This immediately jumps to Number 1 on my most wanted list. This looks incredible.
That was in the Deus Ex demo. There was a cat poster and the developer said, "I like cats."

if you were to describe this game to me, i would scoff.
but watching the stream.... i gotta say, i'm loving it. looking back on the first game, it almost didn't make sense that Aiden would get all into hacking and combat and all that. but their explanation of the PC in the sequel being essentially a millennial 'hacktivist' makes a lot more sense, and almost seems feasible. i actually want to know his back story and how he fits into the big picture.
i think people annoyed with the theme and saying "edgelords" and stuff like that are just maybe feeling like the game is giving validity to people they don't like? i don't really think it's doing that so much as it's taking that subculture and dialing it up and giving it purpose. the use of drones, and the 3D printer, and little makerbot gadget type tech is just stuff people do, so making this character use them as tools just clicks, i think.
engine doesn't look like it's had much of an upgrade though. looks like they decided to make everything vibrant and stylized as opposed to getting it to match the fidelity of those early WD demos. i'm fine with it though. maybe PS4K version will add some bells and whistles though. (and better framerate)

Well, caught the last minute. Seems to be a more fun take on the original concept and the open world design screams GTAV in influence. Could be good.
? it'll be huge

I hope so!
Overall seems much more interesting than the first. Anxiously awaiting the Ubisoft conference now

Wow the game and the gameplay looks good. I just hope the story is also good.
I want a Trackmania-like game about this now.
on-topic: Gameplay looks good.

Well, I may be getting that game day one. They made a ton of improvements and I haven't played an Ubisoft open world game since the last Watch_Dogs.
Yes one poster in 200+ posts is all the evidence I need.
This is Watch_Dogs, not Watch_Cats. Get with the times, man.

Overall looks pretty cool.
Visuals look like a nice upgrade from the first game, although maybe seeing it after Horizon did make me initially a bit unimpressed. Seeing the scale though, this looks current gen rather than a bit cross gen like first. Will be annoying if this one isnt 1080p though.

Looks great, hopefully its another AC1 to AC2 jump in quality
Surely it will take advantage of Neo/Scorpio

Same here. Good shit Ubisoft.
My exact thoughts.
First game serves as concept that doesn't nail execution, sequel refines and builds upon the strengths of the first game

Graphically it doesn't look a massive step up, but I'm really liking all the gadgets and hacking stuff they added, pretty much everything what I was hoping for, this actually might be very good.
Hacking vehicles, the drone and RC car are great additions and should change up gameplay quite a bit if used well. I'm liking that the story is more about Dedsec too, and not just a one man revenge story.

Wasn't big on the first game, but this looks really interesting. The Bay Area's an awesome location for this to take place -- love the vibrance and color of everything too. Considering its Ubisoft, expectations have to be tempered, but hopefully it lives up to what they're promising.

Alright, I'm definitely interested after that premiere stream. I'm not very fond of the original, but the change in tone and locale here is really doing it for me.
Yeah, no doubt. But still - Marcus is not dull for sure but I don't really think that thug-alike, emotional, jojo-fighting, parkour artist is the best option to sell a "hacker character".
When they talked about MP aspect, they showed other player playing a single player though... and the character looked different.
Does it mean that there will be mulitple characters in campaign or rather it's just "new character created for MP but can also be played single while online"?

Any release date or range?

Looks good but i still wish the main character would have been female.
Maybe WatchDogs 3.
I hope the soundtrack is good (the actual score). The first game was great, especially those "unreleased" soundtracks people ripped from the game files.

In all serious it looks like they haven't butchered the shit out of SF so far so I'm digging this.
The movement and hacking looks great. Graphics look a bit rough, but I guess we're still looking at beta.
Co-op is a big fucking get for me. Hopefully it'll actually work well.
I'm somewhat optimistic about this game.
Some people definitely dress like that guy. It isn't some ultra-youth tech stylz environment though.
