UbiSoft's LIVE E3 2009 Thread
« on: Monday, June 01, 2009, 04:25:42 PM »
You'll be able to watch UbiSoft's E3 2009 Coverage LIVE right here TONIGHT!

BTW, I'm currently watching G4 on my TV.
It says at the bottom of the screen w/ short info that...
UbiSoft has confirmed Assassin's Creed 2 and SC: Conviction will both have DLC around the game's launch.

EDIT - 7:30pm Atlantic time here:
UbiSoft's going to start their coverage here at 8PM Atlantic...
Get on their website or turn onto your TV G4.

EDIT 2:
UbiSoft's Presentation is now on G4TV LIVE!

EDIT 3:
UbiSoft plans to have games made with movie icons Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg behind them.

EDIT 4:
UbiSoft plans to drop their U, which will include U-Play, U-Shop, and U-Help -- so you can get live support from them and other gamers. Hnmmmm....sounds like Steam to me.

James Cameron's Avatar (Game) is another being made with movie icon  James Cameron behind this game, to launch right along with the upcoming movie.

James Cameron is coming up to give a speech and talk about the game.

I think we all hate Ubisoft and James Cameron is a colossal tool.

Red Steel 2  - E3 2009 trailer showed off for The Wii.

They're bringing two of the dev's up.
They're gonna show a level off in the game and they're gonna play the level live.
Which takes place in the desert.
There's gonna be a cel-shaded look.
Sword-swinging and gun-slinging mix for gameplay here.
Red Steel 2 will be bundled with Wii Motion-Plus on launch.

EDIT:
Shaun White's Snowboarding: World Stage trailer.

Soccer icon Pele is introduced.
They're gonna show-off Academy of Champions (Soccer).

What the hell?  Atlantic time?  Who uses that?
People here in Massachusetts.

EDIT:
Next up, Ubi's bringing dev's out from SC: Conviction.
TRAILER being shown.

EDIT 2:
In-game demo is next.
Sam Fisher left The Agency storyline-wise and he's going after the guy who's involved in his daughter's death.
He's faster and can be more upfront in combat, etc etc.
You will see projected movies playing in the background, when trying to Interrogate enemies to add more to info and footage to the story, as you unfold more...
Objectives will be told within the environments in the same way as you're going along, as well.
Game completely turns to black and white when you're hidden very well.

Well, my impressions from that -- SC: Conviction looks pretty sweet.
Best thing we've seen so far from this UbiSoft presentation.

EDIT 3:
I dunno about Ruse, but I want that table they used for Ruse...hehe. Too cool.

Holy crap at Your Shape -- a new Wii Fitness thing that comes with a camera that assesses your weight, shape, etc etc. And it tracks your motion and stuff. This sounds more like a fitness program than a game...

EDIT 4:
Grasshopper Studios' upcoming No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle mentioned.
Q Entertainment's some upcoming "Project Eden" ((working title) mentioned, but won't be elaborated on.

Assassin's Creed 2 up next.
Planned for release on Nov. 17th for X360.
Trailer shown.

Highlights:

-The same SC: Conviction walkthrough we saw in MS's conference
-CG only trailer for Assassin's Creed 2
-James Cameron rambling for 20 minutes with no screens, no gameplay, no videos, just a logo
-"tween" games
-lots of fucking french people who you can't understand
-15 minutes of improv by a foreign soccer player and a gay white guy because the video of the lame looking game won't run

EA's conference was ok, MS's was mostly good. (way too much Beatles and Skynet/Milo though)

I think you meant the Eastern Time Zone.  There are no parts of Massachusetts that are in the Atlantic Time Zone.

Best part of E3 so far:
