I haven't even looked at this game. Like many I just assumed it was like a Sleeping Dogs sequel or something. Watching this I'm rather excited. If even half of this is actually dynamic and not scripted out the ass I'll pick it up.
Only thing that worries me a bit is how easy it appears to hack anything. A simple press of a button and you're in any system in the game? I understand it would get boring QUICK if you had to go through a mini-game on every hack but there should be some aspect to hacking beyond 'hold Q'. Maybe I'm missing something and just haven't looked into the game enough.
Then again this is Ubisoft and Assassin's Creed is basically just that. You basically hold or click one button to do everything from fighting to climbing, interacting, sneaking, you name it.
Hacking seems to be a location puzzle, find the nodes, gain direct line of sight to them, hack them. And then you get access to all the connected devices in an limited area. Assuming you get, in one way or another, direct line of sight.
I had to laugh when he said Detroit had business opportunities though... that's not what I think when hearing that name.
