Proof Of ‘Watch Dogs’ Creator ‘Ubisoft’ Failing To Deliver Advertised Products [Video]

Whenever E3 comes around, “Ubisoft” is one of the biggest attractions during the convention. Their presentations are always grand and feature video game titles that offer phenomenal graphics, gameplay, and features. However, a new video uploaded on YouTube showed how starkly different the E3 demos and the final products are, reinforcing the idea that the game developer has been cheating customers through misleading marketing.

The video in question was uploaded by a person with the username CrowbCat, according to a Game Rant article by Alexander Pan. The video is 15 minutes long and highlights differences in the visual elements of some of Ubisoft’s most recent games in terms of their E3 demo version and the retail version. Some of the titles included are the blockbuster “Tom Clancy’s The Division,” along with “Watch Dogs” and “Far Cry 4.”

In the video, everything from the lighting, textures, level design, and even gameplay are different compared to what was showcased during E3. In his article, Pan noted how in the “Watch Dogs” sequence, the E3 version featured more fluid movements, a crowded world, and impressive lighting compared to the final product. This was noticed by the majority of players who bought the game as well, leading many to pronounce the title as an embarrassment.

With “Ubisoft” recently announcing that the sequel to the heavily criticized game “Watch Dogs 2” will be featured during their next E3 presentation, fans will be paying close attention, particularly with E3 2016 so close. On that note, “Ubisoft” has made some changes when it comes to their policies on the demos that they release, so it’s likely that what fans will see during the convention will be closer to the final product than its predecessor.

This is incredibly important these days as well, with disgruntled fans going so far as to issue death threats after a game is delayed. There’s no telling what can happen if a disappointment like “Watch Dogs” should be repeated.
