Ubisoft Releases the Watch Dogs 2 Predictive World

Watch-Dogs-2-screenshot-(4)

Ubisoft has partnered with the University of Cambridge Psychometrics Centre and VICE to create an interactive experience called the Predictive World. Inspired by the world of Watch Dogs 2, Predictive World shows how much can be learned about a person based on their digital footprint. People can see how seemingly meaningless statistics like age and gender can have real impacts on things like salary. Predictive World was build on algorithms developed by the University of Cambridge’s Psychometrics Centre with data from 6 million research participants. To go further into the world of big data, Ubisoft sponsored VICE to create a documentary about about big data and its dangers.

Watch Dogs 2 is set in San Francisco where data is funnelled through one company. After being wrongly profiled as a potential criminal, Marcus Holloway decides to follow in the foot steps of Aiden Pearce and take down the data collection program that runs San Francisco. Watch Dogs 2 will release on November 15th on consoles. The PC release will launch on November 29th.

Persona 5’s Morgana Introduced with English Trailer

persona-5-screenshot-020

Atlus USA is continuing with their series of character introduction videos that also serve as English dub samples for the main characters in Persona 5. Earlier this week we saw Ryuji introduced and now the mascot character Morgana, who will be voiced by Cassandra Morris, is given the spotlight with an English trailer alongside an interview video with the voice actor for the character.

Atlus describes Morgana as an anthropomorphic cat-like thing that, despite appearances, absolutely hates being called a cat, and is far more than what she seems. This mysterious creature from another world is a professional thief and serves as a mentor figure to the disaffected youths in the Phantom Thieves. Most importantly, Morgana is the irreplaceable heart and soul of the team.

You can check out that video plus an interview with her voice actress below and as for the game itself, Persona 5 is set to be released in North America and Europe on February 14th for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.
