Well if they wait too long all of us PS4 guys will be double-dipping back into Los Santos.May sounds about right. Eight months is enough time to spend in Los Santos.

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...
Will we get a Wii U release date as well? Doubt it lol
So a game is open world only if it's a GTA like?
lolwut?
what is this app?

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
100% correct. Ubisoft is smart enough to know that GTA V will likely release on PC / Next Gen sometime in the last half of this year. I, for one, would most definitely wait on Watch Dogs and pickup GTA again and I suspect many, many other games would as well.
Also, I don't really understand what Ubisoft is doing. They see that GTA V is incredible, etc. and they delay Watch Dogs to make it better? What could they possibly do? Redesign the entire city to make it bigger? Add new missions? Make you care about the character more?
All of those things seem like a bit much for a developer to properly achieve in just a few months of extra development. I don't think they've been improving it in any dramatic or big way, I think they just knew that GTA was still hot and decided to wait.
My bet is on April 1st. (April 4th in EU/UK)
Unless something changed I'm keeping my guess as Fall 2014. But if the rumors were false, I'm sure Ubisoft will release it on a date that has already proven to be viable, so end of May to mid-June or end of August.
Considering Ubisoft sees Watch_Dogs as their Assassin's Creed for next-gen, it will require at least 3 months of heavy marketing and propaganda to create enough buzz to sell 8M+ copies.

That's very disappointing.
An extra 5 - 8 months and more man power can do wonders tho.
You can't completely rebuild a game in 4 months. The game lacked overall polish on many things. They used the delay not to add substantial content but more to brush up the game.
I suppose we'll find out soon enough if the delay has had its intended effect.
Maybe they'll release during E3 for maximum clusterfuck.
I'd love it to come out in April though.
The Last of Us was released during last E3, and it did not cause clusterfuck.
Then Ubisoft is going to do the most insane PR blast in a very long time.

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"
May sounds about right. Eight months is enough time to spend in Los Santos.
I would argue that it did cause a clusterfuck. People actually thought it was good for the rest of the year because the hype of E3 was mixed with a release and everyone was confused and gave it GOTY.The Last of Us was released during last E3, and it did not cause clusterfuck.

I hope they lied in their investor meeting and it releases in March, I really wish something good was released then.
I don't see the "/s" anywhere in your post.
(Looks at release dates for Titanfall, Dark Souls 2, and inFamous: Second Son)
I still can't seem to find your /s.
Exactly, 4-6 months and a large team is simply not enough time to fundamentally change a game. Redesigning the game world, trying to fit new missions into an already completed story, etc. is just too much.
I think what some people are forgetting is that the game was likely nearly complete and ready to ship when they saw how well GTA V was doing and got a glimpse of what it offered. The extra time is likely getting it to run super smooth, eliminating bugs, maybe adding more online elements.
It's incredibly difficult to make big changes to a nearly finished open world game.
With the lack of games on both the PS4 and Xbox One I don't think they need too much PR as people will probably notice the presence of a new game on the shelves/online either way.
I doubt Watch Dogs will be too much of a hard sell either.

Sorry, since when do I have to sign everything I say with /serious? Believe me, I'm /serious.
I don't think they delayed it in response to GTA. ESPECIALLY considering GTA isn't on the next gen systems. I think the game just wasn't coming together the way they needed it to fast enough to hit the original date. This being the first in what they want to be a big new franchise, they have to come out of the gate strong. 5-6 months could conceivably give you enough time to polish it to that point. Especially if it was shippable as it was.
