Oh man that was truly awesome. The game types shown work well and for once I approve of a companion app. They did a great job there.

GarrusVakarian3675d ago

I thought the only type of MP in this game would be the 'invading other peoples game' type of MP. I had no idea there would be competitive VS modes. Looks pretty awesome.

Spinal3675d ago

I also like that in each persons game they appear as Aidan but in another persons game they look different keeping you the main character in yor own world

3-4-53675d ago

The best part is how you don't actually know who the other multiplayer player's are. You just have to kind of look for signals and clues in body language like in Assassins Creed Multiplayer.

^ That to me, is the single most "awesome" part of this whole game. I'm not wowed by anything else I've seen but it looks to be a solid title.

Tsar4ever013675d ago

Looking good. But did anybody notice while in the car driving. No people are anywhere to be seen on the streets or is it I can't see cuz Im watching this vid off my little smartphone? And why is the daytime cycle shown at the hour of sunset like? I love the sun flare mind you, but does this game have a mourning to afternoon, like to 12pm?

frostypants3675d ago (Edited 3675d ago )

That first part with the "invade the other guy's game" mechanic reminds me a bit of the Demon's Souls/Dark Souls online dynamic...i.e. the multiplayer being a seamless extension of the single player experience.

Doesn't look like the squad combat allows custom appearances which sort of sucks, but whatever.

This game is looking pretty fun. I'm beginning to lose some of my skepticism.

BALLARD323675d ago

So no true co-op other than the tablet stuff? That's really disappointing.

BALLARD323675d ago (Edited 3675d ago )

Of course I did. Did you? I wouldn't classify another player joining your game to work against you as co-op. Competitive multilayer obviously isn't either.

Lol everybody disagreeing. And I'm the one who didn't watch the video?

GameDev13675d ago

@Ballard

Did you skip past the part were two different teams for working together to decrypt a file?

I mean i am no overload of gaming but isn't that cooperation(coop)?!

trenso13675d ago

@GameDev1 you cant be serious, that was clearly competitive multiplayer game play, not the co-op he is talking about. If thats the case then I guess Dead space 2 multiplayer and the Last of Us was co-op as well. Do you also consider CODs multiplayer to be co-op?

frostypants3675d ago

BALLARD is right. The stuff at the end was basically team objective, not true co-op.

Gr1mmyshadows3675d ago

You mean no "the usual co-op" this is something new and fresh which is much needed instead of the same old you vs me, let's shoot each other co-op.

The multiplayer in this game looks amazing and fun as shell. How anyone can't be excited after watching this is beyond me

plaZeHD3675d ago

Nice to see something fresh for a change.

Edi0073675d ago

is great game will keep me busy until the assassin s creed unity come

Watch Dogs Deserves A Remake, More Than Ever

With the world of information and technology, privacy and security growing every day, Watch Dogs deserves another chance in the spotlight, now more than ever.

RaidenBlack1022d ago

The only Ubi title that deserves a faithful remake right now is Splinter Cell 1.
All 2014+ Ubi titles are just underwhelming. Especially ones from 2016+ are just cancer.

LucasRuinedChildhood1022d ago (Edited 1022d ago )

Seriously, are we so far removed from Ubisoft actually making good games that people now praise Watch_Dogs in retrospect?

"Watch_Dogs has remained one of my favourite games of the last ten years." Jesus Christ.

HankHill1022d ago

I remember being so disappointed in Watch Dogs when I played it at release. It was alright, but I think I fell for the hype and I needed a game to play on my new PS4.

obidanshinobi1022d ago

This is what happens when mediocrity gets praised as good.
Standards are slipping across the whole entertainment industry.
What was once considering rubbish is now considered as OK, what once was OK is now being praised as good etc etc.

LamerTamer1021d ago

Everyone has their own likes. I liked it a lot myself. I played through it twice and liked the car chases and the open world with fairly decent environments and missions. It suffered from the whole downgrade thing where they showed graphics that weren't actually there. No game will appeal to everyone but it was still ambitious for it's time.

gantarat1022d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee1022d ago

For certain! AC1 was brilliant at the time but with new graphics and gameplay it would be amazing! Do you prefer old combat or new though?

RaidenBlack1022d ago

I'd say a reimagining of AC1.
I direct AC1 remake would be a bad idea. It'll need better story pacing and significant better world building.

BlaqMagiq11021d ago

Old. Let it play like how it did with AC2-Syndicate style gameplay but refine the setting and story.

Profchaos1022d ago

It would need a lot changed for it to be enjoyable again as even back in 2007 on launch we were all complaining about it's repetitive gameplay go here perform one of three side quests repeat then assassination now do it over and over until a big battle with a unforgiving checkpoint system.

BlaqMagiq11021d ago

Absolutely. It needs it. The only AC I truly didn't enjoy.

chicken_in_the_corn1021d ago

I'd prefer it didn't. Ubisoft would make it so bloated, it wouldn't be anywhere near the original

smolinsk1022d ago (Edited 1022d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos1022d ago (Edited 1022d ago )

As a fan of the franchise legion was garbage and I regretted my purchase for the first time in the franchise the entire thing felt like an experiment in NPC behaviour and released without the writers input on what makes a good story.

I don't think I'm alone in that feeling though as wrench and Aiden are brought back and the campaign was rewritten to fit them.

I am tempted to buy the season pass to play it again with Aiden but fool me twice shame on me I'm waiting for a deep sale

camel_toad1022d ago

Agreed. Despite the annoying hipness of the characters in part 2 I thought it was a really fun game. I was extremely disappointed and surprised at how many steps back they took with Legion. You'd think it was made by an entirely different team. Or was it?

It was just so devoid of fun.

LamerTamer1021d ago

Honestly one of my biggest annoyances with Legion is that they took out the camera views for the driving. I mean the behind the car view that they stuck us with is near unplayable. I always used a first person driving view. After two releases why did they take OUT features? I don't get it.

TheSinsibleOne1022d ago

The fist watchdog game was the best by far
After that they weren't weird and annoying with that hipster stuff. Aiden was a badass.

LamerTamer1021d ago

I thought so at first too. I got used to it and it ended up being good after some play time. I just had to give it a chance.

TheEnigma3131022d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack1022d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma3131022d ago

That's good news. Hopefully it's done right.

Inside the Driver game that died so that Watch Dogs could live

From VG247: "When cars slide, they leave tyre marks. In a game like Driver, they’re an aesthetic touch, part of the inherent cool of a handbrake turn. But those dark shadows in the road also tell a story. From tyre marks, you can determine the speed of a vehicle, when it started to skid, and its ultimate direction of travel – long after the car itself has vanished into the distance."

vallencer1087d ago

Different spellings in different parts of the world friend. Tyre is a correct way to spell it.

Pridefall1086d ago

Dunno why you got downvpted when tyre is correct in Australia.

mikefizzled11086d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921087d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1087d ago

Why did they stop making some of the best games ever? Driver was one of them.

Gameseeker_Frampt1086d ago

Assassins Creed 2 showed Ubisoft how to make money and Far Cry 2 showed them that gamers don't like complex ideas. Now Ubisoft just turns out games that are just variations of the same thing.

WeAreLegion1087d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1087d ago

A story driven game with pure driving gameplay. I'd love to see a new Driver game or a remake of the first one.

ApocalypseShadow1087d ago

Yes. This one. A definite remake of the first without adding any ridiculous fluff. The first game had great physics and sound for its time. The start of the car in the beginning cinema I watched constantly. My father and uncles were big muscle and classic car freaks. Only thing crazy about the game was the relentless cops in the last level. Insane the way those police cars were and launched at you.

Bleemcast made it look better just like PC emulators. But would definitely take a remake.
