What is going on all you fellow gamer fans. This week I was able to get a hold of a copy of Watch Dogs, the newest release from UbiSoft. It is a great open world game with a greater focus on stealth and hacking, rather than murderous rampages, to complete your goals.
So what is WatchDogs About?
The storyline of Watch Dogs explores the impact of technology within our society; bringing to the forefront the concept of information warfare, data being interconnected, and the world's increasing use of technology— questioning who exactly runs the computers they depend on.
The game is set in a contemporary fictionalized version of Chicago, Illinois, which is one of many cities to feature a supercomputerknown as ctOS (Central Operating System). In this version of Chicago, everyone and everything is connected. The city's overarching network controls almost every piece of technology in the city; banks, security cameras, traffic lights, communication hubs, and even key data on the city's residents and activities have been complied into the system and can be used for various purposes. In the game's universe, the Northeast blackout of 2003 was found to be caused by a hacker, prompting the development of ctOS.
Whats the Gameplay like?
Watch Dogs is an action-adventure game played from a third-person perspective. Players complete missions—linear scenarios with set objectives—to progress through the story. Outside of missions, players can freely roam the open world of Chicago. In the game, players take control of a vigilante named Aiden Pearce, who can hack into various electronic devices tied to the city's central operating system (CTOS), allowing various methods for the player to solve numerous objectives.[7] The hacking mechanic in the game is performed directly from Aiden's in-game smartphone, which is equipped with multipleapplications, namely the "profiler" and the "crime prevention system"; the former allows the player to access information on any citizen in the city, while the latter notifies the player when a crime is likely to occur in the vicinity. The phone is also equipped with applications that interact directly with the environment around the player; for example, players can hack into NPC's phones to retrieve bank data and steal funds as well as unlock new cars, weapons, and in-game music, or they can hack into traffic lights to cause collisions.[8] Players can also receive information on civilians via augmented reality feeds, providing them with information on demographics, health and potential behaviour. Equipment is also provided by smartphone apps, which can be used to summon cars and weaponry. Players can stop trains, raise security barriers, and black out the entire city and can slow down time to shoot.
Whats a Lets play?
The lets play will be a full video play through of the game from beginning to end. I will try to keep commentary lively and interesting so be sure to give it a view!
