Just Dance 3! I meant to predict that. Ah well, I'm surprised they haven't made a Kinect or Move version of Just Dance...

Sesame Street vs Far Cry for GAME OF E3

broodwars · « **Reply #277 on:** June 06, 2011, 06:30:46 PM »

Wow, did Ubisoft just compare themselves to Nintendo with Wii Sports? That's just wrong on so many levels.

Why couldn't they make Piano smith?

Daggers? Is it Assassin's Creed time?

Yes it is. Assassin's Creed Revelations.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #281 on:** June 06, 2011, 06:34:40 PM »

Assassins Creed animated like Samurai Jack?

Oh retro make over for 25th Anniversary.

Can you take me Higher

Stogi · « **Reply #283 on:** June 06, 2011, 06:34:59 PM »

holy **** I love that art style!

broodwars · « **Reply #284 on:** June 06, 2011, 06:35:11 PM »

Is it wrong that I'd rather play this retro version of Assassin's Creed than the real cash-grab sequel they're making?

Didn't they do the same thing last year? Maybe that was someone else, but I thought it was them. It was at least someone undeserving of it, but it seems to be the comparison to make these days.

Any of these retro remakes coming to the 3DS?

No.

As for Revelations, I heard similar smack being talked about Brotherhood and that game turned out to be good.

I notice they're really talking-up Ezio and not mentioning Desmond at all, despite the fact that's he's the actual main character of this franchise and Ezio is a virtual reality simulation.

Shush! That's a spoiler.
Maybe they're being needlessly coy until they make the Desmond game.

Flamethrower is pretty sweet.

We have Sony left to wow us tonight, right?

Are Capcom, Konami, and everyone else holding pressers tomorrow?

Stogi · « **Reply #291 on:** June 06, 2011, 06:47:59 PM »

They did a fantastic job getting the mood down for the Ass ass creed but I really...REALLY liked the old school art style better.

If they are, they aren't being streamed. I think Konami already had their's.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #293 on:** June 06, 2011, 06:50:41 PM »

Konami had theirs last week.

Not sure about Capcom. I think theirs was last month as they had their own event.

If they are, I couldn't find information on them. We do have the Nintendo press conference tomorrow, which has its own thread in the Nintendo gaming section of the forums.

As for Ubisoft's showing, I thought they did what they needed to do after last year's show: they brought the games. I didn't care for many of them and the company's casual showing was just obvious franchise milking, but there were definitely interesting-looking games in there. It was probably the best conference today, but the bar was set pretty low.

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what Sony brings this year, though I may or may not be able to watch it Live with you guys depending on when I get into the hotel and how the signal holds up. It was pretty decent during the Ubisoft Press Conference, but that kind of connection is pretty rare out here.

The height of that press conference for me was right at the start with Rayman Origins. From there, there was an ebb and flow to the quality of what was shown. I can't say I was a fan of the general theme of the show (referring to the pointless retro clips and the hyperactive host). That said, there were some surprise announcements, and a couple look alright.

Shaymin · « **Reply #296 on:** June 06, 2011, 06:56:07 PM »

So between Ubi and EA, the only games Nintendo owners give a crap about are Just Dance 3 and MAYBE Rayman Origins?

Thanks.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #297 on:** June 06, 2011, 06:57:12 PM »

I was into the Farcry3 video.

I was thinking "why don't they just make a movie like this. Maybe not a long movie, but a 40minute movie all in the first person view... I would watch it"

Then I was thinking.... haven't they already done that. And wasn't it called Call of Duty?

ShyGuy · « **Reply #298 on:** June 06, 2011, 06:57:31 PM »

when is Activision?

Keep in mind that none of these companies can show off Cafe games until Nintendo formerly unveils the console at tomorrow's Press Conference. There was never any reason to think the Wii would still have 3rd party support at this point, with Cafe already being a known quantity.
