Preshow topic: Are you excited for Watchdogs? What do you expect Ubisoft to reveal?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

22:59 - It's nearly time!

23:00 - Jerry Cantrell from Alice in Chains kicks us off. Ubisoft are coming straight in with the celebrity awkwardness right at the start!

23:04 - Voice commands! SELECT STUFF FROM THE MENU FOR ME! *goes back to rocking out*

23:05 - So the big opening number. Rocksmith 2014! Just incase you wanted to learn the guitar.

23:06 - Aisha's back with her refreshing straight trash talking... such a nice change from the PR wheel of the past two conferences.

23:08 - August 20th, the return of Splinter Cell! Splinter Cell Blacklist.

23:10 - Well with this trailer and so much going on on stage, Ubisoft are really going for sensory overload.

23:12 - "I changed my mic because the other one kept dropping out. If this one doesn't work I'll just start screaming at you. Nothing better than a giant black woman screaming at you. Especially in bed" - Highlight of E3 right there!

23:14 - RAYMAN LEGENDS! Coming out September 3rd.

23:16 - I have #girlwood over this Rayman game.

23:17 - The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot. Your goal is simple - steal from your neighbour and protect your loot! As Aisha said, it's almost like capitalism!

23:21 - South Park time! South Park: The Stick of Truth! Coming Holiday 2013!

23:23 - NEXT GEN TIME, zOMG!

23:24 - The Crew. Fancy FMV trailer... but well... I'll be damned if that's actual in-game footage. Yves reckons it'll revolutionise the driving game genre.

23:29 - As expected the in-game graphics aren't quite *as* good.

23:30 - It looks like an MMO Racing game. It looks hell fun!

23:38 - Tablets can be used to build cars out of the game, so if you have a friend you can easilly get them into the game etc.

23:40 - Watchdogs time! The producer sounds like his voice is a text to speech program on the computer xD

23:41 - Cool looking trailer, but not much new in the way of gameplay footage.

23:42 - Just Dance 2014! PARTY TIME BABY. Coming to all consoles - 6 player dances! Coming October 2013.

23:43 - Rabbids Invasion coming. More interactive TV! So that's Halo, Quantum Break and now the Rabbids. And everyone bashed Microsoft for TV, TV, TV, TV - seems it's indeed... a thing!

23:52 - As cheesey as interactive tv sounds - that actually looked fun!

23:53 - ASSCREED TIME - PIRATE'S YEEE-AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW - AC4: Black Flag - trailer time!

23:54 - Once again it's a pre-rendered full motion video. No actual gameplay for now. But, hey, we've come to expect this from AC. Cool music. Badassery. Ship Battles. More badassery. It's here.

23:56 - GIVE US GAMEPLAY!

23:57 - STOP TALKING. GIVE US GAMEPLAY...

00:00 - GAMEPLAY, HURRAH! It's the sea. THE SEA!

Attachment 43734

00:00 - Wow that close up of the boat, the bright colours, gave me an intense FFX vibe.

00:00 - WHALE! STINGRAY! (Stingray... Stingray... du-du-du-duuuu-du)

00:00 - Swinging with a sword, and then popping someone in the back with a gun. Hardcore. :o

00:01 - Trials Fusion for next gen. Trials Frontier for the mobile platforms. Both coming in 2014. The different versions work together and compliment each other in various ways.

00:04 - Yves unveils an open world RPG by Massive Entertainment...

00:06 - Awesome trailer building up the atmosphere about how quickly a pandemic will happen. Posing the question "What will it take to save what remains?"

00:08 - Gameplay footage looks freakin' amazing.

00:15 - Tom Clancy's The Division - Online Open-World RPG

00:17 - The conference ends.

Very little I care about here, but still going to watch it. :p

Isn't something supposed to be starting in 30 min? I don't think it's Ubi though.

No, it's Ubisoft alright.

WHO'S HYPED FOR SOME ASSCREED 4 FOOTAGE

Gametrailers vids always crash on me; they're unwatchable.

Man in the box? I can dig this.

Edit: And here.

Okay Ubisoft this guitar thing is all very nice and all but where are the videogames

Edit: Oh wait it IS a videogame? Well damn.

Girlwood? O_O

I was wondering what that meant too...

All I can think of is Lady Boner.

This is more derailing then the rapping.

Edit: Yeah, she's just being dirty on purpose. :p

Edit2: ISn't this the lady taking over WHose Line?

Ahahahaha this girl

She's teh best part of this conference. <3

23:12 - "I changed my mic because the other one kept dropping out. If this one doesn't work I'll just start screaming at you. Nothing better than a giant black woman screaming at you. Especially in bed" - Highlight of E3 right there!

The Might Quest for Epic Loot is the greatest game name ever.

I thought that Rayman game came out already? I remember playing a demo of it on the Wii U last year.

LPPYEAHYOUKNOWME!

This Epic Loot game looks super fun. Also is it an ARPG? It kind of looks like it :love:

"I'm okay, my spine took the brunt of the impact." <3

Edit: Okay, the Stick of Truth bit was funny, especially cartman's saying the release time.

Edit2: If I was into racing games, I would be excited as smurf right now.

Is this a car MMO? I have no idea how that's going to work. But giving the car a "nitro" is a nice old-school touch.

Not a racing specific game.... A bit intriguing.

Well, let's see the live demo!

Edit: Okay, that was pretty smurfing awesome.

I didn't expect it but that was surprisingly cool.

Indeed. I'm interested in The Crew now.

Also this Watch Dogs guy sounds like a text to speech voice on a computer...

Alright, Watchdogs looks even better then before.

No Watch Dogs gameplay. Just Dance instead. :colbert:

Talk about tonal shifts.

So... Mini-Games: The TV Show?

That certainly was a thing.

I'm totally up for screaming at my tv. SIGN ME UP!

...And AC IV, don't care.

Snazzy Outfits: The Game :love:

Could they have picked a different song here?

It was a good song until the hipster vocals kicked in.

...iS this a game trailer? O_O

I have no idea what this is but it's a really interesting setting.

Holy trout this looks awesome.

"Online Open World RPG"

ooooooooooohhhhhhhh

Tom Clancy's The Division.

I have #girlwood!

Mannnn, I wanted Beyond Good and Evil 2.

Okay that was actually a pretty good presentation for the most part, a couple things I don't care about but nothing that actually looked bad (except that Rabbids thing wtf) and The Crew looks like a genuinely interesting idea whilst The Division looks, welp, mite b amazing.

Overall this E3 has really been one of the better ones in the last several years.

All that's left is Sony; too bad they'll be happening when I'm in bed. :(

Yeah, Ubisoft was surpisingly good. Even games I'm not interested in are pretty much only the games that don't appeal to me. I really can't say anything bad about them.

Which is weird, cause I always have something bad to say.

Ubisoft are very quick on getting videos up to their YouTube channel. Trailers for the Crew and the Division are on the front page of this thread now.

Is The Division an RPG or a shooter?
