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.

Earlier today we shared a few tweets from Alex Ward. A message published the former Criterion co-founder suggested that he has no interest in supporting Wii U having just created his new company, Three Fields Entertainment.

Additional notes located on Ward’s Twitter account go into detail about the trouble launching Need for Speed: Most Wanted U back when he was with EA. As an example, Ward mentioned that the team working on the game flew to Nintendo “to personally demo a bid” in order to gain marketing support. “There was none,” he said. There were other issues as well, such as EA’s decision not to make Wanted U available in Europe at retail initially.

You’ll find all of the new relevant tweets above.

Alex Ward, one of the co-founders of Criterion, left the studio earlier this year. And just this week, Ward announced that he formed a new company known as “Three Fields Entertainment”.

Three Field’s goal, according to Ward, is to “make games for all platforms where we can self-publish.” One gamer mentioned on Twitter that the team should consider supporting Wii U and 3DS – which would make sense given Nintendo’s extremely open nature towards indie content. However, Ward didn’t seem too interested in doing so.

Check out the exchange between the two above.
