Watch Dogs (stylized as WATCH_DOGS) is an open world action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It was released on 27 May 2014 for Microsoft Windows, the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One, with a Wii U version planned for release in the fourth quarter of 2014. Set within a fictionalized version of Chicago, Illinois, the single-player story follows a hacker and his efforts to seek revenge after the accidental death of his niece. The open world design lets players freely roam Chicago, which includes the urban city, open countryside and slums.

The game is played from a third-person perspective and its world is navigated on-foot or by vehicle. Players control Aiden Pearce, a highly skilled grey hat hacker who can hack into the CtOS, a centralized system which manages the hyper-connected city of Chicago. Players can choose to play either against the law, or for it—as a criminal, or a vigilante. An online multiplayer mode is also provided in the game, allowing up to eight players to engage in both co-operative and competitive gameplay in a recreation of the single-player setting.

Gameplay

Watch Dogs is an action-adventure game played from a third-person perspective. Players complete missions—linear scenarios with set objectives—to progress through the story. Outside of missions, players can freely roam the open world of Chicago. In the game, players take control of a vigilante named Aiden Pearce, who can hack into various electronic devices tied to the city's central operating system (CtOS), allowing various methods for the player to solve numerous objectives.[7] The hacking mechanic in the game is performed directly from Aiden's in-game smartphone, which is equipped with multiple applications, namely the "profiler" and the "crime prevention system"; the former allows the player to access information on any citizen in the city, while the latter notifies the player when a crime is likely to occur in the vicinity. The phone is also equipped with applications that interact directly with the environment around the player; for example, players can hack into NPC's phones to retrieve bank data and steal funds, or they can hack into traffic lights to cause collisions.[8] Players can also receive information on civilians via augmented reality feeds, providing them with information on demographics, health and potential behaviour.

The player character walking through an urban environment, using his smartphone to scan the area for crime. The heads-up display elements are visible on-screen.
Using the in-game smartphone, players have the ability to view if a civilian is about to be involved in a crime.

The game's combat utilises a combination of stealth components and parkour, along with the mechanics of a cover-based third-person shooter.[9] The hacking element of the game can also be used in combat situations to eliminate opponents, create diversions, or create cover. It can also be used as a stealth tool to sneak past guards.

Alongside the single-player mode, Watch Dogs features an asynchronous online multiplayer mode. One element to the multiplayer mode is a one-on-one interaction, in which one player secretly joins the single-player experience of another player and attempts to install a "back-door virus" onto their smartphone.[10] In addition, the game features an eight-player free roam mode[11] Other multiplayer modes include car races, competitive decryption combat, and a CtOS mobile challenge. In addition, a mobile application will be available for smartphones and tablets that allows players to challenge another player in-game and use hacks that set off traps, in an attempt to stop them from succeeding.[12] However, it was confirmed that the decryption and free-roam modes are not available on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, due to hardware limitations.[13]

Story

The story of Watch Dogs follows Aiden Pearce (Noam Jenkins), a skilled hacker and former thug. Eleven months after his actions led the death of his niece, Lena, Aiden seeks to bring his own form of justice to the culprits by manipulating Chicago's CtOS, or Central Operating System, a supercomputer that controls every piece of technology in the city and contains information on all of the city's residents and activities which can be used for various purposes.[14]

The storyline of Watch Dogs game is built around the concept of information warfare, data being interconnected, and the world's increasing use of technology—questioning who exactly runs the computers they depend on. The game is set in an alternate reality version of Chicago, Illinois, which is one of many cities to feature a supercomputer known as CtOS. In the game's universe, the Northeast blackout of 2003 was found to be caused by a hacker, prompting the development of the CtOS.[14] Creative director Jonathan Morin has stated that the main story of the game is 35–40 hours long.[15]

Ubisoft Montreal began development work on Watch Dogs in 2009.[18] Ubisoft Montreal's creative director Jonathan Morin noted that Watch Dogs is designed to "go beyond the limits of today's open world games", referencing both its use of information as a plot point, and allowing players to control the entire city through its hacking mechanics.

For Watch Dogs, Ubisoft Montreal built a new game engine called Disrupt.[19] In order to make the hacking in the game as realistic as possible, the game production team worked with Russian anti-virus firm Kaspersky Lab. The developers sent some of the game designs to Kaspersky, who then gave feedback. "Sometimes they say, 'Yeah, that's possible, but change that word,' or, 'That's not the way it works'," said senior producer Dominic Guay.[20] When developing the game, Ubisoft prioritised development for the eighth generation consoles and PC.[21] Guay stated that the Wii U GamePad is considered a "natural" fit for Watch Dogs.[22] Alan Coore, Ubisoft EMEA executive producer, has stated that the developer wishes for Watch Dogs to compete with other "open-style" games, such as the Grand Theft Auto series.[23]

Watch Dogs was officially unveiled by Ubisoft during their press conference at E3 2012. They released its debut trailer on the same day[24][25] The game missed its original projected 19 November 2013 release date, pushed back to early 2014 to allow for further polishing.[26] The release date was later confirmed as 27 May 2014 for all platforms except Wii U,[27] which was delayed to the fourth quarter of 2014.[28][29] On 14 May 2014, Ubisoft announced that Watch Dogs had "gone gold", and was officially sent off to manufacturing.[30] To encourage pre-order sales for the game, Ubisoft collaborated with several retail outlets to provide special edition versions of the game. The "Dedsec Edition", for example, includes a unique case packaging for the game, a game map, a figurine of Aiden Pearce and unlock codes for additional content for use in the game.[31]

On 15 February 2013, a leaked promotional image suggested that Watch Dogs would launch in December 2013 for "all home consoles",[32] which led to speculation about whether the game would launch on eighth generation consoles.[33][34][35] During the Sony press conference on 20 February 2013, Watch Dogs was confirmed to be coming to the PlayStation 4.[36] Shortly afterwards, Ubisoft confirmed that the game would also be released for the Wii U,[37] after some retailers had listed it for pre-order.[38] On 21 May 2013, Ubisoft revealed that an Xbox One version of Watch Dogs was also in development.[39]

Reception

Watch Dogs received generally positive reviews. Among its strengths, reviews cited its hacking elements, mission variety and online multiplayer mode. Review websites GameRankings and Metacritic respectively gave the PlayStation 4 version 82.88% and 82/100,[45][48] the Xbox One version 77% and 77/100,[46][50] and the Microsoft Windows version 76.75% and 81/100.[47][49]

Reviewers praised the hacking elements of the game. Both Jeff Marchiafava of GameInformer and Kevin VanOrd of GameSpot particularly noted its improvement to the combat.[55][56] IGN's Dan Stapleton named it one of the best features of the game.[58] Metro's Ludwig Kietzmann called the hacking "refined, reliable and precise," and expressed his belief that the feature improves the game overall.[62] Chris Carter of Destructoid felt less impressed by the hacking feature, saying that it "isn't nearly as revolutionary as Ubisoft Montreal wants us to think."[52]

In the months leading up to the release of Watch Dogs, the game received much negative attention, for its perceived drop in graphical quality in promotional materials.[63] Many felt that the visuals were not up to par with the stunning "next-gen graphics" [64] that were showcased in its E3 2012 demo. Additionally, many users on PC noticed frame rate problems and GPU overheating. Users with AMD cards experienced poor performance due to a lack of optimization.

Awards

Pre-release, Watch Dogs received more than 82 awards and nominations for its display at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2012 (E3 2012),[65] and won two Game Critics Awards for Special Commendation for Graphics and Special Commendation for Innovation.[66] Later that year, the game was nominated for One to Watch at the 30th Golden Joystick Awards.[67][68] The next year, Watch Dogs received over 90 awards and nominations for its display at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2013 (E3 2013),[69] and won one Game Critics Award for Best Action/Adventure Game while receiving four additional nominations for Best of Show, Best Original Game, Best Console Game, and Best Online Multiplayer.[70][71] Later that year, the game was nominated for Most Wanted at the 31st Golden Joystick Awards,[72][73] and was also nominated for Most Anticipated Game at the VGX 2013.[74]

Film

Variety reports that Ubisoft is developing a Watch Dogs film, along with Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Splinter Cell and Raving Rabbids films.[75] Sony announced at their 2013 Gamescom press conference that Ubisoft will work with Columbia Pictures and New Regency to make the film, Sony will distribute the film in the US and 20th Century Fox will handle the international distribution rights.[76] On 24 April 2014, Deadline.com reported Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese will write the film.[77]
