Did you watch official footage in 4k or on stream?

Because it's incredibly ambitious, and no game has taken on anything quite like this before. You can be sure to look forward to a handful of GDC talks from folks at Ubi going over how they achieved this, because it's literally groundbreaking.
Quite a change from the Ubisoft of yesteryear, who as recently as 2014 got in hot water for complaining that it was too hard to animate female characters.
What stopped them? Hutchinson said it was "purely a workload issue." The team didn't have a "female reader for the character" at its disposal, nor did it have "all the animations in place."
He went on to say that "in the future, moving forward, this sort of stuff will go away" once developers settle into the new and improved technology.
Different NPCs start with different resistance levels. You can't just tap on anyone's shoulder. If they're not predisposed to appreciating Dedsec, then you have to study them, their environs, their schedule, and their relatives, then try to find a way to build sympathy with them. So presumably employees of Albion have super high resistance to being recruited, and then who knows how quickly they would get caught.If every character in the game is recruitable, what's going to stop me for getting enemy characters with legal access to enemy compounds, and literally walk through the campaign?
Basically buy them a pint, give em a fag, or a nice shag, and then we're in business. Nice.Different NPCs start with different resistance levels. You can't just tap on anyone's shoulder.

I imagine this is totally possible, but an Albion employee would have to be pretty careful not to blow their cover. As soon as they're rumbled you're going to lose their access.If every character in the game is recruitable, what's going to stop me for getting enemy characters with legal access to enemy compounds, and literally walk through the campaign?
Yep I was surprised at how ugly it looked.The graphics looked pretty damn poor. Like a step back from the first game.

Yes the reveal trailer of the first game felt way better in term of quality than this but I think it's mainly the character design here feels poor or cuz the idea that you can control any NPC is the culpritThe graphics looked pretty damn poor. Like a step back from the first game.

That was just an skin for your character. This is a whole recruiting system with perks, abilities and different personalities. State of Decay on steroids.That 101 video was fucking amazing.
But didn't Prototype technically do this like a decade ago? Not at this depth but similarly you could turn into any NPC (including cops) and you could infiltrate high access areas if you stealth killed military leaders and then morphed into them.
This is a fully simulated society. You can follow people as they go through their daily lives.That was just an skin for your character. This is a whole recruiting system with perks, abilities and different personalities. State of Decay on steroids.
Which is what I said. Far from Prototype as I was responding.This is a fully simulated society. You can follow people as they go through their daily lives.
I was just reinforcing how amazing it is. Not anything against what you said.
Ahh yes, I agree with you, sorry I thought you interpreted my post differently.I was just reinforcing how amazing it is. Not anything against what you said.
the shooting looked bland, like where's the blood effects and stuff. driving still looked mediocre too. all the other stuff like recruiting and grandma was rad though.
I don't know but if they can pull that off and everything else, it would certainly be a game that goes down in history. At the very least a GOTY contender.Ahh yes, I agree with you, sorry I thought you interpreted my post differently.
I do wonder how true is that full schedule, it sounds kinda crazy for such a big game haha
That old lady really felt like a unique and fresh representation. I can't remember if I've ever controller a character that age in a video game.
Is not that odd, the second chapter was kinda mediocre in the graphic department.The graphics looked pretty damn poor. Like a step back from the first game.

I think Nobody buys watch dogs for the graphics (except the first one).
First time i hear someone calling wd2 one of the best looking games tbh...Watch Dogs 2 is one of the best looking games, what are you talking about ? And its filled with advanced graphis options to tweak.

This actually looks incredible. Very interested by this "Play as anyone" idea. Hopefully it's implemented as well as they presented it.
Bummed that there's guns, as I think they're just shoe horned into games these days without much thought. Us Brits are better than guns, don't force them into our hands.
Looked interesting but all the guns really turned me off. It really looks like literally every person on the streets is carrying a gun with them, didn't recognize that when I last visited the UK lol

I played the game...and is not near the best open world games in terms of graphics...especially human models.Meybe try playing the game then or look it up maxed out. Since so few people gave this game a shot im not surprised. Calling it mediocre graphically though is just bullshit
I still think that's fucking unrealistic. In all my life the only time I've see guns is holstered on the hips of police officers. And I don't think a dystopian Brexit would see thousands of weapons imported in the UK.I think that's part of the point behind the TOTALLY APOLITICAL setting. Brexit has led to Britain becoming a dystopian hellhole run by extremists and heavily armed mercenaries, leading people to have armed themselves out of fear of the new establishment.
It, depressingly, makes sense.
And you can actually see some cool elements in the gameplay footage like shocking people via their bluetooth headsets.
