Watch Dogs Video

This video is a live-action clip with a stunt intended to promote Watch Dogs, Ubisoft's upcoming open world hacking game. In the clip, regular people are supposedly pranked with a phone app, though it seems likely the whole shebang is staged, in which case it's actually us who are being pranked.

If someone I don't know installs an app without my permission, I'm calling the police and getting a new phone. This (totally not faked) "prank" would have rather broken down at the 1 minute mark when I grabbed the phone, yelled at the sales assistant and called the cops.

Still no game play.....not good....

Is that somehow different from Ubisoft's other titles? They've always preferred flashy trailers and gimmicks instead of actual gameplay. It doesn't mean their games aren't pretty fucking good generally speaking. It generates them more YouTube views and more sales, and can be done entirely by the marketing department or an outside firm. Gameplay trailers require a lot of cooperation from the development side and a lot of bickering about what to show can arise, etc. It's just messy and since it doesn't generate sales, they don't bother.

Besides, even if they were showing more gameplay, they could just as easily cherry-pick gameplay segments that they felt would appeal to more people.

If you're a smart buyer you should be waiting for a verdict on the final product anyway, not trying to prognosticate based on what they are, or are not showing in their trailers.
Do you have a single fact to back that up?

Watched this, not sure if staged, but didn't find the racism that was so ironically alluded to by our resident Nazi sympathizer.

Besides being incredibly racist and bigoted it's very obviously staged.

Racist? You're like a neanderthal with a PC.
