[Ubi-Conf] Watch_Dogs Announced (Video/screens added) [Up: Xbox 360/PS3/PC]

Really good looking, definitely most interesting title so far. Props to Ubi for working on a new IP at this stage of the cycle. Me likie!
 
Let's get some smooth gifs up in here, not 3 FPS ones

WOW
 
The game looks great, but I am impressed at the amount of people that thought it looked next-gen. It looked like a 360 or PS3 game from the low-res internet stream.

It's specific effects that are too much of a strain to do in a game, and multiples of those effects going on at the same time. The effects are big and obvious, but only to someone that knows what they're looking at.
 
For all the effort GTA makes to convince me I'm a sociopath, this fucking scene really messed with me.
The guy is crying because the driver (a completely innocent bystander) is dead to a crash *you* caused and you just throw his desperate ass out of the car and tell him to go away because I have to kill my target.
This is a fucking asshole and cruel protagonist right here. Kratos level of asshole.

Yup, this bit got me too. Grim shit. But still, there's something to be said for eliciting such a strong emotional reaction.
 
God damn this game looks incredible. It's like what I wanted Splinter cell to be, and then they added GTA V to the mix.

I would be utterly shocked if this wasn't a next gen game. To me it seems like Ubisoft isn't allowed to say that it's for NextBox/PS4 so they just listed PS3 and 360 for now.

If it's not next gen then Ubi gets mad respect for actually catering to PC gamers for once.
 
You're thinking too much into it. While it's true that you are the guy who caused the accident you save him by telling him to stay on the floor to avoid bullets.

Maybe you are right. It's just that, wow, the guy in the car is actually trying and not wanting to get away when the protagonist pulls him out. As someone said, could be scripted, but for me it was the most powerful moment of the clip.
 
I don't see it being next-gen though, games been in development for 2 years, and I doubt next-gen developer kits were being sent out then.

They just code for a high-end PC and then make adjustments when they have the actual next-gen systems. Which is how I assume all 3rd parties are coding their next-gen games now.

The controller they were playing with means nothing anyway as the game (like AC3) clearly wasn't actually being played live anyway.
 
I don't see it being next-gen though, games been in development for 2 years, and I doubt next-gen developer kits were being sent out then.

Late, but obviously they started development on PC using educated (with possible information from manufacturers?) guesses of what the target hardware would be for the next-gen consoles.

Or, hey, maybe it's just straight up a PC exclusive like the good old days!

(wishful thinking)

The driver did not die in the crash, she was shot in the crossfire. He was trying to save the passenger.
 
NO FUCKING FUTURISTIC BULLSHIT!

*no future weapons
*no future vehicles

!!!
 
Did you guys see how realistic the car crash was? The animations, the physics, no clippings, damage, everything was insane!

I'm telling you.. this game is from the fucking future
 
So it's current-gen? Then that makes me look forward to next-gen even more haha. Though I'm guessing the PS3 and 360 versions won't look as good, but still, pretty stunning regardless.

Though seriously, this HAS to be on WiiU. It would make a perfect fit for the game. With all the love you gave the WiiU in your conference Ubisoft, don't go turn that around and leave the WiiU without Watch Dogs, seriously. Even if the graphics took a hit I'd definitely get this for WiiU over PC just for WiiU's GamePad.
