Im feeling so mixed on the multi. It feels tacked on at the moment. Im hoping they push for more 4v4 modes.

More like Blacklist?
Looks like rewards are similar. Only penalty for killing seems to be that operations get messier.
Beat me to it.. lol.
Anybody try a "clean" non-GTA, no-killing runthrough yet? This seems to be a game I'd rather wreak havoc from the shadows than just blow everything up.

More like Panther style Blacklist.
Pretty much the only difference is that, for instance with random crimes, if you non lethally take out a guy, you get 250 more xp than if you killed him. Not large by any means.
OK I suppose it's fine as long as its like Human Revolution where the penalty doesn't matter. For games that emphasize choice it's ridiculous to me that I should be steered towards a non-lethal option.
Crazy VRAM usage. So you need 4GB VRAM for 1080p and Ultra with AA?
I know they're getting shat on for it, but I don't care. I'm glad devs are finally pushing the limits again, especially one like Ubisoft that doesn't have a PC focus. I'll play this with Ultra textures in the future.
I think it unlocks at 00:00 or 12:00AM EST on the US PSN store so I think at about the same time on the Xbox One
There are a few instances in the story where you have to kill people, but for the most part I've played it non-lethally- batonning guys, knee capping guys (haven't actually killed a cop yet), or avoiding them all together (which this game loves letting you do). My favorite moments have been when the game presents me with this huge area with tons of cover that looks like it belongs in a third person shooter, and then I hit the blackout hack and sneak past like 20 guys. Or when I'm supposed to "Defend the area while the hack completes, and a wave of guys rush in and I sneak around and take them all down stealthily.
It's reminds me a lot of Blacklist. I would advise everyone to play on Realistic as well, makes the game better, IMO.
My next playthrough I think I'm going to kill everyone though, as the shooting is really fun.
You aren't steered towards the non lethal options.
Though if you're going on murderous rampages and killing tons of civilians, there are some gameplay consequences (more people call the cops, more cops come).
hahaha that ending was great. This honestly got me so hyped for tomorrow. I had no idea motorcycle races were in the game and that looked like a ton of fun.
As long as you're being rewarded more for stealth (no alerts, no alarms, no bodies found, no kills), which is inherently more difficult then blowing someones face off with a shotgun, then i'm happy.

Good lord, that looked so damn good and played fun. Last time I took a bike for a spin was in GTAIV, haven't been on bikes in video games for a long long time. Your bike handling skills were good, it's unfortunate you crashed while trying to clear the last jump. Great gameplay thanks to you GAF!

It's not really steering you so much as giving you a higher reward for doing something more difficult. It's harder to pull off a non-lethal take down where you have to get close without being seen than shooting them from 100 feet away, for example. Therefore you get more XP.
I think it says a 12pm June 26th, at least for me it did
My Origin preorder used to say it would be available at 1pm on the 27th, but it now says 12:00AM, so it's been moved up. It's currently 1am in Korea, so I wonder if a VPN would work.
Have you seen the CoD ads that ran last gen? So 360 focused.

GMG pls.
So that would be around 06:00 AM here in The Netherlands
Yeah. I live in Finland and I got my alarm set to go off at 7AM. Such a shame I got 2 exams coming in two weeks...

That's a good question. I have been playing it and the XP popups appear all the time, whether you take down non-lethal stealth or shoot up the place. Haven't been able to notice if one approach rewards more XP than the other
Well physical it is then.

What imaginary limits are they pushing?
I've heard that if you sacrifice a beloved pet on your doorstep, UPS will appear within the hour with your copy.
What magic is this, early copy?

Just so you guys know, he's talking complete shit. I'm playing on Ultra w/SMAA @ 4K and average about 30fps+ on a single 780 3GB

Looks more like the former
Whoops, meant to say former >_>
On PS4 digital I could play the the first intro-ish part
until you are about to exit the stadium
Do I need to previously have announced the pets existence on Twitter or can I make one up and lie? It's dishonest, so I guess I'm asking for a friend, yeah?

I'm in, guys!
Eventually got the Special Edition for 49, because the store employees gave me wrong information this morning and I had to drive a second time to the store.

Try a VPN from Russia in 3 hours.
Try it with MSAA/TXAA as he mentioned in the tweet and see what happens.=p

The bikes seems to be the most manageable vehicles in the game. As long as you manage your speed in traffic (they turn really wide). Kind of bummed after playing The Crew at PAX, I thought that the vehicles would handle better in Watch Dogs. They all feel really floaty and slick to drive. Never get the feeling of the tires actually sticking to the ground.
Some game do launch on a Tuesday in the UK. Wolfenstein launched Tuesday last week!

So if I leave my ps4 in standby will the download magically start itself or do I have to manually do it?
It's a figure of speech, but I meant in relation to the past couple of years where practically every game without Crysis or Metro in its title was a breeze to max out on mid-grade hardware. Though, judging from the fact that people in the PC performance thread were having trouble running this game with Ultra textures on a Titan, I'd lean more toward it needing to be patched more than anything.
