I dunno, it also looks relatively sparsely populated as well. And some of those nitpicking gifs have people standing right next to gunfire, pretty much ignoring it.

Relatively sparsely populated in a leaked multiplayer beta?
Watch Dogs story seems very character driven
Despite the view that Aiden is the typical action hero that many people seem to be worried about or have already adopted as fact, he is a deeper character than meets the eye. For example, he gets frustrated, good sense of humor, has feelings of sadness, etc. He seems to put everything behind a brawny exterior to keep himself doing the difficult things. To go further, his mission/revenge doesn't seem to be fueled by anger or rage, but because he knows he has to.
The dialogue between characters is superb
Some missions share similarities to Assassin's Creed and GTA, such as tailing people but the hacking aspect differentiates the game from GTA and Assassin's Creed.
The hacking aspect puts a unique twist on the stealth gameplay because you need to also be aware of the people near your character as you're hacking a security camera for example. It adds a type of difficulty and spatial awareness to the game, which I'm a fan of, personally.
The contextual climbing doesn't seem as clumsy as AC sometimes does, which is probably because it is no where near the same level or amount of it. With that said, there doesn't seem to be a lot of control over it on your part. For example, Aiden will automatically do a side-wall jump to climb up something big.
Graphics
Graphics/Visuals are top-notch, especially for last-gen consoles i.e Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
There aren't many NPCs roaming about and number of cars are also limited.
Everything works smooth. Some cutscenes transfer seamlessly back into the gameplay.
Jumping out of moving car aka "Ragboll Physics" is hilarious but looks pretty realistic
Daytime isn't nearly as washed out as others would have you believe. It's pretty realistic within the city where there's a lot of shadow cast by the building, but outside of the city, it's still a little washed out and bright.
Small/Maybe Irrelevant Details
Players will be able to download songs from other people's phones
The backyards of houses vary greatly, as well as the design of the houses.
The outfit you choose for Aiden stays persistent through cutscenes.
The hideouts are sick and will remind me a lot of batman, if he were a hacker and didn't wear an outfit and wasn't rich.
The durability of cars varies depending on the type of car. Muscle cars are pretty durable because they're meant to last, for example (source is from a loading screen tip, not direct observation)
There are Assassin's Creed Easter Eggs in the game, but not the way that you'd expect. The two series may not be in the exact same universe, but they are definitely connected as AC is represented as video games. I understand that Abstergo Entertainment supposedly makes video games. Still, they share story mechanisms just like the AC games that we play. Also, I'm not talking about the game box that's on T-Bone or Defalt's desk
That weird rumbling start/take off for cars seems to be the wheels peeling out. My guess it's starting to drive with the trigger immediately pressed down all the way, similar to slamming the gas the moment you want to go.
There's lots of cussing.
At least for Xbox 360, loading times are long, even for small things like restarting at a checkpoint.
edit: This is all from a 360 version of the game that was leaked online. So take it with a grain of salt.

Well shit. Looks like I'll be stopping by the ol' computer shoppe on the way to work.
EDIT: Looks like it's going to cost about $350 for a new board and an i5-4440. It'll be about $30 more for a 4670. Not too bad, really. Too bad I don't have the money.

Looks like my gaming PC will most likely run it at "Medium to High" settings and the PS4 will be running at the high settings equivalent. I was also planning on using my PS4 controller to play it on PC, so really it comes down to 180 lines of resolution being the difference.

I think I'll just pick it up for PS4.
probably 30 fps of difference as well. but in the grand scheme of things i doubt any of it really matters as long as the console versions aren't super framey.
So Gamespot posted a video of them playing Watch Dogs for an hour. I watched about 15 minutes then stopped, as that was enough to know I wanna play this game.
Favorite parts was them jacking a car only to have the lady immediately run away and start calling the cops. So they jump out, chase her down and grab her phone from her which means no cops come.
I mean we're playing a hacking game here c'mon. Gotta be on the computer.
Wait until Uplay gets hacked, denying access to all the pc players.
The meta circle will be complete!

If anyone is interested in purchasing a code for the digital download for PC (for less than regular price), please PM me and we can work out the details. I"ll be getting it for XB1 and playing with friends on there.

I know some streams are playing leaked copies atm. If someone does happen to accidentally find one: let us know how the draw distance/pop in looks on the PC version please.

Yeah, it's on a few other boards as well. Not sure how, but quite a few people seem to have PC copies already. Expect a flood of info in the next 24 hours.
Self-justifcation for shitty Uplay DRM? I haven't paid much attention to the last few Ubisoft games that came out, though, so I don't know if Uplay is still horrible or not.

not that I'm downloading or anything because frankly I wanna play this thing online and four days isn't that bad
there's already a crack for the Uplay launcher

More or less inevitable for this game, the irony was going to be too much for anyone to resist.

well I cracked after watching a little bit of a vid. I guess I'll do digital purchase release day from the Xbox store. I don't want to have to get a disk and none of the pre-order stuff really matters to me. it sucks I can't pre-order and get a digital code from MS so I can get the $15 gift card though.

You know, I wish this came out this week instead of the day after Memorial Day... At least I will get to play a few days before heading to Germany for a week.
Okay, so Ubisoft have earned a few points by delivering my PC copy four days early. (because my internet is so slow, several days postage is faster than downloading it would have been)
Is there any chance that by installing and running it now, I'll be falsely punished for pirating it?

Yeah I've been seeing people getting copies really early. None of them have reported problems installing and playing.
So interesting question because I don't know how this stuff works. I would imagine if you get the game via Uplay and not through steam it wouldn't matter in terms of multiplayer right? You could still play with people regardless of whether they have it on steam or Uplay? Or does it split the playerbase?

You still have to use Uplay if you buy the Steam version, so no the player bases won't be split.

Okay good. The only reason I sprung for PC was to play with my buddies and they are getting it through steam while I nabbed the GmG code instead for a good $17 off.

Well I ended up buying a new graphics card and it came with a copy of this game, I added it to my uplay account but nothing shows up, do we have to wait until the 27th to even install it?

Much excite... I think. Definitely not as hyped for this as I was InFamous, though hopefully this will last longer.
