Watch Dogs 2 at E3? OMG!! Can't wait!

I hope they show new gameplay mechanics and new city of course, and I hope the graphics will be on par with that E3 2012 demo, please Ubisoft.

Randostar3035d ago (Edited 3035d ago )

I def wanna see some watchdogs 2, also i'm really interested For Honor but i hope the presentation is a little less cringy than it was last year.

Sevir3035d ago

My hope is all those games are Bro compatible.

mogwaii3035d ago

We are talking about ubisoftcock here, dont get your hopes up.

Null19803035d ago (Edited 3035d ago )

I still haven't played the original Watchdogs. Lost interest when I saw the graphical downgrade, then all the professional AND players' lukewarm reception. The core concept is still really neat and would like to see it fully realized. I disliked the first Assassin's Creed, but it came around to something great with AC2. (even though I'm burnt out on the series now) Hoping this is the case here though.

I'd still give the original Watchdogs a play if we got it free on PS+.

_-EDMIX-_3035d ago

"Lost interest when I saw the graphical downgrade" soooo you play games or just look at them? You can get it used for pretty cheap now, play games for being games bud, not graphics. When GTA 3 - SA released they used Renderware, sure it wasn't as good looking as God Of War or RE4 or anything like that, but it allowed for them to make a great game to play...TO PLAY! Thus, it sold gangbusters.

I care for a game based on what I"m doing first before how it looks like, that isn't a factor to me and I'm surprised many are shallow enough to even make statements like that...

Null19803035d ago

"then all the professional and players' lukewarm reception." Meaning I saw that a large amount of people weren't that crazy about it. You must be in politics, picking a portion of sentence and causing conflict on it. Not even a full sentence.

_-EDMIX-_3035d ago (Edited 3035d ago )

"picking a portion of sentence and causing conflict on it" Nope. What you stated is your own words bud.

"Lost interest when I saw the graphical downgrade" I'm not sure how much this could mean outside of what its literally saying.

"I saw that a large amount of people weren't that crazy about it" ? Sooo you buy games based on popularity? OH.....I see...

Am I'm causing "conflict" with that too? Buddy, buy games because you like them, not based on "people weren't that crazy about it" . What about the most important person in this....you?

You are playing the game, your time, your money, your happiness. Seriously don't try to ignorantly make it seem as if this is some popularity contest. You may belittle yourself to that type of thinking, but that doesn't apply to us all bud.

I determine what I like and what I buy, not other "people" smh. You should be seriously ashamed of yourself.
No matter the publisher, no matter the developer. If a game looks fun, I will give it a try, what other "people" like or don't like or what they are "crazy about" is irrelevant to me.

Not all of us buy games based on peer pressure or popularity bud. I'm shocked that in this day and age, this is even a reason to not try a game by someone who is a gamer.

Null19803035d ago (Edited 3035d ago )

@_-EDMIX-_ Whoa, calm down kid. It will be alright. You did in fact cherry pick only isolated portions of an expressed opinion. No, I can't be swayed by a single review, or even a handful. But I saw so many reviews, opinions from players and friends all say the same thing about it. Bland world, the mechanics could have been better implemented etc. I watched livestreams too and indeed saw what they were talking about.

You latched onto half a sentence though and went into a blind rage where your mind stopped reading and comprehending what I was saying in the later parts. I praised the game for having a neat concept, it just could have been implemented better. The graphic downgrade was only my first disappointment (they promised something so much better), the lukewarm reviews of its so-so gameplay were the final deciding factor though. I could have been happy with the game if the graphics were "just okay" like they were if it played amazingly. By many accounts, it doesn't. It plays "okay". It's not terrible. It's not bad.

I was expressing that I had high hopes for Watchdogs 2 based on what I saw of part 1. It has great potential, and I hope to see it reach it.

If you enjoyed it, that's great. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I may even try it eventually, but I've had too many other things to play.

Seriously, not here to fight. Too old for that nonsense.

_-EDMIX-_3035d ago (Edited 3035d ago )

" I can't be swayed by a single review,"

yet

" I saw that a large amount of people weren't that crazy about it"

You can be swayed either way bud.

Save it. You've already stated by you're own words that how other people react to a game can sway you.
No one is making you say anything. What you are saying is very literal bud.

"Lost interest when I saw the graphical downgrade" Can this mean anything else? lol

You focus on others way, way too much bud. Focus on you, buy what YOU care about, what you like to play.

It is after all your money. Don't be so pressured to buy based on popularity or peers bud. Grow up. Buy what you like. Sound like a child....be an adult and make choices of what you play based on what you like, not reviewers or other gamers. Sounds like you can be easily swayed by anyone to not enjoy anything. Be your own self for once...

Mind you..."I was expressing" and "I had high hopes" and "based on what I saw" and " and I hope to"

lots of "I"s yet you stated this...

"large amount of people weren't that crazy about it"

"still haven't played the original Watchdogs"

"all the professional AND players' lukewarm reception"

Soooo why is it that others had much more of a reason behind you not playing a game then yourself?

Sounds like other "people" and um "professional AND players" determine what you buy and play bud.

Your own words... "I still haven't played the original Watchdogs"

smh

"If you enjoyed it" funny.. Were did I say I played Watchdogs? I never played the game....I just think its funny you didn't play it based on other people. So impressionable lol I play what I want, no review or other "people" or anything stops me from doing that. Sounds to me like they have lots of power of your choices bud.

Not me.

Null19803035d ago (Edited 3035d ago )

Still not understanding why you're taking it so personally, why you're so angry. Did you work on it? You're still blindly glazing over the rest of what I've said. I'm not going to argue with you. Take it or leave it, but don't let it get your blood boiling so.That would be a bigger part of growing up. I'm almost 36 years old, married for 5 1/2 years. I can't play every game that comes out. I have to be more selective these days. So yes, I will go by a majority opinion sometimes, especially if I watch enough on livestreams. It's not a "bad game", I'd rather spend my gaming time with something better. I hope Watchdogs 2 will be that. Anyways, have a good night. Cheers.

_-EDMIX-_3035d ago

@Otter- thats nice........

Who said I"m angry? Merely think its funny "professional AND players" determine what you buy and enjoy.

I never said anything about "professional AND players" having any influence on what I buy or play bud, pretty sure you did, now trying to backpedaling into making it seem as if its some misunderstanding lol

"people weren't that crazy about it" thus based on you're logic a game is a no buy right bro? /s

Null19803035d ago (Edited 3035d ago )

because angry people get tunnel vision, stop reading at a particular point once they get triggered and go off into longwinded rants. You can keep ranting, but this will be my last post. Cya around.

Deadpooled3035d ago

And South Park the Fractured Butt Whole

Testfire3035d ago

That's the only game from Ubisoft I care about.

skulz73035d ago

I want to see confirmation that the next Assassins Creed will be set in Ancient Egypt and is being developed by the Black Flag team.

Ceaser98573613034d ago

that will be showcased next year E3 , some "leaks" according to UBI will happen as usual end of this year or around march 2017

Ceaser98573613035d ago

I hope they bring back Prince of Persia .. also i am guessing a New splinter cell game could be announced .

Review: Sumerian Six is a worthy, if unoriginal, real-time stealth tactics game - Entertainium

Unashamedly derived from the work of Mimimi Games, Sumerian Six adds weirdness to World War II.

Ex-343 QA Claims Microsoft Contracting Policies Main Issue MS Exclusives Seeing Downturn in Quality

One former 343 Industries QA Tester blames Microsoft's contracting policies for the Halo franchise's hardships and MS' exclusives downturn in quality.

Sonyslave36h ago

Microsoft biggest opp is the main stream media lol suda 51 hit it on the head on metacritic and media bias.

Sciurus_vulgaris5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

The contracting policies do cause a decrease in developer productivity. New contractors are continually having to adjust to new dev tools and workplaces. Once a contractor has fully adjusted to a studio and its development tech, they are often let go and replaced.

excaliburps24m ago

Exactly. Save on money but compromise quality.

ThinkThink5h ago

Downturn in quality? Aside from redfall, they've been doing pretty good.

isarai3h ago

You're not living up to your username bro, nearly every MS studio release has been met with sizeable disappoinment of some kind besides Hi-Fi Rush for the past decade.

BeHunted1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Concord, the PS5 game that cost $400 million, flopped within 12 days of its release, surpassing E.T. to become the biggest flop in gaming history. What happened? Did they forget to include gameplay?

isarai59m ago

@BeHunted

Absolutely no one is defending Concord 🤣, also the $400mil has been debunked. And lastly this has nothing to do with Sony or Concord.

Hypertension14048m ago

@BeHunted

I think he means Microsofts old studios, the ones responsible for halo, gears and forza. Every new game has had a noticeable drop in quality.

Concord is from one of Sonys newest studios, and Microsoft buying what's already popular studios don't count.

Profchaos38m ago(Edited 37m ago)

Look at first party games pre Halo 5 and gears 4 some amazing generational hits that stand as some of the greatest games ever made like halo 1/2/3, mass effect 1, gears 1/2, Crackdown, fable etc.

And look at them since the Kinect on 360 where the focus turned to trying to capture the casual market pivoting back trying cloud and gamepass and giving up then going on a spending spree because they failed to compete on their own merits.
Stellar games like
Halo 5/ infinite, gears 4, recore, starfield and red fall are the result. I don't think anyone will look back in 20 years like man that whole moment between master chief and locke when they teamed up with amazing but everyone recalls the fall of reach.

Yeah I've noticed a significant downturn in quality for the last decade or more

Hi-fi rush was born out of a side project and that is their most acclaimed game in the last decade

XiNatsuDragnel4h ago

I am not surprised Microsoft is there own enemy.

Knightofelemia3h ago

I found that after Microsoft bought 2 certain ip's from Bungie and Epic their quality has gone down. The exclusives are boring Gears 4 and 5 I thought were boring Halo 5 I also thought was boring. And yes the quality was there when XB360 had exclusives. But since XB1 and Series X the quality and lack of exclusives has gone down. And yes it sounds like Microsoft is a prick to work for. Work today get turfed tomorrow.

Hotpot33m ago

It was downturn anyway since they bought Halo and Gears from Bungie and epic.

Hopefully not a lot of remasters

Eonjay14h ago

Agreed, but if I could pick one game to remaster first it would be Killzone 2. If you had to pick one which would it be?

Mr_cheese13h ago

I know it's not the same but I'd love a reboot of resistance or warhawk

u-bEttA-rUn13h ago

If they announce Kill Zone 2 remake or resistance 2 that multiplayer would be crazy. But Warhawk I would cry like a 2 year old 😂😂😂 give me bloody roar

ravens5213h ago

God of War 1-3, Ascension, Ghost of Sparta and Chains of Olympus all in One.

RaiderNation13h ago

I love Killzone, but I would prefer a complete reboot of the franchise, using the newest version of the Decima engine, rather than simply a remaster of part 2.

SimpleDad12h ago

Sony will not do Killzone 2 or any Killzone because they don't have plans for it in the future... No TV shows, no sequel, no Lego game, no multiplayer...

This is dead for Herman... Only Aloy.
And that's sad.

Zero hype for tomorrow.

Kingrizzy9012h ago

legacy of kane, resistance, or just something totally new that hasnt been already done

Cacabunga11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Hopefully zero gaas, will show that they’re starting to reason!!!
And yeah the remaster trend must also stop.
PS5 exclusives or nothing go home

A new Killzone, Uncharted, Tsushima, inFamous, Resistance, Wolverine or something original single player.

CobraKai10h ago

Killzone 1. In think that needs a retelling

Profchaos9h ago

I either want something from the infamous franchise or the cheeky answer is being lemmings back as that's now Sony

DarXyde6h ago

Killzone 2 I think falls into remake territory.

I'll take a Warhawk remake or even a remaster but that's it, really.

Any remasters for a last generation game on a backwards compatible console is just insulting.

IAMRealHooman13h ago

only remasters, even remasters of games that aren't even out yet

DodoDojo13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

Wrong, there will also be a 2 minute snippet of Lego Horizon.

bloop11h ago

If they don't show something from a couple of their big studios after the absolute disaster they've had with Concord then I'll lose all hope. This generation has been a complete letdown so far and there's very little to look forward to at the moment.

RaidenBlack13h ago

Pretty sure : RE9, Days Gone Remaster, HZD Remaster, 1 last SH2 trailer, Wolverine trailer, Until Dawn trailer
Maybe(s) : GoT 2 announcement, DS2 (but already happening@ TGS), Pragmata, TLOU2 or SpiderMan 2 PC announcement,
Wishlist : Santa Monica & Naughty Dog's new project tease, Marathon gameplay trailer
Don't Want : Any AC Shadows trailer, Any more remasters other than the ones leaked

Eonjay13h ago

You really think that other remaster is Days Gone? And my God what happened to Pragmata?!?

seanpitt2313h ago

It’s 30 minutes, I think you’re being optimistic there, don’t have high expectations, I know mine are the lowest they have ever been since what i have witnessed these past 4 years!

Agreed w/ Sean. Keep expectations low.

Christopher13h ago

Only 5 remasters. They had to cut back to squeeze in 1 new announcement. They will have another SoP next month to cover the other 12 remasters.

-Foxtrot13h ago

*monkey paw curls*

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered

Gravity Rush 1 & 2 Remastered

Until Dawn Remastered

DarXyde5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

In the case of Gravity Rush, a remaster of a remaster that plays on PS5 now would be bizarre. Then again, so does Horizon.

This only makes sense if it means a PC release, but they still closed the studio and releasing this would be very poor taste.

potatoseal12h ago

I'm presonally looking forward to a Days Gone one. Would love any excuse to play that game again. I loved it

darthv727h ago

Why wait for an excuse... just go play it now.

CobraKai10h ago

Im thinking showcasing Pro versions of existing games.

neutralgamer199210h ago(Edited 10h ago)

They could do a lot right by simply announcing a blood-borne remastered so many people have been waiting for it and they should not only bring it to PlayStation 5 but also PC

If they are all intent on doing a lot of remasters, how about doing some of the remasters from the games during the PlayStation 2 and three generation instead of PlayStation 4 games?

Can we get infamous collection? Can we please get Socom from the PlayStation 2 generation? Uncharted trilogy God of war trilogy twisted metal collection, kill zone trilogy, resistance trilogy some of these games they can simply just unlock online multiplayer. They’re only one need to do a lot of work and people would enjoy them

But instead, let’s just remastered the last of us horizon zero down the God of war 2018 this PlayStation Sony executive bosses are some of the most idiotic in the past 10 years

PlayStation has such a long history. They can simply do a lot of fun service and get so much positive PR but they keep making the same mistake again and again and again.

Rimeskeem7h ago

I would honestly prefer remasters/remakes/reboots of games than GaaS they have tried to push.
