Ubisoft has released a nearly ten minute-long trailer for Watch Dogs, showcasing everything you could possibly need to know about their upcoming hacker game. It's only two weeks away, so the time to learn about it is now.
Watch Dogs - Only 1080p for PS4?
This is basically a supercut of every previous Watch Dogs trailer and will fill you in on everything you need to know about the game, covering the hacking, characters, multiplayer, and more.
The hacking portions are certainly what everyone thinks about first when they think about the game. You're going to be able to hack into a citywide network and take control of cameras, traffic lights, cell phones, atms, the works. Every single character you come across in the game is unique and hackable- you can follow their lives and ruin them if you so choose. You can steal identities and spy on people with camera, and utilize roadblocks and traffic lights to stop pursuing cops. You can even blackout the entire city of Chicago, and you know that the first time you do that is going to be jawdropping.

Another huge portion of the game is the multiplayer. Ubisoft is seeking to create a seamless online mode that works in conjection with the single player campaign, where people can invade your world and start hacking things before you even realize it. It sounds awesome and thrilling and somewhat in tune with what the Dark Souls series did, with the ability to invade other people's worlds. The companion app allows player to take the place of the city and add a whole new level to the game.
Check it all out belo!
Even though this is pretty extensive, there are still tons of unanswered questions and so Ubisoft has also released the following FAQ. Check it out below.
---
1. Are there day/night cycles in the game?
Yes, there is a real time day and night cycle. Time of day is not scripted.
2. What weather systems can the player expect to experience?
We have a lot of different weather possibilities from sunny and calm, to stormy and rainy. Wind, rain, fog and clouds all have several degrees of intensity and are all systemic.
3. How do you manage to ensure every NPC is unique?
Every NPC has unique qualities that distinguish him or her from others in the game. There are over 3000 character kits and an almost infinite amount of unique profiler possibilities.
4. How many concurrent NPCs can there be?
The number of NPCs players can encounter at one time depends on a variety of factors like time of day and location. If it’s mid-day, then players will see more NPCs going about their busy lives. At night, we have fewer NPCs reflecting the patterns we see in the real world. The downtown core of Chicago is also a busier area with lots more citizens than a more industrial region, for example. Our main goal was to ensure that the world feels as alive as you’d expect in a major city like Chicago. And of course, the next gen consoles allow us to place more NPCs in the world than we’ve ever been able to do in current gen consoles.
So it’s hard to give specific numbers, but rest assured, the city will feel alive like players have never seen before with many unique NPCs populating the city.
5. Can you hack absolutely every NPC in the game?
Yes, every NPC can be hacked. Based on their profile, a variety of hacks are possible. You can also hack elements in the world to influence the behaviour of NPC’s around.
6. What different environments can the player expect?
Chicago is a rich and diverse city and we want the player to explore every inch of it There are 6 different districts in WD, all with really different looks, types of NPC’s and vibe.
7. How many different vehicles can the player drive?
Over 75 different vehicles from bikes to compact, heavy, muscle, off road, SUV, luxury cars, or speed cars, all of them with their own realistic physics.
8. How many difference hacks are available in the game?
Over 100 hacks.
