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.

    • Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.
    • Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21.3b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 152.0.1 Fixes Fixed transparency not working after updating to 1.21.2b (#14259) Fixed frequent crashes affecting users with Intel Raptor Lake processors Fixed an issue on macOS where choosing a PDF option, such as "Save as PDF", from the system print dialog would send the job to your printer instead of saving a file.

    • Microsoft, why can't I just turn off Copilot on my MS account (in order to stop OneDrive from wanting to summarize everything, ahem) in a way that doesn't break OneNote instead?
