You buy it, then it appears in game. Think you'll have to do a couple of story missions to unlock your hideout to get the gun though, not sure on the car.

Do you know if the car or the gun will be the best in their class? I might not want to just go easy mode and get the best stuff right away.

Also if anyone else has unlocked either the gun or car with uplay point can you post pictures?

Okay, so I posted my impressions based on 90 minutes Xbox One yesterday. Back today after another three hours.
It has grown on me. The game has atmosphere - it's paranoid and oppressive, even through to the music, weather etc. This is not a "HEY EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!" open world game. There's lots of humour in the hacked messages and such you will see - but the main story is played straight, and it's depressing.
While the graphics, to be honest, look bad last gen some of the time, as you get into it there's moments of it looking stunning. I just finished unlocking a ctOS station in the game (which took over half an hour and was not easy at all, by the way) and it started to both fog up and thunder during this. For those 30 minutes, it looked and played incredible. It was more stealthy than, well, Thief.
Also, the unlocks are great.
Downsides: the map isn't massive (I saw somebody superimposed the Watch Dogs map with GTA 5 map online... well, it isn't to scale properly as Watch Dog isn't GTA 5 sized at all). Also - minor bugs sometimes challenge immersion. I saw a dude NPC randomly fall into the water and immediately disappear. I also saw a car 'lagging' earlier - a computer controlled one rubber banding around the place. It was hilarious and weird.
Overall I'm much more positive after spending some time in the world.

With the PS4 version, if you don't have a PS+ subscription...are the online features of Watch_dogs completely locked out?

Not for me. Like I said it's been smooth for me, no issues with aiming. And I'm playing with a 360 controller.
You might be talking about recoil, which is a different matter from aiming. (There is supposed to be recoil. There's a perk that reduces it).
Great question. Anyone heard if this is the case?

Does anybody know when does the Upay version unlocks? What hour in what time?
According to a friend, you get a fake multiplayer hacking match in the story and then you don't get anymore.
It works right now as soon as you have your key.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
I have them all, all are good games but if I was gonna put them in a grade
tier 1: GTAV,Watch Dogs,RDR.
tier 2: Sleeping Dogs,LA NOIR.
Tier 3: Saint's Row, True Crime, Mafia
That's just my opinion so far, but yeah I would recommend SD,but not over WD at the moment, Watch Dogs may drop to second tier by time I complete but at the moment I think it's really good.
Well that sucks.

1)Without spoilers, what are the investigation missions?
2)is there more variety than FC3
3)Also is the game just immersive to walk around because I keep getting that feeling.

Appreciated! I got a laugh out of it too.
It seems buying the standard edition along with the season pass is the cheapest and best way around getting all the content. Man I really wanted that steelbook but the UPlay edition is out of stock.

Hehe i guess my 700 uPlay points will be used for the "Rewards" in watchdogs

Some of you guys need to go out a bit more.
Also, this type of realistic lighting is going to be more and more present in certain next-gen games that strive for a photo-realistic look, especially those open world games with 24 hours cycles.
I like it personally. Get used to it.
im wondering if its my pc spoiled eyes or my tv but the slight aliasing is prolly the biggest downer for me on the ps4 version. Apart from that i really dont see why people would explicitely say it looks bad. For an extended launch window open world game (which clearly sufferes from being cross gen) im happy and intrigued to see what Rockstar and co show us in the next few years

Anybody knows if the PS4 standby download bullshit thingy is actually working ?

Digital Deluxe or Gold is the way to go then but you'd be paying more than Retail Classic edition + Season pass for less content.
Question. I assume the retail copy doesn't have region protection, so does that make the purchase of the season pass from say an US account compatible with a UK retail copy? Anyone tried this before?
PSN's Gold Edition is the pick of the bunch, followed by the DDE.
Ps4 streaming again. Same bad player, new day.
Going to do a bunch of 1v1 stuff.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention, the first three exclusive PS missions are standard "download while tailing a target" missions (meh) while the fourth is a pretty cool gang hideout.
Overall I'd say other versions aren't missing much. But the gang hideout is pretty good(two targets instead of the usual one).
Edit: oh, we do get the "Superior Capacity" hacking boost for completing, which amounts to an additional battery. Not sure if that means PS versions have one more battery slot than the others, though...

Yeah, I kinda like what I heard so far. Funny enough there was one song with lyrics like "We're so sick of all those old ideas" (forgot the name/artist). Broad hint?
So far, I like the game but the gameplay doesn't feel extremly fresh to me but solid. Had a few cool moments tho, i.e. I was chasing a thief but almost gave up since I fell behind quite a bit. Guy tries to cross the street, I hack the traffic lights and lucky as he is the thief gets hit by two cars at once lol
I also noticed a random car crash with the drivers getting out and arguing, thought it was pretty cool, haven't seen something like that in the last Open World games I played

I wasn't sure where to post this, whether in here or in B/S/T, so I'm posting in both.
I ordered a video card last night that comes with Watch Dogs on PC. However, I already have it preordered on Steam/Uplay. I was wondering if there was someone here who was already going to buy Watch Dogs on PC who would be willing to buy me Wolfenstein. I'll give said person Watch Dogs (when it arrives, which should be Tuesday or Wednesday) and a $10 game of their choice.
If posting that in this thread isn't okay, let me know and I'll edit. Otherwise, PM me. You'd be a big help.

Will there be a Steam pre-load?
That's the million-dollar question. Ubi has offered pre-loads for its "AAA" games in the past but the clock is ticking. There's no point asking Ubi, either, as ever since the Black Flag region-lock snafu last year apparently whenever there's a question or issue regarding Steam the official line is "Ask Steam", which is patently stupid when it comes to matters regarding say, oh, the availability of the game in the UK.
My advice to others who have pre-ordered on Steam is to just download the cracked version of the game so if there's to be no pre-load, or if a pre-load period would already be too little, too llate, then you're not wasting hours on release day downloading data. Instead you can: Create a Watch_Dogs folder in steamapps\common -> Move the data from the cracked installation into the folder -> Install again -> Wait as Steam "discovers existing files". You'll likely have to re-download some data due to the nature of how cracking works, but the bulk of it should pass Steam's validation check.

Seems like a pretty good game after playing an hour, but the car controls? Man what were they thinking? They're just awful, i don't know how else to describe them. This alone ruins a big part of the game for me..
The graphics also left me a bit disappointed, especially since Morin said that the final game would look like the e3 2012 gameplay video. Playing on PC with high settings and it looks nowhere near that good i'm afraid.

How are people finding the songs? I am pleased so far.

Now that we see a proper HQ PS4 stream, game looks $&@% incredible. City's gorgeous, very detailed.
No doubt in my mind, downloading Gold PSN edition likes there's no tomorrow.
That looks awesome mate.
Question, with Green Man gaming, when do they send out uplay codes? On the 27th, Aus time which is the 28th for us or 27th US time?
Uplay doesn't support pre-loading so I'd guess the keys will be sent out at some point on the 27th UK local time as GMG is based in the UK.
How are people finding the songs? I am pleased so far.
Nas - One Mic
Mike Golden & Friends - No Number
Kid Cudi - Day 'n' Nite
2 Chainz - Feds Watching (Feat. Pharrell)
A few of the songs I like.
Got the times wrong and you still knew what I ment haha, cheers mate.
Someone pay this guy to fly to Chicago so he can walk around the Loop and point his phone at traffic lights and cameras.
Tuned in to your stream for a few minutes... don't want to spoil too much. Good quality and you do a good job of making this game look really fun. I'm getting more and more excited for Tuesday.
Pretty much just exposed how unbalanced the tailing missions are going to be. I mean, just running away and picking out the guy who is trying to keep up sucks for the person doing the tailing.
