Completely forgot about this game. The initial excitement I had for this game dropped seeing as the reveal was... 2 years ago? Or 18 months?

The_Monk · Sep 4, 2013

Thank you very much for posting fellow GAFfer.

Watching it right now.

Soi-Fong · Sep 4, 2013

How is that humanly possible?!? They've only promoted it at every single gaming event for the last year!

How'd he 'hack' the cameras without having access to "ctOS"?

Chamber · Sep 4, 2013

I hope there's a superior Gamersyde version of this. Save me, BlimBlim.

It looks alright I guess. I'm just at the very beginning though.

The downgrade is 100% clear though. It doesn't even look as good as it did at E3 this year let alone the initial reveal. But it still doesn't look like a current gen open world game, it's enough of an upgrade for launch I think.

Duxxy3 · Sep 4, 2013

Still has the quietest shoes in the business.

Bishop89 · Sep 4, 2013

Not a lot of buzz for watchdogs for a while now.

zakislam · Sep 4, 2013

Looks great as always.

it's missing all the shiny shaders and superior lighting quality you see in this video

now before someone says PS4 can't handle it, these effects are present in second son

game got downgraded big time on consoles IMO

Not even 18, more like 15, but definitely feels like two years

Derrick01 · Sep 4, 2013

Oh god this game really is going to be modern Assassin's Creed isn't it? First few minutes and he's already ~~destroying the tower~~ taking something out to enable everything in the area.

I can't help but think of this while looking at the game. It just seems like what the modern day Desmond game would've evolved into.

SniperHunter · Sep 4, 2013

On second thought this is probably the exact same demo Jimmy played back in June 2013

Strange they are releasing a video of this now

It's the most preordered launch game for both X1 and PS4.

Jason's Ultimatum · Sep 4, 2013

I like the setting and autumn season, but other than that, nothing about the gameplay excites me. Looks like the same as any other open world game, but with prettier graphics.

RoKKeR · Sep 4, 2013

Looks like I'll be getting AC4 instead.

The hacking mechanic alone is enough to differentiate it from AC for me.

MMaRsu · Sep 4, 2013

Lol that engine sound

Alienous · Sep 4, 2013

Gosh, that lifebar is really Assassin's Creed.

The game has plenty of buzz, just not on this forum.

still doesnt have a lot of buzz around the interwebs.

The press A to initiate awesomeness mechanic you mean?

I don't want to sound disappointed but it's really depressing to see another initially ambitious Ubisoft game devolve into a mixture of Assassin's Creed and Far Cry 3, which are both dumbed down messes.

You've got to be kidding...it's everywhere lol.

Ditto.

Looks nice but the gameplay is uninteresting.

Better than an unnecessary hacking mini-game mess, yes.

Around these parts, perhaps.

jmls1121 · Sep 4, 2013

Every AAA Ubi game feels like a re-skinned Ass Creed

lefantome · Sep 4, 2013

GTA V happened to this game.

-griffy- · Sep 4, 2013

I'm never going to get over the absurdity of "hacking" everything. "Let's hack that forklift." He might as well be equipped with a sonic screwdriver.

ezekial45 · Sep 4, 2013

Damn, invading other player's games looked fun. I love that the Souls series has made such an influence.

Bishop89 · Sep 4, 2013

i really liked the bit where another player hacked your character.

Can you point out some specifics? I'm not seeing much difference.

Corleth the Fey · Sep 4, 2013

So not possible to reach out and open doors next gen? Other than that - looks really good.

SniperHunter · Sep 4, 2013

This was recorded in June BTW

The building LOD switches were really noticable.

at least if it's popular, maybe Ubisoft will stop the milking of the AC franchise.

right?

Same here, visuals still look just as good as before.

Certinty · Sep 4, 2013

Looks great. Most alive game world I've ever seen.

w00zey · Sep 4, 2013

People can complain about UBI all they want this game looks like a ton of fun. Can't wait!

Oh I guess it is the same as this year's E3 then. Must be youtube making it look slightly worse.

One thing I notice that's different from much older builds is everything looks flatter. Not as much moves with the wind and the lighting isn't as impressive.
