My dude is doing front flips and side flips off buildings looooool
Best protagonist. If this is Edgelord™ I need more of that in my life. So ridiculous.
I'm glad to see you guys are willing to give the game a chance now. Last night's thread about the leaked ad was ridiculous. With the proper context and more info, we finally got to see what the game looks like now. And I really dig it. It's got energy and style, and there looks to be a lot more to say with its plot.
It seems like they're going for more social commentary with this game. Which is great, because the setting of San Francisco and the black protagonist can really say a lot of subversive and controversial things about life in the Bay Area. I'm not expecting anything on the level of the HBO show Silicon Valley or The Wire, but I do like what I'm seeing.

My thoughts exactly lol. It looks interesting enough, but with any Ubisoft game I'm going to wait to see if it's worth it.

Yeah I will wait till release to see what the overall consensus is. I've gone a bit sour on Ubisoft, it started with this original Watch Dogs, hoping to get back to liking their stuff though.
There was a drone race in the gameplay footage.

It can only improve, might be interested for a couple bucks if the driving is completely overhauled. Such a big budget title with that piss poor physics/handling was ridiculous.

This is looking really good. I'm very excited. Of course, I was one of the five people on here who actually really liked Watch Dogs, so I was always looking forward to more.
The new main character looks really neat, much better than the crappy leaks. Parkour is looking awesome, super happy they're doubling down on that. Love that they're picking these underused cities as well. Chicago was a lot of fun and very different to most open world games, and I'm really looking forward to exploring San Francisco as well.
Also, quadcopter! Neat.

"black man from Oakland coming to terrorize people in SF". Yeeeeeesh. Come the fuck on Ubi.

The Division reveal trailer was before next gen consoles had even been announced. That was years ago when that was still their practice
AC Syndicate and Far Cry Primal did not receive that treatment
Yeah, I never understood the complaint either. There are some vehicles in WD that are super loose, but for the most part I found the driving to be much better than GTAV.
Anyway, game looks awesome. It looks like they really dialed up the hacking and world interaction. I like their focus on supporting multiple play styles, including hacking through an entire mission.

This looks real good.
The movement is nice and has me excited for the next Assassin's Creed. It looks a bit more fluid.

Looks good.
The group party environment dynamic, fun area as their base and dropping threat videos with masks - anti corporation. WD2 is definitely using Mr.Robot as a huge influence. I don't understand how you don't see it in WD2.

I must say the main character looks a lot better the one that was leaked.
Here's a comparison

I was thinking the same thing. Ubi does it every time. E3 comes out. Releases a Trailer.. Everyone loves it! Game comes out. Major downgrade. Everyone talks shit about it. Next E3 comes around. Release another Trailer. Everyone loves it. And so on, and so on.. and so on.. and so on..

Wait what? This game actually sounds like it will take a great approach to addressing race and social economics in America.

We'll see. It will be a pleasant surprise if they don't downgrade. I wanted Watch Dogs E3 version.
In your dimension, maybe.

And on the other end you have AC Syndicate. Ubisoft said that games announced at E3 last year and forward would be more honest reveals/demonstrations. So that would be For Honor, this and future projects.
But yes sure, let's point at The Division and say that a company can not alter their path in the future even if they prove they can.

I haven't seen the customization options. Can anyone timestamp it for me or provide a gif

Nothing about this makes me think it's an exciting game. Watch Dogs 1 was kinda ok too, but ultimately super boring.

The parkor is exactly what assassins Creed needs. This over the top animation and style.
And the art style and overall vibe of the game just seems fun. I'm excited for it.

The graphics right now look solid, nothing really mind-blowing and totally feasible. Don't see them looking worse at reveal.
What?! you don't like having a choice of the same jacket and cap but with a different pattern/color?

I didn't really like the look of that at all. Then again, I wasn't totally enthralled by the first game either.
At least we wont have to worry about downgrades. There didn't seem to be any graphical improvements that I could detect.
Are you suggesting that the E3 demo will look a lot better than what we just saw? That would be... weird. Not sure why they'd do that.
