#1 game on my radar now. Looked incredible.

 

[AranhaHunter]

I can confirm this game is running on PS3 and 360 at this point in time.

What? How?

Who is he and what cred does he have for us to believe him?

Either way, it was way too high end to be running on current gen HW while looking that good.

His profile says Tools Programmer at Ubi Montreal

 

[RyL]

no way this gen consoles can pull this off... I even doubt a state of the art gaming PC could do this (maybe with 2xGeForce GTX 690)

Game comes to PS3/Xbox360 and PC

Was the stage demo being from PC footage?

 

[sixghost]

What the fuck kind of sorcery did Ubisoft pull off? That's an impossible amount of detail for even a 360 game which has more memory than ps3. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?

He just said the game runs on those platforms, not that the demo was using those platforms. There were plenty of generation-straddling games between the PS2/PS3 eras that ran on both, but looked like shit on the previous consoles.

 

[Sethos]

Please don't tell me this is current-gen, it'll be marred with limitations and trickery to make it look good

lol c'mon son, it looked nice but it wasn't exactly an insane tech demo.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Looks great, but I'm hoping next gen looks better than this.

EDIT: Thought so.

 

[Osaka15]

Lol Ubisoft set the bar high for Sony and Nintendo with this game. But, such a bar does not have to be met by Sony, unless they show a next Gen title, as this game(watch dog) is obviously a next Gen title.

I work at Ubisoft Montreal. Take it or leave it. I can't talk about anything else of course as nothing else is official.

 

[Uno Venova]

lolz at anyone thinking this is for PS360 or Wii U.

Well, HA!

 

[Maxrunner]

Bodes well for a wii u version then...

Soo, which is it?

 

[Cipherr]

Holy fuck this is the best thing to come out of this shitty E3 yet.


FINALLY something interesting. FINALLY. Jesus Christ if I saw one more goddamn cliche shooter war covert zombie bullshit game I was going to toss my monitors.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Looks damn good. Will it look like that on 360/PS3? I have my doubts. Must be the PC version.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Montreal has basically all the world's best developers in the world in one place. Not surprising.

Ubisoft has shit the bed at just about every E3 in recent memory though. Mr. Caffine, lazer tag, their Vitality sensor, Micheal Jackson : The Experience, annoying hosts, and generally just no real games.

 

[Derrick01]

Does this hint at a surprise announcement at the Sony conference maybe? Kind of odd to be showing off a next-gen game when no systems have been announced. Or maybe it's just a high-end PC version of a current-gen game?

PC ports don't look THAT much better than their console counterparts. They look clearly better, but not enough to look clearly next gen in most cases. For a Ubisoft game who always ports to PC, there's no way it's just a high end PC version.

 

[Buckethead]

Environmental effects looked next gen (rain, trees in wind).

I'm sure textures, etc. will be more crispy as time goes on.

 

[The Game]

That game is awesome, cant wait for more details.
Best overall conference so far..

My money is on the guy who works for Ubi.

But that's just me.

It's probably been in development for years. It's totally possible.

 

[LiK]

next gen or not, i'll play this on my PC

 

[thecouncil]

No, I'm guessing demarco would arrive at the club and animate to a position by the bar or something, where you could engage him

I hope its more like that.
It looks REALLY nice but I don't like getting too hyped about a new IP so early... cause... what if it ends up being bad?

 

[Goldrusher]

I can confirm this game is running on PS3 and 360 at this point in time.

 

[Jucksalbe]

Will be interesting to see how the console version looks.

...

What the hell? I've got to see that. I can't imagine what it must look like on the PS3 and 360. That demo was basically linear game quality visuals in an open world setting.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Wow, it's PS3/360/PC?

Who needs next gen? lol

 

[Rengoku]

Screenshots in very high definition
http://www.gamersyde.com/news_e3_watch_dogs_announced-12923_en.html

Yeah, looking at those screenshots, theres no way the game is running with that level of detail on a console. Maybe its for current gen consoles too, but it'll be downgraded for sure.

 

[jett]

It's a high res current gen game. Just looks like PC screens. Are people seriously this impressed?

PCs demolish consoles.The quality of the lighting and the character detail is beyond any game on the PS360.

The animation was the most impressive part for me tho, it was almost perfect.

 

[MThanded]

This is what I got from the in game qr code

[Gamer @ Heart]

That trench coat alone at the start made me think it wasnt for current gen.

But man, two years into development and it probably wont be out for another year. This game must be expensive as fuck.

 

[DieH@rd]

It's a high res current gen game. Just looks like PC screens. Are people seriously this impressed?

You need to see it in motion. Its glorious.

 

[Data West]

Could be one of those early next gen games that comes out on both

Kind of like Hitman Blood Money.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Environmental effects looked next gen (rain, trees in wind).

I'm sure textures, etc. will be more crispy as time goes on.

It's not necessarily "next-gen". This is a high end PC game right now that may get PS360 ports that will be reduced.

Remember, Doom 3 and HL2 came out on Xbox.

 

[ironcreed]

These creative new IPs are what we need. Holy shit, what a great looking game all around.

Gameplay demo



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dTOnyp58NM

when he opened the door to rescue the man in the car the interior lights went on and when he closed the car's door the lights went off
this is definitely a next gen title

 

[D4Danger]

That looked amazing until he started shooting

imagine a Hitman style game like this with all the phone stuff.

 

[AngryMoth]

Done remember the last time I had such a strong reaction to a demo, maybe the original Assassins Creed. New IP, fantastic story premise, innovative gameplay ideas, unbelievable production values. Even if there's a version for current gen consoles I'm calling it now that this is a nextgen launch title. Holy fuck! Don't see how anything else could possibly beat this for my game of show

 

[bigboss370]

Only thing: Really hope it's not MP-only.

Otherwise: fuck-awesome.

this.


i was blown away o_o

and i liked the shooting part too!

 

[thecouncil]

im not gonna lie...

this game gave me a boner

Yep, and it gave aisha tyler girl wood.

 

[Scotch]

I really don't care about the graphics. I'm just pumped that it's something NEW.

This is why we need new consoles. Because a new console cycle brings with it lots of new IP's.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I work at Ubisoft Montreal. Take it or leave it. I can't talk about anything else of course as nothing else is official.

No prob.

 

[Holy Wars]

You need to see it in motion. Its glorious.

I've seen it. I watched the trailer.

I don't get it. There is no way this is a generational leap over what we have now. I'd expect this from Wii U, possibly, but not from 720 and PS4.

 

[Blimblim]

Ubisoft lists this game as PS3/360/PC on their press site.
I refuse to believe

 

[Satchel]

Looks fucking ace.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

I don't see how this is so unbelievable to be on the PS3 and 360. Looks like it is running off the new anvil engine and PC screens of AC3 look way better than the console versions as well. This is entirely possible for current HD consoles.

Looks really good and can't wait to see more.

gaf exclusive!!

so its for current gen then?

 

[kodt]

Looks awesome. Also, the city is clearly Chicago. Not sure why the OP says New York, unless it takes place in multiple cities.

 

[RaGe_pt]

If this comes out on PS3, my money is yours Ubi!

 

[MetatronM]

It looked like it was being played with a Wii U Pro Controller. At least that's what it looked like based on the position of the sticks.

Unless it was just some other generic controller entirely.
