Looks like it might be good.

Looks amazing, like we mentioned in the other post.

If you don't get this game then you are not a gamer any more (Snowy) 

It looks similar to the Assassins Creed 3 engine, by Ubisoft too, if it is then it,s going to need a pretty modern PC to be able to play it anywhere near the kind of graphics that we see in the videos. It was AC3 after all that made me upgrade my CPU, Mobo and RAM.   

It looks like the release date has come forward to Summer this year, when I get it's actual date I will book a month off work to play this. 

The official site says fall of 2013.

This is one of the few games that has me interested. And I feel like I'm not a gamer any more. 

Must have missed that first time around.  I agree though the environment looks amazing and the animation is very convincing.  Just from the video I get a feel for it's immersiveness.  One to put on the list.

Ok, after watching this trailer, I'm intrigued. Still not as much of a fan of gunplay than I used to be, but I'll look for it once I get the new system up and running.

It's an open ended game which means you will be able to do what you want when you want, just explore the city if you like. Ubisoft are good at this type of game, at least they have been up to now.

Anyway Dave you don't have to use guns, a baseball bat would do just fine 

The latest trailer... I think they crossed the line between reality and CGI

It's been taken down. 

It's still on Youtube.




Some of it looks a little too good to be true, doesn't look like actual gameplay to me. 

Here is a new vid with some more info about the game and some new real gameplay, mixed in with a bit of CGI here and there.

Watch Dogs delayed 

Looks like there were a few bugs to iron out and to be fair Ubisoft games are normally pretty bug free on release, so it's going to be worth the wait.

A vid explaining a bit more about the game.

If you believe all this then the system requirements are basically a gaming rig :

...which as a game I guess that fits...

But what do we think of the i7 for recommended CPU ?

Found a useful site for comparing CPUs. I put my i5 up against the recommended Watch Dogs CPU, the i7

It appears to my untrained eyes that there is not a huge amount of difference.
