That's the guy who has been "uploading data" since the 24th, telling it would come "very soon".
Just saying.

Also, doesn't Edge reveal their next month covers a month before? So, in regards to April, this week? Pretty sure the teaser for April was WD.

UBI's stock is tanking again, what's going on (apart from the Ukraine)?
There are rumors that internal review scores had it pegged somewhere in the 70s, and they were hoping to get it into the 90s.
GTAV happened. The main theory is that WD lacked loads of content (even game mechanics?) compared to GTAV, thus the postponinng.

The lack of strip clubs
With a six month delay, surely it'd just be a polishing exercise. They wouldn't have had time to add content.
The rumors last year was that mock reviews were low (even some business analysts said it) and the PS3/X360 versions were terrible (technical performance and image quality) which Ubisoft feared would bring bad publicity for the game.
Not new content, but quite probably content that had been ditched during development to meet the deadline.

i don't think it was delayed cause of GTAV. The game just looked bad...just look at the TGS mission stream on youtube. it looks like a C grade game.
It will probably be a 6/10 or 7/10 game...nothing special

My hype for this is pretty low considering it is hitting after Second Son...Hopefully they upped the visuals...
I'm feeling the same... Gameplay looks extremely dull, and at this point the graphics won't be as alluring as they would have if it were a launch title.

I think the delay wasn't because the game was bad. I think it was fine. But they want this to become a franchise like AC, so they need great or amazing. Fine won't cut it.

It most likely would have sold a lot better as a launch title too
With 6 months of additional dev time and a rumored 600-person team, I wouldn't be that surprised if they added in additional content (side quests, expanding the world, etc.).

That'd be insane. What other games have made three E3 appearances...

Well.....you know you guys could show some new gameplay and we'll gladly forgive that kerfuffle.... Also maybe a release date!
70's? try 50's and 60's

Apologies in advance for the necro.
Just wanted to point out that after Ubi announced the new May 27th date, the art book for Watch_Dogs changed its release date accordingly.
The previous release date of 4/22 was too specific, different from all the other "placeholder" dates on other retail sites, and extremely similar to what we were hearing months back as to when WD might see a release (i.e. sometime in April). I'm thinking the publisher for the book got the date from Ubisoft as "that's when we're releasing", so going forward it might be worth it to keep an eye on the release dates for these types of books-- at least when it comes to Ubi titles since there is a definite pattern there of same-day releases-- in order to get a better idea of when a game is coming even if Ubisoft themselves are being tight-lipped.
