Watch Dogs 2 Trailer Leaks on Twitch

The vitriol towards a perceived appeal to youth culture never stops surprising me.

What is it about this particular marketing angle that upsets people so much?

It's fine if you don't personally care for the tone they're going for, but this much negativity seems excessive.

You see it all over. It's not just a gaming thing. People just can't accept that they are old now and not everything is marketed at them.

Hell, I won't lie, I'm not looking forward to playing as a protag in skinny ass jeans either, but he looks hella more masculine than the typical FF hero.

I don't think I want this even a little bit. I hope they show some footage with leaves rustling in the autumn and a dark city glistened in fresh rainfall.

Stupid music and people walking around does nothing for me.

I get what people mean when they say that the trailer is trying a bit too hard to be cool but it's nowhere near as bad as I thought it'd be based off the reactions I heard beforehand.

Interested to see if the parkour stuff translates directly into the gameplay in any way.

If they pull a Far Cry and get rid of the rain and weather effects, I'll be pretty upset.

I loved just wandering around and soaking in the atmosphere of the first game. The rural areas were better than the city environments IMO.
 
Disappointed its a CG trailer, was hoping for gameplay, maybe at E3 they will show the real thing.

It's an ad so it's kind of logic it doesn't really show gameplay. It's not the reveal trailer or anything. I'm not saying the reveal trailer won't be CG either (it will probably be CG and they'll keep the gameplay for their conference) but this is just an ad that leaked.
 
I dunno, it looks like a better angle than the "dour anger man causes wanton destruction for situation he caused/continues to cause" from the first game.

Like, if anything, that they're trying to make the new character in any way appealing shows that they took some of the first game's criticism to heart.

I'll...keep an eye on it? It'd be great if this was this franchise's Assassin's Creed 2/Brotherhood. Or better, AC: Syndicate.

God this thing is gonna be rotten with tired internet memes, isn't it?

Going by the posts on the first page I thought it was going to be really bad, but i enjoyed the trailer

Definitely taking a different tone from the first game

Apparently it's all about being cool and starting a revolution? Not really what I'm interested in but better than revenge plot #200

this is fake right? because dear god that song is hot garbage. the anon-inspired group looks corny too but eh whatever.

i just hope they keep the gunplay and animation from the first game intact. that shit was lit, made the game pretty fun to play during combat encounters. the ubisoft missions and open world was a load of shit but the core gameplay was SOLID.

edit: omg it's real? lmao worst game trailer of the year.

Never played the first one because it looked boring to me.

I'm waiting for gameplay obviously but I dig the whole "fuck the system" vibe I'm getting from this CG trailer more than the generic antihero working in the shadows of the first game.

that makes me 4/10 interested in this game as of now.

Let's see how this evolves.
 
right....just odd to be making a song about disabled people i guess...

It's pretty messed up. For us foreigners, I think we all feel the same way when we see an American using 'spaz' as Americans do when they see another country obliviously using blackface in some weird old tradition. It's sort of a incredulous 'do you really not see how this is offensive?' feeling (and of course, they genuinely don't see how it is offensive).

I thought it was some kind of Need For Speed commercial for 12 y olds. Absolutely awful.

Oof. if you'd have told me that was a new Marc Ecko game I'd believe you. Not sure what that was suppose to be.

It's a wonder the first game didn't involve any remote controlled drones, which we now see in the new trailer. Really goes to show how they've exploded in popularity over the past few years.

The dlc had an RC car, but I see your point.
Drones are a much bigger deal than they were 2 years ago.

I honestly can't figure out if I liked the trailer or not, but I'd just like to point out:

1) we're all talking about it
2) we're all linking it to our friends
3) I personally watched it like 3 times
4) you'll never get "spaz if you want to" out of your head, ever


So.... .... ...mission accomplished..??

Looking forward to next week :)

I was hoping they would take some cues from Mr. Robot.


Although at least we ain't playing as 40 year old trench wearing wannabe badass.

Honestly, despite some extremely cringe-worthy moments, the gameplay possibilities explained here looks cool, like parkour for example (so FPS camera possibility ?)

I hope we can customize the main character (not just jackets...) or at least give us character customization for MP.

Trailer was alright, nothing special. Did it's job establishing stuff for a 30 second teaser. People going overboard though on the Ubi-hate calling this the worst trailer ever lol.

Now that was a horrible trailer and horrible music choice, in my opinion of course.

How many hours until todays reveal again?
