Via the official PlayStation blog, we have word from Ubisoft community developer Chris Straight on how the company plans to address complaints from the first Watch Dogs video game.
"We’re very proud of what we accomplished with the first game, but we also realized we needed to push the experience forward," said Straight in a very slight concession. He continued, "
We scoured the forums, read every tweet and every comment. With the sequel you’ll find a dynamic new protagonist, a denser new setting, deeper hacking possibilities, rewarding world activities, and more accessible vehicle handling (just to name a few things). The team took special care to make sure the biggest points of feedback were addressed in Watch Dogs 2, and we hope you enjoy what we’ve cooked up for you."
VG247 points out that the progression track of Watch Dogs is eerily similar to that of Assassin's Creed. The flagship game from Ubisoft also had an over-hyped debut that underwhelmed many but rebounded with a sequel that revolutionized game. According to the site, that's exactly what's likely to occur with Watch Dogs' sequel.
Watch_Dogs 2 will be released on November 15 for PC, Xbox One and PS4.
