I'm thinking that Ben Franklin is going to be the new version of Leonardo Divinci.

Ubisoft has already said they're not going to do that.

Assassin's Creed 3 looks great, and more importantly "NEW".

So no weapon upgrades? Seems off to me.

"That's why more than 70 people...MILLION play ESports!"

LOL. Keep the hilariously bad line-reading coming!

On related news: Shoot Beat Mania, an ESports-centric FPS. Whatever.

Don't worry, you're not missing much right now. It's just a lame-looking team-based ESports shooter.

No way I'm playing the Wii U version with those controls.

What were the controls? I missed it.

You tap and swipe on the touch screen to do everything. The guy wasn't even using the sticks and buttons.

Like with EA, there's a couple projects to be excited about in here (Assassin's Creed III, Rayman Legends), but whereas EA was merely kinda dull, this is being completely thwarted by Ubisoft's total lack of understanding on how to present a press briefing. I can't even laugh at it like I did last year - this is so cringe-inducing and so misguided, I want to visit Ubisoft's marketing department and slap everyone there with a wet fish. Did they not learn anything? What in the hell were they thinking? Ugh...

Mop it up · « **Reply #133 on:** June 04, 2012, 07:07:22 PM »

Yikes, that doesn't sound good. And there are no other control options?

broodwars · « **Reply #134 on:** June 04, 2012, 07:07:56 PM »

GET TO THE POINT, Ubisoft!

Considering it's a multiplayer game on a system where you can (right now) only use one tablet controller, I'd say you can probably play it normally with the Pro Controller. I just imagine how the game's been tweaked to allow for those touch controls to be serviceable.

Did we know yet that Just Dance 4 was coming to the Wii U yet or is that an official confirmation now?

We already knew about it. It's on the games list I put together in the Nintendo section.

broodwars · « **Reply #137 on:** June 04, 2012, 07:12:47 PM »

Whatever this game is, it looks cool. But it didn't need the B.S. 5 minute exposition trailer before cutting to gameplay footage.

Louieturkey · « **Reply #138 on:** June 04, 2012, 07:18:45 PM »

I am intrigued by this game. Hopefully there is more to it than just being a jerk and hacking into everyone's phones and stuff.

That game (Watch Dogs) looks really cool, but man they took too long demo-ing that game. Looks kind of like an open world game in the vein of Deus Ex.

broodwars · « **Reply #140 on:** June 04, 2012, 07:25:30 PM »

I never thought I'd say it, but this Ubisoft Press Conference is going to be a hard act for Sony to follow-up, horrible host dialogue non-withstanding. I want to play every game they demo-ed except Just Dance 4 and Shoot Beat Mania. That was just a great line-up of games, including a cool-looking new IP in Watch Dogs. Sony's going to need an awesome lineup of games to compete with that.

Louieturkey · « **Reply #141 on:** June 04, 2012, 08:02:25 PM »

So the Sony conference will not be on regular tv correct? I couldn't find anything stating it would be on G4 or Spike or anywhere else.

blodtryck · « **Reply #142 on:** June 04, 2012, 08:03:38 PM »

I wonder wether Zombi U (I didn't like the old title, but the new one is not a lot better. Makes it sound... cheap?) will offer multiplayer (online) co-op or if it's just a single player game. But I guess it's gonna be the latter.

And I also wonder wether Watch Dogs is going to be a PC title and if it's available for consoles wether the Wii U will be included or not. Did they say ANYTHING in that direction? I didn't see what controller that guy was using.

I'm looking forward to playing AC3. Wanted to play that game for ages, but my Mac can't handle it due to being too old and I only have a Wii and no other consoles.

Edit.: Okay, according to this... no Watch Dogs for Wii U. http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=178562

Edit.: Although... this list also doesn't show Rayman. So there is hoping. I hope.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #143 on:** June 04, 2012, 08:24:36 PM »

They didn't give any platform information on Watch Dogs. My guess is this won't be the last E3 that game shows up at, so we'll probably get more info later. And I think the Rayman touch controls are only for that one floaty character; if you play as Rayman I assume you'd use the buttons on the gamepad.

No, Sony's is online-only. I'm using the Playstation Blog feed, myself, since I figure the traffic will be relatively low.

Ceric · « **Reply #145 on:** June 04, 2012, 08:38:29 PM »

I'm sort of glad Sony is just an hour after most of today's showings.

broodwars · « **Reply #146 on:** June 04, 2012, 08:54:38 PM »

Watching the pre-show footage, Sly 4: Thieves in Time looks amazing, just like its PS2 predecessors.

EDIT: typical Sony, kicking off their conference with a montage.

Dasmos · « **Reply #147 on:** June 04, 2012, 09:06:45 PM »

God, Jack Tretton is soooo boring.

edit: Also did Ubisoft mention anything about Beyond Good & Evil 2?

The feed on the PS3 is terribly choppy. They could easily do better.

It's probably the same feed from the Playstation Blog, which was also ****. I've switched over to GameTrailers.

And Sony's taking way too long to get to the games for a 1 hour conference.
