Just heard about this game and saw this short trailer ps3.mmgn.com/... dam it looks like it has some real potential to be a very interesting game. Open sandbox world, looks like there's many different ways to get around something or someone via hacking. Looking forward to seeing more on this game.

Good to see an original title for a change instead of the usual squeals we are so used to these days.

Can anyone confirm what platforms this is coming out on? I'm assuming the usual Ps3, 360, PC but I've also heard that smart phones might get a version as well.

Oh dear, why did you make a thread, I've been addicted to this game for the past day or so...

But uh, GameTrailers interviewed the Ubisoft CEO,
www.gametrailers.com/...

He said it'll be released on ''PS3, 360, PC and we'll see''. Not sure whether this means a possible release on the Wii U.. Or next generation consoles. But I'll most likely purchase this for the PC, and hopefully by then have a PC that can handle it. [Derp]

Yes! No matter what consoles it is being released on, I'm going to be playing it on PC definitely.

Assuming it's being optimised for PC. I don't think it will, though.

I have a feeling it will be optimised for the PC, considering it's debut was on a high end PC. I think it'll be ported from the PC to consoles.

We can only hope pandemic, but the control system already looks like its been made controller friendly.

This game does look great, I actually thought it was GTA IV when i was first watching it, very similar. I'd like to hear the story line behind it, and exactly what you are aiming at doing e.g. is it just assisnations?, during the game

I am personally OK with controller-friendly. I don't want some shitty port from Xbox -> PC, or PS3 -> anything.

Fingers crossed they look after the PC version with this game. I think developers have opened their eyes on how well PC games sell on steam so it would be silly not to make the extra effort.

I'm hoping this gets moved to Next Gen consoles, don't want this being cut down to work on current generation hardware, I want to see it at its best.

This is what I gathered from the interview,

• The city itself will be used as a weapon - tap into any computers or infrastructure. Or the ''darkest secrets of the people living in Chicago.''

• The demo shown was just one example of what the players can do to achieve their objective.

• Aiden Pierce isn't good or bad, but neutral.

• The example given is that by causing collateral damage with civilians getting killed, giving a bad image towards the player.
- The other way in killing the person that was shown in the trailer could have been by tracking the guy down in the parking lot, and take him down there.
- This gives the player the choice in how he approaches his missions

• ''Online is in the DNA of Watch Dogs''
- The motto - ''Everything is connected, and connection is power''

• Two people were playing during the demo, one was playing as Aiden Pierce, and another person was playing as another character, which had his own objectives, and ''crossed paths''. Basically, both players had their own objectives and crossed paths.

• Their wanting to blend in multiplayer, online and singleplayer, in ways that haven't been done before.

• Their game was inspired by other games, such as Assassins Creed, in reference to open world. Day to day news from Chicago was also an inspiration.

• Powers will grow as the game progresses, and you get more and more powerful as you progress.

• Left questions raised as to whether Aiden Pierce is the only person in the world of Watch Dog that has the powers that Aiden himself has.

• New IP, with three ingredients involved,
- Talented team
- Time, with it being developed for two years, but definitely not being shipped this year, so a lot more time is available.
- Awesome technology such as a new engine to give the designers new tools to allow new things and a lot of detail.

• City is based on Chicago - heavily inspired by Chicago. Very similar.

• Poor districts or more wealthy districts will influence how you play and approach missions.

• You choose what to do with the information you gather on the civilians around the city, so not all civilians have ''dark secrets'', but those that do, you'll be given the option to act on it, for side-missions.
- These ''dark secrets'' may include prior criminal convictions, etc.
- The city and the media will have an impact on how you take action.

• Definitely not being shipped this year.

• Will support ''multiple platforms''

Don't fret, if it's successful (good), I'm sure we will see at least 5 sequels on next gen in the next decade...

It is starting to get like that these days, they make games shorter and leave stuff out so they can either sting you for DLC or make another game because you wanted more from the first one.

Didn't find out until now, Ubisoft put up another version of the trailer. It's the same for the most part, but it goes for a shift to another character at the end.

They spoke of mixing single player and multiplayer so my assumption is that you can play the SP component online and other players are a part of a 12/24 player map in the game and have to carry out objectives that impact the SP campaign for you.

Merchandise - Stuff for consumers you can actually purchase this time!

Further to my previous blog with the promo marketing stuff (i.e. crap I give away to help promote the name but didn't really expect people to buy) I've now started selling shirts/clothes.
