12 Most Hotly Anticipated Original Gaming Properties Of 2014

4. Watch Dogs

Watch Dogs probably doesn't need much more written about it to generate interest, considering anyone and everyone interested in the title were beyond devastated when Ubisoft had announced that it would not be launching alongside the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. It had already impressed gamers so much, that it was already the original must-have title of the next generation. Ubisoft is now targeting a Spring release window, and hopefully the date is stuck to as the interest in the game hasn't waned. It's a game with advanced hacking as its central theme and core gameplay mechanic, along with being set in Chicago. Similar to both the Assassin's Creed franchise and Far Cry 3, Watch Dogs will most likely heavily draw upon what has worked in regards to creating an open world brimming with side content and famous landmarks to explore. It also will be very interesting to see how far the connections between Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed go, as multiple references were dropped in the Abstergo segments of Assassin's Creed 4.
