They really should have had a greater variety of traps though. Most of the time in car chases, it's press hack to win as soon as the blue prompt comes up.

Hahaha. Very funny.
Continue to have fun with the game but continue to add to my list of grievances. The game is nearly buckling under a massive list of "small" problems.
why do car radios turn back on when I re-enter a car? I almost never want to listen to the radio. tired of turning these off.
why can't I switch weapons without whipping the gun out and scaring everyone? like, why? I can do it in a car but not on foot.
why can't I climb up this?

Someone rushed through in about 15 hours - the game implements side quests and content so well that I've sunk that much time in and have only done 1/4

Yep. That kind of thing really annoys me in games. It makes no sense.
For those who are playing the game, does the PS4 version look like this?

This is not the E3 2012 reveal but another gameplay demo.
So, is it a fair representation of the final product on ps4 or even pc?

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Watch Dogs, like so many other open world games, shits me with how limited the otherwise awesome looking first person driving camera is. I don't always use it, but I like to. It's nice for immersion, and the perspective gives me an sense of control that third person does not. I don't need super fancy details or animations, even though Watch Dogs goes the extra mile to make it look great. What I do need is the ability to look around.
I assume it's limited due to interior car modelling issues, but goddam: open world games, please take note. If I can enable first person driving, please give me free camera control that lets me look around just as a person can do in real life. It's infuriating to be locked to a forward perspective.

It honestly surprises me how many people are having trouble with the cops. I've never had a problem escaping them. If you cant do it by car getting on the train or a boat has worked every time for me. Just hack the train to get on then hack it to start back up and ride away...

I think even this looks a bit better than the final version. The fence climbing, the electricity and the struggle aren't as detailed as here. Lighting is more outspoken too.

I still haven't got my Untouchables costume from the game.co.uk pre-order so I've emailed Ubi to see if they can assist. I'm thinking it's probably because I redeemed the code on Xbox.com before I had the game? I don't know. I didn't have the gun from the Monster promotion either but I just got another code and it worked - I now have the gun in my acquired items list.
I tried the free roam multiplayer last night with two friends. I highly recommend it for just arsing about and having a laugh

Nobody leaves challenge in my experience, servers are busted and they are keep disconnecting players.

Gaz is still trolling it up on twitch with his invasions, he's close to untouchable at this point:

You can turn the autoplay off for music in the game options under Audio and Language.
I should have probably pointed out that I am doing a mission where I have to steal a car and outrun them which I cannot seem to do.
Stop trying to outrun them early on; invest skill points in the offensive stuff for hacking in cars, and occasionally when you go past lights you'll get a prompt to "disable" the persuing cops. Or, find gates and open them and close them behind you. Lift bridges when you get the skill. It gets easier, but I'll admit, it was hard at first.

Not enjoying the car chases at all. Last night in a mission I had to take down someone and had 4 other cars chasing me. It went on for about 10 minutes of driving around before I even got the notification to disable traffic lights. In the end I had to cause a crash myself quickly get out and kill everyone then chase after the car again for another 5 minutes which then ended up blowing due to me ramming it constantly down a hill into trees.
I really wish they added shooting from windows because its not enjoyable. Especially when the other cars chasing you are shooting non-stop.
The fence climbing detail still looks the same, managed to do it the other night.

What's your notoriety like? I think it was mentioned earlier in this thread that you get more if you get your morality in the red, but I read it like you need to get your online notoriety high enough and then you get more hacks.
The only way to get more invasions is to do more invasions and win them it would seem.... And hope Uplay works without issues one of these days.
Oh is that how it works? Hah, I'm holding off invading people until they fix those game-breaking bugs I've been hearing about. I hope that doesn't rule me out entirely of getting invaded. My single player morality is high in the good side too.

Are you hacking anything?
Escaping the cops is not a case of driving as fast as the car allows and hoping it is faster than the cops' car. You need to plan routes and hack the surroundings to disable the cops.
Side note: can you put your gun away? I couldn't figure it out other than by getting in a car.

How is this running on the ps4? I have a capable PC but I enjoy playing these types of games better on console.

Runs incredibly well on PS4, I recommend it.
I've had 2 in a week after playing for about 3 hours a night and my online notoriety is very low, so you still get some. One of them was on Friday though, so with how few of us were online at the time, I'm shocked I didn't get a couple more.
My morality is in the red though. I can't help mowing down everyone I see.

That's to select a weapon? Maybe I'm holding it down too long...
The best way to escape in a car, at least for me (since I suck at using the blockers, etc.) is to use the bridges. Jump the gap and they will go around which should give you enough time to hide or get away.

Are there cheat codes? I go on rampages once in a while and can't escape the fuzz.

Why does it matter? Looking to to start a downgrade conversation AGAIN?
Unfortunately not. Hopefully Internet streaming radio or the ablity to play your own tracks will be added or modded in as I am sure most people agree that the licensed tracks are awful. In WD2 they need to have radio stations and not this weird mix of rap, hiphop, top 40, and whatever Alice Cooper is now.
The original game score is quite good though.

Who would have thought that hide and seek with fancy graphics would be one of my favourite gameplay experiences this year.
I like the current set up since you can create a play list of only the songs you like
with the random news update every now and then
Yup, it's tap the button to holster/unholster, hold to select.
Gaz is epic

Until you get decent upgrades, cop chases are a pain in the ass. Planning your route matters little when the rubberbanding has them catch up to you. Either hop on a bus (or a train, but that's under the assumption you are by ones) or hope they give up, because sometimes the game glitches and they just stop chasing me.

Still really enjoying this.
There seems to be tons of car chases though. Good thing I enjoy them. It's nice to evade, then walk out into the street and see multiple steam pipes still spewing into the air, along with other assorted chaos.

Cop chases are great from the start, imo.
Ever seen the film Drive? Remember the way the driver eludes police at the start? If you don't have th upgrades to make a burn out easier, then stealthing down ally ways and hiding while patrols pass is the way to go.
The road block style missions are amongst my favourite as this tactic makes them incredibly tense.

I didn't think cheat codes actually exist anymore tbh (last game I knew that had them that I've played was Skyrim via console commands).
If you want cheats you'll probably score using a trainer or something.
