// ABOUT
This extensive modpack will bring back some features and the feel of 2013 Watch_Dogs era. Mostly everything is based on Xbox 360 builds of the game (2013 July - 2013 September). Modpack will be updated time from time, featuring more beta content.

WARNING! This modpack is standalone and not supposed to be merged with other mods. Modpack is given 'as-is', support of others mods is not guaranteed.

// FEATURES
Graphics - the good old new look of the game. Based on lighting files from various 2013 builds.  Features beta fog and dozens of shader improvements by miru to make game looking even better.

Story Changes - rewrite of all story missions to match beta versions of them by including cut missions, objectives, sounds etc. For now only Act 1 have beta content restored, more will be available in future updates.

UI Changes - rework of most of UI, featuring some elements from Classic UI by Parallellines to match 2013 style, includes not only visual, but some sounds too.

Double Projectile - return of cut feature. Press H or D-Pad Left to use Jam Coms, B or D-Pad Right to use Blackout.
WARNING! That disables Media Player controls for gamepad. Also "switch vehicle camera" for gamepad is moved to Right Shoulder Hold.

Cut Songs
- adds back 11 cut songs from 2013 July 28 build. All of them are available in Media Player at any time.

Free Camera - built in free camera to make quick screenshots.
Controls:
F4 - toggle free camera mode
WASD - move
IJKL - rotate
UO - tilt
[] - FOV
H - toggle UI
P - toggle slew

Old Profiler Movement - restored old behavior of Aiden when profiler is opened.
While profiler is opened, Aiden won't use hands in pockets and while walking will move his head from phone to look ahead and repeat that.

OpenWorld Systemic Demo - addon for 2013 Modpack, made from scratch script to replay key moments of 14 Minutes Demo.
After installing addon, while not on mission, activate console by pressing ` on keyboard to bring Mini Console and type "openworld_systemic_demo" (without quotes) to activate it.

// INSTALLATION
