I am excited about the game but I am less excited about the promotion of the game
Before the game got delayed a sketchy giant bomb user presumably a ubisoft employee bumped 20 watchdogs threads promoting aiden pierce's leather jacket!

Sleeping Dogs was such an awesome third person martial-arts-shooter. The story line for me was fantastic and I was surprised to get sucked into this game after worrying that I might not like it. Definitely worth every penny of it.
The side quests were really tedious towards the end though.
Watch Dogs will go beyond that. I am sure of it.

The only thing that definitely will be fine are next-gen sales. The craving for a proper AAA title is huge and I guess Infamous/Titanfall won't occupy living rooms forever. Driveclub still M.I.A. with rumored June release.
Wii U is going to be stronger contested with MK8 & Smash.

Late April is my guess.

I'm still hyped about the game. I don't see why everybody talks about downgrades. I've watched all the trailer just recently and there are just some minor differences.
I think this is a perception problem. When the first Watchdogs trailer hit, it was one of the first, if not the first, next gen game we saw, so the graphics blew us away. When the others hit we've seen more next gen stuff and what we saw, even though it looked pretty much like what we saw in the 1st trailer, didn't wow us anymore.
I really hope they used the additional months work all out all the flaws. My main concern is that gameplay and quests are too much like Assassins Creed.

I hope they release it as far away from AC as possible.

Sleeping Dogs was one of my favorite games of last gen. It was a big surprise that came out of nowhere. The interesting setting and story plus the epic hand to hand... it just felt so good.
I hope Watch Dogs turns out good;however, i'm nowhere near as excited for it as i would be a next gen Sleeping Dogs sequel. It really just looks like another AC clone set in a near-future American city. "yawn"
Are there rumors of a new Far Cry game this year because if that is the case, Watch_Dogs and GTAV PC might release right next to each other.
This might sound strange, but if the destiny beta is coming on bungie day (7/7) that would steal a big part of their crowd. The destiny beta is gonna be huge!
It's an open world game in Chicago. Even with some of the doom and gloom that started appearing prior to its delay, I'm still going to play this, regardless of reviews. Hope to hear some concrete news soon. Really curious about the soundtrack and if they went the SR/GTA route for licensed music.

before destiny pls
This is why I'll always be hyped, even if we have to wait until fall. Been waiting so fucking long for an open-world Chicago.

Nah
Its not really open world, you cant take Aiden run over civilians or shoot a club full of people or jump off Sears tower ect
Its limited like LA Noire
How? Is Tetsuya Nomura somehow involved in this?

Considering the game is coming within the next four months, that is highly unlikely.
lol. I just think Ubisoft wants The Division out first, that took away all the buzz Watchdogs had.
Watchdogs was supposed to be out during ps4 launch...if youre going to delay it just go full delay for years, their is no point to rush this out, it has no buzz anymore.

I'll go with May.
Probably the first half of the month to give it a solid month of sales before E3.

Quality of the game was not up to snuff. If that means gameplay-quality or technical-quality (as in crashes every minute) I believe is unknown.

That reminds me of Gran Turismo 5.

Probably a month before E3 so they can talk about the reception if it's a success. Hope the delay was worth it. I'm excite.
All open world games have some sort of limitation. You can't enter most buildings for example (in games with a modern setting)
Shooting random civilians/going on a killing spree doesn't make sense in the context of the game I guess.
True but I was able to talk with a Ubi PR a few weeks ago and they are aiming for a Q2 release as its their biggest gun at the moment. I think they were a bit suprised or catched on the wrong foot after the GTA5 buzz lasting until December and the quality of the game wasnt just good enough. Its a huge project for them and costs immense amounts of money right now as more than one studio is working on it. I'm pretty sure that the game is ready to get shipped in a few months.

My hype level for this game has gone from extremely high, to basically zero. Every time they show it they appear to have downgraded it's visuals and even the gameplay. We need to see more gameplay elements. Maybe it does still hold some surprises.
Unless this new trailer is a return to form, I fully predict reviews to go something like this
"Although it presents some new ideas, the game borrows far to heavily from Assassins Creed, feeling more like a pseudo-sequel, than the new and unique experience the initial reveal implied."

Thanks for the info. Good they delayed it then, a buggy version would have made the new IP DOA. Fingers crossed they managed to resolve the issues.

I thought this had been June 10th for a while?

I was so hyped for this game so much so I got the app that you go around "capturing" points on a real map that I used to do while driving to work and almost got in about 50 car accidents lol I still capture some now and then because I can reach two from my bedroom. But I'm almost over this game even though I never played it...

Raymond legends had a decent delay ,which added a ton of content and value to the game. Plus it received a lot of 90+ review scores. Not all Delays are a bad thing, and it gives the developers more time to flush out their complete vision of the title. I think it would've been dumb for Ubisoft to release both black flag and WD in the same window, risking competitiveness among IP's . Personally I think it's great that we will be getting a good spring/summer title to play while we wait for destiny/witcher 3/ evolve to come out!
Open world don't mean you can do anything. A game don't have to be a GTA like to be open world.

would really love a story trailer. Still have no clue why dude is beating up people and cops like a g/a/f news thread.
