It was played at e3 with this controller:


Looks like a Wii-U controller? Thumbsticks above the D-pad and face buttons, narrow shoulder bumpers and looks like the mini-USB port in the top. Probably doesn't mean anything though.

Don't know why you guys are assuming this is going to be some on rails thing. There was a Control Train option in the menus. Clearly this game is off the rails

It seems like it'll be set-pieces with a few different ways to complete each set-piece. There's no way it'll be free-roaming with some of the fancy stuff you can do, surely.

I get the vibe like it's a modern Assassin's creed in gameplay - open world (to a point), freedom to take down your targets (to a point), multiple gadgets that interact with the world (to a point).

Speculation postAs if anything other than "this is a game" is more than just speculation after a 5-minute scripted gameplay sequence

This is how I think it'll be. If people want to compare it to a Rockstar game, it shouldn't be GTA, it should be LA Noire. Technically open world, but the vast majority will be "featureless city block" with a traffic light and a collectible dude with cell phone you can hack/tap for info. There will be a degree of freedom in how you meet objectives, but they will all boil down to "go to point X/Y/Z and press X/Y/LTrigger/RTrigger to use Phone Hack/Traffic Light/Gun/Comms Jammer" in sequence.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing because this game looks loving intense, but that's definitely what the trailer implies, whether it's the case or not.
