Coming this April: Watch_Dogs by Ubisoft

In the Electronic Entertainment Expo E3 2013, a game stole the limelight-- Watch Dogs (stylized as Watch_Dogs) by Ubisoft. This Open World, Action-Adventure game caught mass attention. All right, you might think that Open World Action-Adventure games are like Grand Theft Auto (GTA), but Ubisoft came out with something special-- hacking. Yeah, HACKING! You play as an Irish-American vigilante, hacking electronic systems via your phone. Awesome, isn't it?


Smart Phone Hacking, great concept.

Most of you have probably watched the game's demo. In case you haven't, here are the videos:

Introduction to the game

Throughout the videos, we can see that the actual gameplay is not so much on aggression,  but more on stealth. The game feels very different from GTA or SaintsRow. To me, it brings a different dimension and perspective to games, overriding other typical open world action-adventure games where you sort of go out like Rambo! 



The release date is rumoured to be around April-June 2014. Of course, it is expected to be a huge hit.
