Watch Dogs will be available in just a few short days, so naturally, Ubisoft has released a launch trailer to promote the game. As I’m watching the trailer, it dawns on me, protagonist Aiden Pearce isn’t a “good guy” in any way, shape, or form. Sure, an early trailer showed him breaking up a sex slavery ring, but how many innocent people has he hurt and murdered due to the hacks he has to use to escape his pursuers? All told, I’m guessing hundreds (possibly thousands) of people were injured and several dozen more were killed as a result of Pearce’s rampage. The city of Chicago is a big place and that stunt with the power grid probably caused several massive car accidents alone.
He’s a loose cannon, is what I’m saying. Or maybe I’m reading too much into it…
Watch Dogs will be available for the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on May 27. The game will also be released for the Wii U sometime this Fall.
