1. Watch Dogs (stylized as WATCH_DOGS) is an upcoming open world action-adventure video game
developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is due for release worldwide on May 27,
2014 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One consoles. The Wii
U version of the game has been put on hold while the other versions are being worked on.
The game is set within a fictionalized version of Chicago, Illinois. The single-player story is told
through Aiden Pearce, a highly skilled hacker, who can hack into various electronic systems, either to
obtain and control information or to destroy such devices completely at specific times.
The storyline of Watch Dogs game is built around the concept of information warfare, data being
interconnected, and the world's increasing use of technology—questioning who exactly runs the
computers they depend on. The game is set in an alternate reality version of Chicago, Illinois, which
is one of many cities to feature a supercomputer known as a "ctOS" (Central Operating System). The
system controls every piece of technology in the city, and contains information on all of the city's
residents and activities which can be used for various purposes. In the game's universe,
the Northeast blackout of 2003 was found to be caused by a hacker, prompting the development of
the ctOS. The game will put the player in control of Aiden Pearce, a highly skilled hacker and
former thug. Due to a "violent family tragedy", Aiden seeks to bring his own form of justice to the
culprits through the ctOS. The creative director of Watch Dogs stated that the main story will be 35–
40 hours long.
Target Audience
When watch dogs was in early development they played a demo at E3 and in the demo the game
closely and mainly looked at the ideas of finding your way through levels with stealth and hacking
functions. This would indicate that the target audience for this game would be people who are
patient and prefer to be stealthy in their missions rather than the people who would just shoot their
way through a mission. For this I would target audiences that were aged around 16-18 years of age
rather than children who will get frustrated and just quit never to return. In addition to this I would
think that they would target older audiences because they have a more open way of thinking and
generating ideas outside of the standard way of getting through a level.
