All these little digital events are proving why E3 was needed. Covid not withstanding, these digital events have been crap imo.

Watch Dogs Legion looks pretty good. Looks like a design and testing nightmare, hope it all comes together.

I don't see why E3 needs to exist for a show like this to be better. Unless you are missing the crowd and live hosts I don't see why this would have been improved.

It would have just been longer and had more talking.

As much as I hate to say it they need to delay Valhalla if this is the best they can do, those fire effects on the rooftops were awful, the faces aren't great but I can live with them but there are a lot of janky animations. The environments look really good overall though.

I disagree, E3 has sucked the last few years because we NEVER get live gameplay anymore, it's all quick cut trailers or canned short game demos. If they could have people in the same room more often these digital events would be better and that'll come in time.

I totally agree after seeing these now.

AC: V looked pretty bad visually. That engine needs to be replaced.
 
Hopefully I still get my free copy of Watch Dogs 2, but wasn't able to login at all while watching it so we'll see. They say everyone watching will still get it.
 
That little John Wick moment in the Watch Dogs Legion video was pretty awesome, that alone moved it up to a "likely" buy for me.

After being a bit underwhelmed by the leaked gameplay, the AC Valhalla presentation did kind of sway me back to being more interested in it. Still on the fence.

Far Cry 6 will be day one for me, always been a fan and this one sounds pretty cool. I just hope the AI companion aspect is not quite such a big element.

Yeah I may be the wrong kind of gamer lol, but I’m complete sucker for the single player Ubisoft games. Especially AC and Far Cry, love those series
 
That Far Cry 6 trailer was awesome, no gameplay but as an announce trailer that introduces us to the characters it's hard to get better than that. Ubisoft generally does a great job with those trailers and the Far Cry games are usually a lot of fun as well so I'm looking forward to it.

As far as Valhalla, the higher quality video looks a little better but wow you can tell that this is a cross-gen game, the character's faces don't look as good as they did in the last game, in fact the female version of the lead characters face looks really bad. I wish they'd have told us what version that footage was from, I'm guessing PC because that's the version people got to play.

Watch Dogs was already going to be a day one for me but even more so now, it just looks like a lot of fun, digital foundry confirmed both XSX and PS5 will feature RT but to what extent we don't know. They played on a pretty high powered GPU and the game was set at Ultra with1080p and 30fps so people who think RT is going to come at little cost are in for a rude awakening.

I skipped AC: Odessey, never finished watch_dogs 2 but I play a lot of Ubi games as well, but of the bunch I'd say I'm mostly a Far Cry fan. I like that it's an open world FPS that takes place (typically) in modern day but is not a military game. I'm not always a fan with the things they choose to focus on (didn't like the companions in FC5, but it seems they may be a new series staple ) but hopefully FC6 has some cool additions that I'll like.

I do wish Far Cry offered a 3rd person option but I don't expect it, most FPS don't.

Most of the open world games I play are 3rd person so I have more than enough to get my fix. Also I find whenever a game can be toggled between 1st & 3rd person perspectives, neither is as good as when they focus on one or the other. Also I don't know how well FC's gameplay would translate to being a TPS rather than an FPS...

The more I see of Watch Dogs 3, the more I dislike it. It's resembling a Saints Row game more than anything else now.

My feelings exactly. I like the "John Wick" fighting mechanics from the guy in the black suit, I'd have to admit.

They already have the FPS part nailed down and they have 3rd person in vehicles, I don't think it'd be that hard, at least not as hard as Bethesda makes it seem lol.
 
Disappointed at no For Honour 2 announcement.
Watchdogs looks meh.
Kinda over the Far Cry series.
AC: Valhalla I'm on tge fence about.
 
Did anyone notice if they said that the addition of Enemy AI Teammates coming were going to be retroactive for the entire campaign? It's the reason I didn't buy Breakpoint.
 
So pretty meh overall on this. Never played a Far Cry so no interest in the new one. Same with Watch Dogs although I now have both of them for free so once I'm done with Origins I may give it a shot. Valhalla I'm interested in but as I'm currently playing Origins and want to play Odyssey as well sometime, it will probably be a year+ before I get to Valhalla.

Watch Dogs 2 is a really good game, you should give it a try for sure.

I like some aspects of what I've seen so far, but a lot of it is too over the top for me. I'll definitely get it at some point, it's just not a must play game from what I've seen.
I disagree completely, I haven't seen a rubber dick on a stick or anything anywhere near as far out there as Saints Row would have.

I'm betting there will be a sex shop owner who will be able to use their wares on enemies...

...but there hasn't been 3rd person driving since before Far Cry 2...
