During the earlier days of its development, Watch_Dogs possessed a different title.

At the Eurogamer Expo, Ubisoft Montreal creative director Jonathan Morin confirmed the game’s original title: “Nexus”. A logo had been created for the name, which is present in the final version.

Morin said:

“It’s been a really long time for me and quite a few other people who worked on Watch Dogs since the beginning. It’s almost a generation so it’s unbelievably long. And when you’re doing a project for so long there’s a lot of different layers that get created. For example when we started the project we were called Nexus. We built a logo for it inspired by a logo that means connectivity and in the middle we created a little gap to emphasize the hacking part, exploiting the connectivity.”

“So as you can see we didn’t really deviate that much in five years from that direction. As the game evolved as the game that you know today known as Watch Dogs a lot of stuff happened and this logo ended up here. We kept it and put it into Aiden’s mask to signify what he’s using as a signature gameplay tool. There’s a lot of stuff like that in Watch Dogs, a lot of things that we built early on and decided to keep for later.

Depending on the reaction to Watch_Dogs, Ubisoft’s new IP “could” alternate with Assassin’s Creed on a yearly basis.

VideoGamer asked creative director Jonathan Morin about the chances of the two franchises switching off each year. Morin was a bit hesitant to say anything either way, but left the door open to the possibility.

He said:

“Could be. I don’t know. Right now I’m focussing on Watch Dogs The Game, and we’ll see when it comes out and people can scream their reaction and afterwards we’ll see what happens. There’s no point in being hasty about those things afterwards. Let’s just wait and see and not be cocky about it.”

Assassin’s Creed producer Martin Schelling and lead game designer Jean-Sebastien Decant have spoke a little about the Wii U visuals found in Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.

The two told ExpansiveDLC that the game is somewhere between current-gen and next-gen versions. It’s also been confirmed that the game’s companion app will be compatible with the Wii U release.

“It will be I think, in between the current gen and next gen consoles. We could have had some of the tools from the companion on the second screen, but because the companion app will be available with Wii U too we didn’t include them.”
