Watch Dogs 2

The full announcement of Watch Dogs 2 has taken place and we have all kinds of new and old information about Watch Dogs 2 to share out there

Yet another game that had a lot of its thunder stolen by dick heads who wanted to claim "first," but we have the full announcement of Watch Dogs 2 along with some of the updates and changes to the game as well as the release date. Given that Ubisoft rolled with the punches with all of the bullshit 'leaks' by other major outlets we'll just sum that all up here as it is true then dig into the new stuff. Yes Watch Dogs 2 is set in San Francisco. It is slated to release on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC on November 15^th. It will have a new character and all the differences that brings along with it. Enough now.

So we know there is a new character for Watch Dogs 2 now. Marcus Holloway who happens to be a young hacker out of Oakland that has taken up the cause to hack the ctOS network. Of course he isn't as held back as Aiden was as now he can hack anything and use most of the gizmos as one would expect if it was truly hacked. I'm talking that he can now hack vehicles and actually drive them around as well as hack phones and not be limited to only "listening in." Hacking has been turned more into a weapon here and not just a cool gimmick to use in the overall game. It still is but now we have more options that hackers in this world should have access too.

On top of all of that, we will have a few new toys to play with in the world of Watch Dogs 2. Marcus will be swinging around a billiard ball of a rope to bash down enemies up close and person when not using the many 3D printed firearms in the game. He will also be using two new drones to help scout and stay hidden when hacking the planet. One being a little two wheeled car with an extension arm and the other a full one quad-copter to use to scout out the land. I'm guessing these come later in the game but they will be coming so scouting won't be just through the many cameras that may be around.

This all may sound like a bit much for Watch Dogs 2 in addition to all of the normal hacking but seeing as we will now have the option to play in a full on assault or pure stealth or purely through hacking all of these new toys will be needed and much appreciated. Of course you can read all of that as the fact that some of the combat mechanics and movement mechanics have been altered as we will also have access to some fun parkour when needed. All kinds of upgrades to go along with the ctOS 2.0 system here and I know that I'm excited to get to see and play it all. Hopefully none of it will be downgraded after the huge E3 showing next week.

Now that you've seen more on Watch Dogs 2 what do you think about the game we have coming? Does it look like Ubisoft has given all of the great upgrades we've wanted or are they just making this another Assassin's Creed title in all but name? Do you think it will be easier to go through using only one form or will they all need to be blended together to succeed? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments and discuss.
