Great conference Ubisoft. Your Wildlands demo ran a tad bit long, but it was still impressive. Loved that you are delivering 3 games this holiday season that aren't FPS titles. Really hoping Ubisoft sticks around.
So? Don't need mind blowing games to still be entertaining. For Honor, Steep, South Park, Ghost Recon, and Watch Dogs all looked great.

Probably my show of e3 so far. Loved the look of south Park,steep and even the ghost recon game. Most surprising is how much I want to play the star trek vr game.

Im a sucker for the get it now surprises like with the new trials. Gonna play that tonight.
People want sequels and remakes instead of new IP's.

Steep saved that conference for me.

Agree, south park, for honor and steep looked fresh and fun to me. Hell even watchdogs 2 seems to improve significantly on the original and i'm excited exploring that city with that smooth parkour system.
So what ? E3 is also about showing games and gameplay.

C'mon these are tired old franchises.
Steep actually looks interesting. Wish they'd release a demo.
Nintendo strategy of only showing 1 game but hey its better than anything else shown to pay off? They are looking good for second place atm.
Surely Sony will blow it out the park with the year of dreams 2.0 #believe

Where the hell is Splinter Cell!?
I really like the look of Steep, but it's Ubisoft so I'm being cautious at the moment. Loved Grow home so Grow Up is really good news for me.
They really do have the worst presented show each and every year, it's like they still think that the majority of gamers are 13 year old boys rather than grown up men and women. Really poor.

Ubisoft have the most entertaining conferences consistently now, even with some dud games.
Unfortunately, most of their games all feel the same. Open world, social, etc etc. It's just so boring.
Grow Up was the best thing to come from it. Grow Home was a GOTY contender last year, I can't wait.

I'd give Ubisoft's conference a 2/5. The whole Southpark segment was funny and interesting, but the rest wasn't that great. It looks like Wildlands got downgraded because now it looks pretty terrible, Watch Dogs 2 looks like Watch Dogs in a new city without much change to it, and nothing else at their conference was really interesting to me.

Wrong. It's about megatons and hype and fancy shit with no substance.

oh shit, a potentially fun snowboarding/skiing game incoming? what platforms is it on..? i only catched a glimpse of the trailer but it looked pretty much like what i've wanted for many years now.. used to love Cool Boarders on PS1 back when i could still snowboard a little bit myself.
damn, i wanna go hit the slopes so bad now! i don't know if my shitty ankles could take the punishment anymore though lol.

1) Way too long
2) Game lineup was really not bad, but something about the presentation had me bored through most of it. I can't quite put my finger on it.

Uao, one of the worst conferences I've ever seen, on par with Nintendo 2008.
Too much talking, too much unnecessary things (it was really necessary the AC movie segment ?), too much underwhelming games (Steep seems something that can be really boring really fast, The eagle one I don't even know how to comment, For Honor singleplayer seems Ryse without the atmosphere, WD2 seems absolutely unnecessary, Ghost Recon please, come on). Even the presentation itself was really bad.
Only South Park and Trails seemed interesting enough, but not for a two-hour conference.
Yes, basically. I agree.

It's both. What really hypes me is 5 or 10 minutes of gameplay from a game that is going to release during the next year. Ubisoft often delivers at that.

I have no idea what Nintendo is going to show other than Zelda for the Wii U I guess but interest went down after learning that support for the Wii U is dwindling down and its going to die pretty soon anyway.
Honestly I came into this week not expecting much at all from most companies. A lot of big titles have been released in the last 6-12 months so devs are probably still working on concepts. The big news was going to be the announcement of two new consoles (NX and Neo) but they will not be around tonight and tomorrow respectively.
Really unless you are in on VR there won't be all that much to get excited for this E3.

The only way Sony will come out with a "better" conference is if they play it safe, and opt to toy with people's nostalgic strings by announcing a bunch of sequels to franchises that should honestly stay dead.

I want Watch Dogs 2 to be cool, and there's a good story within the idea they have, but I am pretty certain their telling of the story is going to be awful.
Overall, Ubisoft hardly makes any games I care about. South Park will hopefully be awesome, but other than that, I'm not particularly interested in anything they had.

I really don't know what to believe from that Wildlands gameplay demo.
Did the players actually choose to go in with stealth to gather intel as stated, or were they actually required to do so for the mission? Did the VIP only escape in the vehicle because the player allowed himself to be seen, or is that a canned sequence that always happens? Was the chase along the road how that mission really plays out? Or will it be like GTAO and with its waves of enemy vehicles that spontaneously spawn in to kill the players?
I've got no idea what to take away from that demo but all of my spider senses are tingling.

Aisha is so hot I wish she wouldn't talk about urine so much. The Star Trek VR game sounds like a dialled up version of Spaceteam for iOS.
