TheMightyEthan Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Yes, because we were all 100% serious about it making sense in an IRL kind of way, and not just saying it would have been amusing. Don't take everything so seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday Next Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 But the internet connected guy seeing the quarters leave one registered person's hand and enter another registered person's styrofoam cup would register on the database. ...but he would have to change the values in the database himself. Why the fuck would he do that? I was rather thinking that it was done automatically, like everyone is taking in all this data, but only he has hacked his implants or what have you to be able to see it all. Like how my phone is pretty much constantly broadcasting my location and the location of my friends, but I only see it in a meaningful way when I open my Google Latitude app. If all the AR data he was presented with took a concious effort to call up then I can't imagine he'd bother.

Hot Heart Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 'Alternative' perspective on that last gameplay video (sort of explains some of the background). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 The idea of them upgrading their network security at some point in the game makes for a non-stupid reason why the hero might lose his abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Yeah I'd assume going from conventional gameplay progression (and I'm swearing I'v e written my thoughts on this down before now) that you'll start with basic hacking abilities, with more expanding as story progresses, be it gaining new codes or better phones or what not. And same happens with the enemies(assuming they're that) in upgrading security meaning basic hacks started the game with likely won't work in future. It's sort of "Uplink: The Open World Version" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 6 minutes of gameplay. Shows a fair few neat "hacks". Though it's a bit silly there's physical controls for the scissor lift right there and he goes and hacks it with his phone anyway. The player does bring up a good point with next to no main story being mentioned so far. Which is quite nice actually I guess, though I'd hope there is one cos I have a feeling the hack stuff and "emergent gameplay" would only entertain for so many hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Holy shit you can follow people without actually having to follow them! GOTY! I always hate that in games. I should probably put that in the tropes that need to go thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldorf and Statler Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I wouldn't mind if it's done ala Cowboy Bebop. Maybe have a very light main story sprinkled in while it's basically him doing missions, then eventually after X hours of gameplay add a main story mission, then so on until you eventually have the choice of finalizing the main plot.

TheMightyEthan Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 As soon as we get confirmation of the differences between the current and next-gen versions of the game, and which on the PC version is, I'm pre-ordering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalCaveman Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 As with pretty much every game shown during E3, you'll be able to use your tablet/smartphone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 For those who aren't going to bother watching: You use it when you're not playing the game. Or your body does. Both to aid you... and to fuck with you if they choose. It's an opt-in feature for the player who is playing in-game. Sounds pretty cool, really. Not intended as a time-sink or a major feature.

deanb Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 http://wearedata.watchdogs.com/start.php?locale=en-EN&city=london Some game marketing stuff.

Hot Heart Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 A new feature on the hacking. And IGN has a short interview with a producer on the game. /wantthisgamealready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 I could have sworn someone had already posted this, but if so I can't find it. Looks fucking awesome. Though the part about wanting the player to question their own morality kind of amused me; unless the game systems penalize me or characters express sadness over my actions I will steal every single thing that's not nailed down without one single shred of remorse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Delayed till Spring 2014. They must have known about this for awhile since it takes nearly a month to certify, manufacture, and ship world wide. Strange that they wait till now to delay it. I wonder if GTA V set the bar too high for modern-city open world games so they delayed to either A) distance from GTA or B) improve the game?

I wonder if GTA V set the bar too high for modern-city open world games so they delayed to either A) distance from GTA or B) improve the game? Could be that Ubisoft's own game, AC4, might overshadow it. Either way, even though I really want to play the game, I am OK with waiting. Partly, so it is as polished as it can be but also because I may have a PS4 by then and that version will probably perform better than my PC. Or I'll have a better PC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Yeah good point. Ass Creed and Watch Dogs are both open world games, one is a new IP the other is established, so releasing them at the same time could cannibalize their sales.
