If Ubisoft were smart they would get Rami Malek to be the new protagonist.
Mr. Watchdog
I'm looking forward to a new WD. Recently got back to the first one, and while the story doesn't do much for me I like the side missions esp the hideouts and locating the CTOS markers. Felt the use of cameras was well done in these. Nothing better than taking out enemies remotely while hiding somewhere safe.

Set in SF? Seriously?
We finally get a Chicago-based game, and now we move to a city that's already had a bunch of games.

@poll: Elon Musk.
Watch_Dogs had some really good bits and some really bad bits. A lot of the characters were just nails-on-whiteboard-scratchingly awful, but the missions were usually fun even if the stealth very rapidly hits a skill ceiling. I liked the superhero vibe they had going on with where the main character was going, it was an angle I didn't really expect them to take.
If they take some cues from MGS5 to make their stealth more interesting, and get a new set of writers/character designers then I might look into getting it.
I got the first game free with my GPU, so I played through it more out of interest than desire.

I'd buy it if Aiden Pierce was the villain.

Keep Aiden Pierce, develop him rightfully, make him a likeable character.
Jesus, like a character can't be redeemed in a better written and directed sequel.
But Prototype.

Yeah I dont think they really need to get rid of him, just greatly improve the writing for the character
If Ubisoft were smart they would get Rami Malek to be the new protagonist.
If they do that I'd pre-order and buy any merchandise connected with this damn game. Love me some rami malek and mr robot lol.

Fool me once... Will wait for reviews, gamer impressions, GAF impressions, military impressions, Top Gear impressions and anime fan impressions for this one. Although I might just wait for the alien invasion.
Ubisoft, you lost me! Can you hear me? You fooled me too many times!

San Francisco seems like the perfect location for this.

They either need to get rid of him, or harness everyone's hate for him and turn him into the baddie. He has absolutely no redeeming features whatsoever. I literally don't know what they could have done to make him a worse character.

I am just gonna guess that the hero will be San Fran hipster style + Ezio cocky prototype personality.

Yeah that was a terrible approximation of Chicago but it was still fun seeing familiar landmarks and features of the city.
Would love to see another open world game set here someday.
Please no Aiden (I can't even remember his surname). The Bad Blood DLC was the best part of the first game, if only because the protagonist wasn't such a hateable blank of a character.
If this and the AC rumour are true, would it make sense for Watch_Dogs and AC will release once every two years, alternating franchises?

I enjoyed the 10 hrs or so I played of the original, so I'll be on the lookout for this.. I need to hurry up and finish the first one though.

San Fierro in GTA San Andreas is the closest until now I think.

I played watch dogs at 100% i enjoyed it a lot (but there is many flaw, but it's a first episode.
After all, Watch dogs was made by guys from GTA4 and Diablo 1-2 (yes yes!)) .
BUT GTA5? I played it 15 hours i quit. It was boring to me and i don"t know why.

I'm down. Watch Dog's gameplay is a lot better than the GTA game's.
You didn't have to steal their money. That was all you.
I liked the first one. I'm in.

So between this and the AC news I'm guessing the new plan is to have them alternate years?
Probably the best for both franchises, honestly.

The first game get too much blind hate.
It was functional and quite fun at times. A little more fleshing out of the gameplay systems and it will be a legit gem.

I was interested in the idea of AC finally taking a year off until I had that thought too. Essentially they'd still be putting out an AC every year, only now every other one will be modern day.
Would not surprise me if they reveal 'revolutionary new building climbing mechanics' for WD2.
