I'm hoping the game will look great but I'm pretty cautious right now. I have it pre-ordered to secure the price that I found it for ... but I'm still really unsure about it.
Nah, it'll be 75.

I would not be surprised if it ends up being one of Ubisofts most profitable ventures this year.

Preview of ehich version,mate?Also can we expect any footage of the same?
Being good isn't a prerequisite for being successful, see Assassin's Creed 1.
78!

I kinda love the fact that this was delayed really. Would have been completely overshadowed by Grand Theft Auto 5 for me had it come out last year. Fuck, I'm STILL playing GTA5 nearly every day having joined a crew.
I can't wait to jump into this game. Looks phenomenal in my opinion. I love the direction they're taking with the online free roam.

Nice, looking forward to it.
Really interested into how this game plays out, I'm hoping the combat/driving is fun. I'm not really expecting too much out of the story, it might be OK but hopefully it isn't too serious. I guess I'm moreso just looking forward to hearing what can be done in the world, whether it be hacking it or just interacting with it.
Despite the swell of negativity around here, I'm still excited for Watch Dogs. Looking forward to more footage and info. Perhaps it will disappoint, but I'm still hopeful. Then again, I enjoyed both Far Cry 3 and Black Flag, which apparently represent everything wrong with modern gaming, so what do I know.

I just really hope they shown some footage of someone just messing around in the world
All I want to see.
It sure as hell is going to be profitable (they're getting my money at least), but doesn't prevent it from being a 75 on metacritic (Which I can agree with, 75 +/- 5).

Black Flag sits at an 83. I wouldn't expect anything less than that.

This is really key to any open world game. It's the main reason why I didn't enjoy GTA4 as much as the other games in the series. It just wasn't fun to mess around in the world.
A lot of people are/were afraid the open world stuff would be too serious. Too many restrictions like Assassin's Creed where you can't even kill civilians or you get desynced.
This game will obviously carry some stuff from Assassin's Creed, but not as much as people might think. Hell... there's even stuff in the game that you can easily compare to Saints Row because it's pretty crazy/fun.
But yeah, I'm sure all of that will be explained wednesday.
I agree that the revenge story is so played out and dumb that I stopped caring about the game.
And hacking looks so fucking lame too. All of the hacking shown so far is because the main character was given a magic phone that hacks what he wants at the press of a button. I had my doubts that the main character was a hacker at all until they had to straight up say it in the story trailer.
I really hope I'm wrong, but it just looks like another open world shooting/driving game with contextual powers.

Hell yeah, Dawg. You're getting me excited. Can't wait for tomorrow for new gameplay and Wednesday for your coverage.

That's really good to hear. When it was first shown it definitely gave off GTA4 vibes of taking itself way too seriously by trying to be too grounded in realism. I know recent trailers have shown off some weirder things, but it's good to hear that the rest of the game isn't pushing too much toward realism. GTAV showed a good balance between realism and just fun game design.

Previews calling a game shite?
Not the majority, but critical previews are slowly creeping back. If it's shite then RPS will be on top of that.

No such luck, since they're PC focused.

It's Ubisoft. That's a very unrealistic expectation to have.
Unfortunately not, but I expect Ubi to provide PS4 footage tbh.

Oh right, forgot this was only a PS4 preview thingy. Was just talking in general.

I can guarantee you it isn't complete shit from what I saw ages ago, but if you don't enjoy the GTA open-world style of games than it may not be something for you. Of course, this is going off older footage but I presume the essence of the game is still kept the same.
I have a feeling Watch Dogs will be that GTA but a little bit more tech-sided with more interactions in the world, like stopping traffic lights or shutting down power grids.

pickings are slim on ps4 right now, so watchdogs could still be a hit, unless they decided to do a ps4 version of GTA5 in which case i'd probably just get that.

Definitely getting this,
This game has major potential.

Out of curiosity, what is broken for you from a game that has yet to release? Don't take that as a snarky remark, I'm genuinely curious.
