AusGamers has interviewed Ubisoft Montreal's Eric Baillargeon about Watch Dogs, who talks openly about the PC version of the game, which he confirms will also support companion app functionality. They also go into detail on the notoriety system, side-quests, the tech driving the game and much more.
From the interview:
"Yeah, we aim to release in November 2013, on all current-gen and PC," Eric told us. "For next-gen platforms, the dates are still to be communicated, but yes it’s being built at the same time by the same team in Montreal, so expect it to have the same kind of delivery for every platform."
If you are looking for a bargain, check out the huge discounts across the entire WatchDogs series on Steam.
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.
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."
Why did they stop making some of the best games ever? Driver was one of them.
A story driven game with pure driving gameplay. I'd love to see a new Driver game or a remake of the first one.
Can you play normal console to console co op? I am a little worried as I have not seen anything on that yet. Also how would that work, 4 aidens running around?
Ubisoft has a pretty terrible track record with PC ports. I was just playing Assassins Creed 3 on a i5 3570k / GTX 770 build and it's a hot mess. Frame rates as stable as an epileptic break dancer. Meanwhile they hit it out of the park with Far Cry 3. Also Uplay. Ugh. I have hope for this one though- with the new consoles being so similar to PC's.
This game needs to hurry up and come out I wanna get my hackin on all over that city!
"because there are very few open-world games on PC"
can someone confirm that? I don't think it's true.
The companion app is sounding awesome,imagine it,running up to a car and before you even got in the car you already hacked the bridge you are going to use while being 3 blocks away,epic! My ac 3 runs between 40 and 60 fps unstably on my 650gtx,it is badly optimized.
