It should at least be a competent time-passer until The Division arrives (which will be outstanding).

i'm slightly concerned that Watchdogs might be 'More style than substance' & will always be compared to GTA V.

Also, being a cross-platform game, will there be any real difference with the graphics (Xbone vs PS3 versions).

I want this game to be as good as the hype.

Tbh I thought it looked ok.

Sounds were a bit weak?
Car handling looked heavily in the arcade-style?

Haven't really seen much of this game - but looking at the trailers all i'm seeing is GTA with a tiny bit of Deus Ex Human Revolution chucked in... Not necessarily a negative, as i spent a considerable amount of time on DEHR.

Will be waiting out before i purchase this one, for sure.

Indeed - let's see how it gets reviewed.

Agreed. I cancelled my pre order, I will see how the initial response is.

Is The Division built on a different engine?

As it was pushed back several months instead of being a PS4 launch title, it has made me skeptical... if I buy it will be for PS3, but I'll wait. Preorder seems risky.

Also, this is apparently going to be a series alternating with Assassin's Creed, i.e. 2014 we get Watchdogs, 2015 a new AC, 2016 WD, etc etc...

Let's hope they don't turn this into a kind of Call of Duty as it seems to be the case with AC.

Edward Kenway was cool but come on, same gameplay for so many games?

Well they have already announced an AC for 2014 so I doubt that it will be alternated.

Feck me they keep overdoing it.

Hopefully they'll have some new animations at least.

I have kept my pre order. I had it pre ordered for release with my ps4. I'm actually glad they pushed it back, I'd rather have a finished polished game then one half finished just to get it out. I'm not sure what to make of the game I must confess mainly because I haven't seen anything like it.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say no one game would be worth buying a console for.

Except Deep Down. Really looking forward to the reviews of that one.
If Fallout 4 or Skyrim II had been released I'd have bought a PS4 just to get them.

In the meantime I have BF4 to amuse me...

So rumour has it that the quality and frame rate has dropped from inital reports. Dropping from 60fps at 1080p to 30fps at 900p.

my telly is only a 720p Sony bravia 40", so would i actually notice any visual difference between Watchdogs, GTA V (on the ps3) and Forza 5?
