Watch_Dogs: Here's What Happens When Online Invasions Go Horribly Wrong - Xbox One Footage

With Watch_Dogs already in the hands of many, we're finally seeing a few videos of the online portion of the game. One feature, hacking, prompts players to infiltrate other people's games and plant a back door in their smartphones without being detected, and it can really go horribly wrong.

dang that first video at the top, how the hell did he know so fast that dude in the car was a potential hacker?? lol. He ran out that store so fast and capped that dude.

StoneyYoshi3659d ago

if you listened for the audio outside that there was a car accelerating frantically and scaring civilians, and also some civilians spawned since the guy that was coming to do the hack entered the area and they have to spawn for the other player too.

HammadTheBeast3659d ago

It showed up on the map as a potential target.

StoneyYoshi3659d ago

@Elit3Nick

Trying to prove this to him is just knowing how bad you got trolled. Calling him out for it and putting this effort into trying to point it out shows that his job here is done.

crimsonfox3659d ago

Bahahaha this is great. I can't wait to get maximum creeper on people online.

KING853659d ago

LOL! Hopefully that glitch won't happen too often in the second video. Funny nonetheless.

KonsoruMasuta3659d ago

That first video was epic. Those were some quick reflexes.

thekhurg3659d ago (Edited 3659d ago )

The first video makes no sense. I don't get what alerted him to anything - but I know jack shit about the game, so that's probably adding to my confusion.

edit:

Nevermind - I see explanation below.

Clover9043659d ago

Can someone explain what happened in the first video?

steeler0113659d ago

He was coming out of the shop and saw a dude driving like a mad man... a.k.a not like an NPC and killed the invader before anything could happen... it was sorta like quick reflexes and luck at the same time!

KonsoruMasuta3659d ago

It also helped him when the NPCs outside the store started screaming. That pretty much gave away the location of the person invading his game.

elhebbo163659d ago

wait so this is kinda like AC's multiplayer? how cool.

marlinfan103659d ago

I'm pretty sure the guy in the car was hacking into the guy in the store so he went out and killed him

Plagasx3659d ago

The person driving the car who was attempting to invade the players game let the player know that he was there.

uncharted563659d ago

In that video the player invaded his game and was supposed to hack him. But he got too reckless while driving and caused citizens to react alerting the player who recognized as either a player hacking or crime taking place and rushed outside.

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.

RaidenBlack1039d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1039d ago (Edited 1039d 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.

HankHill1039d 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.

obidanshinobi1039d 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.

LamerTamer1039d 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.

gantarat1039d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee1039d 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?

RaidenBlack1039d 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.

BlaqMagiq11039d ago

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

Profchaos1039d 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.

BlaqMagiq11039d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn1039d ago

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

smolinsk1039d ago (Edited 1039d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos1039d ago (Edited 1039d 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_toad1039d 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.

LamerTamer1039d 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.

TheSinsibleOne1039d 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.

LamerTamer1039d 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.

TheEnigma3131039d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack1039d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma3131039d 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."

vallencer1104d ago

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

Pridefall1104d ago

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

mikefizzled11103d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921104d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1104d ago

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

Gameseeker_Frampt1103d 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.

WeAreLegion1104d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1104d 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.

ApocalypseShadow1104d 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.
