Looks really good and the trailer had me giggling with excitement at few cool things.
BUT
Ubisoft. So we all know what that means:
- PC release delayed and delayed for funsies
- Stupid DRM
YAY UBISO.....oh wait.

That's what I thought. Neogaf are having orgasms over the video. Looks far too scripted to me.
I think they confirmed they were running it on PC.
The thing is if it isn't scripted then it is amazing. The NPC animations look so good!

They can riddle that with whatever DRM they like, I'm in.

Looks amazing.

It's the sheer amount of NPCs which give it a more life-like atmosphere that impress me the most and with everything else looking decent enough as well.
Surely there has to be a Times Square type area and then we can really see how well this game looks and crams so much stuff at once.
It certainly gives a clear indication of where the next generation of open world games could go in the level of detail if Watch Dogs is possible on the current technology.

Yeah I wonder what other options there are if you fail that like a retry or if there is a time limit to do that mission in another way.
Or it could become a Far Cry 2 scenario, the car loops around.
Ubisoft Montreal did make Far Cry 2 as well.
I really can't believe you're moaning about things to do. That's the best thing about it - that it's actually trying to do something different.
The problem with PC games, in my opinion, is that they're nigh on always FPS or TPS (HL2 / Deus Ex / UT / Doom / Quake / Etc.) the list is nigh on endless. So when I see something that's differerent I look forward to it rather than be aprehensive that I may have to press a few buttons rather than running forward pressing one.
It does look really good kinda like a Blade Runner theme going through it as well.
Certainly one to watch.

The other interesting thing about this game was the multiplayer angle at the end of the demo from the ubisoft press conference, looks like it possibly has at least online co-op.
For anyone that hasn't seen it, at the end of the demo at the press conference instead of driving off in the vehicle the camera cuts back to another player watching the aftermath of the car crash from a rooftop who is shown being controlled by another guy on the stage.

The demo was probably made just made to show off and usually about 90% of the time with onstage gameplay demo footage like this, the gamepad holding dude is never actually playing it. All part of the BS stage theatrics and why sometimes the gameplay looks a bit too perfect.
"Watch Dogs blends cutting-edge technologies and sophisticated game design into a realistic and living open world where players must use any means at their disposal to take down a corrupt system."
Any means sounds promising. And don't you just love those other two words. Open world..
I can't wait.
