What are possible settings for Watch Dogs 2?
Cities that are already under heavy surveillance or cities that are on the verge or 'make a case' for ctOS? What about across the pond in the UK?

Recently, the W_D facebook page posted this image.

UK/London would be an awesome setting.

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

New York

 

[Radec]

I wish outside the US.

Maybe London or Paris.

 

[NYR]

I don't think that is a spoiler about a possible location - Camden is under 24/7 hour surveillance, in real life.

 

[Jackpot]

Not New York, Washington, San Francisco or LA. So sick of those places.

 

[L1NETT]

Gotta be Hackney then

I mean cmon

Hack-ney

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Montreal.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

London.

 

[JordanN]

The game was made in Canada, it's time to give back.

As a NJ resident, it's not a very interesting place.

How about you we focus on improving gameplay mechanics before bringing up the prospect of having WD2 in a different setting..

 

[McDougles]

Their social media has been tweeting about surveillance within major cities for more than a year now.

Not sure if OP was thinking this was a viable game option or just brought it up because they were prompted to think about a sequel location. If the former,

I remember hearing some fake rumor about Las Vegas and I guess that would be pretty cool.

Well it's going to be in a different setting so why not talk about it?

My hope Singapore for something different.

 

[J 0 E]

London would be great

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Montreal.

You know what why not make a new AC there too? The War of 1812 would be sweet to play in.

But yeah I want a Canadian city this time like Montreal or Ottawa.

 

[Slowdive]

London would be good.

Watch Dogs: Edmonton

Collect 100 trashed Oilers jerseys from dumpsters

 

[EroticSushi]

I can see London and Paris working out great. Black out of the Eiffel Tower.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

A kennel.

 

[Recall]

Italy.

 

[explodet]

Los Santos.

Barring that, Steelport.

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

Give me Texas or give me Death.

Or like, I'unno, France? I'd be cool with France.

quiet-you!

South Jersey Represent

 

[Gorillaz]

Most cities in Jersey would be an ideal choice, I"m from AC and I would be interested in seeing AC as a spot.

I want something down in new orleans tho but whatever

 

[Jito]

Not another American city, Chicago was so boring. That might just be because they made a boring game though.

 

[TelluricTokoro]

Um, China again. That's what I hope, at least.

 

[Tenki]

I rather have a more exotic place. I'm tired of American/Western Europe cities. If it's the US again I prefer cities like L.A. or Las Vegas than cities like Chicago or New York.

 

[malfcn]

The image prompted the discussion.
There is also this image, for ants.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

Ultra with 16x MSAA

 

[Rocketz]

Literally anywhere in the world besides New York City.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Tokyo?

 

[adampa1006]

Honk Kong like Sleeping Dogs

 

[Currygan]

[Angelus Errare]

S.Korea with a Korean main character.

 

[TheSpoiler]

They should return to Chicago and do it right this time.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

London except it doesn't really resemble London at all.

 

[Spaghetti]

another american city is exactly what i'd expect from a dull and uninspired watch dogs game.

 

[GoodlifeX]

They should return to Chicago and do it right this time.

I would totally embrace this. Also huge slap in the face.

 

[Mr-Joker]

Are we going to be able to tell when they downgrade the game? Hur hur hur.

Honestly I am hoping for Edinburgh, getting sick of games set in the US and London doesn't fun either.

 

[funkypie]

where ever it is, I won't buy it. one watch dogs game is enough for my life time.

 

[Hypemaster]

Somewhere in Alabama.

 

[Castcoder]

Milwaukee please.

Spoiler

Just kidding. Wisconsin is boring... Sigh....

I'd love it if they did a London setting, but at the same time - speaking as someone who's been to London 13 times (coming 14) in the past three years and who wants to eventually live there at somepoint - it'd need to be done from inch-to-inch, mile-to-mile because I want a perfect replica of that city (also partly why I loved The Getaway's free-roam mode). Underground included too please.

But the one thing I worry about, speaking as someone who liked Watch Dogs and feel there's a really good core concept to build upon for the sequel, is that Chicago didn't feel like it had a personality to it. Whereas with London, it's immediately obvious, albeit up for interpretation as to what that personality is. Not to mention, IMO, Chicago felt 'too small' in the game. For a city as big as Chicago, I was expecting a lot bigger.

 

[dyergram]

What about if it's set in all the places from the poster and not open world?

 

[botty]

If Rockstar won't get their shit together and take us back to Vice City, then Ubisoft better capitalize on this very lucrative opportunity.

 

[blackdevil]

Tokyo would be cool.
