Without a doubt, Ubisoft's Watch Dogs is one of the most graphically-stunning games in development right now, and a new gameplay video has the best look that we've gotten at the title since last year's E3. Our sister site Polygon has six minutes of in-game footage, which features the game's protagonist infiltrating a facility using his ability to tap into security camera feeds and other technology in the surrounding environment. The resulting gameplay is a cross between stealth games and a high-tech Grand Theft Auto, as the character ultimately flees in a fast and flashy stolen vehicle.

Watch Dogs' good looks can likely be chalked up to its coming arrival on the next-generation PlayStation 4, though it isn't clear what platforms Ubisoft has been showcasing the game on so far. Sony announced that the title would be among the first coming to its new console, and just last month Ubisoft revealed that the game would be available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the Wii U on November 19th. Polygon has more details on the video, as well as some thoughts from the game's senior producer.
