Watch Dogs

Ubisoft has revealed that they began crafting
the early stages of their newest IP, Watch Dogs, as far back as 2009.

The snippet of information was revealed by the
game's senior producer Dominic Guay in a new
interview with Turkish site Merlin'In Kazani.
Guay was fending off comments about the
game being inspired by the popular TV show
"Person of Interest", which first aired in 2011.

"Actually we were many years into
development when we heard of that show
[Person of Interest] for the first time," said
Guay. "Making a new IP like WATCH_DOGS is a
long process and we started to craft our vision
in early 2009."
