Ya sid, Watch Dogs is the other game im looking forward to
Watch Dogs is basically a mix between GTA, Assassins Creed, and splinter cell.
Which makes sense, since it was made by Ubisoft Montreal, the people who brought us Farcry, Assassins Creed, and Splinter cell.
You are Aiden Peirce, a hacker in Chicago. Chicago recently developed a "Central Operating System" which makes almost everything in the city connected.
From trains, to traffic lights, to cameras, making the city run faster and smoother. However...
It also means that someone could hack in and control all aspects of the city. Aiden has figured out how, and can control it all.
Whether it is controling traffic lights during a police chase, to cause an accident. or the barriers in the road to deploy so no one can follow you.
Or cameras to spy on people, or even hack into people phones and steal their credit card information, and withdraw their money from the ATM.
Its an open world game, letting you roam all around the city. There is also some free running, letting you climb up to roofs and such.
