Ubisoft Currently Showing Off Watch Dogs Legion Demo (Different From The E3 One)
- Thread starter Crossing Eden
- Start date
I really like that lol. I can't remember the last game I played that had that feature.
I wonder just how long they spent doing VO to make sure people don't consistently get the same voice.
They use voice modulation. Obviously not to the extreme but enough to make voices distinguishable.

Full map:
The world and mission areas don't appear to reset themselves when a character dies.
Nine Elms is such a weird choice.. I guess the US embassy is there now though.Full map:
Overall very impressed though.

Electric bullets are non lethal.
Outer layer and inner layer of clothing are separate when before it was just "tops," and there's now an option for gloves:
They're going all in.
Actually I went back and checked, the clothing customization is actually deeper than it was in WD2.

It's very clever. Also looks like you can choose to let them get arrested - which following the trend Ubisoft's most recent games will probably mean you have to personally break them out of prison if you want them back
Much more exciting map than WD2. Reminds of GTA4's urban densityFull map:

Layered customization is awesome! I'm also happy that we can unequip eyewear and bags now.

That's because it's almost a year away from release. They have a studio mandate to not fluff up demos. Coincidentally the other London game they released 4 years ago looked quite poor at e3 compared to the final product.
I think I'm sold on this game. Absolutely a day 1 purchase for me.
One can hope.
Just started WD2 some weeks ago and it looks really sharp and colorful on my PC - hope Legion will as well.

There's a timer when characters get arrested. There are characters who have a stat bonus that leads to less arrest time. And you could circumvent that timer completely if you find recruit a lawyer character.
They've confirmed that legion will have raytracing support at launch on pc so it'll definitely look better.
Do you have a timestamp for when they show the map in the video? Thanks.
The direction recent Ubisoft games have been going, it's likely your progress in the mission won't stop and the mission will just be "loose" in the open world. So you hop into another character and head over to the mission and flow straight back into it. They probably keep other characters nearby as backup or something (or perhaps that's an upgrade or sth).
Also bear in mind you don't have to get killed. You can surrender if the fight is too tough and you get one "life" to fight on with, but throw away that life and they die.
I mean I fundamentally disagree anyway - character management looks snappy and fast as fuck.
Fucking yes.Electric bullets are non lethal.

Now if there's see type of plastic surgeon or hair style options it'd be perfect
I remember hearing about this a while ago. Do you remember where you heard this?
Yes they said you have to break them out and if you have recruited lawyers or criminals who've been in jail before, it would help. Not sure how that works but I'm intrigued.

The way it works how most longer games with perma death work. Think Fire Emblem instead of Super Meat Boy.

Second video at the beginning (01:55 onwards). OP has also now graciously added a clip showing it in thread marks.
Yeah was gonna ask this too. I really want to see it on my TV.
So we don't go into stores anymore? Surely there are still restaurants we can enter and such? I have always loved the interiors in WD games, Rockstar take note.
Pretty much the map I expected; AC Syndicate's, but bigger. This game is going to be incredible, easily one of my favourites of the whole show. If they manage to accomplish what they're promising, it could change a lot of stuff in the future of open world games. NPCs being full fledged characters is such a next-gen idea.Full map:

Reminds me of Mordor's Nemesis system but now for main protagonist.
Genius. I'm so glad I predicted that haha. I'm sure they have perks that can lower security or get the prisoner to an easier to reach location or something.
It's not unlike in Odyssey where you have to weaken the Leader of a region with side activities and it changes their context, or the whole bounty thing with cancelling your bounty/wanted level by killing the person who put up the bounty
Ubisoft are all about the gameplay solutions to strategic challenges the days, it's amazing
The difference visually compared to what they showed during their conference is quite visible, damn. But many Ubi games now have not suffered from the whole downgrade thing, so it should be fine.
Driving definitely looks better now.
At least there's only 8 regions and not like 40 ala Origins and Odyssey, haha
It also makes more sense here, where poorer parts of the city will have less police firepower but like Westminster will be a fortress
Ubisoft are all about player driven stories, and it's not that easy to die in a Ubisoft game, so I'm thinking lots of cool narrative stuff will happen like you becoming attached to your various characters and a natural sense of your own "ensemble/buddy/caper" movie will come together
Also hope they do some narratively crazy stuff later on. Let you play the villain, add some surprising characters, kill off or imprison characters at certain plot beats, etc
The potential for it being your own, dynamic TV series is really wild
Is it me or does it look like they upped the brightness? The nighttime doesn't look as dark and nice as in the official trailer and gameplay from the show.
I'm really digging the new melee combat.

I loved OG Mordor. It felt truly next generation for me. Sad part about that little slice of reminiscing is that I didn't touch the sequel due to the MTX system. Looks like I'll have to play the hell out of WD3 to make up for my loss lol
Watch Dogs 2 got very close but this could end up being one of my favorite city sandbox games if they nail what they are going for.

It's a shame you allowed yourself to be mislead by the forum. I beat Shadow of War the week of release and I would have barely known there were any MTX at all if it weren't for the dozens and dozens of threads on GAF into Era at the time. They weren't at all prevalent in the game or even remotely necessary. It's as embarrassing as all the people who were spreading false info about the grind in AC: Odyssey being massive if you didn't purchase the XP booster pack. I mean, you constantly got bathed in XP if you bothered to engage in basically any content at all.
Basically looks like a AAA open world rogue like with some stakes to reckless play. Which is an interesting idea.
Got too many tabs open and I was like "cool, some animated 2077 clips, seems like you can mod V pretty wel...wait Big Ben?
