No, it's an ad targeted to video game players that will play on streaming sites during the E3 season.
All the sudden Aiden isn’t looking so bad. Not liking the young hipster vibe but all the bitching about Aiden got us here I guess. I foresee a lot of cringeworthy dialogue. Nonetheless, I’ll be buying the game on day one... cause I'm the coolest and hippest mutherfucking 40-something year old I know...

I don't know how anyone can draw any conclusions from that 'trailer' in either direction.

Read most comments before watching. Thought typical overreactions, it can't be that bad.... WTF did I just watch. The dancing horse heads and skull masks are dreadful. Poor N.E.R.D. I am always amazed that something like this sees the light of day. That means the idea was thought of, shared with others, concepts presented and all of this was greenlit. Then it is made and people watch it and they think, "yeah this is cool." "See something say something!" So many people dropped the ball on this ha. Bad just bad. I wonder how the E3 crowd will react to this?

I would relate to a character like Harold Finch infinitely more than Ubisoft's choice. But I am obviously not hip and cool enough for that and I don't fit into the demographic they are appealing to. I am not sure if that was the correct thing to say. What do the cool kids say?

Trailer looks cool, but the song choice doesn't fit.

Looks horrible.
I had to wiki who that was, kinda like that song, but took me watching the video again before it caught me.

One more game about revolutionary young people doing shit all over the city... Well, its too much asking for "a discrete professional hacker takes the city" I guess.

I have no idea how to feel about this trailer.

My mind turned this into Sleeping Dogs 2. I'm sad now:'(.

Right. The diverse character is the only reason people are saying this looks bad.
Right.
The conclusion I drew is that there's going to be more parkour, which is fine by me.
Mr Robot is a PHENOMENAL show!
I am saying that the first game was riffing on Person of Interest and failed hard, and based on this short teaser, this one's gonna riff on Mr Robot... and (maybe) fail hard.
Yeah they definitely tried and failed to rip PoI. This one definitely seems to be surfing the Mr. Robot/FSociety wave.
Hopefully the protagonist isn't stale white bread this time around.

I'd hate to assume you can't read but I didn't imagine all of the posts crying about playing as some young, hip, and edgy scenester.
No, they want someone low-key and sophisticated.

After watching the trailer I'm kind of baffled by all the people on Twitter saying it "looks good."
There is literally nothing in that video that gives any idea what the game is like.

Well you heard him guys, we *have* to love this ad and the tone of it otherwise we don't like diversity.

The tone of the initial Watch Dogs reveal at 2012 E3 was incredible. But the narrative never backed it up in the final release.
I also think this actually looks quite fun. I think it's an easy thing for someone to hate because of the image it is going for. But I wouldn't actually say it's poorly executed.

I'm sorry for your iconic loss. (Nah)
the parkour kids, the anonymous kids, the skater kids, the techies, the hipsters, the old horsehead meme kids...everyooneenen
I thought Watch_Dogs couldn't get any worse stylistically. Good job Ubisoft.
I received the original as a Birthday gift and ended up actually telling the person 'I appreciate the gift, but that game fucking sucked and the only reason I completed it is because you got it for me'.
Don't think I'll be getting the sequel as a gift (or otherwise, based on this hip young hacker aesthetic I'm seeing), but I don't have any complaints about that.

I may not like it either, but I'm not going to create Twitter outrage over it and act as if Ubi is wrong for going this direction.

Yes. The complete shift away from Pierce is obviously a reaction to the internet outcry we get for this kind of thing.
In response Ubi are giving us millennial v-for-vendetta anonymous types that they think we will identify more with.
I actually enjoyed that the game was about being a vigilante in the truest sense of the term and playing a guy with grey morality going after guys who were worse and unraveling a bigger picture. I know a lot of people didn't like him, but this doesn't feel like an upgrade to me in anyway.
"Don't like Aiden? Now you can play as someone just like *you*"
Edit: Also, the "iconic" memes weren't funny when WD came out, they weren't funny six months after and they aren't funny now. If you think they are, then you are closer in representation to this new hacker protagonist than you realise.

I have no idea what Twitter outrage is, but if it's people saying "I don't like how this looks", which is what most people on here are saying, then I don't see the problem
