From IGN
During its press conference today, Ubisoft revealed Watch Dogs.
After two years of development, Watch Dogs is set to “revolutionize the way players interact with each other.”
The game focuses on a computer controlling the city. Our lives are controlled by computers, "but who controls the computers?"
The game focuses on data turning against us. Data is interconnected and "everything can be hacked."
Creative director Jonathan Morin from Montreal hosted a short playthrough of the game, played on a PlayStation 3. The game follows a character named Aiden Pierce who uses his "fists and wits."
The game appears to be set in Chicago and featured gameplay that included jamming technology, used in a group of people to make their cell phones stop working. Even cars could be stopped, creating traffic accidents.
Interestingly, scanning a QR code that briefly appeared in the demo leads to dotconnexion.com, which appears to be a viral site related to the club seen in the game.
We'll add more details as this story continues to develop.
