The Old PlayStation Thread | *NEW THREAD IS UP*

After about 2 hrs of play here what i take from WATCH DOGS...

1st if your going in thinking its gonna be like GTV then your mistaken and might not like the game. Outside of being free roam open world, and some of the cues ala like the mapping, the way waypoints etc are, things of that natture, there really isnt much similiar.

There isnt really any fighting, there is no kick/punch etc... hell there isnt even a jump option. There is a takedown/sneak attack button and thats about it. You can pick up/craft objects and use them to attack ppl. The aim/manuever set up etc is very similar to hitman.

The hacking isnt just in the game just for the sake of being in the game, many times itt is needed to solve/find clues, set up opponents, gather info intel useful in completing missions and side jobs. Also just  to get to certain areas in th city, or into buildings etc. You also can use hacking/wire tapping to prevent/intervine crimes. Or to find things you may need later in the game...ex: you hack a guys office pc and see a email between him and someone else talking about exchanging illegal weapons at a certain place and time. You can use that to set them up and come in and take the weapons for your own use. Or if you catch a guy with a sketchy background...and you use his webcam to see he is watching kiddie pron. You can anonymously report him to the cops and get bonus points to increase hacking skills, or tools etc.

There is interaction with the background and ppl of the city, you can step up and play 3 card monte for money, chess with folks in the park, etc... Can hack things like snack machines to get food/drinks/asprin etc... You can also use your phone to play mini games that can earn bonus points etc... And when i mean phone i mean the one aiden uses, and you as a person can use your real life smartphone to interact with the game...(gotta d/l app).

Like GTV you can buy clothes, weapons, cars, homes things of that nature...but you can also buy spy equipment and other electronics...or earn them by either... taking on contracts, or by hacking ppl phones, tablets, laptops etc... and getting information. You also can take things you find in the city to either pawn and get cash trade for something useful, or make create weapons etc with it.

It sometimes uses that qte...kinda like max payne 3 uses, it also has a hitman vibe.... in that when your to close to a person your hacking, a sonar kinda goes off letting you know you should shutdown, or step out of scanning range. Ppl can and will also try hacking you so you have to be on the lookout for that as well....including the police.

Graphic wise it doesnt blow you away but it is clearly better then a last gen system. Most of the detailed graphics shine in the environment, and the qte, slowmo action scenes.

You have the option of using you phone to interact and hack ppl on the go...or you can use a friends or someone else psn name and hack and disrupt someone elses game with your cell/tablet...(havent did it since i dont know anyone else with the game, and the app isnt available yet.)

Overall i give the game a solid 8/10... It plays nothing like sleeping dogs, it isnt the new GTV, there isnt just random attacking beating folks ala like GTV or Saints Row. There really isnt just a free for all kill/destroy just for the hell of it element. I would recommend this game. It really outside of inFAMOUS SS: the best new gen game out there..unless you just fixated on certain games and genres ala just a sport guy or just fps or a certain series guy ala only play ff or cod,grand theft etc.
 
I wonder if they're going to reveal the enemy faction in that preview for The Order: 1886. The non-human beasts from the fog in the trailer.

TAKE-TWO EXTENDS AGENT TRADEMARK, AGAIN
Agent was originally announced as a PlayStation 3-exclusive game in 2009.

BY EVAN CAMPBELLTake-Two Interactive extended its Agent trademark earlier this week, a PlayStation-exclusive game first announced in 2009.

The Agent trademark was renewed last year, with Take-Two extending it May 21 with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Almost six years ago, Agent was announced as a PlayStation 3-exclusive game, from the folks at Rockstar North, the team behind Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V.

A couple of years later, in 2011, Agent was confirmed to still be in development, as information about the 1970s espionage game was scare since the initial announcement. Images of Agent also leaked in 2011, but for the most part, not much is known about the game, though former Sony executive Jack Tretton said it would have the same sort of impact as the Grand Theft Auto series.

IGN reached out to Take-Two about whether the Agent trademark extension means the the game is still in development and whether it will be showcased at E3 next month. "We have no comment on the matter," replied Alan Lewis, vice president of corporate communications for Take-Two.

In a financial call earlier this month, Take-Two mentioned that it was releasing an unannounced next-generation game for this fiscal year. Whether that description would pertain to Agent at this point remains to be seen.
 
EVen though Watchdogs graphics downgrade is the main talking pint. I'm glad that it sounds like the gameplay is unique.

im following the game but im not getting it...if its based on the past how do they have pretty much modern day weapons? They using old school gun powdered cannons... yet have semi auto weapons.

From what I've heard the devs say,
It's an alternate reality.

It's like in Dishonored, they use whale oil to power stuff rather than electricity.
