The initial demonstration showed a game trying to do provocative and original things with the popular open-world genre. For months, fans speculated about how the game would play and whether or not it would dig deep into the nation’s anxieties about surveillance.

Also, here’s a quick car chase pulled from our time with Watch Dogs. Give it a watch!
