I'm not too experienced with ARGs, but I'd say it is not a connection

Well, don't want to be that guy, but I think the bible is way too subjective to pull meanings from. And perhaps the game has nothing to do with religion..

This was interesting to me:
"revisit-after" content="7 Days"

New info coming in 7 days?


EDIT: Also, not sure if this really means anything or not, but I will just throw it out there just in case...

Second image: That's usually how ASP.net pages handle viewstates. Nothing special here.

Scanned the site code and found nothing. Things that jumped to me: there's a light bars installation on the video going through the exhibit that maybe has numbers to decipher. The rows have 30, 18 and 25 bars, from top to bottom. I'm attaching the frame.


It's actually 30, 18 and 26 bars.

I found this picture on the website.

I started looking for more clues on the other video they posted about the game. The first that was out about the ctOS, I think it might be called direct connect. And I found that this information is repeated several times throughout the video. It is supposed to be related to Raymond Kenney, the guy in the story that caused an blackout in a whole sector of the country in 2003.



Maybe it is just a copy paste because of the laziness to come up with new information-like lines, maybe it is not. ARGs play a lot with paranoia. But I am about sure that there is something behind it. The game premise and main ideas beg for exploration in an ARG kind of promotion and we already got clues that point to that.

It is not hard to come up with ramble code, those above must mean something.

Nice, I think this is just a copypaste, but worth noticing and posting. If this is some kind of code, I guess at least we can't do nothing with it right now.

Now, speculating about the story, if this is actually a game, maybe we will discover some kind of organisation that is planning a major hack on the country, or we will get in contact with Raymond Kenney himself.

Joseph is dead and Aiden, the gameplay trailer main character, is hunted, so this gives us at least 2 rival groups, or 3 if Raymond Kenney belongs to a third party. What do you guys think?

I believe that we should follow those characters around. We know that the events from the game take place between October-November of 2013, and we know that in 13 August 2003 Raymond Kenney worked his deal. Maybe Kenney was never caught, and maybe he has information on the ctOS.

In the supposed timeline the first instance of the ctOS was installed last year in 2011. Maybe we can track Kenney and find out more about this conspiracy behind the ctOS. If I where to follow the leads, that is where I would look for.

We know that Demarco has a MySpace page, what do we know about Kenney? Those codes might help us.

Not sure if helpful, but here's the wiki for Watch Dogs: http://watchdogs.wikia.com

On the Ambrose Theatre page there's a trivia saying the theatre is based on the real-life Chicago Theatre (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Theatre), maybe this is something to look at.

It would be a good idea to visit this theater and see if there is anything interesting there, or go to the CTA L-Train Station referred in the wiki.
Lots of ARGs involve physical clues, and it would be good to have someone go there to check if this is the case.

Also, have anyone found anything on Raymond Kenney? I have been looking for him on social networks an such but with no avail. I believe he might be an important character of this ARG.

Keep this thing updated people!
I am eager to see where this goes.

EDIT: This seems to be relevant, so I will just leave it here. Maybe there is something on that bar code?


Also from the Wiki.
