Fortunately, Ubisoft has official shared what there plans for the Watch Dogs sequel.
According to reports from CVG, Ubisoft Montreal's vice president of creative, Lionel Raynaud compared the game's reception to that of the first Assassin's Creed game, telling CVG that although the game has its flaws, he feels that it succeeds in establishing "a brand and promise" for the future.
"The reception has actually been pretty close to Assassin's Creed [1]. With the first one we didn't have such a good reception, and it was fair.
"We had a lot of flaws in the replayability of gameplay loops and you could feel that the game was a first iteration. At the time, there was clear potential but it was not easy to know it was going to become the FRANCHISE that it is today.
"It's the same thing with Watch Dogs: it was difficult to do everything at the right level, which is why we took more time. The time we took was definitely useful - it allowed us to release the game without compromises and do everything that we wanted. We also kept parts of the game we felt didn't fit with the original for the sequel."
He further adds,
"There are flaws, obviously. We absolutely want to tackle these flaws and surprise players, and the way to tackle some of those flaws is going to be quite radical. There are parts of the game that will need to change.
"We have this ambition to have games that are worlds with systems that offer more agency and freedom for players, that allow them to discover the world in the way they want. We want them to be less narrative or character driven and more creative, with more choices for the player.
"This is quite a high ambition and will require us to develop technologies that we didn't have for Watch Dogs 1, but this combined with fixing and refining what worked well is probably the way to go for Watch Dogs 2."
"WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT MOST PLAYERS LIKED"
Whatever plans Ubisoft has on Watch Dogs 2, gamers are eager to know when will they establish those ideas to make the sequel even better than the original game.
