Aiden will be able to tap into the city's omnipresent security cameras, download personal information to locate a target, control systems such as traffic lights or public transportation to stop a chase, and more. The city of Chicago is now the ultimate weapon.

Lets hope its fun, bugs to minimum and not a chore...since well, its Ubisoft.
Purposely showing your game to be generic in trailers, when most people are interested in how this isn't. Oh well, I'm not the big publishers' target demographic.
It will really be intresting to comparision between different console formats. The game looks intresting.
