UBISOFT?'S GROUNDBREAKING NEW TITLE
WATCH_DOGST TO DEBUT ON PLAYSTATION?4 COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM AT LAUNCH

Ubisoft? Showcases Exclusive Live Demo at PlayStation? Meeting 2013

NEW YORK - February 20, 2013 - Today, following the announcement of the PlayStation?4 from Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE), Ubisoft? revealed that its highly anticipated open world action-adventure game, Watch_DogsT, will be available for the launch of the new system.

As demonstrated onstage today at PlayStation Meeting 2013, Watch_Dogs' ambitious scope illustrates that Ubisoft is once again at the forefront of new technologies, giving freedom to development teams to create unprecedented entertainment experiences. Development of Watch_Dogs is being led by Ubisoft Montreal, with support from Ubisoft's Bucharest, Paris, Quebec and Reflections studios. Receiving more than 83 awards and nominations at E3 2012 where it was first announced, Watch_Dogs blends cutting-edge technologies and sophisticated game design into a realistic, living open world.

In Watch_Dogs, players will experience the realities of living in our fully connected society, where individuals and corporations are at risk of exposure by our ever-increasing reliance on networks and technology.

Players will assume the role of Aiden Pearce, a new type of vigilante who, with the help of his smartphone, will use his ability to hack into Chicago's central operating system (ctOS) and control almost every element of the city. Aiden will be able to tap into the city's omnipresent security cameras, download personal information to locate a target, control systems such as traffic lights or public transportation to stop a chase, and more. The city of Chicago is now the ultimate weapon.

"Ubisoft has a strong history of supporting new technologies with unique and creative offerings," said Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer, Ubisoft. "The power and capability of the PS4 allows the Watch_Dogs team to further push the boundaries of what was previously thought possible in interactive entertainment."

Watch_Dogs will be available on PS4 at launch, along with its release on the PlayStation?3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360? video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the Wii UT system from Nintendo and Windows PC.






PS4, Ps3, PC, xbox360, AND Wii U confirmed. (next gen Xbox almost assuredly as well)


Pretty sure the E3 footage was PC. Ps4 ps4 of course. Alot of noticeable tearing. Reflections and shadows looked notably worse too I think.
:Edit. Nope. reports saying it was PC both times.

It was hard to tell how bad the game looked graphically over the feed. It appears to be better than GTA4.

I am curious as to how it will play. There must be some limits to what he can phonehack and I can probably suspend belief to enjoy the gameplay if it is good enough.

Nothing they've shown of it yet grabs me at all. It looks pretty enough I guess, but the plot sounds like a tired clich? and the basic premise is absurd even by videogame standards. And to nitpick a bit, I certainly hope that the main character's running animation isn't final in the videos we've seen so far; it's the worst I've seen in a long time.

Then again, it could turn out to be another Sleeping Dogs. That game didn't look like anything special either and ended up being one of the best sandbox games since Saints Row 2.

Besides Bioshock and something else that I'm inevitably forgetting, I'm probably most excited for this game

If this turns out half as good as the videos show, this game will be the shit. Glad it's coming to PC. I don't want to jump into the new consoles immediately, but I have a feeling we're in for some very exciting stuff and I'll probably end up getting one of them near release.

I'm betting that the X360/PS3/WiiU versions are going to look and/or run like shit and be as lifeless as GTAOnline is.

Really looking forward to this for the PS4. It's probably the first game I'll put in my new console.

Hmm... I'm getting this for the PS4, but maybe it's also worth getting for the PC. But then again, I didn't buy Skyrim for the PC, just PS3, so maybe not.
