alone they may be talking about a companion application rather than the full game, details are not given yet.

I've got a Vita, I think that's the ultimate way to go for taking your games with you. I'm pretty sure Sony said that they'll be doing their best to support Remote Play on every title coming to PS4. I'd rather play the game on Vita if need be.

donman14002d ago

My Samsung Galaxy S4 will be just fine. Great news.

minimur124002d ago

the title should be changed to 'may be able ' being as he spoke about it for 10 seconds, and we still have no clue what he meant by it.

They can make an app. that allows you to hack into things, collect info and upgrade your character skills in your free time. But not play the actual game because that wouldn't be much useful.

imdaboss14003d ago

You can play it on your PSVita is already been confirmed that it will have via remote play

Dan_scruggs4003d ago

Remote play on the PS4 is local wifi only so you would essentially be limited to playing the game on your Vita while sitting in front of you TV and PS4. To me this completely defeats the purpose. Essentially making a PS4/Vita with expensive memory card combo into a WiiU with a bigger latency. Its a completely impractical and outrageously expensive "me too" solution that Sony has come up with.

SoundGamer4002d ago

@Dan_scruggs

No. Remote play will enable you to play anywhere there is a WiFi connection.

FlyingFoxy4002d ago

How does it work? doyou leave your PS4 on, go elsewhere there's Wifi and connect to your PS4 over the net to stream the game to your Vita?, you'd need a good connection for that, probably at least 100kb/s upload speed minimum.

My 100mbps connection has 10mbps upload (1 megabyte per sec)

GiantFriendlyCrab4003d ago

why all the disagrees?, not everyone has time for this, and besides its good to be disconnected sometimes, not always on.

JoGam4003d ago (Edited 4003d ago )

Dude, I 'll tell you why..... This ability is an option. A freaking option that won't take away from playing it on the PS4. To say no thanks to the ability is just wrong. To say no I'll rather play on the ps4 or 720, i can understand. I swear people need to learn to notice options and realize option are just that. Doesn't take away from the main experience. And to be disconnected should be an option also.

SilentNegotiator4003d ago (Edited 4003d ago )

Why would you even bother commenting? All you basically said was "whatever." Even if you said something negative about it, your comment would be worth something.

Omar914003d ago

@JoGam

"To say no thanks to the ability is just wrong".
Huh? lol how is that wrong? thats like saying its wrong to say no to a homeless guy asking for money because its an "option" to do so or not.

maybe that wasn't the best example but you get the point. If some people aren't interested in playing there games on mobile devices, how is that wrong?

I on the other hand would be looking forward to playing games on my vita, not my cellphone so nonetheless this is good news for me.

MysticStrummer4002d ago

"why all the disagrees?"

Because they disagree with you?

Maybe?

There are times when disagrees make no sense, like when stating a fact, but your statement is not a fact, it's an opinion.

If 3g wasnt so expensive here i wouldve used it on my vita or ios devices.

This is the kind of innovation that we need. Bring it on Ubisoft!

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.

gantarat996d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee996d 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

smolinsk996d ago (Edited 996d 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.
