For non-gamers, like TUP, its easy to miss the importance of this. Fact is, Watch Dogs is going to be one of the biggest titles dropping for the new generation of consoles coming out now. And the hype for this game (think Grand Theft Auto-esque) is unbelievable, not just from gamers and gaming sites like IGN, but in game development circles. The fact that Ubisoft sent an entire team to canvas the city for the game over its multi year production is also quite telling in terms of how much money is going into this.

And as if all that weren't enough, Sony and Columbia Pictures have already started pre-production on the Watch Dogs movie (before the game has even been released!), which will almost certainly be filmed in Chicago:

You don't have to be a gamer to find that "post worthy"
