Ubisoft Shows Off How Fun Hacking Will Be In Watch Dogs

Imagine a world where an entire city is run by a computer which is run by giant companies, and while that computer is running the city, it is also running your life by monitoring your every thought and movement. Well that's what Ubisoft's new game Watch Dogs is based around.

In  the Watch Dogs gameplay demo, you play as a character who hacks into the Central Operating System (the computer that runs cities) and controls an entire city where everything is basically hackable. The main character's motives aren't exactly known, but it seems like he's targeting someone in order to expose them for something.

The trailer does a switch though as you then start to play as another character who is to protect the main character now.

Here is the trailer for Watch Dogs and the gameplay demo.

Far Cry 3 Gameplay Demo Footage

 
Ubisoft kicked off their E3 Press Conference today with a dance number with rapper Flo Rida for the upcoming Just Dance 4. But after that that's when things got interesting with Far Cry 3.

The trailer for Far Cry 3 sure is a memorable one as the trailer starts off with a topless girl on top of the main character, who is hunting the main villain - Vaas. The gameplay demo has the main character, Jason Brody, stabbing bad guys and shooting them with a bow and arrow as he's lured into a trap that includes a burning building. Jason then high tales it out of there running and gunning whoever is in his way.

The footage then gets a bit psychedelic with TV screens and what looks like memories from the Jason.

Ubisoft has plans for releasing more information for Far Cry 3 later this week.

[A trailer will be released once its online.]

Ubisoft Now Going After John Beiswenger

Ubisoft is no longer facing charges from author John Beiswenger, instead they are turning the tables right back at him and filing a complaint against Beiswenger.

Because Beiswenger ended the lawsuit without prejudice and was able to bring up the lawsuit again whenever he pleased, he was able to give Ubisoft the grounds to go right back at him claiming that Beiswenger's claims were "entirely meritless"

"The plaintiff in the case alleging copyright infringement by Ubisoft has dropped his claim, without settlement," states a Ubisoft representative. "Ubisoft believes this suit was frivolous and without merit, and is seeking a ruling to prevent future related claims. We are proud of our creative teams and will continue to vigorously defend the intellectual property they develop."

Ubisoft is fighting Beiswenger so he will no longer be able to try and file a complaint against Ubisoft ever again.

Ubisoft No Longer Being Sued

Last month Ubisoft was sued by author John Beiswenger claiming that the video game developers took ideas from his book Link. Now Beiswenger is dropping the lawsuit against Ubisoft.

In Link, the story is based around a "device and process whereby ancestral memories can be accessed, recalled, relived, and re-experienced by the user." (Just like Assassin's Creed's Animus device.). The similarities don't end there though, the book has assassinations and historical events in which the user experiences due to what the ancestor has been through.

It is currently unknown why the author backed down from the lawsuit, but if he wanted to he could go straight back at Insomniac with the same claims. Beiswenger's lawyer, Kelly Clements Keller states that, "My client’s decision to exercise his right to voluntarily dismiss the action, without prejudice, in no way diminishes his stalwart conviction in the merit of his claims against Ubisoft. He is unwavering in his belief that many key components of the Assassin’s Creed video game franchise infringe on many key components of his novel, Link. We believe Ubisoft has engaged in egregious acts of copyright infringement and, should he choose to seek redress through the courts in the future, we remain confident that a trier of fact would agree.”

For now Assassin's Creed III is saved and won't be cancelled.
