Watch-Dogs-PS4-Announce If you stayed up to watch the PlayStation Meeting 2013 last night, you may already have seen this brand new Watch Dogs footage. But you’ll want to see it again, in crystal clear 1080p HD.

We’ve got that video for you to watch again, along with some screenshots, but also the news that the game will not only be coming to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC and Wii U, no…also, it will be a PS4 launch title!

Players will assume the role of Aiden Pearce, a new type of vigilante who, with the help of his smartphone, will use his ability to hack into Chicago’s central operating system (ctOS) and control almost every element of the city. Aiden will be able to tap into the city’s omnipresent security cameras, download personal information to locate a target, control systems such as traffic lights or public transportation to stop a chase, and more. The city of Chicago is now the ultimate weapon.

“Ubisoft has a strong history of supporting new technologies with unique and creative offerings,” said Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer, Ubisoft. “The power and capability of the PS4 allows the Watch_Dogs team to further push the boundaries of what was previously thought possible in interactive entertainment.”

Anyway, enough talk – check out the fantastic video below, and the screens.
