Wait, my boy, Aiden isn't the main character in the next installment?

Looks lame , better off just bringing Aiden back just a bit more animated than this mess.

The character wasn't really the problem. It was the stupid bland story Ubi wrote because they were scared to actually take any kind of opinionated stances on the story that might offend people.

Aiden wasn't bad, it was the whole stupid ultra-generic gotta save the family story they told.

I really hope they improve the driving, it was awful in the first one.

That's a terrible looking lead character.

Some how in this technologically advance world, a bandana is all it takes to fool the Watch dogs. Now you see me, now you don't!

Surprised its not a woman.

Wholly off topic, but not only should the next main character for GTA be a woman, but a SJW. A detached psycho bent on bringing down the patriarchy by way of several illegal businesses, and has a habit for beating men to death for so much as looking at her. Or not looking at her.

Or it could be the next Postal. The next Hatred.

LOL character design in video games will never be the same people and hang wasn't nerdleaks shut down after leaking God of War IV?

Typical Ubisoft. Throw away a character rather than improve him. For all Aiden's flaws (I still liked him enough), he's at least a more believable vigilante than token Asian stereotype. Aiden's story just ends and we have whoever this is supposed to be.

Judging by how stereotypical the character looks, it seems plausible that Watch Dogs 2 will feature more hacking, less action. That would be the wrong move.

I want to see how Aiden's story went afterwards (maybe we will, I don't know), as well as the other characters that survived. Hell, why not give Jordi his own game? You want a great Asian character, Jordi Chin was the best character in the whole game and criminally underused.

Or throw us a curve ball and make WD2's protagonist be Aiden's nephew trying to find his uncle who disappeared off the grid but Max (that's his name right? I forget) needs his uncle's help for whatever reason. That would be great. Maybe setup a multiple protagonist thing like GTAV.

I loved Watch Dogs, especially the pvp, but I have no faith in Ubisoft to make Watch Dogs 2 any good.

Oh yay, another edgy hipster. /s

They'll probably get a new MoCap actor who can actually follow NDA's.

Well, I'm really excited with what they'll show at E3 this year, hope the gfx will look like that 2012 E3 demo, Aiden Pearce was kinda BADASS character...... YEAH COME AT ME N4G!!!

I look forward to the official reveal and hope it has improved from a narrative perspective. Lets see if Ubisoft took some cues from Mr. Robot.

He looks like a 13 year old cosplayer.

Looks like a Trump protestor.

Looks like the type of geezer who gets drunk first at the pub and tries to out opinion everyone all night. Scrap him please.

So it's an generic hipster guy this time. I liked edgy Aiden.

I'm worries that since everyone complained about Aiden being boring that they are going to make this kid hyper and annoying in a forced effort to be "better"

Aiden was a great character, but he only worked because of how he played off of the cast, which was very diverse in their personalities.

I am actually looking forward to the sequel. I just hope they dump the politics, it was a bit lame. Everything else was stellar, the music, characters and environment were amazing.

And why retire Aiden? Are they trying to appeal to hipsters or something? That guy looks like half the population on the streets of Los Angeles...oh right lol

The game noone is asking for

Rather they just used aiden again and just developed his character more and gave him some more depth tbh...

I wonder if they will lose money on this, trying to push for a modern day asassins creed twice.

How do you top the most boring protagonist ever made? You make a hipster Twitter activist.

here come the racism

The multiplayer was so fun but it died so damn quick. I think it filled the stealth void left by splinter cell. Damn Ubisoft are masters at ruining a series.

If he Looked like Elliot Anderson From MR Robot then Ubisoft would have me sold but he looks eh

I didn't like so much the first game but the series has potential.

just like the 1st assassins creed it was garbage. il give this a go

Don't mind that he's of asian ancestry. Just a pitty he looks boring. Ubisoft just lack street sense.

They should of casted the guy from that USA series Mr. Robot.

Is it a female? Lol I honestly can't tell

Ehhhhh...

Last one soured me too much, pass, even if the game ends up good.

So, do they plan to actually make a good game with details like GTA, good MAIN character, and better gameplay besides the hacking?

Hipster Hacker?

something makes me think the main character is Asian...

Character design looks really really boring...

hipster glasses...yuck

Do you guys have a brain? The way the game feels, controls, environment, story, it is nothing like GTA. I guess we can all say Saints Row is a complete GTA ripoff too with that logic, or how about Sleeping Dogs or Mafia. Maybe Crackdown, Just Cause too.

Hell since it's open world how about we throw in Fallout, Elder Scrolls, and Infamous games too since they are open world. In all seriousness all of these games are completely different then GTA. Sure they all open world but these games are clearly very different from each other including Watch Dogs.

No matter who the character is at least give him/her some emotion. Aiden was a bland robot devoid of any feelings at all. It's because of him the child got killed yet he never shed a tear.

I hope it's not always online, that really hurt The Division.

If they can fix the driving, I wouldnt mind an asian protagonist.

They almost nailed the modern SJW hipster look, all hes missing is a big beard and a silly undercut.

I bet ubisoft rebooted watch dogs so WD1 was never happened like mirrors edge1.

Still just couldn't be less interested.

The 1st game was awful. Repetitive. Driving controls were terrible. Missions were nothing more than fetch quests. I'll pass on the sequel. Maybe after it's $5 in the bargain bin.

I'm confused, can someone tell me the skin color of that character please? cus it looks like my eyes are being decieved. *not being racist* :P

You are not alone. You are not alone. Sooner or later maybe that will sink in.

"WHY" I MEAN "WHY?!" NO, NOOOOOOOOO. Go home! Bad Watch Dogs BAD!

Im in the minority when i say im really excited for this i loved the first one the story was great. i just hope they polish it more more detail in the cars and physics. the drop in multiplayer was awesome

gta is king

why would they make a game that was a flop, Ubisoft never learn

I'm actually looking foward to this game. I actually liked Watch Dogs alot. As the first title for a new IP I thought it was very good. I also didn't watch or read alot about Watch Dogs either. Once I decided I was going to get the game I didn't look at any trailers or articles about the game. This way when the game came out I had no preconceived notions and I can go into the game blind. I ended up enjoying the game alot.

That being said I thought driving mechanics and soundtrack was terrible. If that gets resolved that would be enough for me.

DOWNGRADE!

I enjoyed Watch Dogs. Didn't buy into the hype whatsoever but had a good time with it.
