This was the "next Gen" game right? I thought I read a headline saying someone had shown one. As far as what was demoed the controller looked to be the ps3 one.

This game looks bad ass and I plan to buy day 1.

No it's current gen, the press release thing Ubisoft put out states PC (DX11 lead), PS3 and Xbox 360. Wii U isn't mentioned, but I'd guess a release there as well?

Well ****, then that was a PC demo on a 360 pad. Got a closer look at the controller and saw the color layout of the buttons. I would hate to see to large of a difference on the consoles.

I doubt there will be a large difference between the consoles. In fact Ubisoft is one of the better developers in making sure there games run stellar on the consoles IMO.

Case in point, all of the Assassins Creed footage they have shown this week has actually been on the PS3, the console that was once "notoriously bad" for developers, and just based on my experience with AC Revelations and the latest Ghost Recon Future Warrior, both of which I played on the PS3, I have the utmost of faith in Ubisoft and what they are able to accomplish on the consoles.

The graphics looked better than what consoles are capable of. I would've be extremely surprised if it was running on an Xbox 360 or PS3. It's confirmed that the demo was running on a high-end PC (see here).

Aiden Pearce will surprise you ? and not just for the obvious reasons. We captured some spectacular new Watch Dogs details in our E3 single-player reveal (See: Watch Dogs ? Sneaking, Jamming and a Grenade Launcher), but the biggest surprise of all is the multiplayer.We knew it was coming, but we had no idea that it had already begun. Ten minutes into a gameplay demo (chronicled in our other story), we see an alert on-screen saying Aiden is being hacked. Quickly, the number jumps to 14% infiltration, and Aiden must jump into action. He uses his Profiler app to search for whoever?s installing a virus onto his phone.

Looking around, we see blue X?s on everyone we profile, and the infiltration percentage continues to tick higher and higher. With time running out, Aiden hacks a camera to scan a wider range, and he spots a suspicious-looking NPC crouching in a nearby alley. Aiden sets off to stop him, a chase ensues, and then a firefight. In this particular demo, Aiden ends up shooting the hacker, thus stopping his malicious virus install.

And then the lights go up.

The lights, in this case, are from another room in our behind-closed-doors demo at E3 2013. Animation director Colin Graham, who was playing the game for us, points to his co-worker, also playing the game, now visible through a previously darkened window. That was no NPC, after all. This is Watch Dogs multiplayer in action.

 

Seems to run something along the lines of Demon's Souls.

Is there some reason, perhaps just trying to impress onlookers with impressive graphics but.. to use a high end PC to show a console game???

 

Are they kidding? No wonder UBISOFT sucks so bad. They like to impress with pretty graphics but lousy game titles. look how bad Ghost Recon went.

 

I don't trust UBISOFT. they absolutely hate the PC crowd. Since Ghost recon 2001, We have never been dealt with on an honest level, kept in the dark, lied to, and they can't even patch the games to work. one patch may fix what was wrong with the game before then, that patch opens up a slew of new problems that have to be patched.

 

They can't even tell gamers after months of waiting, when the patch is coming or any updates. Ghost Recon:Future Soldier is a terrible port, lousy network coding for online play and issues that haven't been addressed since it released. At one point, they started using the same canned responses for reporting issues and PR

 

 

PR: we are sorry you're having issues and we have our developers actively working to fix the problem

I'm confused. Is that bit at the end multiplayer?

As in the hacker was another player? If so, that is very cool.

 

Yeah the Hacker is another player. What my question is though, if there is a way you can turn that off. I don't want random people coming into my game. It's cool, but I think it will become very annoying.

I'm sure there will be. I don't think it'll be as unforgiving as Dark Souls and not let you switch it off.

If it works as well as it did in that video. It could be very cool.

      The Online part hasn't even been announced and probably won't be included on day one. This is a massive singleplayer game.

      Lol are you mad because I'm not using AI? I'd rather pay people than lose a bunch of potential customers and get humilated because I used AI. A lot of people won't purchase a game if it used AI during development.
    • LibreWolf 152.0-1

      LibreWolf 152.0-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 152.0-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 152.0 Release Notes Notable changes: The AppImages are now built on Codeberg along with the other releases We have decided to wait a bit longer to enable the settings redesign, due to use being aware of multiple upstream issues Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
