Watch_Dogs - step aside GTA

[Tricky Dickys Right Foot Shot]

GTA V Looks good the map is 4 times bigger then that of GTA IV
not sure when it's out.

Fuck that the map on GTA 4 was fucking outrageous. I got bored in the end

The only GTA I've given up on, I'm not even half way through!

I think its because a lot of it is forests etc.

There is no evidence for this. Dan Houser has said that it's the largest yet, but other than that there has been no indication of the size.

GTA has always been a pretty 'simple' game.

This looks like it could go way above anything GTA has ever done (mostly drive, shoot, drive, repeat).

In what way do you mean simple mate? I agree that most of the missions are pretty similar, i.e. they involve driving somewhere and shooting someone. But in overall terms, I've never seen a game with anywhere near the complexity of GTA. That's why it takes hundreds of people several years to make each one. The physics, pedestrian detail, humour and continuity simply aren't seen in any other games yet.

I want it to be more open, more choices on what you do and how you shape your character which takes you on a certain storyline throughout the game.

GTA IV was so one dimensional and closed off it was boring.

Lets keep on topic, here is a seperate thread for GTA 5.

I read that its 4 times bigger too. I think they invited a journalist to see it for a bit and he just said that in his opinion it looks 4 times bigger.

My mate told me before that he read up on Watch_Dog and apparently it's fire for release early 2013 so will most likely feature on this gen consoles but will just push them to the max!!

Good news as this had become my 2nd most anticipated game behind AC3..... Funny how both are designed by Ubisoft!

Usually in substitute to gameplay though. Looks good though, think GTA 5 will be better.

The graphics are the best i think i've ever seen (although i'm starting to get disappointed with this gen console graphics, i'd have thought we'd have moved further on by now)

This to me is where GTA-V should have gone (hacking into phones, CCTV, traffic lights etc through the use of smart phones and ipads. It all seems very current.

I don't see how GTV will top this, but tbf i haven't seen anything from them yet.

MS and Sony both said there consoles would last 10 years(both came out in 2005).
Having said that it wouldn't be surprised if it was announced at next years E3, they have already made the developers prototype of the new Xbox so that devs can work with it.
Also I read some where that Watch dogs is supposed to support next gen graphics, but don't know how true that is.

i do like the idea of hacking and using it to your advantage to get things done, like you said it seems current and its an interesting way to go with it all. The bit at the end where he makes the bridge go up so he can escape is cool and adds a new dynamic to get away from cops and the like.
They haven't said for certain but it does look like it will support drop in and out multiplayer too, which is nice.

Exactly the missions are the same, the map is big, but also restrictive and pretty linear; you can't explore every building etc

The graphics have been done in RDR and in LA Noire; admittedly one of those was also developed by RS.

It could be hype but it genuinely seems like Ubisoft are onto something with this one.
