I just hope the PS4 is out before the rumoured December launch date.

blky · 13 Aug 2013 at 19:18

as long as its out before xbox one, then win

Seriously can't wait for this, but I wonder how well they'll implement the whole smartphone thing.

I can't be bothered with the hassle now lol, I can't even remember what was originally in it. :')

Im still a little skeptical that its going to get extremely repetitive rather quickly, every vid i have seen shows him stopping a car using the barriers, its cool but i wonder if theres as much variation as they are making out? I hope so as it looks promising

Must admit I thought the same thing. I will see what the reviews are like before I buy.

Yeah, but that's just one part of the game though, and it's still an improvement over most open world games where you simply have to outrun the police. At least here you have options, however limited they may be.

Edit: I've also seen a video where he stops a car he needs by changing all traffic lights at a junction to green, causing the car to crash. I've also seen him raise bridges mid-chase, and blow out steam pipes as well, so there are definitely a few options to help you escape trouble.

Shamikebab · 14 Aug 2013 at 10:29

Indeed, they showed a few of the options in that video.

Plainsong · 14 Aug 2013 at 10:32

Ubisoft are on a roll. It's gonna be great

I get the impression that at least some of these events are scripted to be part of a mission though, rather than being spur-of-the-moment type things. The traffic light scene you describe from the first trailer (if it even makes it into the final game) was definitely scripted.

I still feel sorry for the guy he pulls from that car.

Still, hopefully there's still enough flexibility to allow you to do things on a whim rather than it all being reserved just for particular moments in missions.

Shamikebab · 14 Aug 2013 at 10:38

Things like that have to be scripted to some extent, it would be almost impossible to react quick enough in game to (for example) change the traffic lights at the correct moment to cause an accident.

Yay glad im not alone here, im not bashing it or anything but i just want a game thats fresh and varied

Ill await reviews too to actually see how the ps4 version differs

I just hope that thee is a little depth to the hacking of passwords and it's not just click a button on an in game app.

I want to have to work a little for it.

Agreed, dont make it tooo casual like most other games

Kosmiche · 14 Aug 2013 at 11:56

Which looks like the better game, this or the division?

Genuine question, I'm not one to look at many pre release videos anymore.

Plainsong · 14 Aug 2013 at 12:01

The Division looked incredible. More excited about that than Watch Dogs.
