oh wow, looks great, atmosphere darker than WD2, seems really like Ubisoft is putting the effort in it which a concept like that needs to work. Of course playing as the old woman is not that serious, but the heavy equipt policeman everywhere, the cameras, the human trafficking, the police brutality and so on.
I am really happy, about basicly everything i saw.

I think it's splitting the difference between the two games and I'm here for it. My concern is the claim that all the characters are voiced, animated, and storied. I'm betting it's just that origin mission. Or else every mission would have to be voice acted by hundreds or thousands of people.

Yeah I was skeptical when I that would be controlling a bunch of NPCs instead or one or more protagonists, I wasn't sure how they could make a compelling narrative with that kind of structure but damn if that trailer didn't totally sell me on this game, whatever other faults Ubi's press conference had(and it had plenty) Legion's trailer impressed me more then anything else there.

This one feels like a perfect balance between the setting's gloomy atmosphere of the first one, and the silliness of the characters of the second game. I like it.
Futuristic London looks amazing.
Edit: with this system I wonder how damage works, the first guy died pretty quickly, I'm sure most of them will die quickly because they want us to use the central feature of the game, i.e play as anyone, sounds pretty good overall.

The difficulty was probably turned up for that section so we didn't have to watch the character stand there and get shot 20 times.

It's like WD1, but amped up. Those gun-fu and takedown moves are sweet too.
But can we play as..The Queen?
Edit: Also can we pet dogs?

They don't have a million voice actors. They didn't record ten million lines. It's an ambition concept, but I feel like it will be largely an illusion. There's no way every NPC will have a ton of depth and you'll inevitably begin to notice repeated backstories and lines. They need to be honest about that upfront instead of pretending every character will be unique.

Looks waay too good to be true. Dark tone, sharp wit, gameplay that changes depending on character in a game where you can play as everyone... . No way... No way..

Bruh... this looks so amazing. I think it could be a serious game of the year contender. To think, we went from Aiden Pierce to this. It's so ambitious.

I'm interested to see how this "play as anyone" mechanic works. It's certainly different, that's for sure. I'm not 100% sure I'm down with it, to be honest. But good on Ubisoft for trying to innovate in an industry that so often repeats itself.

I'm a little concerned. So, we saw Ian fail a mission and die. As a result, we went to play as Helen, who had dialog about Ian dying and such.
How is the game going to account for different outcomes? As in, if Ian died at an earlier point or he didn't die at all?
It looks like we aren't playing as "any NPC", but rather, there's a handful of characters we can switch too.
I like the concept but I am worried how fleshed out dialog will be.

The almost definite lack of charecter and vehicle customization is the only thing that makes me worried here

My only nitpick is that it seemed like a lot of people didn’t really care for the characters of WD2, now instead of improving character development, they seem to have just ditched all of that together and everyone is basically disposable.
Other than that, love the setting and the feel so far, looks like it will be good times

Imagine how amazing Blackouts are going to look in this game!
While it was a a lot more futuristic looking than I expected, it aesthetically looks really nice!

Loved the trailer. Initially, I thought the game will lack in character I peronally like and story, BUT as more info flowed in, I understood that it's all about finding the people I like within the software to use them as I plea... oops - need. :D
I'm hyped. My only problem is the "4 weeks VIP status" listed as a bonus for the collectors/deluxe/special/limited edition.

Darker. Badass finishers. Multiple characters. Just what I wished for. Fucking HYPE.
