Watch Dogs is now a cross-generation project. Along with the Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC versions, it’ll also be coming to the PS4.

The PS4 game may look slightly prettier/polished, and the Wii U release will have the benefit of GamePad functionality. In the end though, Ubisoft will be keeping the experience the same across platforms.

According to Watch Dogs creative director Jonathan Morin:

“…I firmly believe that creating a game experience starts with what you want to do and achieve as a team. It has nothing to do with tools. The tools are there to facilitate certain things. So the same experience is there on the PS3 and other consoles. Players will have the same enjoyment; they will not feel any letdown.”

Disney Interactive has confirmed that the Cars franchise will act as the fourth Play Set for Disney Infinity. The Incredibles, Monsters University and Pirates of the Caribbean Play Sets will also be available at launch.

Disney describes the Cars Play Set as follows:

The Cars Play Set allows gamers to take on the role of Lightning McQueen, Mater, Holley Shiftwell and Francesco Bernoulli and enter the virtual world of Radiator Springs, where they will prepare the town for a big international racing event. In addition to customizing the town, exploring the outskirts of the city and towing all types of vehicles to make way for tourists, players will be able to race through town, on full sized tracks and pull off amazing, gravity defying feats in a no-holds-barred stunt park.

In Toy Box mode, Lightning, Mater, Holley and Francesco are able to interact with all of the previously revealed characters from The Incredibles, Monsters University and Pirates of the Caribbean; and in addition to characters, the Cars Play Set adds driving/racing play mechanics and track pieces to the Toy Box allowing players to create all-new racing challenges, build and customize tracks and much more.

I’m not sure how long this is going to be on sale (no word on the sale at all from WayForward), but you can pick up Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition for but five dollars on the North American Wii U eShop. This price finally got me to jump in and pick up the game, and I bet it’ll convince one or two of you as well. :]
