In the latest Watch Dogs footage, Ubisoft plastered the URL “chicago-ctos.com” on signs, posters, and other objects in the open-world. This appears to be an actual website. Access it here.

Upon visiting the page, you’ll notice that it says DedSec has seized the site. Graffiti of the DedSec group is shown through graffiti in the latest Watch Dogs video.

The page also includes the quote “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes”. In Latin, this translates to “Who will guard the guards themselves?” or “Who watches the watchmen?”.

Another day, another Kickstarter for a Wii U eShop project.

Maestro Games has launched a new campaign for Cosmic Highway, a new title set to hit Nintendo’s digital store in late spring. The indie dev hopes to raise funds to finish the game’s final 15 levels and overall content for Wii U.

The Kickstarter will end on March 15. Maestro hopes to raise a total of $6,000.

You can find more information about Cosmic Highway here.

Thanks to Tex for the tip.

Rumor has it that Rayman creator Michel Ancel could be leaving Ubisoft.

Long story short, Ancel would take a few employees with him – maybe five or six staffers – and start up a new project, perhaps with another company. This would provide Ancel with the opportunity to be more creative.

Ubisoft apparently has some idea that Ancel could be heading down a new path. Even if this does happen, the publisher could in some form.

Gamekult, the source of the speculation, also reports that one reason that Rayman Legends went multiplatform is because Nintendo and Ubisoft were unable to reach an agreement when it came to distributing and marketing of the game.

Ubisoft and Ancel are both denying all rumors for now.

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.”

Maestro Interactive is bringing three titles to the Wii U eShop. One of these is Cosmic Highway.

A first screenshot was released by Maestro – posted below – but be aware that it comes from an early prototype:

The character featured in the shot is known as the “Inventor”. In Cosmic Highway, the Inventor will be able to use a smokescreen ability to cloud up his opponents’ view.
