Watch Dogs 2 Trailer - Welcome to San Francisco Gameplay
- Thread starter dex3108
- Start date
Set pieces like those who are made (and shot at unusual camer angles for a video game) in that kind of trailer are OBIVOUSLY made to "look really fun".

Shit, looks amazing. Wish I could grab it but the PSVR just drained my game funds for a while. Hopefully I can buy in closer to the holidays but man, it looks fantastic.
Large improvement since the original.

It looks good but to me if I didn't know the title the first half of the trailer is advertised like a GTA game more than anything. I haven't kept up with the game and didn't play the first but is this what Ubisoft are going for in general with the game? Are they making a direct attempt to make something that looks very different to the first game (tonally and in other respects) while incorporating hacking and the likes to a smaller degree and level of focus than in the first game?

I ended by video after trying to tazer a dog and then killing them.The entire Ubisoft staff game to my booth and started flicking us good natured shit hahahaha.
They seemed to appreciate my screams of Fido Down from our recording booth.

The volume of traffic is kind of a let down, specially downtown and on the highways. Overall the game looks promising.

Can't wait to give this game a try. I didn't hate the original Watch_Dogs as much as everyone else outside of the driving mechanics. Expecting great things from this game.

Noticed instantly. There is a bit of a leanness to it.

Christ I haven't even seen the trailer yet and this thread is incredibly positive. What gives?

Previews have been going up on YouTube channels like ACG and theRadBrad that have a wealth of gameplay and seemingly positive impressions.

Can't say that I spent much time in the side activities in Watch Dogs, and WD2 looks like it's much more about that, and I have no idea what the main story is about. I might give a side activity a go, but that's not really what I want these open world games to be about. I never spent much time doing that in GTA V either. I prefer more of an actually living world with stuff happening ex tempore, rather than having separate minigames I have to initiate.

Err... Damn. That was a good trailer. I was gunna hold off because xv is right around the corner, but might have to play.
And there's no ps4 pro patch at launch right? I don't really mind just wondering.

Looks ok, nothign great but after Mafia 3, I just dont trust that the gameplay will be all that interesting and less Ubisoft'ish. Then again, I managed to finish Mafia 3, so cant get worse that that? Can it? I did enjoy Watch Dogs 1 but at that time I wasnt fed with the open world formula. Now, im kinda getting sick of it.

With the stuff I did(I spent the entire time exploring the game world) you see wind maps and some secrets. I assume at the very least races and some exploration mini quests

Is there a first person view option?
Karak
Member
Not for person but for all vehicles and boats and such yes
Cool, sailing would be awesome. I was disappointed that sailing boats in GTA5 only used the motor.
Is there any diving?

Shame, hope one gets patched in. I prefer exploring in first person

There will be a patch, yes. It was one of the games they showed off during the Pro's reveal. 1800p base res then checkerboard rendered to 4K. That's what the game is getting at the minimum; there might be more work they have done since then and launch.

Unknown. We spent a lot of time trying to smash other peoples boats and went full pirate for awhile lol. But didn't go far enough into clothing options to see if later you could get them. I would guess no. At least from what I saw

What if I enjoyed the first one? Also, they showed the game many times in it's final state before release.

Game looks like a significant improvement over the original, but the writing is still really mediocre. Hopefully the game is fun enough for me to look past that.

Too late. I really like the first.
I'm super excited to play as the kid from Dope.
Especially coming from Iconic White Male.

What's the reason in pre-order again? Not like there's a stock to run out of.
Preload if you're digital.

Yeah, but these are trailers from the game 6 months before launch and less, not two years out, which they've done to avoid that same situation from happening again, in addition to people actually having the chance to play through the game and give their honest opinions, not closed off E3 demos. If you don't want to pre order it that's fine, but myself and others are smart enough to make that desicion on our own. We'll spend our money how we choose. Ubisoft is at least making an effort to put out honest marketing and quality products with Watch Dogs 2 and the next Assassin's Creed game, and looking at everything that's gone into this game it appeals to me and I'd like the opportunity to play it the second it releases, and I will do that by pre ordering and enjoying the extra content bonuses.
If you don't want to that's fine, but stop complaining about what others are doing.

I keep saying it but the tone of this game is all over the place. It would be so good if they just took out the lethal options and focused on stealth and more appropriate options.

It's your choice on how to approach combat, which gameplay wise I think is best. From what I've seen the game is silly but also focuses on serious real life issues, and there's really nothing wrong with that, life isn't one way or the other and neither are people, there's a time and place to be silly or serious and there's nothing wrong with portraying both. I can see how it would be jarring in a short trailer but imo this is the most interesting route for the game.

Got myself a significant discount as a result. Only going to end up paying about $35 for it

I visited San Fran a lot when my sister lived there so I'm looking forward to this.

Looks as boring as the first game for me, just a bit more colorful.
I can only hope it has less bugs than the first game.
