I have not seen this part yet - will probably play with that disabled since I don't want random people interrupting my efforts to mindlessly farm whatever

At least on PC the multiplayer option is greyed out and flagged as "coming December 2020".

Watch Dogs Legion seems fine. I can't imagine having a strong opinion either way about it. The "every character is playable" thing is neat but I think I will just end up having a stable of a handful of people and then stop recruiting more. It's fine.

Actual Series X captured Watch Dogs Legion footage from Ubisoft, showing off ray tracing etc.

Looks real good. Shame the game doesn't sound that interesting to play. Hopefully be less crashy by Series X launch.

The words 'consistent 30fps' really should not be considered wow-inducing by PR departments in 2020.

WD2 had some cool ideas that got smothered by boring design and low difficulty that puts no pressure on you to engage with the gameplay. Sounds like Legion is similar, that's a bummer. Being able to recruit a wide variety of characters could've been a really cool hook in the right hands. If switching characters had a more meaningful impact on the game then it could've been something like an open world Hitman.

They probably shouldn't have said that out loud a minute before talking about the raytracing etc.

I must say, these open world walk around games just look so good these days. The Spider-Man one on PS5 looks similarly excellent from that POV. Looking forward to what comes out when the tech has really had time to mature.

The idea sounds too bold and interesting for an assembly line Ubisoft sequel to do it justice.

Ubi 3rd person games are weird (this passing gen), because they can be breathtaking in one moment, and almost hideous the next.

I specify 3rd person, because the Far Cry games are gorgeous.

Sony has been promising for a while that 99 percent of PlayStation 4 games will be backward compatible on PS5. It recently released a list of just a few titles that won't make the cut. However, Ubisoft says PlayStation 5 won't support some of its games either.

In a blog post laying out how cross-play and cross-progression work on Ubisoft Connect, the publisher revealed some Assassin's Creed titles and other games won't work on PlayStation 5. The console won't be able to run Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles Trilogy Pack, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles India, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles China, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles Russia, Risk, Star Trek Bridge Crew, Werewolves Within and Space Junkies.

Microsoft confirmed this week that every non-Kinect title that works on Xbox One will run on Xbox Series X and Series S when those consoles arrive.

In a sense, yes. Keep that drift going and you'll rack up points. It rules.

one of my favorite kudos challenge races was (i think) the san francisco stage because you could string a combo together the entire race and get a ludicrous score. looks like i will be getting forza when my xbox comes in

No, PGR's whole thing is that it takes place in just real world cities and it's not open world. It's a totally different game.

ubisoft decided to change the name of their online platform and how the rewards system works, but only updating it for very recent and upcoming titles. the rest are being left to rot, so odds are the games will work on the consoles same as pc but all the extras will be given out (and presumably the mtx shops stopped)

no, they specifically call out those games as ones that won't be playable on ps5 on this blog post: https://ubisoftconnect.com/en-US/news/ignt.23726

So far the hacking is exactly like older games. If you want more of the same you might like it.

Example of the low effort though - no one is in the moving cars. You just hijack them and nothing happens.

There are plenty of people in the cars. the cars with the ((A)) marker are empty, and the ones without have a driver.

There is a lot of effort in the world of the game, but I am not sure they understood the hacking gameplay fun from previous games. The "call police/call gangster feature" that was fun in WD2 isn't there for example.

It's just good business strategy to make sure games from 2015 work on the console where they're the only games.

Hopefully Sony can fix whatever is causing problems in those Ubisoft games, and hopefully other publishers and developers go through their games and let players know ahead of time.

It's just so weird that this list didn't come from Sony. I wonder if these games boot but are significantly impaired. Sony's continued weirdness about BC continues to baffle me.
