  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • Your freedoms can only be protected if democracy thrives.

  • The corporate interests are rigging

  • the elections-- your elections.

  • Your favorite social media giant, Invite,

  • knows everything about you, and they're

  • manipulating your feed to tailor your opinions

  • to their interests.

  • They are fooling you into voting for their puppet, Congressman

  • Mark Thruss.

  • Invite-- we have the single most powerful population control

  • tool ever created.

  • Defend democracy.

  • Help us tear down Invite.

  • Lend us your processing power by downloading our app,

  • and together we will expose Congressman Thruss.

  • Join us, we are DEDSEC

  • DOMINIC (VOICEOVER): Hello everyone, I'm

  • Dominic Guay, the senior producer on Watch_Dogs 2,

  • and today I will guide you through this vertical slice

  • of the game.

  • Watch_Dogs 2 is set in the San Francisco

  • Bay, a beautiful area, a cultural beacon,

  • and the birthplace of the tech revolution.

  • From Oakland to Marin County, from the Golden Gate

  • to Silicon Valley, your adventure

  • will take you all across of the Bay Area.

  • You are part of DEDSEC, a hacker group rebelling

  • against an establishment that uses technology

  • to take away people's freedom.

  • You play as Marcus Holloway, a brilliant hacker fighting

  • to take back control from this corrupted establishment.

  • This demo is not scripted, and you

  • are free to do as you please in our open world.

  • Using Marcus's skills, you can hack into anyone

  • within the city and to most electronic devices or any car's

  • computer system.

  • Any of these can be manipulated in multiple ways

  • as you progress in the game and extend Marcus's abilities.

  • In this case, Marcus hacks into this car

  • and controls its steering remotely.

  • [TIRES SQUEALING]

  • You can also hack entire areas of the city to powerful effect.

  • Here we distract all these people

  • by sending messages to their phones.

  • As you explore the Bay Area you can

  • cross paths with other players, never

  • leaving the comfort of your single player experience.

  • As you seamlessly encounter other friendly DEDSEC members,

  • you can communicate with them, and with a single press

  • of a button, join them as a co-op team.

  • But for now, let's continue in solo.

  • [BUZZING]

  • Hey.

  • SITARA: Our numbers aren't going through the roof,

  • but we just promised to blow the lid open on Invite and election

  • fraud.

  • And we'll deliver.

  • Have faith, sister.

  • WRENCH: Sure, if we can find evidence

  • that Invite's manipulating social media to help them.

  • Wrench, where you at, man?

  • WRENCH: Scouting congressman dipshit's apartment

  • from the roof next door.

  • Aww, haw, we fucked up his fundraiser.

  • Almost everyone's gone.

  • Come on, get over here.

  • OK, people this is strictly by the book.

  • Don't paint outside the lines and stay frosty.

  • SITARA: Fuck you.

  • Just get in there and find some rusty nails to crucify Thruss

  • to the social media cross.

  • On my way.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • DOMINIC (VOICEOVER): The game has

  • multiple operations the player can

  • discover and decide to pursue.

  • In the interest of time, let's join Marcus

  • as he meets up with another DEDSEC hacker, Wrench.

  • They are about to infiltrate the politican's penthouse in order

  • to acquire evidence of his plan to rig

  • the elections with the help of a social media giant.

  • Yo, Wrench.

  • Captain Dipshit lives over there.

  • Yo, check it out.

  • You can see the whole city from here.

  • Whole lot of people out there, man.

  • Whole lot of people.

  • Yeah, getting screwed.

  • You don't even feel it.

  • Just numb.

  • It's fucked up.

  • I know it's going to be a hell of a fight turning them back

  • into people.

  • Fucking A, man.

  • OK, dude, you find the evidence and I'll

  • mind our exit strategy.

  • [CHOPPER SPINNING]

  • MARCUS: Hey, is that the congressman?

  • WRENCH: Uh, nope.

  • I do believe that is a helicopter.

  • [CHUCKLES]

  • Fuck you.

  • SITARA: Marcus, the building just went off the grid.

  • We can't get in or see inside.

  • They're up to something.

  • I'll see what.

  • DOMINIC (VOICEOVER): The player is

  • free to approach the mission in any way he wishes-- as a ghost,

  • as an aggressor, or as a trickster who focuses

  • on manipulation and hacking.

  • Here we're using our new quad copter to scout the premises.

  • The drone can also be upgraded with new functionalities.

  • MARCUS: They got armed help in there.

  • Something's definitely up.

  • DOMINIC (VOICEOVER): Here we use network hacking

  • to quickly access a security camera within the apartment.

  • MARCUS: [INAUDIBLE].

  • They're scrubbing the evidence.

  • SITARA: Get us access, Marcus, before it all gets wiped.

  • MARCUS: I'll get you inside the system.

  • Once I do, you use a botnet to brute force your way in

  • and download everything you can.

  • WRENCH: But once you start downloading,

  • they'll know your inside.

  • MARCUS: It wouldn't be a party if they didn't, and I've

  • got a surprise for them.

  • MAN: Where are we on wiping the congressman's cloud?

  • WOMAN: That's done, but there's a team of Invites

  • scrubbing the backups, too.

  • MAN: They're good at this?

  • WOMAN: The best computer forensics team we have.

  • You pay top dollar, you get top talent.

  • MAN: That's what I want to hear.

  • DOMINIC (VOICEOVER): We have to spy on a phone call,

  • take pictures of the cover up, and profile our enemies.

  • MARCUS: Wrench, you ready with my exit strategy?

  • WRENCH: Uh, define "ready."

  • [GEARS MOVING]

  • Yo, Sitara, I'm ready to go in.

  • Play me something fresh.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • DOMINIC (VOICEOVER): The penthouse

  • is approachable from any side and the player has the means

  • to determine his own plan in order

  • to download the proof he needs.

  • This mission can actually be completed without ever setting

  • foot within the penthouse proper,

  • but this time let's play as a ghost using hacking

  • to infiltrate stealthily.

  • SITARA: There's something over there.

  • DOMINIC (VOICEOVER): We distract the guard and then

  • we quickly hack the door lock to access the penthouse.

  • Here we throw a zapper, a tool we can then modify on the fly

  • through hacking.

  • GUARDS: Already done.

  • This isn't our first rodeo.

  • DOMINIC (VOICEOVER): We then set our proximity trigger

  • for a stunning effect and emit a sound to attract the guards.

  • [CHOKING]

  • Again, we access the electronic box for the doors,

  • but this time to lock them to cover our back.

  • We choose to deploy a drone to protect our hacking ability

  • in this well guarded room.

  • We distract the guard by quickly hacking into his phone.

  • Uh, who the hell?

  • DOMINIC (VOICEOVER): We finally managed

  • to reach the target computer.

  • The drone is customized to allow interaction

  • with the computer to set up a wireless transmitter

  • into the network.

  • You're in.

  • Do your thing.

  • DOMINIC (VOICEOVER): While we are downloading evidence

  • of the politician's corruption, the guards
