"Watch Dogs" has released an eight-minute gameplay walkthrough for the title's multiplayer.
The walkthrough shows gamers how they can hack into other players within the game and what their characters look like through another person's perspective. For example, in your game you look like the title character Aiden Pearce, but like an NPC when you've stepped into someone else's game. It might sound a bit confusing, but Ubisoft has laid it out clearly in the video.
Another cool feature about the multiplayer aspect is gamers will have to remain undetected in order to complete their mission. If your fellow gamer can't spot you as the hacker, you will gain more notoriety points, which can be used to purchase upgrades. Pearce can hack into everything and players can use their surrounding to their advantage.
However, players will have to remain wary of their surroundings. The game's NPC react appropriately to situations, so if you pull out your gun in a crowd of people, you can expect authorities to arrive to scene quickly. Civilians also have their own back-story, which you can also use to your advantage in the game.
Ubisoft's hacker-inspired title will be release available on the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC on May 27. Check out the official synopsis for "Watch Dogs" and the eight-minute trailer below:
"Hacking is your weapon. Control the city of Chicago. Become Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker but also a former thug, whose criminal past lead to a violent family tragedy. While on the hunt for those responsible, you will be able to tap into the city's omnipresent security cameras, download personal information to locate a target, control systems such as traffic lights and the electrical grid to stop a chase, and more. Now the city of Chicago has become your ultimate weapon to exact your own style of revenge."
