Watch_Dogs is all about hacking up devices in the city in order to achieve the objectives you’re going after. Hacking is being described as a shortcut to certain goals to compliment shooting and traveling in the environment, and was developed in conjunction with a security firm in order to give it more authenticity.
“We’re working with Kaspersky Lab, a big security firm,” said senior producer Dominic Guay. “They have really hardcore experts there on hacking. We send them some of our designs and we ask them feedback on it, and it’s interesting to see what gets back. Sometimes they say, ‘Yeah, that’s possible, but change that word,’ or, ‘That’s not the way it works.'”
