The Rainbow6 Patriots project I was working on is getting retooled and most of the team, including myself, were reassigned to other projects here in Montreal. So...I'm now working on this, which was officially announced at yesterday's E3 Ubi press conference.

The basic idea is a large, GTAish open world game - set in near-future Chicago - in which you can hack the city and fuck shit up.
Here's more info and a trailer which explains the background of the game.

Kotaku link





Here's the gameplay vid. It's all in-game from the playable demo, so nothing's pre-rendered. If you ask which generation of consoles it'll be on, my answer is, "yes".





[edit] Reorganized to make sense. fuck u...

Saw the gameplay video yesterday. It looks truly awesome. For a racing game.

Looks awesome.

There's already some people interpreting stuff in that trailer as an ARG, though. Sigh.

It's almost too good to be true. Part of me wonders if it was just a scripted stage demo and the final game will be nothing like it.

This is the first thing I thought of too.

At what point will you know if they're using their bullshit always-on DRM, with server-side saves, etc. in this single player (I assume?) game? Or is that some shit they spring on you last second?

The car accident was fucking amazing. What I'm wondering though is if it's a scripted accident. If you can cause accidents and pileups like that at will then that's an amazing game mechanic. If it's scripted not so much.

In GTA you can cause pileups but they don't have that believable feel to them in Crackdown 1 you could snipe car tires on the highway and produce fairly impressive crashes and pileups but again, the ai in the cars had none of that believable reaction to an accident.

Any comments GKY or is this non disclosure material? :)

Ubisoft Montreal producer Dominic Guay feels flattered by the whispers of suspicion surrounding Watch Dogs, a new third-person, open-world action game from Ubisoft. After an impressive debut at Ubisoft's E3 2012 press conference, Watch Dogs left viewers questioning whether its sophisticated environments and lighting (among other things) are a realistic match for current consoles. The official line is that it's coming to PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.

Speaking to Joystiq, Guay confirmed that the E3 demo is running on PC, but emphasized that Ubisoft Montreal is interested in getting Watch Dogs on "all the platforms we can." That means Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions "for sure," Guay said. A Wii U version is still up in the air.

It's easy to imagine Ubisoft releasing a scaled-down, optimized version of Watch Dogs, positioned to take advantage of the large, established audience on current consoles. It's even easier to envision the futuristic property popping up in Ubisoft's typical barrage of launch games for a new system. Both scenarios could play out by the time Watch Dogs ships, sometime after 2012.

What kind of dumb question is that? Would you ask the same about GTA preview footage?

Most of it I can't really talk about. But I will try to answer your question: While the demo had a specific place/intersection for causing the accident, it's a global feature: you can hack any traffic light system whenever you like and watch the results. I have to say this game has some of the best crowd reactions I've ever seen...leagues beyond AC.

In short: all the features you've seen (and several you haven't) are systemic, so it's not scripted at all...you trash what you want when you want to.

Sorry I missed this.

I'm liking Montreal more than I liked it when I lived here in 2008...and it's 10 billion times better than the prospect of living in Bulgaria, which is why I came here last year...but it's still not my favorite place.

Whoops...didn't see this.

For me personally...the overall objective (since it's set in Chicago) is to cause more destruction and wreck more Chicago Police cars than the Blues Brothers.
