Ubisoft Watch Dogs Release Date and Out of Control Trailer
Ubisoft has released the trailer “Out of Control” for their upcoming new title, Watch Dogs. Also was announced that the game will be released on November 19th of this year. If you have not heard of Watch Dogs before then here is what it is about.
Watch Dogs will be an open world video game to be released for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Wii U. You play as the character Aiden Pearce, that has the ability to hack in to electronic equipment tied into the city’s central operating system (ctOS) which basically runs anything electronic. This is suppose to give you various ways to work around or solve problems. You can cause traffic collisions, steal peoples credit card and bank information from their phones, and cause malfunctions with equipment. The game is built around the concept of information the user can retrieve from various sources to wage war on the ctOS. The game is set in an alternate universe Chicago, Illinois.
Watch Dogs Game
Ubisoft announced that their will be four versions that will be able to buy of the game. They are Standard Edition, Special Edition, DedSec Edition, and Vigilante Edition.
Now for the trailer!
Very interesting. Looks like a technology based version of infamous. Can’t wait to see/hear more about it. What would be neat to see is if sony decides to include sixaxis on the dualshock 4, if ubisoft incorporates this into a feature. Ubisoft has a big year ahead of them with the upcoming assassins creed, splinter cell, and recently acquired south park video game. Hopefully all prove successful.
The idea of the game is really interesting and I hope Ubisoft doesn’t blow it with their policies (DRM anyone?).
Another thing I want to know, is how big the city is and if it is freely explorable.
On a side note, I am not totally happy with the introduction of guns. I was intrigued by the idea of a purely stealth game where your only weapon is hacking systems.
I played the E3 demo from 2012 on my PS3, didn’t make so much sense back then (it was a bit hard to understand), but the new trailer(s) just looks awesome, I will definitely buy it for the PS4 I will eventually get!
