Watch_Dogs, Ubisoft’s new open world title, is confirmed to have a multiplayer free-roam with at least 8 players.

 

When a fan asked Ubisoft Montreal’s creative designer Jonathan Morin if Watch_Dogs would have multiplayer with at least 8 players on Twitter.com, he replied confirming the idea. Since Watch_Dogs’ latest update, the confirmation of it’s release date, as well as the restoration of it’s trade mark, the game seems to be getting back on the tracks as it was superbly popular among gamers after it’s reveal at Sony’s Press Conference. After the delay, the game lost quite a bit of footing and was all but silenced among the community. Watch_Dogs is set for launch May 29th on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC, Wii U, PS3, and PS4 platforms.

 

According to www.pcgamer.com › News  Watch Dogs wont be using the same engine as the Assassin Creed series. It has a larger mulitplayer free roam than some games. The largest free roam game i can think of is Daggerfall from the Elder Scrolls series. I believe it was 100,000 sq miles but suffered with poor graphics. It it an MMO? It has up to 8 players according to the article.

It seems that this means the free roam could get complicated like say hacking a player try not to get hacked by another player How will hacking work? Puzzles? Game encryptions?- All the cross platform games have reduced multiplayer sizes. (old gen and new gen)

 

The maneuverability is similar to mass effect and gears of war. Hopefully its more like GoWs because it worked better. In Mass Effect it was difficult to take cover properly but you could take cover in more places. Am I wrong? It would be cool if there will be an easter egg with Spencer Reid crying in the alleyway. It also wouldn't hurt to have a Witch(L4D2) easter egg. The engine in Watch Dogs was originally meant for a racing game. The Ubisoft team realized that the engine was better suited for an open world game. They decided to change the game after realizing that another driving game was in production. Could this be forza 5 or Grand Turismo? Some gaming experts speculate that Watch dogs will have a more scripted storyline than gta v and less freedom. Watch dogs is confined to a city while gta v spreads across a broad landscape. Additionally, Watch Dogs will have a number of mission rivaling that of Assassins Creed Brotherhood; which is a phenomenal number! This far out shadows GTA V.  It would still have some free-roam. According to Worldversus.com GTA V is favored by the gaming community. It won a poll constituting 63.09% of the poll’s voters leaving Watch Dogs with a measly 36.91%. This poll may not be fair considering that Watch Dogs hasn't been released yet. Watch Dogs may be much better than GTA. I have little doubt about that, but do these factors involving the games landscape really say much about the gameplay? Does pop culture want a higher quality specialized game or something more versatile? Could Watch Dogs be just as malleable and popular as GTA V; the game widely considered to be one fo the most anticipated games of all time. By more popular do you mean pre-release hype? If not then I'm really unsure if that is a legitimate statement since Watch Dogs hasn’t been released yet. Figure out for yourself which game is and was more anticipated.

Thanks for the help guys! :D
