Back when horse drawn carriage was the major form of transport in London besides train of course. The streets were filled with horse shit, people were hired to clean the shit up and haul it to the countryside to help with fertilising in the countryside for farming. Nothing went to waste back then lol The streets were kept as clean as possible but you can’t prevent horses from shitting

I bought this game a couple of months ago purely to do the same as you -- I loved seeing how all the places I knew and walk down every day were so true to real life, and it was fun pointing out all the areas that were "wrong". Bishopsgate is true to life until you hit Norton Folgate where they miss out a small chunk of new developments, but the Shoreditch high street is bang on. I could listen to you all day chatting about London history; it's one of my favourite things.

Yeah you know level of detail in games is praiseworthy when, never mind a well done London, the game devs look at the schematics and blueprints of real landmarks and use that to build them in the game. Like how they did it for Notre Dame in Paris, and then when the fire happened, the game studio gave the lot reconstructing the cathedral their research and stuff because it was so 1 to 1. Love the video, love seeing you geek out about London. On another point, super respectful to history of them, to put in beloved demolished landmarks like that.

The KZbin algorithm did well with this one. Old family friend, Ken who died a couple of years ago was a taxi driver in London for 40 years. Miss him to bits but how people like him and yourself did the knowledge is a mystery to me… takes a special ability to memorise that sort of thing. Best stories Ken had was not realising he had Mel Gibson in his cab one time because, and I quote, “he looked too short”, as well as Michael Caine who was very rude and aloof and so turned round and said “when I was younger you used to be my hero because you gave average looking people like me hope” 😂 legend who is sorely missed. Thank you for the great video, maybe one of these days I will end up hitching a ride with you ✌️

@watfordjc

In general, statues and buildings visible from public areas aren't afforded the same copyright protection in UK law as they are in some other countries such as France. CDPA 1998 (as amended), Part I, Section 62: (1) This section applies to (a) buildings, and (b) sculptures, models for buildings and works of artistic craftsmanship, if permanently situated in a public place or in premises open to the public. (2) The copyright in such a work is not infringed by- (a) making a graphic work representing it, (b) making a photograph or film of it, or (c) making a broadcast of a visual image of it. (3) Nor is the copyright infringed by the issue to the public of copies, or the communication to the public, of anything whose making was, by virtue of this section, not an infringement of the copyright. Part I, Section 4(2) covers some definitions that apply throughout Part I: “building” includes any fixed structure, and a part of a building or fixed structure; “graphic work” includes- (a) any painting, drawing, diagram, map, chart or plan, and (b) any engraving, etching, lithograph, woodcut or similar work; “photograph” means a recording of light or other radiation on any medium on which an image is produced or from which an image may by any means be produced, and which is not part of a film; “sculpture” includes a cast or model made for purposes of sculpture. I'd say statues in a game are exempted for the models being graphic works representing real life statues, and the textures being graphic works and/or photographs, however there is a problem with this assumption: the laws granting freedom of panorama have not been tested when it comes to video games. My logical view on software APIs required a drawn out battle between Google and Oracle before I could point to case law somewhere that supported my view (that may or may not be the same stance taken by English law courts), which isn't something I can do yet with buildings/sculptures in video games. Rather than copyright infringement, it may be the game studio and/or game designers' perspective/opinion on freedom of panorama (which doesn't necessarily need to line up with what the laws are in their country). Freedom of panorama opinions/laws are so country specific that when two MEPs tried to get the EU to harmonise the rules in 2015, one wanted freedom of panorama expanded to all countries, and the other wanted it completely removed from all countries, resulting in the EU deciding to do nothing. The Wikimedia Commons have a separate policy for every country: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Freedom_of_panorama

The road layout of London changes all the time. Stratford Broadway is a 2 way road again. TFL and Waltham Forest Council have managed to make the rounabout at Maryland into a junction. The right turning method for North Street, Romford, onto the A12 is nearside to nearside instead of offside to offside.

I hope one day we get an entirely accurate map of london in a game, I have visited and want to live there. Would love to be able to visit the REAL london virtually. I tried this game and did find some areas I visited eg; russell square, museum of london. Unfortunately the smaller areas that I went to which arent tourist areas were not accurate. Yes some of the roads are smaller than in real life, and i was soooo disapointed that the metro is not enterable, and all the metro stations are closed off. Imagine seeing how busy paddington actually gets in a game.

I think it’s more accurate than other Watch Dogs games. People in Chicago and San Francisco said the street layouts were fictional but with real landmarks

That's because it was a 1:1 recreation, headed by the same nutjob that did LA Noire (which was a full recreation of LA). This is a condensed version and also set in the future.

The reason the metropolitan line surfaces like that is because of the steam trains that used to run on it. All that steam's gotta go somewhere, it can't stay below the ground.

There are unnecessary changes I find. They have removed the Dublin castle pub and many elements from Camden, most of Oxford Street is missing, no Hyde park, Soho is gone and most of the south of the river has been remapped

A lot of the changes will be for performance reasons. They need to cut sightlines because otherwise the computer has too many polygons to render and it will slow the game down or worse.

Damn, you're so knowledgeable and must be a brilliant guide to London, let alone a cab driver! I'd find it amazing being driven around London listening to all your rambles and niche facts. Such an incredible city, and only now do I realise there's a lot I haven't seen of it yet!

Being from Highbury, felt like I was done so dirty when I checked out the Islington region of the map, messed up Angel so bad. I get they had map size constraints but I still was a shame the way they did it. You should check out Getaway Black Monday! They get most of central pretty spot on and they filled out Soho with most of the proper shops that are there in real life. old game but still a laugh for free roam (edit) I just saw you did play Getaway!!
