<p>Today we&#8217;re pleased to debut a <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/watch_dogs/">Watch_Dogs</a> developer diary as part of PlayStation&#8217;s &#8220;Conversations With Creators,&#8221; an ongoing series that focuses on <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps4/">PS4</a> game development with some of the most accomplished game studios in the world. </p>
<p>In this video, you get to meet two of the driving forces in the Watch_Dogs dev team: Dominic, our senior producer and Jonathan, the creative director. Together, they discuss the vision of Watch_Dogs and ultimately, some of the development details for the PlayStation platforms.</p>
<p>By working in close collaboration with PlayStation, the team is working to harness the full power of the PS4. This gives them the opportunity to create a truly no-compromises experience with high-resolution environment textures and advanced special effects. The game experience, much like the city you’ll get to play in, will be rich, deep, and detailed.</p>
<p>As Jonathan and Dominic explain in the video, connectivity is at the heart of the Watch_Dogs experience. We already know Aiden is connected to his own environment, but we also want to give the players new and different ways to connect with each other, and working with PlayStation makes this possible.</p>
<p>In the end, we want to let you experience what it truly feels like to be in a hyper-connected world, whether it be in single player, multiplayer, at home, or even on the go.</p>
<p>Remember, you can always visit the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Watch-Dogs/283814255058906">Watch_Dogs Facebook page</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/watchdogsgame">Twitter</a> account for great content and conversation. You can also <a href="http://watchdogs.ubi.com/watchdogs/en-us/purchase/">pre-order</a> your copy on the <a href="http://watchdogs.ubi.com/watchdogs/en-us/home/index.aspx">official website</a>.</p>

<p>Nik here, it’s nice to get another opportunity to chat with you guys. Today we’re digging a bit deeper into the human puzzle that is Aiden Pearce by launching our World Premiere Gameplay Trailer. Here you’ll get to know Aiden a bit better, and most importantly, you’ll discover what drives him to do the things he does. You’ll get a good picture of how he uses the city of Chicago against those who crossed him&#8230; and you’ll see how far he will go to make them pay.</p>
<p>We’re also happy to announce that <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/watch_dogs/" target="_blank">Watch_Dogs</a> now has an official launch date &#8212; the game will be available on <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps3/" target="_blank">PS3</a> starting November 19th. (We&#8217;ll be back to talk about the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps4/" target="_blank">PS4</a> version and its release timing at a later date.) In addition, those of you who pre-order at GameStop will also get an exclusive Watch_Dogs poster, designed by the legendary comic book artist Alex Ross. The poster’s design is the inspiration behind the game’s box art and captures the essence of our hero, Aiden Pearce.</p>
<p>That’s the last of our announcements for now, but you can look forward to even more exciting info soon. Until then, you might want to watch the new trailer one more time… there are a lot of intricacies you may have missed. And for those of you who just can’t wait for more Watch Dogs content, we also have a brand-new set of wallpapers for you to use on your PS3 and PS Vita!</p>

<p>Watch_Dogs is back. In reality it never really went away, but it has been a while since <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/e312/">E3 2012</a>. A lot of development has been done on our side. We know you have many questions. Believe this: we’ll do our best in the upcoming months to answer all of them… well, most of them.</p>
<p>For now, though, the whole development team is very proud to show you this new gameplay demo where you’ll get to see yet another facet of Watch_Dogs in action. In it, you can see that Watch_Dogs will be a game of opportunities and choices; of connections and consequences.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/8492673383/" title="Watch_Dogs by PlayStation.Blog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8380/8492673383_e9792150ea_z.jpg" width="640" height="167" alt="Watch_Dogs"></a></p>
<p>As we continue our march towards launch you’ll get to know Aiden Pearce, our mysterious protagonist. Learn what drives him and what makes him tick. You’ll get to experience and understand the concept of a hyper-connected, smart city. You’ll realize what it is like to have complete control over a major city right at your fingertips and the chaos it can create. </p>
<p>Watch_Dogs will be available on <a href="https://us.playstation.com/ps4/?CMP=soc_us__cp_ps4_reveal" target="_blank">PlayStation 4</a> at launch, as well as the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/ps3">PlayStation 3</a> computer entertainment system.
