Wanted system in Watch Dogs 2 is much more realistic than GTA V.
I agree the police chatter is much more realistic in wd2 than in gta
Ubisoft really focused on attention to detail and realism for the Watch Dogs series.
@@hueyfreemanhisanimatedfrie925 I really hope they don't downgrade this stuff in Watch Dogs Legion... GTA 5 sadly downgraded way too much to call it a "better" version of GTA 4.
Tobias Skorupa gta v was an ok game but, Gta IV or gta sa was my all time favorite
@@tobiasskorupa1649 gta v police AI is actually better than 4s when you're in a shoot out, but 4s is better when they're arresting for small things
I remember randomly placing hits on downtown SF at watch dogs 2 , I swear the god and this is real , when the gangs fought each other , 3 SWAT trucks came in after they fought off the cops for a decent while , they fuckin ran over anything , I remember seeing the gangsters getting rekt by the SWAT , so I placed more hits.
*after that I turned downtown SF into a mini syria*
just a normal day in 'murica
Lol
My friend did the same made 20 units arrive he killed a lot of people at the beach in wd2 and refused to leave until all the officers are down
I always loved watching the shootouts and seeing SWAT show up, this game definitely has one of my favorite police systems
Poggers
Holy crap, the security arrest at 12:16 looks SO REALISTIC. The workers backing their colleague up to the pushing around, then the arrest.
While it's not perfect, I think Watch Dogs 2 might be one of the better, if not currently best modern-era wanted system in an open world game right now. If there's something better, I'd love to see it. Rockstar could learn a lot using it as a basis, not just for law enforcement, but for NPC interactivity as well.
LSPDFR for GTA V is the best currently, though its just a series of mods. But in terms of original game content, I agree.
You must of not played red dead redemption 2 I think it’s wanted system is better than watch dogs 2
@@notwop9555 It's not bad, it's just the police are still way too omniscient, which is a big problem with Rockstar's other law systems in GTA for example.
Omniscience in the setting of the game is also bad because it takes place in an older time period, but despite that, they can easily lock onto your location and seemingly know a lot of the time exactly where you are.
Mafia and Mafia 2
You should look at mafia definitive edition, while for some reason they removed the feature of you being able to stop people calling the police, a feature from mafia 3, they have a realistic policing system. You could also look at mafia 2 definitive edition policing, both of these games are modern, with the original mafia 2 being from 2010 and mafia definitive edition being from 2020.
cops in GTA V have the "shoot now ask questions never" mentality
they also magically respond to unseen crimes like shooting someone in the top of mount chiliad they also arrive one second
Just like real life American police. LSPD is actually the most realistic police force 😂
@@rayh6118 that is if you're on the road
@@rayh6118 I can go thru a whole clip or even get into a gang fight in GTA 4 and not get the cops on me. GTA5 however. I run over one person and literally right away I hear Civilians report. GTFO. GTA6 will prob have the same system as RDR2. But I liked GTA4 cause it was more chill. You had fun
you say hi to an officer,and you spend a night in jail,no matter what character you're playing as
ah finally, a game where the player and npcs are treated equally
Yes
I hate it when the player has more punishment than the NPCs.
True
Gta 4 lol
GTA 4 and Mafia 2 too
The beginning of every multiplayer match 14:56
Lol
Team deathmatch be like
that how real watch dogs 2 is
The police only react to you driving a police car that was previously occupied by another officer. If you drive a police car that was parked inside the police station parking lots, then the police will not react to it. (there is a non-hostile zone in the downtown police station, right next to the car depot,). it is also worth mentioning that the police cannot arrest members of the FBI faction.
the police in Watch_Dogs are really unique for this generation of consoles. they behave a lot more realistically than the police in GTA. my one question is why do the police Cavales and Tali(plural for Talos) have exclusive high-powered I6 packages?
Sooo tru
It's a reference to the Ford Explorers and Taurus patrol cars the SFPD uses IRL. Most North American police cars have exclusive engine packages built straight from the manufacture itself.
I'm a little disappointed that they didn't include some classic police cars in WD2 as I have seen the SFPD roll around in some very dated cars still in active duty (unless the occupants were larping as modern SFPD officers which would be illegal). Think early 90's Ford Mustangs, and Chevy Suburbans. Obviously not a common sight but interesting to see if one manages to drive by.
@@PeninsulaCity2024 well it would've been really nice to see the Polar or Vessel as police cars.
@@hueyfreemanhisanimatedfrie925
Hell, just all of the cars that didn't carry over from Watch Dogs. I was looking forward to an SF/OPD Solaris. Also, a (fictional) Silicon Valley Police Department faction for that area. Ubisoft did sorta make an emblem for it though combined with the fire department.
@A real bisexual petrol-head
I suppose I should have used the word "vintage" instead. Point is, SFPD has some really old patrol cars still in active duty. Though thanks to virus, I haven't been in The City in awhile despite being just across the bay so I don't know if they still have them.
Things I noticed that weren't pointed out in the video:
1) Cops won't react to you taking a parked police vehicle from a police station (it won't be marked red in net hack and therefore, isn't counted as owned by the PD). They will still react to you being in a restricted area depending on the station or location. The SF Transbay Terminal and the Oakland PD station near the seafood resturant in the port are the best places to reliably get a police car with no problems; It's basically yours.
2) Patroling Coast Guard boats may ignore you for some reason while on land but will react if an officer in a car/on foot notices you commiting a crime or you commit a crime on a boat.
3) OPD SWAT is seemingly under funded as their enforcers (riot cops) are never seen using U100 machine guns or AA-12 shotguns. They are still deadly but can be more easily overwhelmed, especially by criminal enforcers.
4) In car chases, SFPD will still set up roadblocks in Oakland despite OPD having juristiction in the East Bay. Technically in the state of CA, all agencies can work together regardless of location but usually if the incident spills into multiple juristictions or if assistance was requested. So a chase starting in Oakland wouldn't automatically involve SF authorites unless it ends up in SF and back. Something that had actually happend in a real car chase earlier in the year (2020) although with more cities involved and SFPD dipping out once it crossed the Bay Bridge - twice.
5) It is possible to not gain a wanted level if a cop hits your car in the back or while stationary and if the player has not hit the gas or brake during the collision. They may still comment on it though.
Seen only once their K9 barking and jumping on enemy's car door. Very rare scene because criminals just drive out of the area after they're dealt with you or the cops.
aggro dogs will do it to you too or jump at the wall/item you climbed up to avoid them, sometimes they may also lose sight of you that way as i climbed a wall and the dog was jumping at it and i walked around and came back and the dog hadnt noticed me and was still jumping at the wall
14:53 this looks like a movie where they would push when the enemy is reloading or distracted by something!
WD2 has some of the best police AI outside of Mafia 2. i only wish police could tackle you like they do npcs when you run instead of going into kill mode. if only cops reacted to dead npcs this could be the best yet. hopefully Legion has worked on the police ai.
Albion is more like the tyrannical sort of police so I wouldn't be suprised if it was shoot on sight.
@@sodium7127 yeah i would think the police would be bad in that games but i dont think i would call them police.
@@sodium7127 they do arrest you they also arrest NPCs
@@rayh6118
Yep I've had some of my operatives arrested actually. Great game isn't it? xD
@@sodium7127 not really the story seems repetitive a lil bit they also removed a lot of fun stuff like phones and the ability to hide in cars and now there is no car on demand or 3D printing guns so to get lethal weapons you have to search for spies or cops which rarely spawns there is no ability to hack traffic lights or frame other pedestrian there is no witness system like the first 2 because they are albion drones everywhere i'am just waiting for the aiden pierce single played DLC included in the season pass
The most annoying thing about the police chase is that I always wonder why Dedsec doesn't steal SWAT enforcers' bulletproof uniforms first before doing any tasks! And I hate it so much that even if you get off the car and hide after the police lose sight, they will stop and search you right where you are. Cheating is also seen in Need for Speed games: when you drive at 250mph, the police can suddenly catch you at 300mph. Anyways, it's just a video game!
That's because you shouldnt kill anyone also super turbo elite swat armor take something around 60 bullets its like god mode
if dedsec were murdering swat and stealing their uniforms the fbi and dhs would probably start a manhunt
the reason that doesn't happen with marcus is because canonically you only use the stun gun and lethal yo-yo
Interesting thing to note, Enforcers by the SFPD use the U100 and the AA12 like shotgun while the OPD ones only use the SG90 shotgun.
Also the cop spawns are different between the cities. Foot cops mainly are a big difference between the two.
SGR-12 not SG90
This changed my perspective completely on WD 2
One i saw K-9 tried to enter in criminal's vehicle. It wasn't clear to me because vehicle was moving but the dog was stomping & barking on their right door.
Quality content
This educated me better than my entire school system
11:15 It took 1 second for the backup to arrive. Lol
well in this game cops do patrol around the city unlike wd1
@@rayh6118 actually in WD1 you could see a few patrol cars marked with the red&blue marker but it is impressively rare to find.
I am amazed by the police in this game i really like them because they are very realistic and they their not assholes like in gta 5!
Ubisoft nailed the best npc behavior + animation 👏
Funny thing. In my gameplay one Umeni Zulu actually resisted arrest, killed one of the arresting cops and the second cop got her. It was surprising but it somehow happened.
I think its called Umeni Corps Great Vid👍
Umeni Security Corps.
Or
Umeni-Zulu
@@Lawson290 there is a reason why as well, the leader of said corporation as far as I know is from Czech Republic and umeni means art or art of
Yes
Umeni Zulu security corps and I think they went bankrupt because of their failure to protect the Silicon Valley Titans I think in watch dogs legion Albion is their successor
@@dauphongii Word umeni correctly written umění means art, so the company name in full english is Art of Zulu security corps.
I Love this in wd2. Played cyberpunk with its drones everywhere and Police start Shooting No Matter what i am doing . Played GTA with getting more and Mode Stars in Seconds and be chased with No Mercy.
Returned to watchdogs 2 and i was surprised seeing that the Police ist quite realistic .i Tried to Steal a Car and Somebody was reporting that Crime. I went Off a Bit and Nobody was following me. The Police arrived at the place where the Crime was Reported. They Had No clue that i was the criminal and Just stood around and looked what Happend. I stayed behind , waiting. Suddendly a civilian start insulting the Police , a Woman , she got arrested and was brought to the Police Car .fascinating. later you can interfere and summon more Cops or Gang members , Watch Them Fight watch Other . Great . In GTA i Loved the ability to call 911 . Was nice too . Miss this.
I Like in wd2 best that you can easily hide and that there are no drones . Npcs dont Always know where you are . This is great .
Thats why wd1 and wd2 are more realistic than Legion. I hate that this left driving scenario in Legion and many Cars have No Driver , Kind of Automatic . Everywhere drones . Police is Not realistic too.
I’m glad I watched this because I couldn’t tell what changed when i got to level 5
For the appearance of the actual SWAT models in one side mission you have to SWAT a gamer and the SWAT units on scene are actually realistic looking but the models that you encounter in the game are rather not
[1:23] Also, SWAT is using poor guns in Oakland. But you can see, they are using heavy weapons in San Fransisco. Like Bratva's elites.
Imagine if they made a police mode where you could play as an actual officer of the law... and then be able to do certain tasks like patrolling around the gang neighbourhoods or taking part in car accidents... oh, and also, a backup feature!
Nice and informative, subbed
18:00 But that's how it makes police chases more fun. When cops cant keep up with a lambo then its boring Zzz
Still funny when I am the hunter in a bounty hunt, i am driving a performance car with turbo boost and an armored truck just passes me by and cuts in.
I agree. Fun is more important than realism in some cases
The fact that the cop ai knows when the suspect has left there vehicle is awesome!
I noticed that if u steal a cop car or SWAT van from the police station they won't come after u
Cuz its undamaged
There is rare cases where Unemi Corps faction based NPC's will resist an Arrest. This will only apply to the NPC that resisted it and the other Corps won't interact in that fight nether the Cops interact with the other Corps members. This can be triggered if a random NPC or gangmember nearby commits a crime, most likley shooting as the officers arrest the Unemi Corps member.
You should also do a Police Behavior Analysis on;
-The First Watch Dogs game
-Sleeping Dogs
I just wish this game had a better physics engine. Whenever NPCs interact and it becomes physical, you can see them shifting into a spot in order for the animation to play, no dynamic physics.
Similarly, when cops chase an NPC, cops can't just jump and catch that person. The NPC always stops first, then the catching animation by the cop plays. I wish Ubisoft paid more attention to dynamic physics.
Other than that, the world of WD2 is a masterclass for developers on how to create a living-breathing world.
good content bro!
17:29 swat enforcers
“They rarely tase each other”
Talk about that being rare i got them to do that 5 times in one hour just by holding up the camera to them like the officer poses another gets mad the one who poses pushes that guy who got mad and then it escalates
I came across a glitch where I was getting chased on a heat level 4,the helicopter didn't have the sniper despite me being HL4
17:21
Yes this happens to me somehow.
Apparently if you get close enough they will start shooting you again.
Getting the gangs and cops to fight was fun but as you said they don't survive that long gotta have technique ig lol
Can u do one for the first watch dogs
yo this is a nice well made video!! keep it up.. im playing this game and hate the cops... i didnt know you could do this at 9:11 (911 what a coincidence)
If they add more elements like gta and details and good story Ubisoft can make insane games.
Think you can do Watch Dogs Legion Albion/Police Analysis?
7:57 rip doggo
i know this would be a long video and take a while for you to do but
could you do Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005)?
I honestly enjoyed WD1 more because of the darker atmosphere. And they removed some amazing mechanics from WD2. Like the thing where you can rescue people from the car.
Wd2 is definitely better
Does anyone know where the npc goes when they’re arrested?
I guessing to the police station, but if you actually followed them they would just keep driving forever or despawn.
you forgot one thing its when somewon is calling the police and you rip there phone and throwes it into the ground if the police sees that you get arrested.
Actually I have seen umeni and police fight each other but it only happened twice both happened at the new dawn temple idk maybe because of the gang I called which I think a cop hit a umeni in cross fire or vice versa and they shot eachother because of that
Anyone else going to get Watchdogs Legion? I lived in London for four years so to see a alternate universe version will be great!
Sort of a letdown, you probably have it already but if you haven't, just stick with 2
its funny how some people say this game is bad when they praise cb2077 which has none of these details ...
In San Francisco, it was set in 2016-present, however the game is still a legend.
6:04 LMFAO
I heard that hong kong guys with voice 6:33 "watch dog 2"
I just played called a cop on an umeni they resisted and shot down the swat members, explanation pls?
16:00 So, in watchdogs verse summery execution of suspect by police is legal under certain circumstance.
That's pretty dark Ubisoft, even if its safeguard for AI behavior.
6:11 I feel like it’s actually the opposite, since when a gang member murders a cop the heat level goes up much faster then that of gangs, and if there is multiple gang members, there’ll be an indefinite amount of police officers arriving.
I have this game and the police is 1000 times better than gta 5 cops
@@jurbagarga1410 i also agree
what shotgun do u use
When I got the game I developed the police arrest thing and whenever those cops die backup doesn’t come automatically I realised that my game wasn’t updated now since I did it had been hell for cops if there is too many cops and gang members car blow up everywhere and I die
*The weird stuff is you can buy police outfit but you do can drive police car or not*
4:53 “who the fuck are you” Lmao they are funny. He obviously a cop and he be like “ who are you?” LOL
Now do a similar video on Cyberpunk 😂😂😂 (I'm still sitting here in disbelief.)
4:03 niko Bellic gets arrested he sounds like niko! :D
well they are both soviet so the accent make sense
@@rayh6118 slavic*
Can you make a Watch Dogs Legion Police bahavior analytics video?
Fun Fact: If you pay close attention to their details, You can see the officers have small body cams on their right shoulder.
Police system and interactions with AI are the best part of WD2. I love to create clashes between different gangs, police that can last almost endlessly. It makes world feel more alive and create illusion that it doesn't work only around player.
It's a pity we won't see these systems developed further in WD. I think they should choose best parts of first two games and implement them into third one(maybe even both protagonists). But they decided to make WD Sims that looks and feels much worse that the first WD in some areas.
If it's possible to speak during the video, then I think it would add so much value and quality to them.
Qual o nome desse jogo
Police lose when gang call reinforcements, 9:19 didn’t think could hide behind vehicle to lose Sfpd this helped 😁
I wanna ask two questions about the mechanics first of all why do regular police officers have grenades on them? And second of there Radio chatters are questionable too I noticed that they talk sometimes nonsense like they have visual contact on player but sometimes they say they lost eyes on suspect eventhough he is still in a active pursuit involved
Amazing video Keep up the great work please 👍
What I don't in any video games like these if you get arrested it's not implicated in the game then you would ask yourself why I should waste 30 minutes for a chase eventhough you can let yourself getting arrested and continue where I stopped
In Watch Dogs 2 at 5 Boxes there are unlimited cars coming after you I had several incidents where over 12 police trucks came after me and it was too much for my pc it said bye have good day
1. I found it unrealistic if Ubisoft wanted to base the police department after the SFPD but, eh, whatever floats the boat. :P
2. Quotes are always confusing in some games, true.
@@Thekillergreece
I also love the fact the dogs have no problem killing (biting) on Jugernauts at all
What I also wanna add too is the possibility of the police to survive a shootout even a small one is I would say under 15% they get killed very quickly unlike the predecessor where two cops where able to take out a whole gang where are over 20 guys present plus with heavy weaponry
I HOPE YOU DONT GET BORED ON ME IF SO I AM VERY SORRY
Couple days ago when i was playing, the police officers, 2 of them where taking cover of a gang member that was takimg cover in the opposite side of the care, you already know how that finished, one of them threw a grande and the 3 of them died because of the car explosion
you probably lost one of the units that were chasing you
if one unit loses you they'll radio it in even if others can still see
Please could you do a police behaviour analysis for Watch_Dogs 1? Great video keep it up man! :)
That will be a problem. WD1 is unoptimized and I keep lagging/stuttering at random times which makes recording difficult and annoying which is why I made only WD2. Sorry. :/
You can make chaos with one npc 2 coops
I love getting 2 stars and driving around the hood chilling in dedsec car. At most there were 20 gang members. The chaos is satisfying
Hi I'm downloading watch dogs 2 and I need to know how the police act I hope there not like gta 5 cops :(
Watch the video. :D
@@Thekillergreece also if you are seen carrying a concealable firearm such as a glock or uzi the police dont react but if you are carrying an assault rifle or any other larger firearm you will be arrested immediately. It's a nice realistic detail when you consider real gun laws in the United states.
@@jr5993 They will not react to small firearms because your character is "technically" conceals them from the police sight even though its obvious (likely developer oversight). However, if you run with the small firearm in hand, they will react. Nothing to do with gun laws. :P
@@Thekillergreece I'll test it again then. Because whenever I've went past them with a handgun they've never bat an eyelid unless they are in combat with a gang.

one time where i framed umeni security enforcer he just shot the cop and ran off
good vid
I hope you well do legion and Cypherpunk 2077
Do Watch Dogs police behavior analysis
I used called police for some missions.It's very nice.
I always arrested people who got aggressive towards police who were arresting someone else
An actual good wanted system
Better police AI then cyberpunk thats for sure
I liked to Help the Cops by disrupting the Gang Members Headsets so they couldn't shoot.
,,shooting" from a window is named ,,Drive-By"
What pass is they for the police and fire
Some vehicle patrol officers (nearly 2) carry Goblins. They're usually spawns at 3 heat level. But if you're in building or unreachable area, game spawns foot cops and they're always armed with Goblins. Best example for this situation, getting wanted level at Alcatraz. Same thing happens on Umeni-Zulu officers. Vehicle officers always armed with shotgun and micro smgs, except elites and enforcers. But again, if you're in building or unreachable area they'll respond with Goblins.
.....I blocked the whole golden gates bridge and there was this guy who shot me but then the police got him and then I saved him and the civilians were freaking out and gathering somewhere
It's so much fun causing wars between the police and gangs in this game, it's so realistic
They should deploy the national guard when it’s 5 stars ngl
Now compare it to Cyberpunk 2077 police system.
lol that will be a massacre but worth watching
wd2 was a really fun game
I like The Wanted system in this game more than gta
The fact that you can start with wars with 0 mods make this game a 10/10 for me as a console player.
Fellow console enjoyer xqcl
CDPR could have learned a lot from this.
Do more
This game is so realistic. This is awesome.
