Ubisoft has this week released a new eight-minute demonstration video walking you through the features and gameplay you can expect to enjoy whilst playing the new and highly anticipated Watch Dogs game.
After a few unfortunate delays, Watch Dogs is now available to pre-order for PC, PS3, Xbox 360 as well as next-generation Xbox One and PlayStation 4 games consoles.
Watch Dogs will be launching worldwide on May 27th, 2014, and will also be available on Nintendo’s Wii U games console during the autumn.
Innovative Multiplayer Modes
“Check out Watch Dogs’ groundbreaking multiplayer modes where everything and everyone is connected. Learn how Watch Dogs is blurring the line between single and multiplayer, and get a glimpse into three distinct and exciting modes including Online Hacking Contracts, ctOS Mobile Companion App, and Competitive Decryption Combat.”
The multiplayer modes in Watch Dogs are designed to offer a seamless experience that integrates with the single-player campaign. One of the standout features is the Online Hacking Contracts, where players can invade each other’s games to steal data. This mode adds an element of unpredictability and excitement, as you never know when another player might be lurking in your game world.
The ctOS Mobile Companion App allows players to interact with the game world using their mobile devices. This app can be used to hack into the city’s infrastructure, providing a unique way to influence the game even when you’re not at your console. For example, you can change traffic lights, raise bridges, and even trigger explosions to aid your friends or hinder your enemies.
Competitive Decryption Combat is another thrilling mode where players compete to decrypt a file while preventing others from doing the same. This mode requires strategic thinking and quick reflexes, as you must balance offense and defense to come out on top.
Gameplay Mechanics and Features
Watch Dogs offers a rich and immersive gameplay experience, thanks to its detailed open-world environment and advanced hacking mechanics. The game is set in a fictionalized version of Chicago, where players take on the role of Aiden Pearce, a skilled hacker seeking revenge for a family tragedy.
One of the core gameplay mechanics is the ability to hack into the city’s central operating system (ctOS). This system controls everything from traffic lights to security cameras, giving players a wide range of options for completing missions. For example, you can hack into a security camera to scout an area before infiltrating it, or you can manipulate traffic lights to create a diversion.
The game also features a dynamic weather system and a day-night cycle, which add to the realism and immersion. The weather can affect gameplay in various ways, such as making roads slippery during rain or reducing visibility at night.
In addition to the main storyline, Watch Dogs offers a variety of side missions and activities. These include stopping crimes in progress, participating in street races, and solving puzzles scattered throughout the city. These activities provide additional challenges and rewards, encouraging players to explore every corner of the game world.
Watch Dogs has been praised for its innovative gameplay and deep narrative. The game’s emphasis on hacking and surveillance offers a fresh take on the open-world genre, setting it apart from other titles. Whether you’re a fan of action, strategy, or storytelling, Watch Dogs has something to offer.
