3 REASONS TO STOCK

• Released on all major platforms• Hugely anticipated• Great pre-order incentives

One of this years’ most fiercely anticipated titles is finally ready forlaunch this month after a mammoth 5 years in development.

Watch_Dogs is an exhilarating open-world action adventure starring AidenPearce - a gifted vigilante hacker must use all his skills to track down thoseresponsible for hurting his family.

From the people behind smash hit franchises: Assassin’s Creed and SplinterCell, Watch_Dogs shares the studios same creative masterminds that madethose games so special.

With an additional 6 months of polishing and refinement, the makers ofWatch_Dogs used the time wisely to make the game the best it could possiblybe. Speaking with Edge Magazine, Creative Director Jonathon Morincommented “When everything started to connect to each other, we started tofeel the limitations of certain reactions.”

He continued “When you have so many animations, so many audio bars to do,so much text to write… the amount of content is so outstanding that whenyou start to play the game, sometimes you hit something you’ve never seenbefore and it’s not right, so you need more time.”

There are over 30 weapons for players to get their hands on, and 65 vehiclesto explore the city with. Thanks to contributions from the team behind Driver,driving feels great.

Watch_Dogs will also deliver stunning realism, dynamic AI inhabitants, androbust reputation system, thanks to the 'Disrupt' game engine. With allversions developed in tandem, and without trimming down the mechanics fordifferent platforms, gamers will enjoy the same great experience no mattertheir system.

The decisions players make will create a "ripple effect" on not just the story,but the city and the life of Chicago's population, making player choice a key feature.

Watch_Dogs also features an elaborate one-on-one multiplayer element,where a player becomes a generic NPC avatar in another player's world, andmust attempt to upload a virus to the other player’s mobile device.

The player will be notified of the virus, and must track down the rival hackerto stop them before the hack is complete. The multiplayer will be unavailableduring story missions, so players won’t need to worry about other hackersinterposing an important moment.

Watch_Dogs will be one of this year's major AAA releases. Get in touch withyour Exertis Gem account manager today.

At its core Watch_Dogs uses some well-worn genre mechanics, but it overlays these with both a level of visualsheen that only next-gen can provide, andthe type of large-scale interactivity thathasn’t been seen before.

It’s hugely enjoyable tothrash around in.

The hacking system iscertainly the game's biggeststrength, providing lots of inventive and additional ways toachieve objectives.

DIGITAL SPY

It’s no shock to say that

'Watch_Dogs'is a brilliantly ambitious and graphically stunning new take on the open-world action genre.

Kinect Sports Rivals puts players in the game like never before, tracking not onlylimbs, but fingers, hand gestures, even facial movements and expressions withincredible accuracy.

Scanning the player, Kinect instantly produces a stylised avatar called a “Champion”.This one-of-a-kind athlete is dropped on to a rich seamless island, where all thesporting action happens.

Both global and personal games are held here daily, on pounding waves and toweringstacks, target ranges and tennis courts, with 6 exciting sports to master: Tennis,Bowling, Soccer, Wake Race, Target Shooting and Climbing.

Delivering new sports and events that were never before possible, thanks to the XboxOne’s revolutionary technology, this new and improved tracking lets players delivermore lifelike moves such as devastating backspins and lobs in Tennis.

Or the all-important spin with a skilful twist of the wrist to achieve a strike in bowling.

Soccer returns from previous entries with a new approach. Players must pass the ballto static marked and unmarked team mates; the increased difficulty of the passes willprovide added shooting power when player finally targets the goal.

Target shooting requires players to accurately point at targets to activate them, buttargets will decrease in score value over time, so order and timing is key for masteringthis activity.

Another new addition is Rock climbing, where players open and close their hands togrip on to the digital rock face.

Finally Wake Racing brings exciting Jet-ski races by revving and steering withimaginary handles over stunning waves.

Progressively mastering sporting events by levelling up, players can gain fame andunlock rewards. It’s a world full of sports that all will enjoy. Customers can take onfriends at home or rivals online across the world.
