Watch Dogs team has Ubisoft's full backing

In an interview with MCV Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot let it be known that the interest and response to Watch Dogs at last year's E3 was such that the developers were granted more resources or in Guillemot's own words "...all the capacity they wanted to fulfill their dream".

"You always have great ideas, but you need enough people to bring it to life. After E3, we really made sure they had all the teams they needed and it's an open world, that is well-adapted to what people want to play today. So there's good potential for success," says Guillemot.
