Yeah, I struggle to see the game world being as advanced and organic as the videos give the impressions of, especially considering it's coming for the old generation as well.

Also, I can't really seem to get excited about it. I look at Watch-Dogs, and I think "man, this is the shit, I should totally be hyped for this".. Guess I'm more of a fantasy/science fiction kind of guy.

ackblom12:
You might mean Space Opera more so than Sci-Fi, cause Watch_dogs is a pretty obvious Sci-Fi setting.

Edguy:
Yeah, maybe, but when I think sci-fi, I generally think a little more removed from today's technological standpoint. Watch_Dogs is almost a contemporary game.

ackblom12:
Well, the thing is is that what Sci-Fi looks like has changed over the last few decades due to the ridiculously fast pace of tech progression. Thankfully, the Fiction side of sci-fi is making a comeback lately, but think something like Margaret Atwood's Oryx & Crake. Really obvious sci-fi despite 99% of the tech existing or being really near future at most. Technology is important to sci-fi, but what's most important is the story about how we react to it as a society and why.

LTK:
It's easy to start thinking about all the things this game could be - Deus Ex, for example - but doing that inevitably leads to disappointment, so I'm going to assume it's completely unremarkable until we actually find out.
