Sensory overload...

From the eye candy to the gameplay this is looking like something really special. A top tier most wanted game for me.

I like the idea of interlaced multi, and thus far the NPC's look smart enough, so far, so very good...

Yi-Long3996d ago

...however, it won't be a day 1 purchase for me, considering it's Ubisoft, and they've probably got a whole bunch of DLC lined up...

SolidStoner3996d ago (Edited 3996d ago )

this game looks like a great GTA replacement, but not forever, and this will never be better than GTA5.. we just cant play GTA every day, this is a great change for some time, looks fun, I saw there some GTA, Hitman and other game elements combined :) the only thing I didnt like is driving, it looked like a GTA3 game to be honest :) with sharp fast unrealistic car movements.... like an ubisoft game... lol

gedapeleda3996d ago

@Tvensky
Car handling sucks...
Everything looks awesome, kinda realistic and then he gets into a car that drives like it's from another universe (sants row).

MYSTERIO3603997d ago

This looks awesome, November can't come any sooner

This is just going to be one of those games that you would have to try to hate I think.

It's a step in the right direction for open world gaming.

The next thing would be to expand their idea and allow all 3-4 million players to player their single player campaign together in the same 4-5 cities that would be the size of actual cities.

They are kind of doing it here but not everyone will be connected.

I'm talking like in real life we all live on this planet, but we are all going about our lives (single player experience) within the same planet.

I think that may be next next gen though.

That being said, this game looks like it could actually be GREAT.

GribbleGrunger3997d ago (Edited 3997d ago )

I think this looks great. Perhaps not the leap some people would expect but that's largely due to the fact that most people tend to compare 5th generation gameplay and graphics with 1st generation gameplay and graphics on the new console. This is understandable of course and even I sometimes have to remind myself of that.

In terms of a leap from 1st gen games on the PS3 to 1st gen games on the PS4, it's a HUGE leap in overall quality. How does it compare to 5th gen games though? It doesn't come out unscathed, but you can see quite clearly that there are many improvements that warrant calling them 'noticeably' better.

So, yes, I think this game looks (and plays) next gen and whilst I know that 3rd generation games on the PS4 (and the Infinity for that matter) are going to BLOW YOUR MIND, I'm also confident that we are not going to be disappointed with the launch games.

Paul :)

TheOneWhoIsTornApart3997d ago

This is a cross gen game. Some of the footage from this video was obviously from the ps3 or 360 version. First gen ps4 and Infinity games WILL blow our minds.

AngelicIceDiamond3997d ago (Edited 3997d ago )

@Gribble The PS2 cross Xbox 360 games were not a big leap. In fact the The PS3 and Xbox 360 just looked like simple polished version of the PS2 version.

I'd say this is big transition leap, its gonna have to be.

Why?

Well, last gen the PS2 was the clear victor of that era.

Devs had no intention on abandoning the PS2 due to strong software sales they were gathering from the PS2.

It only makes sense that devs will combine the install bases of PS360. They both ended up even in sales.

expect cross gen games for an even longer time imo. The ps2 was the only worthy console to go toe to toe with this gen for a while.

I don't know how much different it'll be this time thanks to PS4's and supposed 720's PC architect.

GribbleGrunger3997d ago

@AngelicIceDiamond. Well said. Bubble.

brodychet3997d ago

Looks fresh and original. If only it came before GTA 5, because coming after... I don't think I'll have the time to pick this up too D:

Syntax-Error3996d ago

There is no 720. The system is called INFINITY with a play on the symbol being a sideways 8 (Windows 8). Calling it a 720 was coined by IGN and makes you look like sheep. Even the studio's project name was Durango, so calling it a 720 just showed your idiocy

teedogg803996d ago

They also say it may be called "Fusion".

vishmarx3996d ago

Zhipp3997d ago

Man I hope it doesn't demand that card for high performance. I'd be crushed. Heh.

gta28003997d ago

My PS4 games will
1.Infamous Second son
2.Killzone SF
3.Watch Dogs

But heck, if these will all be launch titles they won't be coming to my house day 1 in any particular order. I'm getting all!

ElitaStorm3996d ago

what about knack dude ? X_X

gta28003996d ago

@Elita

I forgot about Knack, but that's definitely on the list! Sony's launch is gonna have me broke! lol.

FITgamer3997d ago

I've been saying same thing for few months, of course i want everything i've seen so far too, but this will definitely be the game that pops my PS4's cherry.

MasterCornholio3997d ago

Mobile app confirmed.

No need for a Wii U.

Realplaya3997d ago

You felt the need to throw the Wii U in here for?

TechnicianTed3997d ago (Edited 3997d ago )

He talks about Nintendo and the Wii U all the time. He downplays Nintendo at every opportunity, even when there's no need.

At least he hasn't told us what crappy phone he's using to post with though, that's good to see.

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.

LucasRuinedChildhood996d ago (Edited 996d 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.

HankHill996d 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.

obidanshinobi996d 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?

RaidenBlack996d 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.

Profchaos996d 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.

Profchaos996d ago (Edited 996d 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_toad996d 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.

TheSinsibleOne996d 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.

TheEnigma313996d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack996d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma313996d 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.

mikefizzled11060d 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_Frampt1060d 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.
