Leak: Watch Dogs 3 Legion shows up on Amazon UK (Confirmed by Kotaku) [Play as any recruit and other details listed]
- Thread starter TheBrokenMan
- Start date
The first game is better if you play it as a stealth shooter ala splinter cell but the second is a much better hacking simulator with a much more likeable cast, better art direction, and better thought out sandbox game design.
Honestly if Driver: San Francisco wasn't set in a coma dream and didn't have a lighthearted tone it would be the most extistentially horrifying game ever made
Its like the world conspires to leak Ubisoft stuff. When they manage to control info within the company, something like this happens lol.
Imagine mapping out each NPC. I can't see how they did it without some major repetition. Maybe procedurally generated characters that fit certain class buckets.
I would imagine the approach being making some kind of Farage parody character in a side mission and your job is to mess with him somehow.
Speculation: Procedurally generated NPCs who each represent a character and some form of choice and consequences system that evolves based on the NPC you choose and who they interact with.
Sounds incredibly ambitious which is the best type of Ubisoft game
Live footage of me playing the game:
Hah I can imagine that. Maybe this could attempt something like this? Imagine controlling someone only to not being able to go back to your original body because someone kidnapped it or some deus ex machina shit happens.
I like that, a lot. I've gotta wonder if GTA modding/theater creations inspired this mechanic somewhat.
Who's laughing now? I could replace all instances of the phrase 'Watch Dogs' in any given article or discussion with 'Iconic hat' and nobody would lose track
Yeah this is my main concern. If it's really dark and gloomy like the first game I feel this is a step back in the franchise for me personally. I loved WD2 so much because it felt all colourful and fun.
Play as any NPC is fascinating, especially in a city as diverse as London. If I can experience a variety of stories by playing as different characters, I think that's extremely cool.
Hmm, I was really hoping for Watch Dogs 2 in London to be honest. I'm open to what they've got cooking here, but a far future setting with body hopping... Sounds a bit disappointing to me. But will reserve judgement until I've actually seen the game, obviously.
really hope it's not too late into production and they can add something involving milkshakes.This will be the most powerful and feared weapon in the game
I don't think Ubisoft has ever denied that Watch_Dogs was a political series, though. The last game's marketing campaign largely hinged on mistrust of Facebook in the modern electoral climate, and the game itself was littered with commentary on the state of San Francisco as the tech industry pushes non-wealthy people to the fringes.
If they're also taking the extra step of making this a post-Brexit dystopia, I highly doubt they insist the game has nothing to say about politics.
Legion, like We Are Legion? Get it? You get it guys, because there hackers?
YES UBISOFT WE BLOODY GET IT

"Play as anyone" just makes it sound like the protagonist doesn't matter. How do you write any layered or nuanced interactions while trying to base yourself in present-day politics if your protagonist is literally anyone?
These were my first thoughts too. Sounds like ZombiU a little bit...
I'm picturing something more along the lines of how MGSV had you build up mother base, and you could play as members of your combat squad.
I knew it would be disappointing but worse than I thought, ugh Ubisoft.
And yeah that Brexit stuff will go nowhere other than some really limp basic messages.

Same here. After Watch Dogs 2, I'm interested in the series but I'm unsure at the moment based on no main character
With the talk of "recruiting" from Jason, I'd bet there's still a central protagonist. You just have the option to swap around and play as other characters, but the events will still revolve around that one.
Dystopian? Now that is interesting.
I prefer the darker tone of the first game.
I didn't liked the second game.
