Watch Dogs multiplayer video - Ubisoft explains player hacking and tablet apps

OXM UK: "Contrary to earlier reports, Jonty did not in fact spend all of E3 facedown in a box of promotional Doritos. Want evidence to that effect? Here's a video of the man chatting to Ubisoft's Dominic Guay, senior producer on forthcoming open world hack 'em up Watch Dogs. The topic du jour? Multiplayer."

Nice multiplayer aspect! can't wait to play this on next gen consoles.

redcar1213938d ago

Nice to see someone excited about the XB1.

I grow tired of the XB1 bashing as the console is just as capable as a PS4 if not more because of it's Cloud and multiple OS operations.

virtually the same GPU and CPU with 8GB Ram (sure GDDR5 is faster than DDR3 but not really noticeable) but XB1 is designed to mutitask from day one

DeadlyFire3938d ago (Edited 3938d ago )

So is PS4. Multitasking and pausing things like on XB1 is also on PS4. Cloud is universal tech. It will be the same on PS4 and PC if enabled.

RAM difference won't be too much to notice for the most part it only enables some faster high res texture loading. The GPU itself will be the main difference between the two. 12 GPU CUs vs. 18 GPU CUs as well as more shaders on the PS4 GPU is where the difference will be made between the two graphically and performance wise.

WiiU and xbox1 have DDR as system RAM because they have much more powerful chip RAM ie wiiu uses eDRAM not sure on xbox1 though.....remember sony said if they went with edram they could hit 1TB of bandwidth RAM instead of the 176GB they have now due to accessibility,and the amount of RAM means nothing these days when you have HAVOK NEXT GEN with compression x10 ??? ie WiiU could use 512MB for textures which could be turned into 5GB with HAVOK's compression tech ??? amount of RAM isn't a bottleneck like some ps4 devs would like to make you believe,chip RAM and cache memory in ps4 is weak and their is no way around it......

SnotyTheRocket3936d ago

Yeah, The Cloud is good for servers and matchmaking, thats about it. It can't really "Boost" the graphics....

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.

RaidenBlack1003d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1003d ago (Edited 1003d 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.

HankHill1003d 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.

obidanshinobi1003d 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.

LamerTamer1002d 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.

gantarat1003d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee1003d 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?

RaidenBlack1003d 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.

BlaqMagiq11002d ago

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

Profchaos1003d 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.

BlaqMagiq11002d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn1002d ago

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

smolinsk1003d ago (Edited 1003d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos1003d ago (Edited 1003d 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_toad1003d 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.

LamerTamer1002d 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.

TheSinsibleOne1003d 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.

LamerTamer1002d 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.

TheEnigma3131003d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack1003d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma3131003d 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."

vallencer1067d ago

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

Pridefall1067d ago

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

mikefizzled11067d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921067d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1067d ago

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

Gameseeker_Frampt1067d 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.

WeAreLegion1067d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1067d 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.

ApocalypseShadow1067d 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.
