I just don't see the Next Xbox or Playstation console close enough for this to be even for those consoles. I don't even feel those consoles are developed enough for such a thing.

I feel right now, this may be a Wii U & PC title.

Well the studio is doing two other triple A games so who knows how much they've worked on this. I could see late 2013 early 2014 as a release date.

Trolling there, friend?

Confirmed to be PC also there is a different ending in the youtube video

Ha ha Wii U, comedian you.

Good time to be a PC Gamer, this is going to be incredible. Ubisoft have returned to greatness. They just need to set a date for Beyond Good and Evil 2 to be my new favorite company.

Nintendo need to have a machine capable of running this. I'm fairly confident they will, but Nintendo have been right tarts about their machine's specs!

**BahnNZ** · 06-10-2012, 08:28 AM

Well it'll run it. 360 will run it, question is how well. If it's a 2013/2013 release then you're real going to want it on your XBox Next/PS4 as a launch title.

This is a PC title running on a couple of GTX680s and a boss i7 Extreme or similar. Wii U Specs definitely not close, even vaguely, to the machine that was running that demo.

Tell you who I'm sorry for, the Sleeping Dogs guys. They may have to change the name again, their open world dogs been one upped.

**TimmyJ** · 06-10-2012, 09:13 AM

Agreed, Sleeping Dogs is facing another potential problem. Although, I reckon this game's title is likely to change come its release.

And when it comes to running this game, I think a game like this should provide the WiiU with a solid target to hit.

Damn that game looks beautiful.

I'm going to have to get another video card and crossfire them for this.

Most promising next-gen gameplay yet for me.

Out of interest what is you take on a GTA V vs Watch Dogs?

It is the first time in a very long time that i have seen a new element like electronics change up the usual range of dynamic gameplay possibilities in a open world game. That was fun to watch. The hot swap things tries to change things up in GTA V but other developers have failed miserably in the past trying it so what is your take? I am sure Rockstar will do better though but is it enough? Also should we be worried that last gen consoles like Wii U, PS3 and 360 could hold back elements like AI in Watchdogs? I didn't see anything particularly smart from enemies or pedestrians.

Anyway don't take this as a GTA bash comment. Both will probably be great but which game and development team do you think is pushing the boundaries more?

***masteratt*** · 02-21-2013, 10:40 AM

I've replied on the GTAV thread but will add here that you really don't need to add stuff like:

Anyway don't take this as a GTA bash comment.

As long as you give reason and thought behind your opinion, I never cared if you bash the game, and I love having a discussion about games and disagreements makes them more interesting (again, if done with respect). Note I did not backlash at your GTA rants previously and even agreed with some your points. But to me the game as a whole is so amazing they become non-issues.

Also let's not forget I picked Infamous over GTAIV as my favourite around 08-09, so I am not as big a GTA nutter as you might think. Don't get me wrong, I'll be like a kid waiting for Christmas leading up to the launch but I am not blind to it's flaws.

Back to Watch_Dog, developer made the game sound utter shite on PS3

So these cross-gen versions sounds like they will be "yeah it's for PS4 but just for money sake we'll put a version on previous gen".

**AC!D** · 02-21-2013, 10:45 AM

I hope the other elements feel next gen because i got the distinct impression that the character was walking through Assassins Creed level AI scripting. It is about time we got an update on this from Ubisoft for next gen. I love their games but the AI needs work.

**curryking1** · 02-21-2013, 02:58 PM

I feel like I'm the only one who didn't think Watch Dogs didn't look that hot, but I also feel like I'm just missing something.

The sheer wonder of Infamous and others stole the show for me. I mean Watch Dogs looks really good visually and everything, but I think also the idea of it hasn't captured me very much. I'm not that interested in more GTA type games other than GTA personally. I think the dark, serious tones of some games is gradually turning me off from all those types of games now.

I agree Infamous looks the best of the whole bunch but weren't you just a little impressed by the hacking electronics dynamic? How he takes out the car with the barricade or changing robot signals. Hell my imagination is spinning to ideas of cutting power and stealthing Sam Fisher style in darkness to take out targets in a building. Hacking drones for awesome firepower. Causing subway crashes. Taking out jet liners. It could be good fun.

Still i am thinking maybe the multi generation development might be holding it back a little in certain aspects.

Watch dogs for me was less a visual treat and more the gameplay thing. Hack everything just seems cool. How can you not like pulling the road blocks right before the cop cars plowed into it?

**curryking1** · 02-21-2013, 07:22 PM

I just watched the HD video actually.... I think I'm gonna say the graphics actually do look really good, it was much more stunning in direct feed HD. I think the visuals were lost on me watching the sort-of-HD stream....

^^Yea I was impressed, I just think I missed out how sharp it looked from the stream version lol.
