Watch Dogs attempts to do something unique in the open world genre, a genre that, over the past decade, has become over-saturated. Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto III set the bar, a bar that has since been inched upwards over numerous iterations from dozens of developers, all trying to leave their indelible mark. When Ubisoft unveiled Watch Dogs to the world at E3 2012 with their stunning “gameplay” demo, they made erroneous promises that simply couldn’t be kept. Watch Dogs features a compelling story, solid controls, a beautiful and modern open world, and exposes an intriguing – albeit scary – dystopian future we might soon be living in, but it never quite reached the heights it set for itself.

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.
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.
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.
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."
Why did they stop making some of the best games ever? Driver was one of them.
A story driven game with pure driving gameplay. I'd love to see a new Driver game or a remake of the first one.
