this? Well, let’s just say that
during our hands on we took over
an automated car and our driving
prompted the developer guide to
ask nervously, “Uh, so, do you
drive in real life?”
But the feature most likely to
take full advantage of next-
generation tech is the way each
member of DedSec goes about
their daily routine in real-time.
You can pull up the map, check
out what your girl Helen
Dashwood is up to and
immediately switch to her
perspective as she sits feeding the
ducks. All the while, everyone else
on Team DedSec is carrying on
with their lives in opposite
ends of London, waiting for
you to drop in at any
moment. Each operative
can be dynamically
inserted into any story
cutscene, though we
have yet to see just
how much this will
switch things up.
After all, elderly
Helen is likely to
have a different
way of dealing
with things to
your other
operatives...
though we
wonder just
how many
problems can’t
be solved with
her trusty
spider robot.

understanding and all the fire
power, line the streets. Every
citizen has compulsory cybernetic
implants that track their location,
monitoring all they do... though
that’s less science fiction than, uh,


the phone you have in your
pocket right now.
Thankfully, this time it’s not
just a group of stylish youths
chilling in the back room of a
game shop versus the world. This


time, you’ve got the opportunity
to bring all of London together
under your cause’s banner, with
almost every NPC a possible
recruit. Some will require more
work to get on side than others,
but each new recruit is guaranteed
to bring a selection of unique
perks and attributes to your
movement. If you jump through
all the necessary hoops, you can
even bring Albion’s own
operatives on board.

IT TAKES A VILLAGE
Every NPC Londoner has an
opinion of DedSec, and
there are plenty of
opportunities to improve
public sentiment towards
your growing army of
hacktivists. Take it from
us, almost everyone
dislikes it when you
rack up unnecessary
civilian casualties.
How do we know
