lolz lolz updates and optional additional comments are nunz the cool.

Ubi soft will rape ur brainz with next gen Tom Clancy titles, Rayman, Watch Dogs, Far Cry, and unforeseen gems.

Anyone who denies that is a silly troll.

Assassins Creed 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, plus lots of Assassins Creed DLC and DRM on all of their games?

Just give me a classic RainbowSix game like the originals, but with modern day graphics and no perks, kill streaks or any of that kind of fucking bullshit.

Thats all I want Ubi... Oh ya and Watch Dogs :S

Everyone dissing them for AC but no one praising Watch Dogs which as of now looks like the best next gen game.

I think it looks the most "next gen" (although multi-gen) as we haven't seen enough Infamous to make a real guess on how it will play (probably not too different) and Killzone looks great from a technical/graphical standpoint but the short video still looks entirely "today" in terms of gameplay mechanics.

The level of in-game environment/character interaction of Watchdogs though is just something very new which we haven't seen before which sets it apart. Its sort of the Next AC (hopefully not milked) as it takes a rather familiar genre (open world Action) but puts it on its head (the original AC was one of the best and most innovative open world Action games this gen by far--milked or not).

I may be a little more interested in some games next gen (probably more so when we see more of them) but Watchdogs, as of now, really shows that Ubisoft still is willing to take chances and looks to be paying off. I hope its as fun as it looks as traffic jams are going to be epic ;) I can't wait to see what all is interactive and different ways to escape or do things differently.
