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 bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
