Ubisoft on Watch Dogs Flaws and Sequel

A senior figure at Ubisoft has highlighted plans for the future of the Watch Dogs series.

The much anticipated game launched in May 2014 to a very mixed audience, with critics having faced issues with the gameplay designs and storyline.

Ubisoft Montreal's vice president of creative, Lionel Raynaud said in an interview that, despite its flaws, the game succeeded in creating a "brand and promise" going forward. Raynaud likened the game's feedback to the first Assassin's Creed, how the studio "didn't have such a good reception, and it was fair."

He admitted that "it was difficult to do everything at the right level" and how "it was not easy to know it was going to become the franchise that it is today."

In the next game, the team will address these issues and "the way to tackle some of those flaws is going to be quite radical. There are parts of the game that will need to change," he teased. Parts of the original concept that didn't quite fit will also be fed into the sequel.

The Wii U version will launch in the US on 18th November and 20th November in Europe.
