Watch Dogs - GTA meets Deus Ex?

[Josquius]

While it looked rather nice and I'll definitely be paying attention to it, I enjoyed the emotional heft of 'The Last of Us' more :

That one's one to watch.

hmm....sure looks cool but I fear the gameplay is rather generic.
And you just know you're gonna be hating that kid, always acting stupid and getting herself killed.

Though I wonder what the relation between the characters are...they don't seem to be father and daughter....and the name...the last of us...I suspect Siegebreaker territory...

Looks great

So this looks like it is finally dropping this month. Anyone still following this? I just saw on wikipedia that it has received 173 pre-release awards. Most hyped game ever?

[Razgovory]

I still don't know what it's about.  As far as I can tell, you are a guy with a magic smart phone who rides on the top of trains rather then inside them.

TL;DR: Ubisoft wowed everyone with the look of Watch_Dogs at E3. Later, they used inferior assets for the PC version, but apparently made the mistake of leaving the E3 assets in the game.

...massive discoveries/improvements. He has discovered that almost all of the shaders and improvements seen in 2012 and 2013 are still in the game files, such as the e3 2012 explosions. For now he has managed to implement dynamic shadows from headlights, the increased rain density, increased NPC density, as well as 2012 e3 bloom and lens flare.
When he manages to unpack certain files, he will be able to activate everything, such as POMs, etc.

And (from same thread):

One other thing just surfaced, game is double loading textures on pc, in order to maximize video memory usage. This has been causing stuttering in the retail version. Mod removes this idiocy.

[garbon]

Typical.

But yeah, I've stayed away from this one for now. From what I've read - sounds like bargain bin is where it'll be at.

[Syt]

Yeah, reviews indicate that it's an ok, not a great game.

I passed.  Massively overhyped, apparently.

[DGuller]

I figured as much from the lame previews.  Games that don't show real gameplay in previews are probably hiding something.

[Caliga]

I'm guessing Ubisoft hired Peter Molyneux to consult for them on the game's marketing.

[Valmy]

I would hire him.  He knows how to sell bad games.

Ubisoft never mentioned it but it's basically Assassin's Creed in Modern times. Something they've excluded doing so far.

[Caliga]

I like Assassin's Creed.
