Watch Dogs Gets New Four Minute Welcome To Chicago trailer

Ubisoft has unveiled their latest trailer for Watch Dogs, whose May release date is creeping up on us alarmingly quickly.

The trailer is called “Welcome to Chicago” and shows off Watch Dogs’ city environment, giving details of both the city and the people living within it...

There is still a lot to talk circulating about graphical downgrades since the game’s initial reveal. We’re willing to consider it as a possibility; perhaps Aiden does not look quite as slick as he did in that 2013 reveal footage. That being said, the game still looks pretty damn glossy in terms of visuals, so we will leave it down to you to decide whether and to what degree the graphics have been downgraded.

According to the trailer, the people of Chicago won’t just be your run-of-the-mill AI drones, but will “react intelligently” to their environments. In Watch Dogs, everyone is a potential victim or villain, anyone could be a potential bounty hunter, and anyone can be hacked, spied on (even in their own homes) or interacted with, at the player’s whim. If all these promises do indeed come to fruition, this could be some very impressive AI and will have a big impact on the depth and enjoyability of the game. Check the whole trailer out for yourself below.

There’s one hell of a lot of information in this trailer, especially in the montage of clips towards the end. If you’re interested, I definitely spotted a giant robotic spider at 3:36-7, perched on top of a skyscraper. We’re not sure what this could be, but since it looks a little intriguing we’re putting it to a GD vote.

Watch Dogs will arrive on May 27 for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PC. The Wii U version will follow at a later date. What do you think of the latest trailer and talk of graphical downgrading? What's with the giant mech spider?
