I recently went hands-on with Watch Dogs 2 for a little over a half dozen unfettered hours. Aside from the preview, I also wanted to share an entire cache of behind-the-scenes pictures that showcase the creation process for the various landmarks in the game. In fact, to bring the game to life they traveled 43 districts, took over 40,000 pictures, and captured over 200 hours of video in San Francisco and the surrounding areas. In fact, all civilians in the game were captured in the city, with each offering small tweaks that make it as authentic as possible. With 36 architectural styles covering 50 modeling kits, the team built the best representation of San Francisco possible. From the street art to the real-world instruments in Chinatown, the world of Watch Dogs 2 is alive. But don’t take my word for it — take a look for yourself below.
Watch Dogs 2 comes to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on November 15th, with PC arriving two weeks later.
