 I too am very much looking forward to Watch Dogs. The graphics look top notch and the story is very intriguing seeing how it is where we are looking to be heading technogy wise. I think if this is release at the right time (not when Last of Us is released) it could do very well!

 @1 I think what attracted me most about the E3 gameplay demo was how dynamic the city seemed. The 10 car wreck the protagonist caused looked completely unscripted, and the choices and options granted by your hacking device turn a normally mind-boggling genre into something else entirely.

I'd like to know if that mask he puts on is something the player can equip anytime to hide his identity like in Red Dead Redemption or is something the game dictates to you. I hope it's the former. Otherwise this game is looking epic.

 @2 My thoughts exactly. Does anyone know when we can pre order this game?

 That game will be lucky if it looks that good on a $2,000 PC lol.  Don't kid yourselves.

I don't understand the excitement over this at all.  There's some shooting, and then we see a guy walking around in a building, seeing icons all over the place allowing him to access people's personal data.  Could somebody explain to me what's interesting about that?  Because I certianly don't get it.

 @6 For me personally, the dynamic nature of the city and the setting is what interests me. The fact that the city governments hold complete autonomous control over information systems, and your private identity doesn't really exist any more, is a look at a future that could be closer than we think. It's not science fiction, more like... "relevant fiction."

So you take that concept, put it in an open-world game like Grand Theft Auto IV, give the story some maturity and tons of dynamic options with hacking people's phones, traffic lights, etc. It's the sum of all these parts that has me super excited.

Of course, there was that little bit at the end of the E3 demo where the camera zooms out to show an online player watching and influencing the single-player game. If Watch Dogs turns out to have some multiplayer mode where you could be playing the single-player campaign and your friends can silenty influence your game - being true "Watch Dogs" - without you ever knowing --- Idk, that just seems really cool to me.

Keep in mind that the demo you did see at E3 was running on a high-end PC with the use of an Xbox 360 controller. So while I think the game will still look good, it won't look that great with 6-year old technology. I do agree with Kyle though in that the dynamic nature of the city is interesting. Especially for an open world title.

Doesn't all that "data" moving around on the screen at the same time require a bit more RAM than 256x256mb? I'm just curious how so little ram can move so much random information.

There's nothing in the E3 demo or even thes screen cap above that can't be done in current gen hardware. Maybe with lower frame rates and less sharp textures but plenty of recent games have displayed everything we've seen here.
