recently this game was revealed and everyone went crazy. The internet decided that it was a next gen game that will come out in a year or two. So my question is, what happened?

I think you're confusing it with Ubisoft's Watch Dogs.

I had the same problem.

And no, Watch Dogs is not next-gen.

that sounds about right. woof woof. also, it's not next gen if i remember right. i recall them announcing it for PS3, 360 and PC

It's okay. I have also confused Sleeping Dogs with Watch Dogs before.

Yeah but what about Wonder Dogs?

@iAmJohn: What makes you say that?

Because they said that during E3?

Wait, what!? Wag The Dog: The Game?? Why didn't anyone tell me about this? GET FUCKING HYPED!

rookie mistake

I still wish Watch Dogs was called CtOS

I never heard that. They never said it was. But they certainly never said it was for current generation consoles either. And there's no way it'll be PC exclusive, as much as the platform needs AAA exclusives.

Strangely enough, I went to the Watch Dogs board because I remember there's a thread in there about it being announced for current-gen, but the OPs in both are mysteriously missing. D:

Here's a story on Joystiq about it.

Yves Guillemot said himself that Watch Dogs was coming out on current generation consoles at least on a GT interview. They showed the PC version and obviously he couldn't say anything about next gen. My guess is that it will come out on both, they probably aren't sure themselves yet.

Edit: here's a link to the GT interview: http://www.gametrailers.com/e3/videos/19h4mi/e3-2012--ceo-interview

I'm obligated to harass you. Be back when I think of something demoralizing.

So what I take from this is that the gaming community is not ready for any kind of dogs in game tittles.

The door is wide open for a Snoop Lion game.

This is obviously the prequel minigame collection to Watch Dogs.

Watch Dogs will be an Ouya exclusive.

what?

I thought the same thing for a fraction of a second when I saw the Sleeping Dogs review on my screen.

Everyone is mistaking Sleeping Dogs for Watch Dogs.

Remember Cat dog?

On the topic of Watch Dogs, it is as much next gen, as it is current gen - for all we know. During the transitional phase between console generations, most games come out for both generations.

That's correct, I'm pretty sure they confirmed that at E3.

I thought Watch Dogs came out already?

ok, so what i learned today is that i only have room in my brain for 1 "dogs" title.

Well, this is embarrassing...

When Sleeping Watch Dogs is released, *then* we can all be confused.

we need more "dogs" games!

I will bet 1000 dollars Watch Dogs is 2013 Xbox 720 launch title, with low graphics ports to PS3 and 360.

Hahaha my friend said the exact same thing to me yesterday. Admittedly it is a little confusing.

to be honest, i am not at all embarrassed by this. While i knew about the truecrimes game that was shut down, i had no idea what they did to it, ie sleeping dogs. This is an open world game, just like the other dogs game. I feel no shame

STEP YOUR SHIT UP NAUGHTY DOG!

Booo next gen.  Long live current!

Change the name to Watch Lions and we won't have this problem. Snoop's ahead of the curve.

I am next-gen.
