Watch Dogs Legion

So sounds like a new Watch Dogs is going to be announced at E3 based on leaks at Amazon UK.

https://www.pcgamer.com/au/watch-do...st-brexit-london-according-to-amazon-listing/

Nice to see a game set in London, can't think of many recent titles (Vampyr maybe?), though less keen on politicising it about Brexit lol. Watch Dogs 2 was an improvement on the 1st but still felt a by the numbers Ubi open-world title in many respects.

Interesting tidbit about being able to play as anyone in the world:

Elsewhere, the listing informs that you can "play as anyone".

"Every individual you meet in the open world, has a full set of animations, voice over, character traits and visuals that are generated and guided by gameplay systems."

Guess we will know more next week.

That looks like a launch title for next-gen. It seems very ambitious for the current consoles.

Not wrong, interesting to see how the mechanics work.

The name has been confirmed, so guessing everything else is accurate.

I feel like this is almost certainly not going to be as described, but i guess i can wait for my disappointment.

I've had the original Watch Dogs for years but have never actually installed and played it.

Better to go in with low expectations generally

Me too. They gave it away for free on Uplay, IIRC and it's still sitting in my library to be downloaded when every other game has been deleted or some catastrophe. i.e. I can't see me ever installing it now.

No way Watch Dogs would lie about their game, honest is their middle name

Debatable...

^ I'd have to agree, personally thought the first game was far superior to Watch Dogs 2.

Taking the Legion leak with a large pinch of salt, but it sounds promising.

Might finally see the benefits of Brexit

Tek81 · 6 Jun 2019 at 14:15

Ugh, heavy political undertones incoming. It'll probably be based upon a society in which the government has enforced the mandatory implantation of microchips in people's heads, in order to quash political dissidents. Hence the NPC control.

something daft already!! · 6 Jun 2019 at 14:27

All the hype over the first one and it looked nothing like the screen shots. I'm not fussed about these games. I'd be more interested in a new GTA.

SS-89 · 11 Jun 2019 at 01:55

Colour me intrigued! Will see how it progresses.

Josh · 11 Jun 2019 at 06:13

Sounds promising but the “Hollywood London” accent irks me beyond belief.

Not by the time they have downgraded the graphics for launch and you realise that 99% of the characters are just going to repeat the same voicelines and have some side event that's been generated from a stockpile about 20 deep.

Looks great can't wait to play. An ambitious back story from the game devs. This game may perhaps be one of the better things to come out of brexit...

ShiWarrior · 25 Mar 2020 at 20:02
