I'm actually pretty happy with this choice of location if true, San Francisco was great in both The Crew and Driver San Francisco.

I feel like we would have heard about this title already if it was aiming for November. A tease at E3 2015 or something.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
So what's going to be downgraded this time? Besides my expectations I mean.

Will it star an unlikable prick who can steal money from everyone but it's ok because BATMAN and he has 'morals'?

Aiden Pearce was the single worst protagonist I've ever had the displeasure of playing as in a game. Like, holy sh*t dude - all your problems are self inflicted, you're a total douchebag and I have no sympathy for you at all.

Sounds good. Announcing and releasing in the same year will be nice. Hopefully you're not another asshole like Aiden Pearce.

Who asked for this? :(

EDIT: Man Im whiny, but WD just had nothing to redeem itself - plenty of other things Ubisoft could have brought back for ACs off year

Waiting 2.5 years to release a sequel is far more restraint than I expected from them, if this is a similar step up to AC2 it could be really good.

Please Ubisoft, a new protagonist PLEASE. There's no saving Aiden.

No AC? Feels strange if that is the case.

Or are they gonna try to tie AC and WD together for real this time beyond a few easter eggs?

Please gimme Raymond Kenny this time around, he was actually fun unlike Aiden.

as I expected. they're going to alternate between watch dogs and ass creed. and make billions in the process.

god these games are so ass
 
Echoing others in this thread, Aiden Pearce made Watch_Dogs a thoroughly unpleasant story to trudge through. If he returns, he better die in the prologue.

I really enjoyed the first one. It wasn't exactly what I had hoped, but I'm really looking forward to a follow-up.

I enjoyed the first one so sign me up.

Please no million different preorder bonuses though from every retailer under the sun, shit needed a spreadsheet to work what you missed for preordering from X retailer.

I liked the first one, can't wait for this. I hope they bring back the app and lessen the number of special/limited editions.

Kotaku in this article is saying AC is being slowed down to a biannual franchise rather than annual.

I liked him. It's fun to play horrible people sometimes. I mean, he endangered his family for his own personal gain. Give him a chance!

I actually am perfectly fine with a new Watch Dogs. Game wasn't the worst thing ever, but felt like AC1. Maybe WD2 will be like AC2 and fix the problems.

The gunplay in Watch Dogs was excellent. They sound amazing too.

That pulled me through the whole game. That and the visuals and awesome score.

Two major things Ubisoft:

1) Get rid of Aiden Pearce. Either ignore him or kill him off at the beginning.

2) Don't make it just another Ubisoft Template.

Put legitimate effort into the side missions instead of copy and pasting everything, either fix the driving or stop making driving missions, and give many alternatives to combat.
