The most impressive game I have seen in E3 so far : WATCH DOGS

No one pays attention to the age restrictions... I played Call of Duty with friends well before I was 17 and I regret it in some ways.

I know it is simulated, hence the comparison that I posted.

 

Here's the problem then....

 

No.

first thing its staged for sure, second thing E3 is full of lies and dont believe any gameplay you see there
they all add more details to the game and stage the hole demo
the biggest one of them is Killzone .

another thing about this game and another one called the last of us made by crash team (Naughty Dog) .
both of the game are passed on the companies great success game but with different theme and some gameplay changes and some new elements , the core is the same and the basics is the same
sadly all this is not recognised by the new generation and the casual players too .
i feel its the same thing as milking the older great games and i hate that so much .

 

Yeah, I remember when I got all excited about killzone, and this friend told me "-don't believe that, José!, they ALWAYS do that...it's not how the game's going to look. ".
If you check out the killzone ps3 trailer, then the killzone ps3 gameplay... the differences are shamefull... SHAMEFULL.

Now I'm not saying this is the case with watchdogs.... I think the graphics can, and probably will be as good as in the video because of DX11.
But hey, the game's not out for a year, that means they still got to finish a few things right? So what kind of gameplay are they showing us?

The game's probably going to rock, but I just don't guarantee myself it's going to be 100% faithful to that "gameplay" video.

 

All ubisoft demos were confirmed to be running on High-End PC's, using controllers merely for demonstrative purposes. We're (PC gamers) already in the next-gen! Just look at all the current titles maxed out, it's really not hard to tell.

 

Really,
Besides highly detailed characters and environments (heavy content driven), i haven't seen anything impressive this year at E3.
Something that shows really fresh new gameplay ideas.

 

A man with conciouscience.

Everyone knows that little 8 years will play this game because of how they see their older brothers and dad's and television hyping it up.

Nevertheless, I don't like it and won't play it, and mabey jacksheils is in this camp as well. It shouldn't be acceptable period if morals are valued at all. I'm not a politician, I'm speaking from a moral, human, standpoint.

 

What's wrong with violence? This game is pretty mild when it comes to violence. I overall see nothing wrong with ingame violence. If your kids play 15-18 games, it's your fault and only yours. I played violent games way before I was the recommended age. Nothing bad has happened so far, haven't killed anyone. I will most definitely get this game because it looks amazing and fun.

 

Being concerned with violence in games/tv/literature should be the parents responsibility and based on a kid by kid basis.

I have 2 kids and both have played/watched violence. This was done at slow intervals with me or thier mom there to answer any questions and make sure there is an understanding that its FAKE!! My oldest enjoys CoD, MW series and many more, but they are games and kids get bored with them.

You make a big deal out of running over something in a fake world and your more inclined to make them try harder to play.

And my big thing on this topic. It is the developers choice on what type of games they want to sell. It is the parents responsibility to decide what type of games thier kids can play. Not the developers. Pisses me off when adults dont want to take responsibility for thier own children and expect companies and the government to do it for them.

The trailer looks cool, but nothing overly impressive. I would probably give it a try after it has been out for a year and has dropped in price.

 

People have to realize that just like a lot of books and movies, many games also are not for children.

 

Contrary to what Fox news will tell you, society is getting better, and there is no moral breakdown!!1eleventy!1!. Violent crime is down to historic lows, and is trending downwards. Most countries have more rights-affirming legislation today than they did in the recent past.

 

That's us indie developers niche angle into the market and to be honest I'm happy if the AAA boys don't tread there

 

There is definitely an undercurrent of disappointment this year.

I think there is an opportunity for indie game developers to have something similar to E3 but more of a fan/media expo. The media would eat it up and gamers would get to see something fresh.

 

+1 on this.

The game concept isn't generic, the gameplay seems cool, the graphics look amazing and the character is badass. Will surely be pre-ordering this for console once it gets a release date.

 

+1

Not sure what the fuss is all about this game. The gameplay looks extremely boring to me because its so slow. Tapping phones and listening to conversations in real life already sounds like a boring activity so I can't imagine how fun this can be when used as a gameplay mechanic. Hope they can add the fun in it.

However, the graphics are very nice but graphics alone do not make a game fun. Anyways, they ran the demo on a PC that's why its so nice looking. The game won't look as good on the current consoles unfortunately.

 

No, but graphic is selling. And for offline game you need to sell, it is not important that player will finish game in 2 hours or will die of boredom....Vast majority of current games is crap with nice graphics. And people are buying, so why gaming companies should try to do something with gameplay?

Morality is, contrarily, not a physically quantifiable substance.

 

To translate, I assume you're saying that you, personally, believe the world is becoming less moral, regardless of what statistics tell you. That's a shame, and while many others may agree with you, you don't speak for the world at large.

The internet is largely to blame. Now that, as a global society, we're exposed to ALL of the worlds twisted darkness, we assume that everyone's sick and demented. That's not true. You just get to see the sick minority now.

Humans are evolving, and, for the most part, for the better. This is contributed to by people in the spotlight (entertainment media) being allowed to tell stories. These stories, more often than not, have a deep, morally sound message. (Even if, sometimes, the ends don't justify the means.)

On that note, look at the World Trade Center, then look at the Death Star and check out the similarities in those tales. You let your kids watch Star Wars?

 

I understand where you are coming from with this post, but personally I think the new mechanics they showed off can potentially be very interesting. I think this is more of a difference in opinion, wherein I might like a slower, more strategic approach to games while you might like fast paced action more. Neither opinion is wrong, but it seems that this game focuses more on the former opinion. However, I am annoyed and slightly put off by the fact that they had to cram in gunfights as well. It's almost like cover shooting is a requirement for games nowadays, and it's really annoying to think that you could possibly use your hacking abilities for combat but instead they just went for the direct approach of shooting people. Also, it seems like it's trying to bring in people who like action, but as you can see from Patapouffe and others, this technique isn't working so why did they bother?

Basically, they should have gone all in and made the game focus exclusively around hacking.

 

There is no need to get aggressive. Please don't lump me into the far right just because I objected to a fragment of the wild freedoms we glorify in Western society.

I would argue against that theory. Humanity appears to regress the more progressive we become; why is the US fighting war upon war for no reason right this minute? Why is my country the rape capital of the world? It may be foreign to you living in a developed country like the US (of course not your fault), but come here and you can lose all faith in humanity. The story is the same all over (Brazil, Pakistan, Iran, China, Zimbabwe etc. etc.). There are only a handful of countries that can boast about filling the "progressive" role.

But again, as I said - morality exists in the heart before the actions, hence my prior statement.

 

I apologize if you got the wrong impression. I wasn't being aggressive at all. In fact, I was trying to be hopeful. The point of my last statement was that violence exists. It always has, and it always will. This is part of humanity, not contrary to it. It's pointless and somewhat naive to attempt to hide from it or cover our eyes.

Sure, being an american, I may have a skewed view, but I also work and talk with people all over the world on a daily basis, so I'm not entirely blinded. Don't think, however, that your opinion isn't a bit skewed as well.

All media exposes us to violence, cruelty and indifference. Video games give us the rare opportunity to control that; to take control of a life that many (including you apparently) don't feel you can do in the real world.

Violence is a tool, and based on this conversation alone, you can see that its a powerful tool.
