Unfinished: Watch Dogs 04/22/2014

I'm ready, let this be good please.

Yay, finally.

Surprised this exists.

I will BOP so many people in this game! Bop City!

Aw, only 25 minutes? Also, I don't understand how you craft a hack. WHAT?

Watch_Inu

I really hope this isn't awful.

please be good please be good

I will mark so hard for being able to hack Virtual Dave Lang.

Wow, we just started this new generation of consoles, and Brad is already saying "The PS4 version looks alright. It's not bad."

WE'RE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS HERE, PEOPLE.

Soooooo where is Dave Lang? Patrick? Max?!?!

Watch_Doggers

watch_doge

much hacking

They must be having issues if the PS4 version is drastically a drop from the PC. May explain a lot of the push of the release date

Got the PS4 version pre-ordered for it. For once, I don't doubt for a second that I'm going to love this game.

Fuck the space. It'll always be Watch_Dogs to me.

Okay!

Watch_Spiders

25 minutes =/= 4 hours

I feel lied to.

Okay.

That framerate looks less than ideal in spots but other than that I think the game is looking super cool.

Okay

I remain skeptical until I see the 5 hour Quick Look.

I don't like the giant robot spider at all...I was hoping this game would be as far away from Saints Row as possible.

GREATEST

Some frame rate issues, for sure. Hopefully that gets ironed out. Other than that, seems alright. Probably gonna wait till its on sale.

Didn't expect this.

now i need a digital high...giant robot spider confirmed.

Okay.

Watch_Duders

@afabs515: The game is out in a month. That framerate will not be ironed out.

If this game is anything like this video and the game is optimized well enough, I'm totally in.

Well this wasn't really worth watching.

He explains that part >.>

Is the excitement for this just people who are desperate for content on their new consoles? because this doesn't look very good.

@illuminosopher: I am excited because I think it looks good

From that footage of a game released in a little over a month, eeeeh. The hell? I'll double and triple dip GTA5 and await the new Deus Ex. Watching in a videoplayer that has no problem running 1080p60 video and I see choppy gameplay footage in this, with a bloating of motionblur and effects that makes me worry about input lag.

@illuminosopher:

Totally agree. Looks like a generic open world game. It'll be played and forgotten.

I know these were short clips devoid of any context, but without seeing any story or character interaction, this game looks SOOOO bland. The hacking thing is seemingly the only unique gameplay mechanic, and from the footage it looks very un-engaging; just point and hack. I know this is a videogame and there might be small justification with the whole "grid" thing, but hacking just doesn't work that way.

Honestly, from the frame-rate and gameplay in this trailer, I think a lot of people that were hoping for this to be a PS4 seller are gonna be disappointed. Unless the story turns out to be really awesome. Of course, plenty of mediocre games turn out to be popular, especially with this Next Gen lull going on.

Sems pretty okay okay okokokokay.

From what I've read in other previews they really need to figure out how to do main missions in an open world. Black Flag had terrible main missions and it seems like this is a lot of "follow this guy, now follow this car" again. Just dicking around in an open world isn't enough for me anymore especially considering the potential this game had.

Maybe it's unfair to judge a game by what could have been but I can't help but to feel "meh" about all of this. The hacking seems incredibly gimmicky (and dumb) and there is an awful lot of rather dull looking shooting even in those short clips.

I was ready to buy this at release but now I'm definitely going to wait at least a little while. Graphically it looks decent enough but in the end I want it to be awesome to play and I'm just not seeing that at the moment.

Video Games in Video Games in Spider Tanks in Video Games. Yeah Baby!

Bummer, thought the online stuff they hinted at would've made this interesting .

@shortbreadtom: Yeah. Luckily, I have a good PC, so hopefully that's better.

I don't know how good this is really going to be on PC.

Those steam specs asking for an eight core CPU seem crazy.

I am Cyber_Batman. I am the Cyber_Night.

Yes. It also built up hype from its reveals in the past.

Brad: "...Nor should you engage in vigilante justice"

Jeff: "Well..."

Based Gerstmann!

This is my most hyped game. I've already played a few upcoming games like WildStar was a huge hype too but that game is terrible (I've been in closed beta since October). People will see soon enough in a few days.

This game looks incredible. I love that there is more to it like the crafting and such. I just really can't wait. It looks so much better than the bore fest that was GTA 5.

Opinions. They aren't fact.
