A fact from Watch Dogs (video game) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 21 June 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that players will be able to jam electronics, tap cell phones, and manipulate traffic lights in order to track and kill a target in Ubisoft's upcoming video game, Watch Dogs?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2012/June.

Developer

E3 video

Reception

I'm not a frequent Wikipedia editor, so I didn't change it myself, but the last couple sentences of the Reception section (under Pre-relase) are very poorly worded and confusing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.141.242.79 (talk) 14:37, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Platforms

It's worth noting that Ubisoft's word on their twitter was that it would be released on PC and consoles, there is still some speculation about whether the consoles it will be released on, are next gen. 80.0.148.127 (talk) 14:35, 12 June 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.0.148.127 (talk)

Elusive

"The game features an elusive online multiplayer element"

is "elusive" the right word here? the answer is "probably not" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Superwesman (talk • contribs) 19:16, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Clarifying some things between article sections

Okay, I just thought I'd point this out asap. I read in the Gameplay section that:

Aiden Pearce is Irish-American.
Aiden Pearce is voiced by Noam Jenkins.

Which doesn't make much sense. I mean—yes, that's interesting. It still doesn't explain why a protagonist's background details—specifically, ones that are unrelated to the game's gameplay—are in a section that mainly focuses on the Gameplay. This may be obvious, but shouldn't I have read about those things in the Plot and Development sections of the article?

Adding a link to a wikia project?

I've been working on a wikia, which essentially is a much more expanded version of the article here. I was wondering if it would be of assistance to readers if we added a link on the article to the site; Watch Dogs Wikia. The site itself adheres to all of wikia best practices, and could offer readers who wish to go more in-depth (for things like characters, weapons, gameplay mechanics etc) the opportunity to find out more.

We do not link to Wikia sites, per point 12 at WP:ELNO. Thanks Trut-h-urts man (T • C) 12:55, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Should we remove the Assassins Creed 4 Easter egg part in reception?

I think we should remove it because it feels out of place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.176.42.172 (talk) 04:29, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Possible timeline answer

File:The loop 125

Up until now, I don't think that we've been given a definitive date of when Watch Dogs takes place. I was reading an article on examiner.com, and they noticed something interesting. There's a banner hanging over a road that says The Loop - 125^th. This must mean that it's the Chicago Loop's 125th anniversary. The Loop was founded in 1930, so this must mean that the games takes place in 2055. Thoughts? I can't upload the link since Examiner.com is apparently on Wikipedia's blacklist. 173.179.92.34 (talk) 19:28, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
