    Um...just looks like another series of cut scenes tied together with a little bit of gameplay.

    TBH, I'm getting a little tired of that format.

    I actually was shocked and disappointed when hearing that this game got cancelled by Ubisoft. But glad that didn't happen and it's just 2 months away to see the actual gameplay of this game. Can't wait to see it on YouTube videos. Hopefully, Ubisoft will nail this game.

    Erm, well that trailer was a story trailer, so naturally most of that is going to take place in cutscenes.

    I've seen extended gameplay videos and it's all open world stuff.

    I'd definitely like to play it. Hopefully the gameplay is tight and the controls locked-in. There's rarely anything worse for a game with a good conceit than dodgy controls/gameplay mechanics ... so hopefully Watchdogs is tight as a drum.

    5/5 from Examiner - http://www.examiner.com/review/watch...-053014-9.00am

    It's yet another brilliant IP to add to the Ubisoft portfolio and it's one I can't wait to see where it goes next. Watch Dogs is a Game of the Year candidate. It delivered on its promise of being next-generation. Ubisoft is in the business of doing things differently and thinking outside the box, obviously.

    Pretty solid game.

    If your console is connected online. They do this thing were other players can sneak into your game and try to hack you(they are told not to hurt you). The interesting part is it is called seamless multiplayer or something. Pretty great idea to be honest. Other players(as the main character) are given the mission to hack you and not get caught. You are the main character but see everyone else as total strangers. They see themselves as the main character and you show up as a stranger on their t.v.

    If you are trying to hack someone, you have to be pretty good at hiding cause if not the other player will find you pretty easy. I have managed to punk a few people but I have also had a few people outwit me as well. It's a good challenge.

    It took me a few times to realize that the person trying to hack me wasn't an NPC. I got into a crazy ass car chase with one cause I caught him hacking me. Well he was doing some crazy driving and the whole time I'm thinking "damn!! this is an AI???".

    You can disable the feature but you lose all reward points by doing so. I might suggest simply unplugging your ethernet cable if you don't want any online surprises .
