Beyond good and Evil 2. Thank you Ubi. A little crass on the language but glad its still alive
I never played the original Beyond Good and Evil but I loved the trailer for this one. Far Cry 5 looks great too but I still wish it was 3rd person. AC Originals looks awesome, watching them play it right now. Skull and Bones is more like the pirate experience I've been wanting since Black Flag and south park looks like a lot of fun as did that space ship game who's name escapes me for the moment lol. So basically 6 games in just over an hour plus that I'm sure I'll be picking up. Hell even the Crew 2 looks like fun and I never even gave the first one a second look.

What a contrast to Microsoft's show. This is how you pay fan service to your loyal gamers. Not a cheap ass kick starter or cheap remaster. Not some token appearance of a main character in an unrelated game. A high budget reimagining of a cult hit. Great show Ubisoft! Hope this game makes a lot of money so we get more of this.
I refuse to believe that.
The last juicy rumor to hit said that Ironside was doing voice work at the end of 2016 and that the game "may not be that far in development". I have to believe they're working on it.
Ubi had a pretty good conference. That BGE II showing was the shows biggest megaton.
B- from me.
Splinter Cell will rise again!
Well..Splinter Cell was rumored to be revealed at gamescom last year..so maybe this year? Gamescom 2017 is in august.
Hyped for Beyond Good and Evil 2. No game play but if the trailer is any kind of representation of the art direction, then I'll be all over this.
I was excited until I realized it is looking like a concept CG render. Everything about it screamed- "We are about to make this! Be happy!" I am happy-ish. Would have been happier if they actually had something to show. This game is a loooooong way off, methinks...
Over-all, the conference was a bit ponderous, but there were a couple highlights. The Ass Creed demo afterward was better, imo. I will likely get AC.
Don't care about the Crew 2 or the Rabids game (makin' Mario a cover shooter :/).
Far Cry looks Pretty sweet.
I disliked hearing what sounded like the exact same pirate shanty recordings from Black Flag. I loved the Ship stuff in that game, but making a whole game around it is not interesting to me. Seems like it could get pretty old without the exploration to mix things up. They made a whole game out of a third of another, older game. Graphics were nice though.
Man, I can't remember anything else... That's not good... Ugh, oh yeah, that dance game.....
Yeah the MS event s*** all over this. 42 games virtually non stop. Far Cry 5 looks pretty cool and I'm happy about BGaE2 but like you say, all CGI and I too get the impression it won't be in our hands any time soon. For all the stick some gamers have give the MS event, it's by far the best so far for game announcements. I expect Sony will have a great show as usual with a slew of new AAA exclusives, at least I hope so anyway.
I think it's all about expectations. No one in their right mind expects Ubisoft to compete with Microsoft on the E3 stage. Microsoft absolutely dwarfs Ubisoft.
Well imo MS showing off 42 games did dwarf the Ubisoft show. There has been comments in this thread saying the UBI show was the best so far which is preposterous when you compare them both and really just shows the bias coming through. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the MS show was brilliant, it wasn't. They definitely needed to show off at least a couple of great looking new AAA exclusives to be able to say that but to say the UBI show was better is total bollox.
I think MS was better but its not really a fair comparison and obviously the standards are different.
MS hurt their reputation with that conference.
Ubisoft raised their reputation with theirs.
I think that's what people are talking about when they say Ubisoft had the better conference.
I'm not the one comparing, people calling this the best show so far are. I'm just pointing at it's laughable to suggest that.
That's a fair comment as far as maybe reputation goes but I'm not sure that is what people meant by stating best show.
I like to consider myself a rational person who can't stand when people are controlled by bias. Of course, I am controlled by bias, but I am hyper sensative to that force. With that being said, I can totally see how a rational gamer would call Ubis conference the best while also recognizing that Microsofts conference was better on an entirely different level. I certainly don't think either opinion makes the person speaking it a blind fanboy.
Missed the show but just checked out the BG&E 2 trailer. Visually, it looked very sharp. I didn't particularly like the scene they showed. Let's say "f*ck" a lot so people will know it's a tough, gritty game? The characters and music sort of made me wince, too. I hope it's not targeted at 15 year olds. The original had more charm and peacefulness about it than this did, but maybe charm and peace don't sell so well anymore.
In any case, that was just a small sample. I'll play it, whenever it arrives. Good to know it's a real thing and not just a blueprint.
