Quick Update: Trailer shown during conference is now embedded below, from Ubisoft’s official Youtube page.
One of the few demos showcased today that wasn’t pre-rendered or pre-recorded was an updated look at Watch_Dogs, being the first since it was shown last year at E3. How about that for a friendly reminder that this game isn’t dead, or somehow managing to release on PS3 and Xbox 360 as well?
We’ll have screenshots and the live demo uploaded in a bit, but for now here’s the official word on how ambitious this new IP hopes to be:
