That wristband... WHY WHY, just give him a normal watch for gods sake.

iconic wristband

 

[Charcoal]

If I met someone like that in the real world I would not be friends with them.

 

[Kusagari]

Why is his bomber rolled up though.

Makes it iconic.

 

[Jb]

I already hate him. It's the clothes mostly.
Good job Ubisoft.

 

[Renekton]

Jaden Pierce

 

[Trago]

The fucking wristband LOL.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Now that's what I call iconic.

 

[stuminus3]

I don't think there are lenses in those glasses.

 

[lcap]

Looks really nice, hoping they improve on the already good gameplay.

 

[Mashin Haters]

is there a problem with him being asian or having glasses??

 

[KingSnake]

damn he has small hands.

Pandering to the Trump supporters.

 

[Warxard]

He looks Asian-American. If so, good. At least not generic white dude.

If this were any other developer, I would've expected the worst of the characterization if this is really an Asian-American.

But Ubisoft seems to be pretty on-the-ball on not making cringey ass, trope filled PoCs.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I mean, he looks like a bit of a hipster douche, but literally nothing can be worse than Aiden Pearce.

 

[Falchion]

Looks fine to me, I'm not going to judge the quality of the main character based on one screenshot.

 

[CHC]

Also are they wearing jeans backwards? I see pointed pockets in the FRONT.

 

[idonteven]

no way...another boring dude ?

 

[Hanmik]

the proportions of the hands are so strange..

and the one that is holding the phone is much bigger, even though it is further away..

 

[KenzinFive]

Wish it was more like Elliot from Mr. Robot (hoodie, dark clothes as "urban camo" to blend in).

Based on this pic we instead have Hipster Hacker 2.0.

I haven't seen Mr. Robot, but I've heard excellent things. I hope people at Ubisoft watched it, since it should be a huge influence on a game like Watch_Dogs. However, this game was probably in development well before the show's first season ended.

 

[salromano]

A "new video game series" huh?

It's not a series till it gets a second game =P

 

[Sheppard]

Well. If they have to copy something.

 

[Bluth54]

I don't know what you guys are talking about, clearly his jeans are the most iconic part of the outfit.

 

[Tambini]

Can't wait to buy all that #merchandise

 

[NESpowerhouse]

Also, please for the love of God, tell me that he has a man-bun under that hat.

 

[Newtype-001]

Glasses reminded me he looks like a light skin Tinie Tempah

 

[bargeparty]

pls no

 

[giancarlo123x]

Ubisoft leaks are always right. I'll wait till I hear and see the dude in action before I pass judgement.

 

[Nugg]

I can't wait for the $140 edition with the cap, the wristband and the iconic glasses.

 

[GeeTeeCee]

Those iconic glasses though

Hmmm? I was thinking it was the scarf that was iconic.

Maybe the hat, glasses and scarf are all iconic? That's three separate special editions (Iconic Edition?) to sell right there, Ubisoft. Money on the table.

 

[Nibel]

Can't wait to see people cosplaying this ( ^ _ ^ )O

 

[007]

Hackers always layer up

Speaking as someone who does not Tweet, what is the etiquette on how many hashtags is too many? Jesus Christ. #poster #confused #NotTheNumber #It'sFuckinTuesday #yolo #GAF4lif3 #midgetGlasses #smallhandsbigdingdong

 

[LAA]

Looks awful if true. Reminds me of something I'd expect to see in Saints row.

 

[Shadax the wizard]

10/iconic.

 

[Salty Rice]

He looks Asian-American. If so, good. At least not generic white dude.

Now i wish they would have motion captured Scarlett Johansson as the protagonist

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

At least this dude wont look ridiculous in a snapback.

 

[takriel]

lol, have fun playing as this guy and feeling for this guy people

 

[Raptor]

Looks like pure garbage.

:/

 

[JigglesBunny]

That's an iconic design if I've ever seen one.

 

[Brazil]

That iconic hat.

 

[DeepEnigma]

So many words... but I will remain silent, lol.

 

[jelly]

Haha.

Pre order for iconic white scarf with a hint of cyan at GameStop.

 

[Morts]

Getting me interested in a new Watch Dogs is a steep hill to climb.

 

[LAM09]

Looks better than Aiden, so it's a start

 

[PapaEmeritus]

Those iconic glasses though

I think you meant the iconic wrist band

 

[eFKac]

I know nothing about this character, yet I already dislike him :-/

 

[Always-honest]

iconic tiny hands.
That right hand is just really too small compared to the rest.

 

[Kusagari]

So he's got an iconic hat, iconic scarf, iconic glasses with no lenses, iconic jeans that look backward and an iconic rolled up bomber jacket.

Ubisoft has reinvented the iconic game here.

 

[old manatee]

I couldn't tell if it was a millenial until I saw the pushed up jacket sleeves.

 

[Sheriff_Battlesnake]

He looks fine, people just want to shit on it. He's a dude being sneaky who wears glasses.

 

[liquidtmd]

He's hip, he's got 'tude, he don't take no lip
