I don't know what trailer you guys were watching but I thought it looked awesome and finally we have a release date. Today was a good day.

When did he turn into a killing machine? I always got the impression from past trailers that he was avoiding trouble as much as he can, of course you can play it in multiple styles but for some reason I always thought they were pushing the stealth aspect more.

This was just in the reveal trailer, all the other trailers were more and more focusing on the shooting and fighting aspect of the game. He is no longer a hacker, might as well be a spec ops or something. I still hope you can still play mostly as a hacker and not as an assassin (pun intended), but I think I will be disappointed.

His VO is hilariously over the top.
Let's find the most gritty rugged bad ass voice ever. Sounds like Old Snake in a 30 year old man. Haha, geeze my hype fell of a cliff after this trailer.

UBISOFT® REVEALS WATCH DOGS™ RELEASE DATE

Today, Ubisoft revealed that its highly anticipated open world action-adventure game, Watch Dogs™, will be released worldwide on May 27, 2014.

In Watch Dogs™, players assume the role of Aiden Pearce, a new type of vigilante hero who, with the help of his smartphone, will use his ability to hack into Chicago’s central operating system (ctOS) to control almost every element of the city.

“We are pleased to be able to reveal to gamers all over the world the new release date for Watch Dogs™,” said Geoffroy Sardin, EMEA Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Ubisoft. “We are extremely confident that the additional time we afforded the dev team to refine and polish the game will be more than worth the wait.”

Players who purchase Watch Dogs™ on either PlayStation®3 or PlayStation®4™ will have exclusive access to 60 minutes of additional gameplay via the PlayStation® Network.

“We’re really excited for the launch of Watch Dogs on both PS3® and PS4® and are confident that it will prove to be one of the standout games of 2014,” said Michael Pattison, Vice President, Third Party Relations, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. “It’s a unique and visionary game and we believe that the exclusive content available via PSN will not only excite gamers, but showcase how PlayStation® is a preferred destination for Watch Dogs.”

Watch Dogs™ will be available on Sony PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Microsoft Xbox One® the all-in-one games and entertainment system, Microsoft Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system and Windows PC. The Wii U™ version will release at a later date.

0 - 75 hype m/s during that trailer.

I mean it's still going to be AssCreeHacker but I'm now actually looking forward to this. Good trailer.

Sweet - will be interesting to see how fluid the integration of rising bollards etc. during car chase scenes is.

looks ok. not really a genre i typically enjoy, but may give it a go if there isnt much else to play in that time frame.

Really? with such a huge fan base and sales numbers i highly doubt they would cut the last-gen this early but we will see.

No, he says that there will still be a last gen game, it will just be another game entirely. So that there are two ACs this year current gen and last gen.

People got used to the graphics of their new system pretty quick. No way this looks like 360/PS3 footage. It looks pretty good imho.

Not really impressed visually, not like that E3 reveal. Story elements of that trailer don't really do anything for me, either.

I'm gonna wait and see on this one. My initial hype is completely gone now.

Agreed. No way will it look like that on last gen.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills with all these people saying it looks bad.

I see that they didn't use the extra time to fix the bad graphics. Very disappointed, it doesn't look next gen at all.

I don't think you remember what last gen looked like. The game looks super crisp and the textures (on the people especially) look great. For an open world game it's looking nice.

If you consider this "bad graphics" I think you're going to be disappointed a lot this gen.

Just an hour ago I was wondering if/when it was going to be delayed/cancelled, and then this appears. I can book my week off!

Sure does look like a last-gen game based on that trailer. The story premise sounds hilariously cliche too lol.

Wow, that initial reveal got downgraded a lot, lol. Looking great was the only thing this game had going for it, personally.
I've had enough Ubisoft open-world games to know when they look boring and filled with tick-boxes.

I bet you're gonna have some sort of "hack this part of town" thing, similar to AC's view points and Far Cry's posts, that will then unlock a bunch of boring side-quests that have maybe 10 variation types.

Hopefully the gameplay delivers, but I doubt it.

What? People think this is PS3, 360 level graphics? Hahaa... These people can not be taken seriously. Pffffwhahaha..
Take a good look at the reveal trailer again, guy. GTA5 looks more visually impressive in just about every regard. If this is ps4/One footage, it's truly sad.
 
The fact that we can't even tell for sure which generation of consoles that trailer is for is kind of a problem. But I doubt they'd release a trailer for a big new title for the previous generation. So that's probably a PS4 trailer which doesn't look great to me.

Its because people are comparing it to games developed exclusively for current-gen

The game still looks awesome, and it still has what made me excited for the game in the first place. The environment manipulation.

Everything that made me excited for watch dogs in the first place is still there. Its the thing that makes this game stand out to me. The fact the player can manipulate and change the environment at will.

Hell, I'm excited for infamous because of gameplay and story... not the graphics (although they are nice)

Wut? You can't possibly be serious. It looks like an upscaled 360 game. Crisp textures is not what we use to define next gen. This is very much a 360 game. Gta V on ps360 looks more impressive and the next gen port will look even better.
