How it's pulled off and how much emphasis the game puts on it. Have you read the article/s I linked earlier?
I did. He's finding problems where there are none, basing his whole argument on a few examples of engineered applause. He also contradicts himself stating that we're responsible adults and then telling us we irresponsibly don't know when or where to draw the line. Newsflash - this is pixel fiction, everyone draws the line as he sees fit, you're not in a position to make a universal line marker for the rest of us to adhere to.

Yes you can. Look up Stuxnet. You can design a virus to target specific hardware. Anything that has a micro processor can be targeted. Granted it would take a really good programmer familiar with the hardware to accomplish. And delivery would be the biggest hurdle but it is possible.
The biggest leap of faith is that he has all the software to target a huge variety of hardware and it all can be deployed from his cell phone.
Yeah, there have been rumours about another company working on something that might have been Battlefront 3, but I have a feeling if I looked back at that info, its probably this 1313 lot.

Based off of the teaser, he can probably do it because everything is running off of the same OS, and so the software needed to jam communications, for example, will be the same for anything, as will the software needed to hijack a call, or open a back door into someones documents.
From what I understood of the teaser anyway.
Hitman and Watchdogs. Im always excited for the next Hitman installment. Never even heard of watchdogs until E3, and Im pretty blown away with the possibilities of this game. Definitely looking forward to that one
I'm curious how 1313 plans to be mature. If by mature they mean a swear word here and there, but all you ever dismember is robots, and all the damage you cause is cauterized (so not much blood), I will lose the little interest I have.

Did you actually watch that gameplay footage?
The bounty hunter you're playing as broke a guy's neck when he yanked him over cover.
The enemies were humanoids, for the most part. There was only two droids in the mix. Rest were wearing what looked like scavenged clone trooper scout helmets.

"The Imperium is nothing if not willing to go to any lengths necessary. So the Trekkies are zipping around at warp speed taking small chucks out of an nigh-on infinite amount of ships, with the Imperium being unable to strike back. feth it, says central command, and detonates every vortex warhead in the fleet, plunging the entire sector into the Warp.

I watched it mainly for WiiU stuff, and was mostly impressed. Everything else though, was pretty meh TBH. I noticed A LOT of showings were for games I already knew about, and I dont really watch the game news very hard either. Is it normally this blah?

They didn't show much. Just Last Light and an attempt to do some PR work.
Mn, Last Light DID interest me. Not sure where they're going with it though, so I should look at the E3 footage for it.

Probably not. Most of the south park games so far have kinda been lame.
