Ubisoft senior producer Dominic Guay has confirmed that the driving physics in the upcoming video game "Watch Dogs 2" will be better when it is released. He also revealed the reason for using San Francisco as its new location for the video game.
Guay said in an interview with Stevivor that the first game had negative feedback when it came to its driving mechanics, so it needed to be changed. The upcoming video game sequel will have better driving physics, since the game company got help from Ubisoft Reflections to work on better driving models. Driving is an important feature of the game, which is why they needed to make it work and fun.
The reason why they chose San Francisco as its new location initially was because it was a beautiful place to use as a model. The location was diverse, and it was rich in culture and had different people living in it. He later revealed that the real main reason was it had the Silicon Valley, which has all of those technological people, and companies who are inventing different types of technology that people will buy in the future.
Guay and the rest of the game development team are now happy with what they have now. According to Attack of the Fanboy, the driving physics of the first "Watch Dogs" video game had a lot of issues that players did not like about it, which is why they needed to change it. They also wanted to fix the driving mechanics because the game is an action game, and the feeling of a driving simulation game in the first game did not work well.
Players will be able to drive and shoot at the same time without too much hassle in this new upcoming sequel. Guay said that they made sure to listen to the feedback from the fans and critics, so hopefully nobody will complain about the driving when the video game is released in November.
In other news, the senior producer teased that the players might recognize some characters from the first video game in this new sequel. The prequel will always be a part of the new game, and everything that happened to the first protagonist, Aiden Pierce, had an impact on the game franchise's universe.
