Back again at 4pm MST, it is I, TheNoodle, liveblogging on the Ubisoft conference. Can they top their phenomenal conference of last year? Will they beat out EA in their showing? We'll find out!
Some live ... no, wait, Just Dance, but what is it called? Just Dance 4, looking like a great new entrance in the series, but maybe...not too different. More of the same? I love dance games, so either way, I'm jazzed.
Farcry 3, oh yeah, this is the star player of Ubisoft's line-up for sure, sexy sexy setup to the trailer, and you're leading an army?! Sick! Intense as hell, I'm so excited for farcry 3, it appears that knifeplay is a key part of the game, and the game has a theme of hallucinogenics, I don't think it'll be a gameplay element, but more like a little thing you can do during your exploration of the island.
Splinter Cell featured a great cinematic trailer, displaying great story elements, and putting forth the secrecy of the fourth echelon.
Avengers Battle for Earth, a great great use of the Avengers hype without trying to duplicate the movie, but rather following in it's footsteps, giving gamers the unified cast that isn't hindered by movie rights. And the cinematics look tight, but will the gameplay be open exploration? I hope so, I'd love to pick an avenger and go around fighting a diverse cast of villians at my leisure.
New Rayman game looks just as fun as ever, Ubisoft, you've won my heart again! I just love the way the 2 player works, where we really experience the game together, not just running on our own tangent.
A new zombie survival game... Zombi U...stupid name, but the game looks pretty amazing, hopefully the gameplay is like that of Dead Island and gives us more of a tense, scary experience and not so much just pop pop pop watchin mutha zombies drop!
A rabbid based city developing game it appears, idk, Rabbids are losing their flair imo.
Assassin's Creed 3 cinematic trailer, looks to be a real tale of mystery and intrigue as we see the two sides, in utter awe of this white cloaked figure, who wears not the colors of either side, but appears to be killing one side over the other, but the looks in the eyes of the general as he wonders to himself if this man is friend or foe tells volumes.
A gameplay demo follows and the ability to scale trees is interesting, as well as wildlife interaction, shows a wider variety of tasks you can undertake in service of people you meet, outside of your mission. Trudging through the snow actively affects your speed, as well as rock climbing to make new paths to the objective. Combat really looks to accomodate for the use of guns, by use of bullet shields and makes an interesting use of hatchets as a main weapon in combat in place of the sword.
Shootmania, the same way as Trackmania, a community-created shooter game, what kind of innovations can you make with this game? Just map creation OR weapon creation? The competitive focus is very interesting to say the least, making this an attempt of Ubisoft to bring gaming greater attention as a competitive sport.
A montage followed really showing Ubisoft's commitment to providing accessible content, in a free or cheap way, thanks to Trials Evolution and Ghost Recon Online, among others. Ubisoft keeps a standard of advancing the game industry.
Watch_Dogs looks like a really interesting Hitman competitor, actively using technology to complete hits. The trailer before the gameplay was very fun to watch, set up the weight of the situation immediately. I don't know if it will be worth a buy atm, but it'll be worth the time to experience in one way or another.
Wrapping this post up, again, Ubisoft has captured my heart and imagination. With Rayman, Avengers Battle for Earth, Watch_Dogs, Assassin's Creed 3, and the first WiiU exclusive announced at a conference, Zombi U, Just Dance 4, and my favorite, Far Cry 3, Ubisoft has made a monolithic showing here today, and I couldn't be more excited to see some of these games come out! Great job, Ubisoft!
