what are your thoughts on it?

It was great.Really impressive.I hope it has free roam,messing around by jamming connection of the phones,"spying" others and causing car accidents.Ubisoft did a great job once again.
I'm differently gonna get.

Sorry for double posting but has the release date been announced?

The title gave me a "let's watch puppies" feeling.. I'm disappointed

Never heard of it before but it looks very interesting. I'm hoping that the "rescuing the civilian" part is procedural and can happen any time you cause a pile up, and not just something that happens at that point, (UND ONLY ZAT POINT!) because that was quite cool. Also, dat coat physics mang.

Before the crash scene, I noticed that there were other thing you could control, like the train. I wonder if there are various ways to make things happen that affect the area in different ways and provide a different experience. If you have to do the right thing each time in a linear fashion, this game will probably suck.

Looks cool. Not really my cup of tea, but still something I'd like play.

Once again, Ubisoft has created something excellent. They've rarely disappointed me and this game looks fantastic. I'll definitely be watching this and preordering once a date is announced.

Looks very nice, just hoping there are multiple ways to complete an objective, sorta like Deus Ex

Like stated before, if there are no possibilities to do the mission in other ways, then well...it's gonna suck. Altho i'd like a bit more of a free roam thing aspect in this game

I haven't seen anything else from this year's E3 besides Resident Evil 6 but this really looks like a game that I must have at the moment. The Survilence devices used in the preview looks like it'll be one of the few important features.

It has the same kind of feel from Deus Ex but at the same time it also has the combat system of Assasin's Creed. Plot looks interesting as well. Me likey.

The graphics look great too, will be definitely picking this up for the PC when I get my new computer.

The HUD is so Assassin's Creed, but that's okay. Damn, the animation and details are really good.

Holy crap, this is like GTA mixed with Assassin's Creed, and the graphics are amazing. I'm totally getting this.

I'm not fucking getting it for the PC. Ubisoft fucking sucks at their PC games. They overdo the DRM, they have shitty customer service, and they make the shittiest ports ever. I'm done with Ubisoft on the PC unless they get their shit together.

Looks amazing. The coat physics are great, love all of the animations and the AI is great - I love how a bystander rushes to help in the car crash, hope that isn't scripted and that would happen normally in the game. Wonder if there will be any Assassin's Creed style parkour.

I hope not. Splinter cell already looks like AC,I don't want every game of Ubisoft to have that style.Of course some moves so that he can pass some obstacles would be useful but climbing buildings would be horrible.

Can I say it's uninspiring? It really does look like another Splinter Cell or Assains Creed. Sure you may set up how the scenario is being played; but guns, killing people, open world, I've seen it before.

Not dismaying from this kind of gameplay, anything away from COD is good gameplay. But I'm conserned it might be the next COD if we are not careful.

It looks cool.

If it has proper AI and allows actual emergent gameplay and creative ways to complete your objective, it might be really awesome. If the whole game is as scripted as the E3 demo, though, it'll be just another uninspired open world shooter with a gimmick.

Graphics are amazing, but it was shown on a high end PC, just saying.. Consoles wont look as good.

Im looking forward to this game though a lot, got game of the year written all over it for me. This year or next, when ever its released :P

Call of 00 theft auto.

Seriously though looks sorta interesting need to see more gameplay or an interview before I decide whether it's a buy.

Looks amazing can't wait to buy this? But do you guys think it's GOTY material?

You are a god. Dang it, ubisoft really tried to do this right and didn't script this to hell. But now, along side with this game, there are 3-4 games that could be nominated for the GOTY award. The Dishonoured from bethseda and The Last of Us from naughty dog. Who do you think will take the best spot?

Also, your approach to the gameplay will be:
The good guy
The bad guy
anything in between (good but violent, bad assassin, good hacker, ect)

My first play through is definitely going to be "good intentions, chaotic execution." Need a convoy to stop? Cause a pile up and make traffic come to a stand still. Need to kill someone who's driving away? Make their GPS direct them onto a train track and then short the engine. I can think of SO many ways to be a dick in a game like this.

Thank you man.God this makes a lot more interesting.Every person has a life?I mean every person's an individual,you can follow people to their homes and they have personal information.That's new to video games isn't it?

Looks good but almost everything looks good at E3 gameplay trailers tbh from what i see its pretty much GTA + Assasins creed frosting + Deus ex sugar but i hope they will really make you free on how you want to finish a mission like some missions of Deus Ex. I think it could have been better without bullet time for increased realism and i think it would have been awesome if we had some kind of skill trees like close combat or hacking etc like Deus ex but a little more diverse also the plot looks pretty straight forward with gta like missions so I expect atleast a decent game

You'll actually be getting the certain perks through out the story, so you won't start out with everything you've seen in the trailer gameplay. And actually in certain situations time does seem to slow down. The power of our brain. Well, it doesn't really get to the bullet time level, but it still is possible. I think the bullet time will be a nice addition, but i hope that it will be balanced. And the way you play the game isn't gta at all. The trailer could have been played so many different ways, The assassin way, the rambo way, hacking way (which was shown in the trailer) and basicly anything you can come up with. Kill the guy by shooting him down in the street, stalking him and taking him down silently in the park, ect, ect. This is nothing like gta. The only GTA thing about this game is the radar and the car-walk-free-roam kinda gamestyle
