GTA 5 Mod Brings Watch Dogs-Inspired Hacking to Los Santos

@esqueejy: Have to agree with pretty much all of that.

I think a high-up at Ubisoft recently compared Watch Dogs to the first Assassin's Creed, I think he's definitely right in terms of there not being enough mission variety. I really wanted more pay-off for following up on the whole underground slave trade thing but it was just more tailing missions identical to ones I'd done before. The graphical downgrade was a bit disappointing but I think it's main flaw was that it shied away from the darker gritty content that it teased when we first saw it. Still a great game though, I'm looking forward to a second one with a few lessons learned from the first.

@ps3gamer1234: The burnout & accelerate thing is pretty cool, I wonder if WD2 will have some self-driving cars to hack. Being able to hack every car is probably too much but if it's set in the near future then there should be at least a few driving around.

@FBohler: Just curious. Not like picking on you like the other replies. How would you have the hacking implemented? Like deus ex ie minigame?

@FBohler: In real world the end result would be also aim, choose an option and press a button to work your hacking magic. In reality like the script was made it took many hours of work to make it work seamlessly as it is now. Hacking itself is mind nummingly boring unless you're into numbers like the average guy is into porn.
And it works as good as the real watch dogs and has more options, why are you whining about it that people would prefer this over the original.

@FBohler: So, your saying that actually hacking the traffic lights wouldn't great havoc in real life? Like turning all lights green on a busy crossing in let's say New YorK?

@FBohler: You probably haven't watched the whole video. There's a part where he hacks a "camera" in a traffic light and at another he produces a blackout. Well yes, you "wreak havoc" just by pressing a button, but he definitely dedicated a lot of work into it. And I'm familiar with other mods from that same guy, JulioNIB. He did weapon and radio station wheels for GTA IV (yes, GTA FOUR!) If you remember correctly, there were no such thing in that game, you had to press left/right to switch weapons and radio stations one by one, with no slowdown. Same modder did the character switch (don't ask me how, it's probably not fully functional, but still...) similar to GTA V, in GTA IV (you switch between Niko, Johnny Klebitz and Luis Lopes with the D-pad), even the DLC episodes being different .exe files... Have absolutely no idea how. Google some of it, guy's a legend.

@nl_skipper: Well, looks like you didn't play WD at all and are here just to troll Ubi.
