Much like previous games in the series, scanning a character with your mobile phone enables you to see information about them. As you wander around London, any citizen you see walking down the street can be unlocked and used as a playable character once you have convinced them to join Dedsec.
Legion‘s ‘Play As Anyone’ mechanic is exactly what it says on the tin. And just how deep the in-world simulation system really is within Watch Dogs: Legion.What influence your behaviour has on the citizens of London and how their opinion of Dedsec is influenced by your actions.How recruitment missions are built to be unique storylines driven by their backstories.The complexities of procedurally generating character profiles and backstories such that they feel unique, diverse, engaging but also grounded in reality.How the ‘play as anyone’ concept emerged and the evolution of Watch Dogs character systems.We recently sat down with several of the games development team from Ubisoft Toronto to find out more about how ‘Play as Anyone’ works, including. This results in a system that manages their behaviours and daily schedules – even when they’re not visible to the player – and is one of the most complex character simulations of its kind for an open-world action game. In order for this to work, not only does the game require a character generation system that prioritises diversity in the makeup and style of each citizen, but also a means to create unique backstories and missions for recruitment. Be it silenced weaponry, cloaking devices, attack drones or new vehicles, ranging from motorcycles and vans all the way to ambulances and rocket-firing spy cars.Įach of these characters is unique and procedurally generated at runtime while you play the game. With each newly unlocked character, you have access to an increasing array of abilities, perks and gadgets. And in a first for the series, the game introduces what Ubisoft refers to as ‘Play as Anyone’ – a gameplay system that allows the player to take control of any character seen walking through the streets of London once they’re allied to the cause. To help you in your mission, players must find new recruits for the Dedsec hacker group. As part of the resurging Dedsec rebellion, you cause chaos across an authoritarian London to bring down the cities ctOS surveillance system and expose the injustices brought by private military contractor Albion. Watch Dogs: Legion is an evolution of the open-world hacker playground we have come to expect of the franchise. You can support this work by visiting my Patreon page.
