I find this feature incredibly fun and it will make game unpredictable (which is good). Adds one more reason for me to buy this game.

Mr_Nuts4387d ago (Edited 4387d ago )

This can be turned OFF though right.....RIGHT?

I don't want randoms or friends invading my game messing up my missions. Imagine being in a car chase and some arse hole brings up the police barriers on the street to make me crash

Shani4387d ago

I think yes. An option that can be turned on or turned off from menu.

Dee_914387d ago

I dont know this is ubisoft, and 1 of the 3 games have been confirmed to require internet to function.Which is weird considering Ubisoft CEO sounded like he was against DRM.

Adexus4387d ago

@Dmarc, I assume the 1 of the 3 games you're talking about is The Division, which is an MMO... pretty hard to do an MMO without a constant internet connection.

Mr_Nuts4387d ago

Aeon - He's talking about the Crew...that's always online

I never knew the Division was an MMO....INTEREST..LOST

Dee_914387d ago

Yea I didnt know Division was a MMO
and I was talking about The Crew
They said it has a single player aspect so it makes no sense to me that it has to be online.Especially considering the ceo sounded like he was against DRM in his interview with geoff

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.

RaidenBlack1418d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1418d ago (Edited 1418d 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.

HankHill1418d 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.

obidanshinobi1418d 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.

LamerTamer1417d 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.

gantarat1418d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee1418d 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?

RaidenBlack1418d 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.

BlaqMagiq11418d ago

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

Profchaos1418d 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.

BlaqMagiq11418d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn1417d ago

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

smolinsk1418d ago (Edited 1418d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos1418d ago (Edited 1418d 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_toad1418d 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.

LamerTamer1417d 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.

TheSinsibleOne1418d 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.

LamerTamer1417d 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.

TheEnigma3131418d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack1418d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma3131418d 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."

vallencer1483d ago

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

Pridefall1482d ago

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

mikefizzled11482d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921483d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1483d ago

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

Gameseeker_Frampt1482d 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.

WeAreLegion1483d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1483d 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.

ApocalypseShadow1483d 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.
