There was a shot of a homeless camp at 1:40.
That looks pretty fun, but I'll hold off until it actually releases. They've still got a lot to prove.

I wonder if one year will be enough time to visit San Francisco.

I can't wait to spend most of the game just making enough money to pay rent.

Yet some people aren't. You could, you know...skip it.
Do people not realize their preferences aren't universal law or ??
As far as guns in gameplay, much of the appeal of open world games is the relative freedom and options. I'll be trying to go non-lethal but I'll reserve the right to resolve a situation by any means.
Please don't pre order Ubisoft games, wait for reviews at least.

Lol why are you telling him what to do? You people..
WD2's version of SF ->
(No homeless people in that trailer)
seriously though, the "gentrify this" billboard was pretty cool. I hope Ubisoft makes an explicit political stance regarding this and not have it be some cookie-cutter milquetoast rendition of 'anti-establishment' ideology

Can't say I've personally ever been betrayed by a Ubisoft product and I want the PS+ bonuses in addition to being able to preload it and not wait 12 hours after launch to download. In my eyes it looks like they've put a lot of effort into their product and made vast improvements over the original (which I was never interested in) I've also payed close attention to all the pre release material and countless opinions.
I think I'm good

The choice is yours whether to go non-lethal or blow all of your enemies away. Giving the player the choice instead of forcing it makes it more meaningful.
I think driving safely without killing anyone might be the hardest part of a no-kill game.

Never bothered with the first one, but I'm interested in this.
If you can go fully non lethal that'd be interesting. It's been awhile since I played the original but if it was an option there it was very practical.

Holy shit, they're going political with this game. Watching Theradbrad's playthrough and they've got a Martin Shkrelli side story.

The original WD doesn't have stun weapons of any kind. You could go about and take down thugs with the baton [which technically KO's enemies] but the outcome is the same. Pedestrians react the same to either, too.
All in all I'm very glad they're at least giving the option of going non-lethal. I find the concept of this gang of anti-establishment hackers running around with AK-47's gunning down average Joe just doing his job in security pretty daft. Thankfully Ubi realised the massive disconnect between the narrative and the gameplay as well and kinda bridged the gap with non-lethal weaponry.

I'm even more excited now. I love that it's very silly and tongue in cheek (cyberdriver, hipster merchant, wrench) but also tries to explores serious real life themes and ideas which I think is the right direction in addition to the stylish nature and having Marcus as a protagonist, then all the different ways to approach gameplay situations. Definitely worth my dollar
I might love this just as much as Doom and Dark Souls III

Ya its a unique tact. Not sure it works or doesn't I only spent like 6 hours with it

In the original you could "neutralize" enemies with melee takedowns or by shooting their limbs, which gave you less bad karma than killing them with headshots and body shots. There were some targets you had to kill no matter what. But it sounds like WD2 is designed so you can finish it without killing a single person.

For everything I experienced you can.
I'm right there with you! I just loaded it up again after spending a good 50ish hours with it, and went into a gang hideout. And it was awesome - there are so many combat options, mixing with stealth and hacking leads to some hilarious outcomes.
I just need the driving to be better, and the protagonist to be compelling. Marcus already looks like he has way more personality than Aiden. Hope it is amazing!

I'm really impressed with how the vibes of everything shown with this game has turned me back on the series after how much I dislike the first game.
Looks like a complete 180 from the dreary and melodramatic first entry. Very excited for this.

This has "strong game" written all over it. Liked 1, expecting to love 2.

Anyone with the time should watch this. Think it's fairly indicative of what the game is trying to accomplish in terms of tone.

Looks cool. I just 100%ed the first one and enjoyed it a lot more than i thought i would. Hopefully pc version runs ok. Not gonna hold my breath though. Hope they keep stealth as a real option for main and side missions. Loved doin those gang hideouts without raising alarm. Looks like they will still have that stuff.

Can we customize what Marcus wears? Because I can't stand the whole hipster look he's got going.

This look good.
I wasn't really into what the original Watch Dogs was putting out, so I never bothered buy it. This one, however, is hitting all of the right notes for me. I have a pre-ordered on Amazon, if only for that Zodiac mission.
Doesn't the Ezio Collection come out the same day or very close to the same day? That's pretty dumb.
Yeah. There was an event a while ago where outlets could capture some footage. A couple of them went into stores and bought new clothes and accessories.

IN many ways yes. We show it in our 2 hour hands on. You can get normal stuff plus various ingame brands
