Although it does require 6GB RAM which could sneak up on some older systems, and it needs a DirectX 11 supported card with 1GB VRAM. Watch Dogs also needs 25GB.
What are the ideal or even supremo system requirements for hacking the entire city of Chicago? Morin hasn’t revealed those yet but let’s hope they’re meaty.

Recently Ubisoft has come under criticism that the more recent Watch Dogs footage in trailers doesn’t look as high in fidelity and effects as the original reveal footage back at E3 2012. This has been disputed by Ubisoft but some damning GIFs are giving sceptics a lot to work with.
@vytla102 Guys... Trailer wasn't a good GFX ref. E3 2012 was PC as we always said and E3 2013 is PS4 reference. Was always the case...

Morin’s twitter feed also mentions there are skills centred around hacking, driving, combat and crafting. He confirmed there is blood and all vehicles in the game world can be acquired through exploration or the game’s economy. Morin also said the high settings on PC are ”REALLY stunning if you ask me. As for density it also very high of course.”
Watch Dogs releases on PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One and PS4 May 27th.
