What makes people think it's a next-gen title?
I don't think that was co-op, more like a multiplayer mode.

Hopefully it's released on Wii U (and isn't a crappy port). I'll be picking one up end of the year so I'll be playing it on that. If not, I'll just wait until end of 2014 to play it on the PS4 for bomba prices.
At E3 last year they said it had been in development for 2 years, so it has been worked on for a long time.
Because it looks way better than anything available right now.
I want to believe

I don't know, games that are on everything have rarely been optimized well for every platform.
Good thing my N64 still has its expansion pack installed!
That aside, I did not expect this to be released this year. Nonetheless this is great news. One of my most anticipated games, also because it's located in CHICAGO!

It looks like an average AAA game for PS3 or Xbox 360 to me.
I don't know how they looked, one looked like this:
Seems like he is normally wearing (huge) glasses.
it better be released this year, announcing it at E3 last year was an indication its a launch period title for next gen. ubi likes to do something like that.
if anything, i think it would be a much more elaborate uncharted with the scripted sequences and cinematic setpieces being manipulated by the player with the hacking device.

What? The footage we've seen is the enhanced PS4/720 version. The 360/PS3 versions will be downgraded.

Pretty sure you've done this before. Apologies if not.
This is a game; we've seen things like this before and for yonks. We will always see this sort of stuff.
Next? This was an early version, working on how the character finally interacts with the world is the important part.

me? it's the first time I see this.
It's a fun fact, not a critic of a small glitch in a game under development 18 months away from completion.

Halo 4, Uncharted 3, God of War 3, Beyond: Two Souls, Red Dead Redemption, etc.

No, and that's the only legit comparison.

I can't wait for Digital Foundry to do a comparison. Maybe that'll show people.
I think WD is a generation ahead of those games.

You're comparing linear first person shooters and action games to it. Look at open world games only.
RDR doesn't come close to it, I can't see how anyone can come to that conclusion.

Sleeping Dogs, GTA V?

He never said it would.
EDIT: Seems to me some people need to watch the actual Watch Dogs video instead of trying to judge from GIFs.
No, no, no, no, no, etc.
The footage shown is a clear step above what current consoles are capable of running.
Those are all different, less demanding styles of game, except for Red Dead, and that doesn't look anywhere near as good.
E: way beaten
Not even close to being correct with any of those. Not even the big PS3 exclusives, most of which are pretty linear anyway.
Sleeping Dogs on PC looks nice from what I've seen, but on consoles it's ugly.
GTA V looks nice, but you can tell it's a 360/PS3 game. Doesn't look as nice as that initial Watch Dogs video.

consoles that existed when that poster was made is my guess

You said average, but you list the best looking console games. You also are comparison corridor shooters, linear ass games to open world game like Watch Dogs.
WD comes out on top regardless, but the only good comparison there is RDR which is set in an empty wasteland and not very impressive compared to WD.
Why would they stop? My guess is if it's coming to Wii U then they have been working on Wii U version for some time, no reason to scrap it, they still supporting the system (hell even Rayman is technically supporting the system despite the shitty delay)
Doesn´t even matter which one you take, all f them get blown away by Watch Dogs. Much higher poly count, much better iq, better effects/lighting, animations, more moving objects on screen, depth of field etc.

I said average AAA games, of course they're going to be the best-looking.
I really think that the Gamepad as a hacking device might get a great implementation. Just look at the "god mode" in the NFS. Touch to switch the traffic lights, touch to interrupt communications ... should be the right thing to do. I am getting this on Wii U if it will be available.
As for the game not being cross-gen, you really think Ubisoft will make this game with quite a large budget (being in development for 3 years already) available only on 2 consoles with a total installation base of maximum 2 million people (more realistic figure is probably 1.2 - 1.5 million)?

Am I the only one who really hates the main character of this game, based on that E3 video? It's like if a dude who wears fedoras wrote fan-fiction about himself.
Yeah, GTAV looks ugly. I don't know why they were showing off 'glamour' shots as if anything from that game is technically impressive nowadays.
Sleeping Dogs on PC is basically what I expect Watch Dogs to look like, but with a bit more consistency. There are areas in it that look straight next-gen, especially when the weather effects get to work, and then you have those that say it's very much an obvious console port. The models for the focal characters are always ridiculous, though.

What about my Atari? I mean I played border lands Atari. I forget the number I think its a 2600 with a woodish finish.
You can't compare it to games like Halo 4 though. GTAIV and Saints Row are the best comparisons, and Watch Dogs looks generations ahead of those games.
And? PC and PS4/720 versions will be the same, and be downgraded to run on the 360/PS3.
