New Watch Dogs Screens Detail Environments, App, and Characters

Ubisoft has released a batch of new screenshots from Watch Dogs that detail the game’s digital version of Chi-town with some views of a few of the city’s major landmarks. There are also a few screens that detail the game’s companion app for tablets and phones, which will allow other player’s to assist in your quest to hack apart the city.

There are two action shots as well as a poker table shot and a look at Bedbug to round out the new Watch Dogs screenshots.

They're shoving so many things into this game that now I'm starting to worry about whether or not it'll get confusing/overwhelming.XD
Looking forward to trying it regardless, though...

Deividas3690d ago (Edited 3690d ago )

Adding a poker mini game will make it confusing? Last thing anyone wants is a gorgeous huge city, and nothing to do in it.

wonderfulmonkeyman3690d ago

No, I mean all the things collectively, not just the poker game.XD

Plagasx3690d ago

These screenshots are old..Hate when sites get away with this crap.

MasterD9193690d ago

Watch Dogs looks great, but I'm having a hard time deciding if I want to pre-order it or hold-off for a bit...I kinda wish a review or two would get leaked, so I have an understanding of whether these features work like they actually should or not.

MidnytRain3690d ago (Edited 3690d ago )

25% off if you pre-order from here. It's what I'm doing. I too thought I'd hold off, but I might as well save the money.

@masterd919
I was fully expecting to wait until reviews rolled in as well, but I got a pretty good deal and got $20 off the game so I went with it. It looks like there will be plenty of content in the game world, so I'm looking forward to it.

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.

RaidenBlack1051d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1051d ago (Edited 1051d 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.

HankHill1051d 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.

obidanshinobi1051d 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.

LamerTamer1050d 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.

gantarat1051d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee1051d 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?

RaidenBlack1051d 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.

BlaqMagiq11050d ago

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

Profchaos1051d 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.

BlaqMagiq11050d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn1050d ago

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

smolinsk1051d ago (Edited 1051d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos1051d ago (Edited 1051d 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_toad1051d 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.

LamerTamer1050d 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.

TheSinsibleOne1051d 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.

LamerTamer1050d 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.

TheEnigma3131051d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack1051d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma3131051d 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."

vallencer1116d ago

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

Pridefall1115d ago

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

mikefizzled11115d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921116d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1116d ago

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

Gameseeker_Frampt1115d 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.

WeAreLegion1116d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1116d 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.

ApocalypseShadow1116d 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.
