YouTube user GamesHQMedia must have access to Chicago’s CtOS or something, as the hacker has uploaded six full minutes of Watch Dogs. The video – which is admittedly a bit grainy – is supposedly running on a PC specced to the same level as a PlayStation 4. Honestly, we’re a teensy bit disappointed by the visuals in places, but it’s hard to get a clear idea of the quality due to the low-resolution footage.
Still, this gives us a good glimpse at a number of new mechanics, including the driving. There are definitely some neat ideas on display here, so we’re looking forward to seeing more at E3 next month. Is this game on your wishlist? Let us know in the comments section below.

It's on my pre-order list with my PS4.
A lot of the footage seems to be similar to what's in the CVG video:

There must be a PR clip doing the rounds.
@Paranoimia Yep, I reckon you're right. Must be B-Roll or something. Suspect it will get pulled shortly.
They are using a lot of animations directly from Assassin's Creed, as well as HUD elements/placement and some gameplay mechanics. I'm not too excited, especially considering how predictable and hand holding AC has turned out since Brotherhood. Yeah, this is other game, but I'm seeing it as some kind of a branch of that series.
I wish the devs are able to make WD work when the player turn off the excessive HUD elements, which is something you can't do in AC without getting seriously lost and unable to progress.
I'll back out and park my stolen getaway vehicle nicely.
Said no real gamer ever.
1 really minor quibble -
About 30 seconds into the video when he's shopping and those HUGE WHITE RECTANGLES blot out half the screen when he's shopping, I would have preferred him just looking down into the case at the actual items.
@AceSpadeS What?! O always park my stolen cars nicely, especially in GTA.
