In an interview with Merlin'In Kazani, Dominic Guay (Senior Producer) received comments suggesting that Watch_Dogs was inspired by the TV show, "Person of Interest". Well, this is simply not the case as Guay revealed that development began back in 2009.

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

"I think that when you choose a relevant subject matter that is echoing real world events you can expect to see similarities with others. To be honest I have not had a chance to really get into that show yet, I'm just too busy with the game."

Despite people's initial thoughts, work started more than four years ago and it makes sense, especially when you look at the journey that we've taken with Watch_Dogs since it's reveal back in E3 2012.

Watch_Dogs has continued to impress many and is set to be one of the biggest releases this year.
