What kind of dumb question is that? Would you ask the same about GTA preview footage?

In GTA you can cause pileups but they don't have that believable feel to them in Crackdown 1 you could snipe car tires on the highway and produce fairly impressive crashes and pileups but again, the ai in the cars had none of that believable reaction to an accident.

Any comments GKY or is this non disclosure material? :)
Most of it I can't really talk about. But I will try to answer your question: While the demo had a specific place/intersection for causing the accident, it's a global feature: you can hack any traffic light system whenever you like and watch the results. I have to say this game has some of the best crowd reactions I've ever seen...leagues beyond AC.

In short: all the features you've seen (and several you haven't) are systemic, so it's not scripted at all...you trash what you want when you want to.

Sorry I missed this.

I'm liking Montreal more than I liked it when I lived here in 2008...and it's 10 billion times better than the prospect of living in Bulgaria, which is why I came here last year...but it's still not my favorite place.

Whoops...didn't see this.

For me personally...the overall objective (since it's set in Chicago) is to cause more destruction and wreck more Chicago Police cars than the Blues Brothers.

I think my question is valid. From GTA preview footage, it's pretty obvious your objective is to move your way up the crime ladder, until you're at the top (causing mayhem in the process). With this Watch Dogs preview, all I see is mayhem. No real clear objective for me...:shrug:

You don't think that "sending a message" by killing someone in the street with dozens of witnesses indicates a larger motive?

Moron alert. That "GTA preview footage" was a trailer, it's supposed to give you an idea of the story and gameplay. What you just watched was a fucking STAGE DEMO of a game that's still in development.

Good fucking grief.

lol

Some people are really "investigating" every single detail of the demo.

Obsessive nerds obsessing
Scanned the site code and found nothing. Things that jumped to me: there's a light bars installation on the video going through the exhibit that maybe has numbers to decipher. The rows have 30, 18 and 25 26 bars, from top to bottom. I'm attaching the frame.

About the twitter account, searched for the date of creation (at http://whendidyoujointwitter.com) and found that "was" created at june 5, 2012. Weird or not?

Also found this in the Watchdog Official page's source code....

This was interesting to me:
"revisit-after" content="7 Days"

New info coming in 7 days?

EDIT: Also, not sure if this really means anything or not, but I will just throw it out there just in case...

lol

I mean it's nice to have people excited and all but there are too many weirdos who really need to have sex someday.

And you people wonder why I shit on game nerds who nitpick dumb things and, worst of all, can never be happy with anything you give them. These are the types of annoying morons that I and most of the games industry do NOT make games for. :down:

Sad fucks.

actually, those mormons over at Rocksteady did this with Batman Arkham City and it was great fun.
made it look like every detail in the trailers were on purpose and in turn make the devs look like awesome chums :up:

It's definitely better than Eastern Europe, but it's still the armpit of Canada IMO. I'm trying to leave Montreal as soon as I can. Having said that, it's still the Hollywood of video games due to Quebec subsidizing workers' wages, but I feel really sorry for employees who were forced to relocate here from the USA.

An operating system for cities: How IBM plans to make your city smarter
Cutting emergency response times in Rio de Janeiro by 30 percent? Reducing pollution in San Francisco’s Bay Area? Eliminating traffic congestion in Lyon, France?

Those are all things you can do … if you make your city smarter.

IBM calls it Intelligent Operations Center (IOC), and in the past three years has led over 2,000 projects to “monitor, measure, and manage city services such as water systems, public safety, transportation, hospitals, electricity grids, and buildings.”
