Watch Dogs lead game designer Danny Belanger chatted about the game’s drop-in multiplayer feature during a live-stream event held a couple of days ago.

Belanger confirmed that the functionality can be turned off entirely, if players choose. There’s also a system in place to ensure that users are never overwhelmed by other Watch Dogs owners.

Belanger stated:

“All the online activities are just part of the menu. They’re a choice. But if someone is not into that …. they can totally turn it off.”

“There’s also something important called the shield. If someone comes into your game, they can’t come in right after so you can’t be spammed in that way — unless you become aggressive and you start going into other people’s games. Then you really become available. But it’s just a player choice in the end.”

Belanger also mentioned that Watch Dogs’ multiplayer emphasizes a “hide-n-seek” nature involving hacking and getting hacked.

Over on the Capcom-Unity boards, Capcom USA community manager Brett Elston acknowledged the interest fans have in seeing a new Mega Man collection.

Responding to a fan on the forum, Elston said:

Nothing to announce or tease at the moment, but I’ve definitely taken note of – and passed along – the desire for a modern collection. Those 2004 / 2006 discs are getting pretty old at this point and I’d love to get those games out to a new audience – plus give people like us an excuse to play them yet again.

Capcom hasn’t done anything major with Mega Man in quite some time. That applies to collections as well. Capcom seems to be hesitant to put out a new Mega Man game on consoles, but how about a new product that bundles a few of the series’ previous entries together?

You may remember that High Impact Games was working on a new Crash Team Racing for Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360 a few years back. Activision cancelled the project, and the game’s development was halted. We originally saw screenshots from the title, but now we have some footage as well.
