We wanted to pick a major city that was super well-known internationally.There were a few choices but London boiled down to being the best one. So, going there and also having to understand the culture of London and their sense of humor and all that kind of stuff.But then in WD2 there are five-six of you in San Francisco and then we were like, let’s have a bigger team and maybe we should be able to have people in and out, but at that point we were just like, “maybe you should be able to play as anyone.”We started to break down the problem and figured out how to do it and then got the right people to do it and we eventually did it.I think it was a good couple of years before we were like definite about making the gameplay element work… it was tough, just really tough.So many different people are so required to be involved in that innovation that once we got the right people that were really driven to carry it, it almost became a self-propagating thing where they really wanted to do it cause it was so innovative for all of them so it was fun problems to have –hard problems are fun problems.We didn’t want to record the script a whole bunch of times with a whole bunch of actors and then have to modulate those voices to make different sounding ones and then have all of that data on the disk –it would’ve blown the hard drive away.With the voice modulation tech, you can hear the actor playing me talking to another character who doesn’t look like me who has the same voice as me talking together and you wouldn’t know that it’s the same person because the voices are so different.We really wanted to make sure that non-lethal was an option in any combat encounter.I’m not going to say it was a goal for us to say that players can beat the game without killing anyone –maybe you can, I actually don’t know. We’re now looking at Here’s the full Watch Dogs Legion interview with Ubisoft Toronto game director Kent Hudson:Additionally, you can customize their weapons – which often have a synergistic relationship with their trait and perks that support a custom playstyle.Other than that, all characters are recruited from free roam – literally anywhere in the world – and they each have an origin story to play as part of their recruitment.There are three classes, each of which has a unique ability (spiderbot, cloak, or sticky mine) and a set of nine perks to choose from to help customize their individual playstyle. Players are going to find there’s tons to do and hours and hours of content in the world to explore.As I touched on above, the ability to Play as Anyone allows players to literally recruit any character they encounter in the open world to their team. Among others, Hudson let us know about multiple playthroughs, storylines focused on villains and its minigames.Even though the game is still away from release, we can’t help but get excited over the leap the franchise took since Watch Dogs 2. Because in a lot of other games, once you start shooting and break stealth, now you have to start shooting and kill everyone.That’s all for our Q&A with Clint Hocking.
