Yeah what the hell was that? Watch Dogs I know but I didn't buy it was gameplay. Was it concept gameplay or what, looked way too amazing. He was playing it on a PC controller I think?

[Crazybone126]

What the hell console is Watch Dogs on? He TOTALLY was playing on a Xbox PC controller. Had to have been. Current console can't look like that. They just can't.

[Gribble-Grunger]

Watch Dogs looks fantastic!

[solidsnakejej]

It was a 360 controllers, saw the colored buttons. Has to be Next Gen/PC, that looks way to good. Who would have imagine E3 being saved by Ubihard. Good show. Ubihard is at the top right now and will be tough to beat.

YouTube up

[masteratt]

Control's triggers looked off though, it wasn't 360 controller. You guys reckon Xbox720?

Other than Tobuscus twat Ubisoft was pretty good. But the doubt that the last shown game was nothing more than a concept, I am leaning towards EA. Both shows were good though, all games games games (too many sequels at EA though).

[Crazybone126]

I think that Watch Dogs gameplay was a concept demo or an introductory demo that was running on a PC, but being played with a Xbox PC controller.

Masteratt: Nah, I think that was DEFINITELY a 360 controller. Doesn't look like anything out of the ordinary to me.

Orrrrr...Maybe it was a *gasp* Wii U controller disguised to LOOK like a 360 controller to throw people off *gasp*

[Segitz]

I doubt it... why would they use a "720" controller for a game shown now, when a 360 pad works perfectly well now?

[solidsnakejej]

Not a concept

At E3 on Monday, Ubisoft unveiled a new core IP in the form of an open world stealth action game called Watch Dogs.

The game is being developed by Ubisoft Montreal, the triple-A studio behind Assassin's Creed III and Far Cry 3.

The game plays out like a modern spy movie, with players using a number of tools -- and weapons -- to to get details on in-game NPCs in order to make their way to their target.

I thought it was WiiU at first until I saw the colourful buttons. Triggers weren't 360 from what I saw. Maybe just a PC joypad that had colourful buttons? Are they allowed to show 720/PS4 games just like that?

Needless to say I am a bit like woah / wtf. One of the best moments of E3 far as shock and just shaking my reality.

[Raitei]

That looked fucking sick. Great concept, really good looking game.

[Crazybone126]

Hmmm, then... Ummm. Well, I guess we shouldn't expect this game anytime soon though. Doesn't have any consoles listed nor was there even a projected release window. I wonder if it's going to be on the show floor. Should be.

[TEEDA]

it' was played on a 360 controller ( maybe Next gen dev kit ? ) or pc


atch Dogs, a new title from Ubisoft Montreal, was just announced during Ubisoft's pre-E3 press conference. The game was being played with an Xbox 360 controller during the presentation; however, it looked remarkably better than any console title we've seen to date. Could this be our first hint at the next generation? Ubisoft announced no platforms. It also looks like there may be drop-in-drop-out multiplayer, which is always a welcome addition.

source joystiq.

[masteratt]

No idea, press release or floor info soon I hope....Doubt it'll be on floor though if it's next-gen.

and it's for current gen and PC
You know this how? Looked too good to be current-gen.

"we can assume" is not confirmation.

[solidsnakejej]

The scene in the rail after he kills the guy makes this obviously not possible on current consoles, though one of the pedestrians when he walks out side is floating so it's real gameplay.

[TEEDA]

according to xboxgen they saw those controllers

[Crazybone126]

Did anyone notice like JUST while people were watching and thinking "What console is this on" the demonstrator tilted the controller down as if saying "Hey, see those colorful buttons?!" He did it RIGHT when people were saying "No way is this current gen."

Edit: If they saw those controllers, then it could have been ANY console. I believe you can literally swap around EVERYTHING on those controllers. Buttons, sticks, everything.

According to IGN, the Watch Dogs press release has no consoles listed.

[solidsnakejej]

Remember this is suppose to be a open world game. This scene alone is impossible with the near lack of aliasing and the damage on the cars and lighting on those damage part, in particular the blue car hitting the pole

according to some website it's indeed a first pic at a first next gen title. An open world game taking place in Chicago

Listed as PS3 PC and 360 on their press site.

[solidsnakejej]

^^where, I can't find it on their press site

They went a long way from the start of the show

[Crazybone126]

IGN said the press release doesn't have any consoles listed. And the official site doesn't either.

[BahnNZ]

That'll be the PC version, running on a pair of 680s or 7970s, behave.

What? We were all saying it was PC from the start. We were saying it was a PC game being played with an Xbox controller. That was the 100% consensus. I'm confused.

[GTAce]

To be honest, beside the depth of field and the anti aliasing I don't see it a generation ahead.
The damage on the cars could've been scripted and the rain reflections are nothing we haven't seen already.
Don't get me wrong, of course it looks better than what PS360 can do, but it's mostly the DOF and the first next-gen titles need to be more impressive than that to me.

[D3adcell]

I am impressed. Looks great.

[venomv]

I think is likely being made to be ported to next gen from Sony and MS. It could already be in the works for WiiU, but we still don't know enough of it's capability, we should no more soon. Personally I would bet I think WiiU will be capable of that.

And a PC release in the mean time will only benefit them if it's good.

[GTAce]

Watch Dogs will come to PS360 and PC!!! Just announced on Speak.

[Segitz]

PC, yay^^


xenobytezero (Euan Robertson)
@jeffgerstmann @taswell Yves Guilemont just confirmed Watch_Dogs for PS3, 360, PC and "we'll see", stage demo was played on a high end PC.

So it's "next gen" too... can't be any different.
