Aisha Tyler, still the best thing about Uplay people press conferences, acknowledges their failure in the last year.
Yves Guillemont or however you spell him comes on stage to show us a Samurai, Viking, Knight game. Trailer looks pretty damn cool. Game is called For Honor, but you can’t fool me again. Oooh, actual gameplay coming up. So it’s a co-op game?
Fuck. This looks nice. Not co-op, but versus. 3rd person Chivalry, with slower fights. Really looking forward to trying that out at Gamescom. If you are going to E3, you can so tomorrow.
The Crew expansion. Yawn.
New Trials expansion. Awesome Level MAX. No idea what to say. “You’re a cat riding a fire breathing unicorn”
The Division. Remember: This game is made by 4 development studios. If this isn’t the biggest and best thing ever …who am I kidding.
Same acted voice chat. A Wilhelm Scream. Can’t say much about it. It’s playable at E3. Beta access for everyone not at E3 early 2016, full release is on March 8th 2016.
Blue Byte up next. Could this mean Anno? It’s sci-fi. Looks like you are on the moon. Yep, it’s Anno 2205, you can play on the moon, but you will start on earth. Sounds a bit boring though. Earth is all beautiful and shit, and the moon? The moon is grey.
Cringe moment with Aisha
Just Dance 2016. No camera needed. You can use your smartphone instead. Probably works as well as Kinect. Now some dude singing on stage. Song sucks, singing is bad. WHAT ARE YOU DOING UPLAY PEOPLE?! THIS IS AWFUL?! DID YOU ACTUALLY PAY THEM FOR THIS? You just ruined music for me. Thanks!
Is this the rumored ZombiU sequel? Nope, it’s Rainbow Six: Siege. After some talking we finally see some actual live gameplay. AI is stupid as can be, game looks fun though. Beta starts September 24th and feature PvP & Co-op.
Trackmania, nice! Trackmania Turbo to be precise. If you are unfamiliar with the series, it’s an arcade racer with a great map builder. Ohh, there is also a VR demo available at the Ubisoft booth. Nice! Get the vomit bucket ready.
Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate. NEXT!
Setting is sweet, no question, but it’s just another AC.
One last thing from the Uplay folks. A new IP? Made by a “very good group” and it’s supposed to be “so good”. There it is, the first mention of the “Cloud”. Nice Soundtrack. Game is set in middle/south-america. You are part on some anti-drug enforcement agency. Ghost Recon? Some Vin Diesel look-alike whit face tattoos. Now come the bullet points. Open world. Nice scenery, looking good. And it’s confirmed, we have Ghost Recon: Wildlands. That whole South American Drug Lord thing made my willy soft, but the game itself looks pretty cool so far.
And that’s it. Stronger showing from the Uplay people than expected. Actually looking forward to some of their games.
