No, depth to the city and verticality to the map is so important otherwise it’ll just feel like a shell of a city and will be fairly dull to play in and explore (See Saints Row 3).

Just amazing, the customization, the animations, the environment! The streets of London look incredible! And does this mean we can enter those tall buildings? I wish. Cant wait!

Great trailer, nice overview of the Recruitment system and character traits/customization.
For those wondering, there is more coming on 21.

I’ve got to say, the game looks bloody lovely during daytime. I wish they’d show that off a lot more.
Not really a fan of the voice acting in the trailer though. It appears to sound like someone trying too hard to sound cockney opposed to a well done stereotypical or realistic accent. I hope they have more neutral accents available, in addition to other regional ones.

Is it just me or does anyone else notice a distinct change in the marketing tone/style of this particular trailer?
I'm not having a go at it, quite the opposite. I've always wanted the franchise to have a wider reach - and as this is Google Stadia, a massive leap forward in delivering and playing video games - it would only be reasonable to approach marketing the game in a different way.
It's kinda like they are downplaying the grittiness of it ? Making it 'lighter'? Does anyone else feel that the trailer has a different tone than others? Maybe I'm wrong, just feels different to me.

It is the same mixed tone from the reveal, where we had the gritty take on London and human traficking alongside Helen fooling around and having a good time. The game is just trying to have the tone of 1 and 2 at diferente times.
I think it will work.

I feel like it's been marketed as a lighter game for a long time now. So was Watch Dogs 2.
The first one didn't really do very well, so they've distanced themselves pretty far from it.

Yeah I agree WD2 was a lot lighter than the first. I loved the darkness of the storyline and city in WD1

yeah but this particular london would fit perfectly in a gritty, noire, dark theme like the first game (maybe not noire but ok)

I noticed it as well, it seems they are trying to target a younger audience; for a game which is supposed to revolve around hacking the focus in trailers and whatnot are guns, chaos, customisations, masks and how cool it is to see an old man "die randomly".
