Ubisoft's Watch_dogs (PC and "Consoles")

[Uli]

delay doesn't come as a surprise for me. the PS4 demo presented at gamescom was apparently still in a very alpha-like state, even missing some textures on objects.

Doesn't sound good.

Indeed.

Yesterday they confirmed this is still on for release between April and June with a proper release date due to be announced soon - this was at a conference for share holders not gamers.

If only shareholders were gamers as well ... Then we wouldn't be in the massive **** we are now

[VR46]

True, I forgot to say in my post earlier that the Wii U version has been delayed beyond June, read in to that what you will.

It will quietly get pushed back further again until everyone forgets that version is even coming, then canceled. Which will be a shame as black flag is supposed to be quite good on wiiU so there's no reason this couldn't be good too.

Is out on 27th May for all variations, bar Wii U which will follow at a later date

UPDATE: Ubisoft has announced the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 versions of Watch Dogs include exclusive DLC.

Those who buy either of the PlayStation versions get access to 60 minutes of additional gameplay which can be downloaded via the PlayStation Network.

"We're really excited for the launch of Watch Dogs on both PS3 and PS4 and are confident that it will prove to be one of the standout games of 2014,” said Michael Pattison, vice president of Third Party Relations at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.

“It's a unique and visionary game and we believe that the exclusive content available via PSN will not only excite gamers, but showcase how PlayStation is a preferred destination for Watch Dogs."

Meanwhile, Ubisoft has confirmed the recently-announced 27th May release date for Watch Dogs applies to the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One versions. The Wii U version will release "at a later date".

That's that then.

ORIGINAL STORY: Open world cyber thriller Watch Dogs launches on 27th May, a leaked trailer for the game has revealed.

The video popped up on Xbox.com (Ubisoft has now released the trailer through its official YouTube channel - it's below) this afternoon ahead of an expected official announcement by publisher Ubisoft at 5pm. At the end of the trailer the release date is revealed.

The new date means that Watch Dogs has seen an extra six months of development time after its delay last year. Initially due to arrive on 19th November - and as a launch title for PS4 and Xbox One - Ubisoft pushed the game into 2014 with just weeks to go before release.

Wii U version cancelled within three months.

Yup, that ones never coming. Should do well and nice to see a release date and commitment to quality, does feel like the hype train has left somewhat though so I guess we'll get pr mania soon.

Trailer.

Hello last gen!

Nice to see you back in our lives

[dataDave]

I've never been interested in this game, however... Why does it look absolutely nothing like what was shown last year?

Is that the PS3 version?

Before (2012) and after (2014)...
