Here are fresh Watch Dogs E3 screens showing paranoid vigilante Aiden Pearce being all hackery and above the law. Joel also recently saw the PS4 game at the show and learned a little bit more how other players can invade you game and cause trouble.
Ubisoft revealed new Watch Dogs PS4 gameplay at Sony’s E3 press conference. A new live ten minute demo showed Aiden Pearce teaming up with a pal named T-Bone to hack into a mainframe.
E3 o’clock is almost upon us, and to mark the occasion editor Ben Wilson and the team make their predictions for the big show in this month’s Official PlayStation Magazine podcast. No, Kane & Lynch 3 does not make the shortlist. Elsewhere the team talk their expectations for GTA V, discuss cover games Watch Dogs, Assassin’s Creed IV, COD: Ghosts and Driveclub, and try not to laugh (without much success)…
During our recent trip to see Aiden Pearce’s open-world actioner, we got the chance to interview the game’s creative director Jonathan Morin, who talks the PS4 version of Watch Dogs, GTA 5 and how Sony’s next-gen vision is closely tied to Ubisoft’s.
Here are the latest Watch Dog PS4 screens showing the next gen world of Chicago. The game follows Aiden Pearce, a hacking vigilante who roams the city protecting the innocent and hitting the bad guys with a big stick.
As PS4’s debut open-world game, not to mention the first major sandbox to hit shelves in the wake of GTA 5, there’s a lot of pressure on Watch Dogs. Can its Chicago match the ambition of Los Santos and the vast scale of its surrounding countryside? Will hack-tastic hero Aiden Pearce prove to be a memorable lead that can stack up to Rockstar’s terrible trio? Hell, can Ubisoft even replicate the lofty standards the French publisher has itself set after the remarkable Far Cry 3?
The Watch Dog developers have been talking up PS4 features and have mentioned players being able to play cross platform. They also talk about multiplayer being integrated into single player so you’ll be, “surprised when you meet other players”.
Ubi has announced 4 seperate Watch Dogs special editions promising a range of DLC, extra missions, hats, figures and all sorts of extras. Which one are you going to go for?
This new Watch Dogs trailer is really a rehash of old footage with a new voice over. It does however hint at the PS4 game’s multiplayer, mentioning “a new intrusion from an unknown party”. It’s something we’ve seen before with what look like other gamer’s names appearing over cameras. It suggests a different style of online, potentially with players able to spy and hack on each other’s single player games.
Naughty Ubisoft, letting us all think futuristic open world title Watch Dogs was somehow possible on PS3. Well, now it’s been confirmed for PS4 and Ubi’s shown off a great hunk of gameplay footage, with Aiden Pearce using his all-emcompassing hacking powers to drain ATMs, raise bollards on speeding cop cars, slow trains and vault over all and sundry in the near-future streets.
