Probably the most stylish parkour we’ve gotten in gaming, but sadly San Francisco doesn’t have enough consistent parkour opportunities. Wish they built this game with parkouring across buildings in mind.
@@mr.funkyright I wouldn't say "much" just a bit more coherent, the thing is WD2 got some real serious issue with tonal disonance between story and gameplay. Where the prontagonist being all peaceful like pacifist during story cutscene yet the mission almost always calls for mayhem and killing spree
@mr.funkyright Most people didn't stick around for the end of WD2 due to superficial reasons. I agree with you though. WD1 is just a bunch of cliches and WD2 is the superior story with better characterization and more originality across the board.
I used to play this game to relieve stress and escape by helping people online do missions, this game has a close place to my heart with the many longs nights and relaxing times playing as a late teen to earlier adulthood, it will forever be my favorite game of all time.
This parkour system really should be expanded upon with the focus on parkour being much higher. Maybe with similar climbing to the first 4 Assassin's Creed games, but more realistic perhaps, or it could go with the Mirror's Edge route. Manual jumps would be great. Woah I just imagined AC Unity in a Mirror's edge like world. Amazing.
The best watch dogs, man you could get so creative in this game with the parkour and combat, I remember close to the end of the game when you get to the penthouse there's a path you can take that makes your character do cinematic parkour moves in between combat. Made the experience worth it unlike legion
the parkour mechanics is one of my favorite thing about this game especially when youre running away from the police. feels like actual chase. its just a shame that the police mechanic itself is a bit crappy. even the running feels very stiff
Watch Dogs 2 is a cool game a well done one I remember that it was the only game that competed against GTA V in its time and it beat it in some technical and graphic things. The truth is, I was quite surprised of how engaging, and fun the game is after playing the first one. Not to mention San Francisco looks beautifull
watch dogs 2 did come out after gta v, and they didn't even run on the same hardware. i love watch dogs but apples to apples, gta v is far more impressive for what it achieved at the time
@@hi_its_jerry agreed GTA V was also really hyped up, and the many fans waiting for it, I was amazed by the graphics it was so wild during that time but watch dogs 2 has a more brighter feeling if you know what I mean
One of the worst open world game I ever played. Besides the parkour being quite scripted, it has awfully simplistic gameplay at every level and the open world is the blandest ever shat by a video game company. Another dog poop from Ubicrap, so fitting. Let's remember they once did the Sands of Time trilogy. Also it still lokks like ass next to GTA V even if it is a far newer game.
It still ends up being boring to play, you cant take that much control away from the player and make what could be a fun traversal system simply mean holding a button. Sleeping Dogs did add a timing mechanic that helped the player feel more enganged. The most advanced system would be one like Mirrors Edge but that would require different level design and the whole experience would be something entirely different. I think simply requiring a lot more input and at the right times like in Sleeping Dogs would do wonders for the system already in place here.
While I agree that this system isn't great for the same reasons you stated, I don't think Sleeping Dogs is anything special in that regard. The best third person game parkour system, to me, is still Assassin's Creed Unity. That game's flaw with the system was not actually teaching the players about the actual depth it could have. In general, however, I'd give Dying Light 2 the reward for best parkour system in a game.
I can’t stress enough how this is one of the best games i ever played ❤️ I feel it was so underappreciated. The gameplay mechanics, the story, the gameplay 🙌🏽 I would 100% play it again if it is 4K60FPS on con
@@123Juniiorr you won’t notice that it’s slower since you’re looking at how dope that backflip looked. The only people that would actually notice/care about parkour slowing down movement would be speedrunners, and that can easily be solved anyway by making parkour an option you can turn off in settings.
This is the parkour that feels like real life the most in terms of how true to life the moves are. It's not the most fluid tho. Judging by what I saw in this video I'd say Ubisoft made some updates to it because it looks less buggy than when the game released
It’s all animations and good control. Allowing me to manually press a button to jump across a ledge and then the animation looking beautiful does wonders.
From the beginning until the end of my watch dogs 2 game i have never seen parkour animation like that except for the backflip when you jump from height.
Just imagining the countless other universes where this parkour system was iterated on for Watch_Dogs Legion and then London Map was made with parkour and verticality in mind.
0:55 i was waiting for a slur word to come out of the driver...so i guess that this is an accurate representation of an American city! jokes aside. man alive that is a beautiful and vivid scene on that pier. wonderful!
I played this game and finished it like multiple times the hand to hand fighting/takedowns and sneaking around and everything was fun paired with the parkour.
I hope not, assassin's creed parkour (any assassin's creed) is much better than watch dogs 2, if you think i'm wrong go play unity which so far has the best parkour in assasins creed
Making Police actually chase you on foot instead of shooting while taking cover from a distance and slowly walking toward you sounds like a great idea for a free roam game
If assassin’s creed used this engine and got rid of the flips, replaced them with fluid ledge hopping they’d have the perfect feeling assassin’s creed game since unity.
Maybe Ubisoft is out of idea to make Watch Dogs sequel, Legions is in the future what about make a prequel instead? like Aiden Pearce's early career? or the untold stories of Jackson or Wrench before we see them appear in Wd Legion? And back in the day when E3 released WD 1, actually i thought it will feature things such as: stealing phone,tablet,laptop,or buying a hacking device with wide range of selections like tablet,laptop,smartwatch and each devices have their own advantages like faster hacking,further hacking range,etc.also the devices can be broken too so you must buy a new one or feel free to rush into enemy territories with using guns and baddas batman voice😊
It looks fancy but mechanically is just as limited as GTA climbing. In fact with all these fancy animations I can't get on top of thin object and always "animate" over them. And its not like I can bounce of any wall, or do any freestyle parkour like mirrors edge

watch dogs 2's OST is seriously underrated. its literally one of the best video game OSTs i have ever heard

I’m almost finished my first play of watchdogs 1 atm and it’s awesome. I’ve got 2 sat on the shelf to play next.
Watch dogs was ahead of its time fr
How was legion not as good as it predecessor with this
from graphical yea i agree but i played legion and some spots are good for free running
they don't even have an NPC with parkour ability

Exactly! This game was made by Ubisoft in 2016! Literally Origins, Odyssey & Valhalla are made after this game but has worse parkour.

Hands down my favorite part of the game (and why watch dogs 2 is probably my favorite open world game)
all open world games must have a mandatory parkour system even if badly made
there must be one

this type of parkour really matches marcus
I like when he jumps it doesn’t feel like he launches himself vertically 10 ft in the air like most games
Yeah, I notice that this games parkour is very realistic compared to most
We really need a daredevil game with a neatly implemented use of his billy clubs with parkours like this 👌🏿
I played this game and finished it like multiple times the hand to hand fighting/takedowns and sneaking around and everything was fun paired with the parkour.
I love Watch Dogs 2. I gotta play it again.
This is a lot better then I thought it would be :)
It like Assassin's Creed but the exaggerated swagger parkour into it.
WD2 is the best in the saga, i never get tired of it
I wish they had this kind of move set on Assassin's Creed franchise
I played hours of this game and somehow never noticed the parkour animation variety.
I hope the next assassin's creed would have parkour like this

@@mikewasowski6964 I think it does.
Sleeping Dogs: “They stole my whole flow”!!!
feels like insomniacs spiderman parkour
I wish there was an option to choose what parkour move you want to do.
This is such a good game, I need to replay it
closest we will ever get to a third person parkour game
Cool cool. Wish it was a tad bit faster and covered a bit more ground tho
evading police while parkouring rooftops is my favorite “im bored” watch dogs activity
Making Police actually chase you on foot instead of shooting while taking cover from a distance and slowly walking toward you sounds like a great idea for a free roam game
Man parkour is amazing. I can take longer jumping over things I can run around..
My only issue of this game in a console platform, like PS4, is that i'd prefer to use R2 as a sprint button rather than L3 button.
Yeah the controls were much better in watch dogs 1
most underrated game of all time
my fav watch dogs
i really wish they make these crispy animations for assassin's creed games
they really dropped the ball on legions
Watch Dogs is the closest thing we have to a modern day Assassin’s Creed game, the fact that it is set in the same universe as AC
Parkour looks better than in the new assassin
If assassin’s creed used this engine and got rid of the flips, replaced them with fluid ledge hopping they’d have the perfect feeling assassin’s creed game since unity.
Wish part 3 was like this
1:20 😂 what’s happening? Lololol
They should add more rework in bay area retexture project
The camera shake makes it more immersive
The office:PARKOUR PARKOUR PARKOUR
i read the title as watching 2 dogs doing parkour
I hope the Wolverine game has this kind of movement since he can’t really cover any ground from anything other than a lunge
Watch dogs 1 parkour was also pretty good for it's time at least
Very amazing, much parkour.
I want Spider Man 2 and GTA 6 to have a parkour system like this, it needs it for a open world game
Rockstar can't do that 😂😂
@orangegamers4513 Let a man dream
wheres the theme songs!!!!
btw this looks goooddddddd
imo, Spiderman & spiderman miles morales has impressive parkour system as well.
with crocs on, thats amazing

I'm making a video about a Daredevil game, would you mind if I use some of this footage? I'll fully credit you :)
i want in new watch dogs parkour like in assassins creed
Feels like Spider-Man without powers
This better than the new assain creed games parkour
u can tell they put alot into wd2 too just from the parkour alone
I loved this game and watch dogs 1, especially the game mode where you could hack ppl an u gotta find them
When dev understand what the gamer wants to do
Aint no volatiles catchin this dude
This is because dying light, watch dogs and mirrors edge are my favorite games.
looks fun as hell
