Ubisoft showcased a 30 minute demo of Watch Dogs Legion earlier today at E3 2019. Here's the full unedited gameplay walkthrough for your viewing pleasure. Are you excited for Watch Dogs Legion?

I just want to point out two things. This game is in Alpha and releases in March things will improve. Secondly, this is pulled from a livestream which can have audio and video delays.

 

[Husky]

oh thank god I thought I was gonna have to stick with that opening commentary guy lmao

Day 1. I still hope they work on the visuals more. Looks rough

 

[digitaltrance]

Meh.

Like ALOT more.

 

[Stuart360]

Bittrate is terrible on the videop to be fair.. I think a good 4k quality video would really improve how the game looks. Besides regradless of what people say, the first 2 games really werent lookers, and i have them on PC.

 

[MightySquirrel]

Pure garbage.

 

[stranno]

Kudos to Ubi for sign language window.

People always try but its hard to hate them.

Looks boring. Even WD2 which I even haven't finished looked way more attractive.

 

[Siri]

This is the game I’ve been waiting for more than any other - is Ubisoft going to make any announcements about its 2020 lineup?

 

[ancelotti]

Who knows, they were probably smart to delay, but it's going to be a real challenge finding an audience for this game. My favourite part of the previous iterations was creating fake arrest warrants and then calling the police and watching them violently arrest or even shoot innocent NPCs. They must be having meetings over that particular game mechanic.

 

[Arachnid]

It's a damn crime that we got three Watch Dogs games this gen and not a single Splinter Cell. wtf man

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Empty lifeless open world game.

I pray the developers make use of next gen compute resources to make these open worlds feel more alive and believable.

I can't go through another gen with prettier graphics but the same brain dead NPC behavioral patterns.

 

[ACESHIGH]

This looks last gen compared to Cyberpunk. They never could replicate the look of that Watch_Dogs demo that was stunning.

 

[jonnyp]

That's some Mass Effect Andromeda level of facial animation right there.... ugh.

 

[JerryinSoCal]

This looks last gen compared to Cyberpunk. They never could replicate the look of that Watch_Dogs demo that was stunning.

This still looks more fun to me than Cyberpunk.

 

[Siri]

Who knows, they were probably smart to delay, but it's going to be a real challenge finding an audience for this game.

Why would it be a challenge to find an audience? The previous 2 games in the series have sold over 20 million copies.

 

[BusierDonkey]

Watchdogs driving was ass sandwich levels of bad. I didn't even play Watchdogs 2 because I have PTSD from my first time trying to navigate the cars in the first game.

Looks like AAA games are hitting close to home lately, even if unexpectedly...
...could you imagine Ubi today doing a gameplay presentation in which a black female protagonist gets shot and killed as she runs away from the police?
Questions now is if they'll cash in hard or get canceled by the undiscerning mob.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

C'mon, where the fuck is this game??

 

[Max_Po]

is this delayed to next gen ?

 

[CrysisFreak]

is this delayed to next gen ?

Rumors say it's delayed to be cross-gen from the start.

 

[Spaceman292]

"This looks like shit. I'm going to buy it as soon as possible."

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

Lol, I completely forgot about this game. Like, zero recollection based on the name. Was only after I saw the screen of the old lady with the taser that I vaguely remembered.

 

[D.Final]

Rumors say it's delayed to be cross-gen from the start.

I think that it's pretty safe to say that this is a cross gen game now.

I'm expecting a release date for September 2020

 

[Mista]

"This looks like shit. I'm going to buy it as soon as possible."

 

[Arun1910]

I think it will either come out September or be delayed into Next Year.

Ubisoft have 2 big games to release before March, AC and WD.

AC will probably take the October spot for the 3rd time, but I really think that Watch Dogs will not release in November. They COULD have, but now they'll be up against Cyberpunk, both games share a futuristic setting and both are open world. It wouldn't make sense for Ubisoft to put WD up against Cyberpunk in the same month.

 

[CrysisFreak]

I enjoyed Watch Dogs 2 except for three things:
One of them is obviously the extreme cringe.
Another one is the downgraded gunplay and gunfeel.
And most importantly, that trophy that you get for taking a picture of a vomiting person. Took me two hours nah ah fuck that shit lmao.

 

[LazyParrot]

Wow, the indoor parts look like a PS3 game.

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Ok, this doesnt look good.

-Graphically looks last Gen ( i sure hope the gameplay was from a base model and not X1 or pro)
--In game character models in that menu looked like they came from a PS3.
--Cloth Textures looks very stale. No movement or liveliness to them
-Lip syncing is terrible...
-Core gameplay seems identical to WD2, prob WD 2.3 when you factor in different toys.
-Enemies know where you are when you kill one of them....fucks sake Ubi!

+ At least you can use your fists to take ppl out
+ Gunplay might be improved

Overall, its still WD2 with slight improvements. I think if you didn't like WD2, you wont like this and if you liked WD1, you'll like this even less.

This is a one year old footage. I’m sure they worked on it more during this times

Ah, then i really hope they've improve'd it, alot.

 

[Neofire]

Anyone seeing the John Wick, style of shooting?

 

[GymWolf]

Maybe this time the combat it will not gonna suck hairy balls like most of ubisoft games.

 

[Boss Mog]

I was kinda excited for this game when it was announced but with everything that's happening now, I'd feel like I was playing the wrong side.

 

[Siri]

I think if you didn't like WD2, you wont like this and if you liked WD1, you'll like this even less.

LOL, okay I actually thought it might be the other way around.

One thing I’ve witnessed from reading through forum posts is that most people who loved the first game didn’t care much for the second, and that most who liked the second didn’t like the first.

I fall into the former category. I loved the first game for its atmosphere. With Clint Hocking leading the development of this I’m hoping for something great. I’m a little leery though because I didn’t just dislike the second game - I detested it. Ubisoft turned the series into a sort of cartoon. I hated the tone. There was a kind of Scooby-Doo thing going on.
