Watch Dogs 2 Vs. Real-life San Francisco: Spot The Difference

2021-01-03T17:46:03Z

id="article-body" class="row" section="article-body"> Is this a video game, or is it real life? What we know for sure: [ ] is taking great pains to show off the San Francisco Bay Area. The game about hacking the system, due November 15 on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 and November 29 on PC, has re-created "The City by the Bay" all the way down to some very specific details. We took photos of these places with a virtual camera inside the game, then compared them to the real world. The result? Judge for yourself. Note: Best viewed in a desktop web browser. <iframe id="iframe_shortcode" class="optanon-category-4" website window.CnetFunctions.logWithLabel('%c One Trust ', "IFrame loaded: iframe_shortcode with class optanon-category-4"); The views from [ Rincon Park] are a pretty good representation of the way Watch Dogs 2 recreates most of San Francisco: just like you remember it, with great attention to detail. Even if in reality, it's a bit bigger, wider and grander. <iframe id="iframe_shortcode" class="optanon-category-4" website window.CnetFunctions.logWithLabel('%c One Trust ', "IFrame loaded: iframe_shortcode with class optanon-category-4"); Swapping out [ Cupid's Span] for an old-school optical mouse is a pretty cool touch, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-chua-huong-dong-huong-tich-ha-noi-tour-du-lich-le-hoi-chua-huong-tu-ha-noi.html Tour Chùa Hương] and the greenery (and typical passerby!) are pretty spot-on. The skyline looks way different, though, and Rincon Park's also way further away from the Ferry Building in reality. But honestly, I didn't remember that until I went back in person. <iframe id="iframe_shortcode" class="optanon-category-4" website window.CnetFunctions.logWithLabel('%c One Trust ', "IFrame loaded: iframe_shortcode with class optanon-category-4"); The [ Ferry Building] is a good bit taller in real life, and you won't find palm trees directly in front. Plenty of them exist elsewhere on this street, though. <iframe id="iframe_shortcode" class="optanon-category-4" website window.CnetFunctions.logWithLabel('%c One Trust ', "IFrame loaded: iframe_shortcode with class optanon-category-4"); There's always a nifty pop-up market in front of the Ferry Building, and that's neatly recreated here, though it's not quite as bustling as in real life. <iframe id="iframe_shortcode" class="optanon-category-4" website window.CnetFunctions.logWithLabel('%c One Trust ', "IFrame loaded: iframe_shortcode with class optanon-category-4"); You can still see the Ferry Building way down at the end of Market Street, just like in real life, but Market Street in reality often has way more people. The mix of architecture feels pretty good, though. (Ubisoft says the game represents 36 different architectural styles.) SOMA (South of Market) <iframe id="iframe_shortcode" class="optanon-category-4" website window.CnetFunctions.logWithLabel('%c One Trust ', "IFrame loaded: iframe_shortcode with class optanon-category-4"); I pass [ SF's historic Clock Tower] on my way to work practically every single day. It's been shrunken down a tad inside the game. Note that while the left side of the street looks a little too industrial, it's a great representation of another part of the SOMA neighborhood. Just one of the many places Ubisoft did a nip-and-tuck. <iframe id="iframe_shortcode" class="optanon-category-4" website window.CnetFunctions.logWithLabel('%c One Trust ', "IFrame loaded: iframe_shortcode with class optanon-category-4"); Just past the Clock Tower is this spiky fenced parking lot underneath the freeway. Nice attention to detail.

[ It's the infamous AT&T building at 611 Folsom], where whistleblower [ Mark Klein] discovered that the NSA was tapping into fiber optic lines to spy on internet traffic.

Weirdly, there's no freeway exit here, and it's a two-way street instead of one, but otherwise the feel of this intersection (gas station across from a Mexican restaurant) is pretty spot-on. <iframe id="iframe_shortcode" class="optanon-category-4" website window.CnetFunctions.logWithLabel('%c One Trust ', "IFrame loaded: iframe_shortcode with class optanon-category-4"); [ Chavo's] (the Mexican restaurant) is sadly now closed, and this fence with the embedded slats is long gone, but I dug up a Google Maps photo so you can see the attention to detail. The creeping vines are a nice touch. <iframe id="iframe_shortcode" class="optanon-category-4" website window.CnetFunctions.logWithLabel('%c One Trust ', "IFrame loaded: iframe_shortcode with class optanon-category-4"); The [ Transbay Center] doesn't quite exist yet (it's still under construction) but that didn't keep Ubisoft from basing this one off early architectural renders. In the game, the building itself is a freeway offramp. <iframe id="iframe_shortcode" class="optanon-category-4" website window.CnetFunctions.logWithLabel('%c One Trust ', "IFrame loaded: iframe_shortcode with class optanon-category-4"); You'll definitely find the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in Watch Dogs 2, but the beautiful [ Yerba Buena Gardens], across from the MOMA, are practically nonexistent. There's also no [ Metreon] shopping mall or even a sliver of the giant Moscone Center convention halls, either! Union Square and beyond <iframe id="iframe_shortcode" class="optanon-category-4" website window.CnetFunctions.logWithLabel('%c One Trust ', "IFrame loaded: iframe_shortcode with class optanon-category-4"); While the [ Union Square] shopping plaza is under repair at the moment, it's clearly the same place.

It's also worth noting that while you'll find plenty of cable cars (and they sound brilliant), Powell Street (the main cable car thoroughfare) doesn't exist. Shame to lose all that glitz. <iframe id="iframe_shortcode" class="optanon-category-4" website window.CnetFunctions.logWithLabel('%c One Trust ', "IFrame loaded: iframe_shortcode with class optanon-category-4"); The Chinatown Gate is here, and it definitely leads to a recognizable Chinatown with its own architecture and bystanders speaking Chinese, though it's also a bit smaller and less colorful than in reality. <iframe id="iframe_shortcode" class="optanon-category-4" website window.CnetFunctions.logWithLabel('%c One Trust ', "IFrame loaded: iframe_shortcode with class optanon-category-4"); Japantown has a similar treatment.

Watch Dogs 2 also has super-compressed versions of Oakland, Marin and the Silicon Valley. Here's a shot of Google's campus in Mountain View, parodied in the game under the Nudle name. Looks like the same flowers and shrubs! <iframe id="iframe_shortcode" class="optanon-category-4" website window.CnetFunctions.logWithLabel('%c One Trust ', "IFrame loaded: iframe_shortcode with class optanon-category-4"); Unfortunately, Google's self-driving car doesn't drive itself in Watch Dogs 2.

Not sure what's up with that, but in real-life the aging military blimp hangar is already under a tech company's wing: [ Google agreed to lease it from NASA in 2014.] (Not) the final word If you ask me, a Bay Area native, much of Watch Dogs 2 feels a little bit flatter, more open, empty and yet more [http://www.automotivedigitalmarketing.com/main/search/search?q=compressed compressed] than it should be. You don't get quite the same sense of verticality in the game: The sense that the whole city is looming over you and bustling with life, often in towers scraping the sky over your head.

Duch was a former maths teacher who became the chief torturer for Cambodia's Khmer Rouge regime The chief torturer behind Cambodia´s genocidal Khmer Rouge died Wednesday while serving a life sentence for crimes against humanity, leaving just one surviving leader of the regime that killed an estimated two million people in the 1970s. Kaing Guek Eav, 77, better known by his alias Duch, served as the head of the infamous Tuol Sleng prison in the late 1970s and was convicted of crimes against humanity in 2012 by a UN-backed tribunal for his role in the "Killing Fields" regime. His death leaves Khieu Samphan, the head of state and de facto public face of the regime, as the sole surviving Khmer Rouge member convicted by the tribunal. "The souls of the victims and my parents have received justice," Norng Chan Phal, who survived internment at Tuol Sleng as a child, told AFP outside what is now a memorial centre. Factfile on Cambodia's UN-backed war crimes tribunal and senior leaders of the Khmer Rouge regime Duch had been in and out of hospital for years and was admitted again this week, tribunal spokesman Neth Pheaktra told AFP. According to a doctor's letter confirming his death shown to AFP, Duch had symptoms of "acute respiratory distress". Journalists saw his body taken to a local temple where it was cremated early Wednesday afternoon. The first member of the Khmer Rouge to stand trial, Duch's testimony served as an important milestone for millions of Cambodians who suffered under the brutal regime. Some two million people were believed to have died during the four-year rule due to starvation, forced labour and mass executions in detention centres across the country.

He told the UN-backed court that he joined the Khmer Rouge in 1970 "in order to transform society, to oppose the government, to oppose torture", and helped to oversee a series of jungle prisons. After the regime seized power in 1975, he was installed as head of Tuol Sleng -- referred to as S-21 by the Khmer Rouge -- which he staffed with uneducated teenage boys. He said they could be easily indoctrinated because they were "like a blank piece of paper". He maintained posts within the communist movement even as it battled Vietnam-backed troops after it fell from power in January 1979. He turned to Christianity in his later years and was working for an aid agency under a false name at the time of his arrest in 1999, when many had long assumed he was already dead.

"I respectfully and strictly followed the orders," Duch said in one of his final public statements to the court. Duch oversaw the torture of thousands of men, women and children in a neighbourhood high school that was converted into a detention centre His death was "a reminder that justice is a long and difficult" process, said Youk Chhang, [http://www.zixiutangpollencapsules.com/?s=director director] of the Documentation Center of Cambodia, which conducts research on the Khmer Rouge regime. "Perhaps it can bring some satisfaction to the living, and the fallen can now rest in peace," Youk told AFP.

Apart from Duch and Khieu Samphan, the only other top-ranking cadre to be jailed was "Brother Number Two" Nuon Chea, who died last year aged of 93.
