I can confirm this game is running on PS3 and 360 at this point in time.

This guy is legit since he did a internet speedtest and posted it showing us that he works at Ubisoft

no wiiU?

I guess not? Unless Nintendo is gonna show it (which would be kinda wierd since Ubi showed off 2 Wii-U games at their conference)

Pretty fucked up if it doesn't have a version

The Wii U is so DOA

They were probably showing the PC version with some extra effects. That's probably why it looked a little better than current gen stuff.

Owl-faced Wizard · « **Reply #183 on:** June 04, 2012, 08:26:53 PM »

It'll be running on them, but it won't look that good. That looks about what I'd expect from Wii U ie. not this gen, not next, couple built-in effects in hardware to make it fake being better than it really is (like 3DS). So yeah, bridge game - probably on every platform under the sun. But I doubt they'll even put it on Wii U.

EDIT: Haha.

Haha suckers, WiiU gets Zombiu... oh fuck it, I can't do it.

And you know what would be really awesome? Something new announced at E3 that's actually coming this year.

it seems the game will be multiplayer/co-op (going by the end) and they are saying that "everything is connected" so it might as well be

I imagine all thatgadget menu stuff would work nicely on the touchpad. Way to miss out on the hype game Nintendo.

yeah, wii u screen or xbox glass seem like they'd work well with the game.

choco parfait · « **Reply #193 on:** June 04, 2012, 08:44:02 PM »

I can believe the demo was running on a PC. I refuse to believe it's a game still set for current-gen consoles. It'd just look horrible stepping any further down than what was shown.

My guess is that it's running on PC because that's the only hardware they can admit it's on at the moment. Everything else is smoke and mirrors.

to no WiiU version though. :'(

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #194 on:** June 04, 2012, 08:44:25 PM »

Yes, running on the Wii-U and apparently its an exclusive.

It had some interesting interaction since they were playing using the tablet controller and that newly announced non tablet controller at the same time.

etiolate · « **Reply #200 on:** June 04, 2012, 08:56:09 PM »

yeah I just found the gameplay demo on youtube

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #201 on:** June 04, 2012, 09:01:54 PM »

I am legitimately excited about Watch Dogs. It's open-world [which I always like], the shooting mechanic actually looks decent [which is a nice bonus], it's not the same old "you're a gang member shooting cops and dealing drugs" storyline that a lot of these games have, and the hacking angle looks like it can really open up a lot of really awesome gameplay opportunities [which is the major selling point for me]. So, yeah, for the first time since E3 starting, I'm all in.

etiolate · « **Reply #202 on:** June 04, 2012, 09:05:42 PM »

I am hoping you can play Watch Dogs more ike an open world Adventure game and not a gang/shooting game.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #203 on:** June 04, 2012, 09:08:08 PM »

i have a feeling this is ubisoft making the game seem open and spontaneous than it really is. bet its a mission fail if you dont cause that car crash.

I try to avoid all the soulless AAA releases.

Watch Dogs reminded me a bit of Gemini Rue minus the sci-fi.

If I lived in the watch dogs universe the main character could use his cellphone to tap into a hidden camera that could see the boner I got from watching the watch dogs trailer

etiolate · « **Reply #210 on:** June 04, 2012, 11:21:33 PM »

And if it's on Wii U, you could see your boner on a screen that's on top of your boner.

demi · « **Reply #211 on:** June 04, 2012, 11:21:55 PM »

then slide that boner onto a bigger screen

So, from the sound of things, Ubisoft had by far the best conference because they actually showed off a few interesting games.

etiolate · « **Reply #218 on:** June 05, 2012, 12:37:51 AM »

We really don't know how large that environment was. If that was an enclosed mission that ends when you jump the bridge then I can see how they're working it for current gen stuff.

cool breeze · « **Reply #219 on:** June 05, 2012, 01:37:56 AM »

I'm watching the direct video of watch dogs. Can current consoles do bokeh? I remember that's a feature in Just Cause 2 PC and one of the highlights of Good Samaritan. When he does the slow mo shooting, all the lights get that effect. Or it's just dof and I'm reading too much into it.

The fire reminds me of the Killzone 2 CG fire. Parts of it remind me of the fake Eight Days trailer too. Next gen is living up to Sony's lies for this gen

ok, maybe not the fire

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #220 on:** June 05, 2012, 02:02:26 AM »

You can fudge a lot of it, but there's a lot of stuff you can't do on current gen consoles, specifically the way they're doing reflections.

That's the one aspect that blared out at me as high end PC versus current gen consoles. It looked fairly nice but it looks pretty jarring how it snaps back and forth. Though this is probably due to how fast the reticule moves in distance.

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #224 on:** June 05, 2012, 02:59:05 AM »

Do you not get the feeling that, like AssCreed, Uncharted and many other 'new launch window AAA franchises' Watch Dogs will be an interesting test run before a killer sequel? It seems unlikely that they'll be able to get all the new game mechanics clicking AND get the actual content in line AND work with a new engine.

That's the only thing keeping my tumescence in check. Other than not being interested in crappy open-world driving, that is

brawndolicious · « **Reply #225 on:** June 05, 2012, 02:59:52 AM »

The first Assassin's Creed had very good core gameplay, but it didn't have much variety which kills the whole point of a sandbox game. I think Watch Dogs will be similar. I remember AC was also announced right as we were transitioning to this generation so they're probably looking to make a big, new franchise out of this. Just showing off the graphics at this point.

Quote from: radioheadrule83 on June 04, 2012, 07:43:11 PM

MOTHER OF FUCK. I clicked the related "sleeping dogs" and stepped a generation back (to current consoles).

Watch Dogs was clearly running on PC/WiiU.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #226 on:** June 05, 2012, 03:09:32 AM »

pilonv1 · « **Reply #231 on:** June 05, 2012, 10:18:23 AM »

Is it wrong that when I read about this thread I thought Watch Dogs was Skylanders but with dogs that you can strap on your wrist or something. I didn't expect this from Ubisoft.

cool breeze · « **Reply #232 on:** June 05, 2012, 04:12:32 PM »

According to the french guy running Ubisoft, this is a PC, PS3, and 360 game. Confirmed demo was running on PC.
