WD2, South Park and Steep were the only games that I wanted to play... Maybe trials too, but For Honor looked boring af..
Aisha killed it and the AC movie didn't look bad..
People saying don't sweat the technique is a bad song, are officially shitlisted from having any musical opinions.. Because as far as opinions go... That's a wrong one to have

An appeal to their employees too.
In a recent interview he hinted that if Vivendi took over the company he might start over again with the talented people of Ubisoft who'll "flee" after the takeover. Right now he's still trying building a "partnernship" to block the takeover.

Ubisoft killed it again as usual. By far the best conference and I don't see Sony changing that. An opening too amazing for words, great games, diversity, the expected stuff all looked great and there was some cool fun surprises too. Steep looks fantastic. Great way to close. And it was just an all round entertaining conference. Good job as usual Ubi. They're my favourite third party AAA publisher for a reason and they showed that well today.

Decent conference, if a bit overlong.
-South Park looks just as fun as the first one, and I'm liking the Super Hero Theme
-For Honor is still IMO, one of the most exciting IP's of this gen and the most exciting thing from Ubisoft since the first Assassins Creed. Mabye because it feels so unlike Ubisoft (seems to have more of a linear structure than an open world checklist design)
. Steep looked kinda fun but could go either way
- None of the Division DLC looked interesting
- Why are those VR games so ugly? I know they have to be locked 60fps even on ps4 but damn, those things looked like HD Ps2 games
- I think not showing an AC game was smart. Having a year not talking about any AC game will make the return feel more exciting

Literally all that impressed me even a little were For Honor and Steep. Everything else looked dull and South Park was just annoying.
An oddly good showing from Ubisoft. They usually rank right by EA, but I'd say they're almost as good as Microsoft this year. Almost.
South Park was hilarious, and the new gameplay changes seem interesting. For Honor and Watch Dogs 2 look good. And while sports games aren't my cup of tea, Steep looks pretty nice. Probably shouldn't have ended the show with it though....
Some parts droned on for too long and the "voice chat" was awful. The movie talk was dull, too. Overall, a surprisingly decent conference, so it gets a 7/10.
Rankings:
1: Microsoft (7.5/10)
2: Ubisoft (7/10)
3: Bethesda (5.5/10)
4: EA (2/10)

yep watch dogs 2 looks like it's much improved!
We watched the same conference right?
don't be a hater because you don't like some games and others do. It was a fun conference with varied games announced. If you don't like them that's fine but don't be so rude yknow

They did. They have. They are.
I've been cautiously optimistic from the get-go. I'd really like this game to work its potential, but I'm not seeing it.
And I'm really not sure how I'm falling for this demo when I'm questioning all the major parts of it ;p
Heh, this is exactly how I feel.

Wildlands continues looking alright.
South Park's just like brprpfrbbt.
For Honor impressed. Seems to have good fight feel.
Watch Dogs 2 looks fun to play, but dumb.
Steep's interesting.
No Beyond Good & Evil 2.
0/10

It was way too long IMO but at the same time, Ubi is like the most productive company in video games so it makes sense. Moreover, and probable unlike Sony, they only showed games for this fiscal year which is impressive. 7.5/10
True. The whole "happy Ubisoft family" seemed to hit that bit.
Man, I hope Yves finds a way to block it as I see nothing but bad things coming from a Vivendi takeover.
Maybe that could explain the NX talk today. :O
They can't really start showing games for a system that hasn't been revealed yet. It is interesting that we even saw an announcement for Just Dance NX
People not allowed to have different opinions anymore? I love open worlds, so WD2 and Ghost Recon interest me a lot. I'm also really hyped for Steep, if they manage to capture 10% of the thrill of backcountry snowboarding it'll still be amazing. To each their own taste...
I thought it was a pretty good conference if I'm rating them
MS 4.5, Bethesda 4, Ubi 3.5, EA 2 (ratings out of 5) what little I watched of PC was like a 4
Looked good
For honor
Watch Dogs 2
Fractured But Whole
Blood dragon trials
Meh:
Bird crap
Grow up
Steep (didn't look bad per se but not my kind of game)
Trash
Ghost Recons
Just Dance

I was excited for Steep, and For Honor and South Park looked great. But to call it "the best conference by far and Sony can't change that" seems hyperbolic. MS's conference was great too and Bethesda's was solid.

The Grow Home sequel was a nice surprise too. I really liked Grow Home, but at the same time I never really wanted a sequel. But now that I'm getting one I do want to play it.

So Steep looked pretty interesting to me. I could see myself having a lot of fun finding the most dangerous routes I can down fresh untouched powder. I can't say I'd be using the flying options often but being able to switch around on the fly like that is pretty cool. Hopefully we can take ski-lifts to get about too and jump out of them if we see something of interest.

MS was solid. Not much really excited me though. I said I don't see Sony changing that. They could surprise me, but he past few years don't give me confidence. Ubi have had my favourite conference at E3 for years now, and they delivered for me today.

Oh yeah and STAR TREK VR!
I know it's hard to judge it with what little was shown but still I love the idea and at least on a concept level I've never been so excited to try a VR game.

I really think this was the best Ubisoft conference, and the best conference yet.
They didn't show anything impossible or even improbable.
There was no complex interaction beside shooting, capturing and npc going through idle animations.
Open world with outposts that you can tackle with stealth are nothing new, not even for Ubisoft.
If having the fewest games was a recipe for winning, the WiiU would be dominating this gen.

He definitely was.
I loved this, but instantly hated the fact that I'd have to spend a fortune to play it with friends in the same room.
It's on PC though, so hopefully it'll still be around by the time Gen 3-4 of new wave VR hits and we'll actually be able to afford to play it properly.

Please don't let this happen. Ubisoft are just about the only major third party AAA publisher I still like.
