I hope the spidertank stuff garners a lot of attention and it leads to Ubisoft using the concepts in this game to make a Ghost in the Shell open world game. I'd buy the hell out of that game. When I first saw the hacking stuff I immediately thought of that franchise.

If you plan to upgrade you computer to play this game it's almost guaranteed that it will be a tie in with high end Nvidia cards pretty soon. Don't buy anything yet.

Because that is what they look like? Just because it doesn't meet the biological definition of a spider doesn't mean people do not appropriate the term because it fits the design better.

They look like bugs. More like beetles.

A bug has to have 8 legs to look like a spider, at least to me. Otherwise it looks like any other bug besides a spider.

Okay. And I guess you get to call it a bug-bot. The rest of the world will continue to call it a spider because of its big butt.

Obviously this is another case of the PC release being hampered by console specifications. Hey game developers, just because consoles can't handle all eight legs is no reason to punish us PC gamers!

So exactly how "Chicagoy" is this game?

Reading up on it, it features a place called "The Mad Mile". Does Chicago charge more to say "Mag Mile"?

Not even sure what The Wards and Farmer Square is supposed to be.

Considering in some footage I've seen what looks like giant rolling hills off in the distance, I don't have a ton of faith that they'll be going for accuracy here. In other words, my dreams of reenacting the final chase scene from the Blues Brothers will probably not come to fruition.
