Best game shown today. Period.

My thoughts as well.

To me, this is the quintessential example of what I personally look forward to and love about e3.

Showing a new game no one has ever heard of until e3, and basically blowing minds.

This game looks SICK. So damn sick.

I actually think overall Ubisoft killed this e3 (in the positive way).

Seriously, every game they showed minus the dance stuff as not my cup of tea whatsoever, looked amazing for different reasons.

Take note other developers and companies, this is how you do an E3 press conference, talk about the damn games!!

Wow, two different endings to that scene already. :) Just watched the car chase ending on the top video, and I saw the other one live last night at Ubisoft's conference.

Watch Dogs is definitely looking like a day-one buy for me. Fingers crossed it's coming to Steam.

I didn't know about this game until I read some YouTube comments about a game that surprised a lot of people (in a good way). From what I've seen so far, it looks really good. It's about time developers started working on even larger games. The visuals look amazing so I'm definitely looking forward to the PC version. I just hope Ubisoft sticks with their plan to use less DRM and focus on better post-launch support.

I liked this for 2 reasons, first it looks good and the gameplay looks great as well, 2nd, it took place in my hometown.

I wonder though, because in the vid I saw at the end you see other players, so like, we talking a big multiplayer type world? Co-op? What sorta details do we actually have? If it's some big MMO type thing then that's a shame, as great as it looks I'll have to take a pass on it.

GTA with awesome graphics and huge technology network (that can be controlled)? Yes Please!

If the game turns out half as good as the video shows, it may be a day-one buy for me as well, despite Ubisofts DRM (though I will probably find a crack so I can play it offline, if always online is the DRM they go with). Looks like the perfect single-player game I've been looking for, always loved GTA but stealing cars and doing standard missions got boring after the third GTA.....but this seems to have much more, it's more of a secret-agent type game (or at least feel, based on the video) with a more advanced hackable network. It's like GTA + hitman + deus ex......seems awesome.

EDIT: Just watched the other video, multiplayer too? Coop perhaps could be tons of fun if that's the case, one person performs the mission while the others keep a lookout for police (or the others track the target, etc), then while the main person gets away, the others could distract the police or whoever else would chase them.

Could see so many coop possibilities....like mentioned above, or maybe the other player tracks the target while player 1 sets up the trap (or gets in position), or player 2 tracks/distracts the target while player 1 searches their car/house.......looks better and better.

Man, Ubisoft just churns out so of the most awesome game stories and ideas. They always seem to capitalize on real world issues/conspiracies and make them so real, or make you think this could be going on. This looks amazing. I definitely can't wait.

The gameplay trailer was awesome. I like the idea of total control over 'the network'.

During the first trailer, was anyone else thinking "What is this, Facebook: The Game?" Lol. That is all I could think of.

Ubisoft just took the cake for me this year with this game and AC3.

From what I can tell, them are the characters "Usernames" in the network, not multiplayer names.

Looks a combination between GTA and Deus Ex. Loved it!

Please, tell me it's coming to PC.

Yes, it's coming to PC.

Wonder what kind of insane Ubisoft DRM this game will have.

Don't quote me, but I thought I saw from the Ubisoft E3 show someone said they are forgoing any sort of always on DRM for the PC version like they've had in the past. But like I said, don't quote me. It might be a different game I saw this for even.

    • I just looked on my computer and there are settings and log files for utilities I have never even turned on!
    • O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 by Razvan Serea O&O ShutUp10 offers a simple yet effective way to take control of your Windows privacy. It provides access to almost 50 privacy-related tweaks, most of them hidden or not easily accessible to the average computer users. Using a very simple interface, you decide how Windows 10/11 should respect your privacy by deciding which unwanted functions should be deactivated. Using ShutUp10 you can easily disable Windows Defender, turn off telemetry, disable peer-to-peer updates, turn off Wi-Fi Sense, disable automatic Windows updates, turn off and reset Cortana and more. ShutUp10 allows you to create a System Restore point before you apply any changes, so that you can revert your system at any time if you run into problems. O&O ShutUp10 is entirely free and does not have to be installed – it can be simply run directly and immediately on your PC. And it will not install or download retrospectively unwanted or unnecessary software, like so many other programs do these days! O&O ShutUp10 Free and Premium The latest version brings O&O ShutUp10 Premium, expanding the app’s long-standing privacy controls with automatic enforcement of user-defined settings. Instead of manually rechecking options after every Windows update, users can set their preferred privacy configuration once—or apply recommended settings in a single click—and the tool continuously monitors them in the background. If Windows 10 or 11 re-enables disabled features or introduces new data collection paths, Premium restores the chosen settings automatically without user intervention. The free version remains available and fully functional for manual adjustments, offering the same core privacy controls for Windows. However, the Premium tier is aimed at users who want long-term, hands-off protection, adding automatic reapplication after updates, ongoing monitoring, and optional notifications to ensure privacy settings remain consistent over time. O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 changelog: Added “Show Differences” button in the overview panel “Don’t show again” option for the restore point prompt Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut for search/filter functionality Detection and linking of system-wide and user-specific setting associations Automatic search while typing PREM: Option to preserve notification counters and timestamps across application restarts PREM: Reset blocked settings button in the Settings dialog PREM: Informational message when no settings are blocked PREM: Update check can also be triggered from the menu PREM: Notification deduplication and activity log summary feature Improved L005 “Disable Windows Location Service”: Version-specific split (up to Windows 11 23H2) and new variant for Windows 11 24H2+ L001 (Disable Location): Added Night Light warning to the description in all languages Search now detects setting IDs even when ID display is disabled and offers to enable it Detection and removal of Copilot/AI desktop apps in RecallTerminator Optimized High DPI support PREM: Reset button is now only enabled when blocked items exist – setting IDs are shown in the confirmation dialog PREM: Updated tray icons with higher-resolution versions PREM: Activity Log timestamps now use localized date and time formats PREM: Tray icon status now uses OK/Warning indicators and localized tooltips PREM: Recall folder detection switched to service-based detection PREM: Copilot uninstallation now provides UI feedback and improved verification Fixed Description text was not displayed correctly for the last item and disappeared when clicking the scrollbar Crash when clicking a search result heading or the […] button PREM: Installation path is now correctly preserved during upgrades PREM: Tray icon was not reliably removed when exiting the application PREM: Main window was not displayed correctly in single-instance mode PREM: Incorrect display of the & symbol in tray icon tooltips on Windows 10 PREM: Fixed notification flooding after sleep/standby PREM: Dashboard was not refreshed after applying recommended settings during onboarding PREM: Progress bar was not reset after deleting Recall folders PREM: Fixed service startup failures PREM: Fixed incorrect drift detection when Automatic Protection was disabled PREM: Notifications now correctly count all deviating settings when protection is enabled PREM: Registration Wizard was shown after sleep/standby despite a valid license Download: O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 | 76.4 MB (Freeware) Download: O&O ShutUp10 32-bit | ARM64 View: O&O ShutUp10 Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Fascinating...W h i t e P o w e r is now also asterisks out.  
    • In the past few days I have noticed two odd moderation activities. First, when I posted the term 'White Nationist Christian' it was asterisk's out. When I changed it to **** it was allowed! Second, in the Politics is a ###business thread I was allowed to post that the GOP is a party of p e d ophiles but I was censored  when I posted the GOP are a party of p e d ophile protectors. Wtf Neowin. Please explain.
