Ubisoft came out blazing with actual game play footage of Watch Dogs Legion. No CGI footage but actual game play. How I longed for some real stuff instead of those CGI trailers we’ve been seeing during most of E3.
A Legion of playable characters
Watch dogs Legion takes place in a dystopian London. Contrary the previous two games you get to play as a whole legion of different characters. The game play showed a wide array of playable characters. Each had a definitive well worked out personality which should make the game play feel fresh with each character you take control of.
Breathing London
As awesome as this sounds, the best character to me seemed to be the city of London. The footage showed a few key locations in London: Piccadilly Circus, Camden Market, Trafalgar square and many more. Watch dogs Legion taking place in these well known places with a dystopian twist looks super interesting. Seeing the well known billboards in Piccadilly Circus while a cockney character fights the authorities looked awesome.
The typical arches of the underpass used as Camden Market looked like a perfect place to organize a marihuana plantation. London bridge and the big ben with the shard in the background felt very recognizable. The addition of the Watch Dogs world on top of these well recognized places made me want the game even more.
