Not surprising, the game is on sale in most places at the minute, I've seen it as low as £30 (PS4). However I picked up the DEDSEC edition for £50 (PS4) which I'm extremely happy with :) (Grainger games)

Though Game.co.uk has it on sale too :)

only reason Watch dogs is selling well is because theres not much else to buy. this is why more games should release in the summer. not everyone is outside in the sun. we the gaming geeks want something to play.

Why do people like you insist on turning every thread into the same old "console war" discussion? Don't you get bored. This is a discussion about games, regardless of their platforms. Everybody knows PS4 sales are top, this is old news...

Zichu3564d ago (Edited 3564d ago )

Yet, the only PS4 exclusive on their in Infamous: Second Son and it's at number 39 after dropping from 23...

Titanfall however is at number 6 and only dropped from number 4.

Hell, the 360 is still dominating the PS3 in multiplatform sales.

Spotie3563d ago

It could be reasonably argued that the higher number of games to play on PS4 impacts inFamous' sales. I imagine there's also still a heavily-pushed bundle of the XB1 and Titanfall in Europe (not that I'm in Europe, so I don't know for sure).

As they say, though, what else are you gonna play on XB1?

Gekko363564d ago (Edited 3564d ago )

OH god, here we go!

Look Patrik23, I've had more interesting poo's than reading regurgitated statistics, surely there is something else you can contribute to this conversation than a list of stats.

Personally I couldn't care less who buys what, because from my kids and my own point of view, it does nothing to sway our opinion.

My lads know what they want, and when it's out. On the very rare occasion that we buy something on the first day it's a casual affair, we don't look at the charts or pre-order, we already know what we are going to buy in the shop before we go.

The thing to note is that we, just like so many other families don't buy online, we are more 'a shove it in the trolley at Sainbury's' type of thing.

It's true what they say, there are lies, damn lies and then statistics..

OT: We are loving Watchdogs, great game from a great developer team so we are not surprised that it's still at the top of the UK charts... not that we give a monkey's

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.

RaidenBlack1000d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood999d ago (Edited 999d 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.

HankHill999d 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.

obidanshinobi999d 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.

LamerTamer999d 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.

gantarat1000d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee1000d 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?

RaidenBlack999d 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.

BlaqMagiq1999d ago

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

Profchaos1000d 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.

BlaqMagiq1999d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn999d ago

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

smolinsk1000d ago (Edited 1000d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos1000d ago (Edited 1000d 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_toad999d 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.

LamerTamer999d 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.

TheSinsibleOne1000d 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.

LamerTamer999d 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.

TheEnigma3131000d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack999d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma313999d 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."

vallencer1064d ago

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

Pridefall1064d ago

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

mikefizzled11064d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921064d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1064d ago

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

Gameseeker_Frampt1064d 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.

WeAreLegion1064d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1064d 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.

ApocalypseShadow1064d 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.
