only three weeks from the official launch of the new game’s open-world Ubisoft, Watch Dogs 2, we took the opportunity once again to explore the sun-kissed San Francisco and the Bay Area for the surrounding area, this time in the shoes of Marcus Holloway.
in Addition to the metropolitan area, we await the other three districts: the rural Marine County, Oakland, and the most interesting place in peri a hacker, and for those who love technology, the Silicon Valley. We have noticed that the world map is nicely quiet, and the icons and the missions appear to be so sporadic. As happens in Grand Theft Auto V, we have to find a lot of things before these icons appear on our map, so fortunately the feeling we had was not to feel overwhelmed by the content on the map.
Thanks to the unique charm of San Francisco and the Bay Area, and Ubisoft Montreal has renewed the driving physics, and has introduced a sophisticated model of the detriment of the many vehicles that we find up and down the streets of the iconic city. Furthermore, it has been done a lot in terms of the movement of the character, also because Marcus is very skilled in parkour and can easily overcome obstacles as he travels through the game world. We could compare his movements to those of an athlete, young and energetic, in the sense that it moves with the greatest freedom, but never as Ezio Auditore, for instance.
Watch Dogs 2 is set in the present day, and then the studio has made sure to keep in mind the current trends. The Internet of things, screw connected, and our fingerprints: these are the themes to be addressed within the game, in one way or another. For example, some of the missions that Marcus can join you obtained by scanning a few people with his smartphone, and monitoring of such information. The characters themselves are young, free and crazy, and this is the atmosphere that you breathe virtually the whole game, although they are explored and investigated some of the issues really are very important. Some of the missions seem to be designed exactly to capture the spirit of our times, and also if the setting eccentric and the bizarre choice for this second episode doesn’t do exactly for us, we admit that the spirit that reigns in the game has managed to impress us.
As you probably remember, the multiplayer component has been an important issue in the first game, and his successor has tried to leave from here. In many missions, the other players will monitor and occasionally intervene, but Watch Dogs 2 is using a multiplayer without solution of continuity, a mix between their offline content with online multiplayer. The loading screens it only happens when you move to another point on the map of the world, and the fact that it comes in and goes out from the online server and does not interrupt in any way your match. However, what we can say in this moment, it seems that there is very little variety in terms of activities in the multiplayer, which is a bit of a shame.
In the version of the preview that we played, we noticed another aspect: the game does not seem particularly suited to stealth. We tried the simple missions of hacking in which we had to penetrate in an area well-guarded and download data from a server. This, in turn, alerts the guards, who accortesi of the situation, they pull out weapons and start to shoot as if there was a tomorrow, and it was in these moments that we really felt the lack of an option that would allow to load the last checkpoint (we had to force us to kill, so we could start the section again). When we met other hackers during normal games, these situations have had a rapid escalation, and lovers of stealth should approach to Watch Dogs 2 keeping this idea in mind.
Watch Dogs 2 can be a lot of fun, and thanks to its charm of youth, the characters over-the-top, and a particular attention to technology and current trends, Ubisoft is preparing to conquer the hearts of the technological potential players when it will come to PC, PS4 and Xbox One in the month of November. Despite a couple of concerns on our part, Watch Dogs 2 there has, however, left a mark, and the sandbox inside and outside of the city of San Francisco convinced us. In addition to some of the multiplayer features highly sophisticated, Ubisoft looks set to offer players a lot of reasons to travel to northern California next winter.
