Ubisoft E3 2014 Press Conference Thread
- Thread starter Lavalamp1138
- Start date
Really well paced conference. AssCreed was impresive with so many people there and all that.
And Valiant Hearts looks really good. I'm buying this game for me PS3 (instead of waiting for Vita like Child of Light) because I think my father will really enjoy it. Really touching trailer.
That Rainbow Six Siege game looks quite good too. Especially the destructible enviroments.
I think it has been the best conference overall.

Sure it was a bit over the top, but people here are pretending that teamwork never happens. Sure, if you jump into random games it won't but if you have a group of friends to play with, it is not far from reality.
At least they've all been entertaining so far.
MS brought gamez gamez gamez.
EA was laughably hilarious despite the near no shows by their actual big games (hello 2016 Mass Effect 4 and Battlefront)
Ubi was a bit of column 'A' with stuff like the Rainbow 6 and a bit of column 'B' with the fitness/dance stuff.

This is why Ubi gets a C+ from me. Rainbow Six was such a known quantity, Michael Pachter guessed it. Would've gone hard after Valiant Hearts, which still hasn't shown a real representation of it's gameplay.

That Rainbow 6 game looks pretty cool. It'll be great to use the destruction tactically like that. Hopefully games will actually play out that way.
UBIsoft mp convo:
"Okay, we're going to breach the wall at the same time you breach the door and I get the guy on the left and you take out the 2 on the right."
*KABOOM*
"Good job, we neutralized the threats."
Actual real player convo:
"FUCK DUDE, BLOW THAT SHIT UP NOW"
"NO WAIT I'M NOT RE..."
*KABOOM*
"LEEEERRRRROOOOOOOOYYYYYYYY JEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNKIIIIIINNNNNNS!!!!!"
"WHAT THE HELL DUDE? YOU GOT EVERYONE KI..."
"YOU PIECE OF SHIT YOU DIDN'T GO IN ASSHOLE!"

Shit's been getting worse throughout the day.
C'mon, it wasn't great but it was definitely better than EA's shitty conference.

It was less offensively boring than EA's conference, but still incredibly pedestrian and safe for the most part. Wasn't helped by segments of utter cringe-worthy antics like the dancers on the stage and lots of Tyler's overbearing presenting. Zero bombshells.
3/10

Come on now sometimes it happens happen
Eargrating chatter and boneheaded tactics of the player aside, the Terrerists vs SWAT game theme is a nice one. Not this particular version, will wait for the actual game. I don't trust this in the least.
Conference ranking update time: Almost everything was CG or at least heavily scripted, but it was quite a bit more geared towards my gaming tastes, so this is clearly better than the EA conference by default. Plus, there was some live gameplay, so that's nice to have as well

- even if I don't trust Ubi that this was really a live game, or even relatively untouched multiplayer gameplay. Will wait for release. Even for the adorable WW1 thingamabop that's right up my alley in theming and artwork.

Ubi, please. I like SWAT and I like R6, but I don't want my R6 to be SWAT.

Don't expect much. We know for certain that a lot of devs like Media Molecule, Guerilla Games and Quantic Dream won't show up at all. It's probably Uncharted, Order, DriveClub and Project Beast. Maybe one more surprise announcement, but that's likely it.

MS: 4/5
EA: 1/5
Ubisoft: 3/5
Might give reasons for these when Sony is done.

So, Beyond Good and Evil 2, Prince of Persia, and Trackmania are all dead now? I guess that's the cost of new IPs like Watch Dogs, the Crew and Division, but still a little sad to see those go. New IP or not, those dead franchises are a lot more unique than these new ones they're giving us.

Ubi's conference was ok. I liked Aisha Tyler's attitude as a host, and I appreciate her enthusiasm .
I also liked Valiant Hearts and AC, but that's about all I cared about in terms of content. I'm incredibly tired of shooters, so the Division doesn't interest me.
At least it was better than EA's...thing.

I guess it's up to Uncharted and Zelda to save us.

i would give it a D- if they didn't show a Platinum game.
Ubi has to find a way to make it Tom Clancys's: Beyond Good and Evil. Once they get that part nailed down, it will be good to go.
If I'm in an objective based lobby and my team members are spouting half decade old memes, I'm dropping.

Throw in some racist/sexist remarks and you'll be spot on.

Michael Pachter guessed it... about 10 minutes before the conference.
I am suspicious.

Ubisoft was pretty much just "as expected". Unity looks solid, but still "just AC". The Division is losing me with the more I see. Valiant hearts looks touching - but I still don't understand what that game is. 5/10.
No way, Just Dance and Shape Up killed the conference for me. Hell, even Rainbow Six felt too fake for me to love it.

That's why you play with friendly well know humanoids.
