Watch Dogs Multiplayer Trailer Is Filled With Hackers

MP1st - Ubisoft shows you what multiplayer is like in their upcoming, open-world, espionage, action title, Watch Dogs, with this brand new gameplay trailer.

Psychotica3960d ago

I bet real hackers are going to try to hack this game to see what they can do..

Super_ike3960d ago

i like it, feels fresh, nice twist on the cat and mouse scenario, hope they are different modes and way more players online.

This needs more explaining for me. What is the purpose behind all this? Does it do anything towards player progression? It seems pointless if you really watch the video.

So a player comes into your game, starts hacking something of which has no reason, and you just have to prevent them by chasing them far enough away or killing them... Idk, for one thing, the guys he's chasing in both segments, seem to be AI, so I don't fully get what's going on here. The video is not clear on every aspect.

I am extremely excited for the game overall, i'm just disappointed when I heard that people can't hack into your game during story missions, or even side missions. I had expected it to be like Dark Souls where people can invade you, and just F*$K S#!T up however they wanted to. Not the case here, as it's ONLY in free roam, and nothing about it seems to make sense or have a purpose.

Adexus3960d ago

I don't know about the point of hacking someone else to be honest, maybe gain more XP to get more upgrades? I'm not sure, I did read that when you invade a players game (or however it works), you will appear as Aiden Pierce on your screen but on their screen you will appear as a random citizen so I think the people in the video aren't AI but actual human players running around.

iceman063960d ago

The purpose of hacking, from what I gathered from an interview, is to enhance your database (which seems like influence) in the world. This equates to the ability to open up other areas, gain rewards, etc. The guys from the segments were not AI, they just looked like AI (like assassins creed). All of this probably has some sort of "points" system that can be used in some way. (question that wasn't answered in the interview) Overall, it's like a game inside the game. The more you hack others games, the more susceptible you are to being hacked yourself. Also, the feature can be turned OFF when you start your game.

Real players appear as AI/NPC type characters in game.

It would be dumb if there were a bunch of main characters running around.

You are your main, even when you enter others games, you just appear as an AI or NPC in their game so you can blend in.

BiggCMan3960d ago

I get that they appear as the AI characters, I remember hearing that. What I mean is how it acted, it didn't like human controlled, and very scripted, like a side mission almost.

tapaz3960d ago (Edited 3960d ago )

This build looks so much better than what was demoed at Jimmy Fallon interms of frame rate and pop-in. That either must have been an old unpolished build or the current-gen version (which doesn't make any sense given the PS4 controllers). Ah well, other than that, this looks intesting but I would like to see some scenarios that aren't only cat and mouse chases.

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.

RaidenBlack1001d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1001d ago (Edited 1001d 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.

HankHill1001d 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.

obidanshinobi1001d 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.

LamerTamer1001d 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.

gantarat1001d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee1001d 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?

RaidenBlack1001d 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.

BlaqMagiq11001d ago

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

Profchaos1001d 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.

BlaqMagiq11001d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn1000d ago

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

smolinsk1001d ago (Edited 1001d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos1001d ago (Edited 1001d 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_toad1001d 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.

LamerTamer1001d 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.

TheSinsibleOne1001d 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.

LamerTamer1001d 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.

TheEnigma3131001d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack1001d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma3131001d 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."

vallencer1066d ago

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

Pridefall1066d ago

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

mikefizzled11065d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921066d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1066d ago

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

Gameseeker_Frampt1065d 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.

WeAreLegion1066d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1066d 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.

ApocalypseShadow1066d 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.
