Ubisoft E3 2019 Conference |OT| The Curious Case of the Splinter in the Cell
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
I was only half-watching 'cause it clashed with WoW raid time, but why was there an adorable dog on stage?
Not that I'm disapproving, I think this would improve more E3 conferences. "We now pause this conference for the puppy and kitten interval"
Edit: Maybe Nintendo have secretly announced that 35 minutes of their Direct will be a Nintendogs speedrun and Ubi are getting ahead of the game?
I really think we need to start thinking about curbing the amount of violence in these games. I know it's not a popular opinion though.
Looks like it
Ubisoft made that amazing Ubiart engine and then pretty much made 3/4 games with it, before apparently deciding to scrap smaller projects altogether
Looks amazing in the screenshots too. The gameplay is probably shit :(
Ubisoft seems to resurrect/put to bed various brandings/IPs without much warning, so not likely but who really knows. I thought the 2D games were quite successful for them if I recall correctly.
They seem to be focused again on AAA games for now, but I think they'll switch back to some of those great smaller games they were making at some point.
Yep. What a waste, I've had just about had enough of CG trailers. What's up with all these pubs this year.
Will of the Wisps looked incredible last night. Gutted by the release date though.

Wasn't enough Tom Clancy for my liking.
WHERE WAS THE ONE TOM CLANCY I ACTUALLY WANTED UBI?! WHERE THE FUCK IS IT?! EVERY FUCKING YEAR I GO THROUGH THIS.
....because it's in the Direct?
Hey, here's hoping!
Edit: Actually, fair's fair, it does look like the sort of multiplatform game Nintendo would be interested in leading the promotion for.
Honestly Nintendo's 40 minute show I look super forward too after the shit shows this year. Bethesda's only good thing that they showed well was Wolfenstein, Doom eternal.
Ubisoft was Watch Dogs. Xbox was gamepass and Keanu.
Like seriously You wonder if Sony knew of what pipeline wise ubisoft had ahead of time? Or they knew that most of 2019 was going to be a wash because next gen is around the corner.
Nintendo are in a unique position since they're the one company that isn't at the end of their gen but that doesn't mean they can't disappoint. Last year's was pretty underwhelming.
Yeah that's all I want too. These, Prince of Persia and Driver are the franchises I want to see. Splinter Cell I feel confident will happen at some point. The rest I fear are gone forever.
Exactly what I was thinking.
It would be hard to disappoint this year given what we know should be there.
I'm only thinking that way because everybody ended up in the negative when they showed their conferences. Only company that didn't was Sony. Therefore they won e3. And guess what, if Sony did have a conference that would've been disappointing as well because they probably would've been holding onto their cards till next e3.
Eh, I reckon Sony bowed out because they didn't want to just show the same games again for a second year (and because there wouldn't be many big 3rd party reveals that Microsoft didn't already have).
And you did word that as if Nintendo wasn't there at all so I was kinda confused.
it really is the tail end of the generation, I feel like most everyone (myself included) forgot how the last E3 before a gen switch is typically quieter.
I'm very excited for Gods & Monsters personally (Odyssey is fantastic and it'll be nice to have that but... simpler and less of a time investment), and Watch Dogs Legion doesn't look as bad as I thought it would going by the box art. Kinda hope the permadeath is a toggle though, and the amount of guns is incredibly lame, hoping there are non-lethal characters.
I've never really cared about any Tom Clancy games so that was all basically white noise to me

They straight up got people hyped for Square Enix show with FF7R trailer during their state of play, on top of having people talk about how wild Death Stranding looks.
They even were smarter in how they put out some details for next gen in the wired article. XBox had the whole stage to themselves and didn't do shit with it outside of drive home third party games coming to xbox and gamepass. They didn't even put out a fucking gameplay trailer for a game that comes out in 3 months.
They literally blew it really badly. If Sony does a state of play in the next couple months then does a event closer to the end of 2019, people will be talking about it for a long time as they made the smarter choice not doing a conference at E3.
Nintendo was smart to get out for the most part because of other reasons.
Even besides the violence, I just don't see how interesting the thousand variation on "shoot-or-punch this thing to progress" can really be in 2019. I feel like you can count the number of games that don't feature violence in their core gameplay systems at this e3 on two hands.
?
Roller Champions is somewhat big and Gods and Monsters is a big get for the system.
Gods & Monsters looked interested, but that's literally the only game from this presentation that I'm interested in. Since it's coming in February, I wish we would have gotten some more information on it.
Was hoping for another Mario + Rabbids game or another Ubi-Art game (Child of Light, Valiant Hearts). I wasn't interested in any of the shooter stuff at all.

Probably teasers next year. Next gen probably isn't going to get going properly until 2021, games are taking longer and longer to knock into shape.
I know people like to meme about Ubisoft having samey feeling games, but MY GOD do all their Tom Clancy/Ghost Recon shit just blend together nowadays :/
It's a joke right?
Not that much but I'm watching the R6 Siege show right now, it looks nice (I know it's a good game comeback but never played it). As I see the overlord view, they should do a Tactics of this game, it would be great.
Just to quote you, this emotion you so speak, is exactly why Sony didn't go. Who wants to watch a disappointing show where they would have NOTHING to show?
----
I came for Watch Dogs because that's all I wanted to see and they delivered. <3
Yeah, that combo of that art style and Odyssey for Gods & Monsters seems to have a ton of potential despite ending the conference without showing much. And Watch Dogs had a great demo, way more interesting than I expected from art too.
They should have opened with G&M and ended with WDL, though really 90% of the show was filler
It's up to Nintendo and Square to keep this from being one of the most disappointing E3s in years
Oh I agree. But them slowly advertising their games coming up with state of play is the smarter play then trying to have a conference where they show the same games again.
Nintendo has been pretty smart in keeping their conferences/directs for E3 focused for the most part. My issue is they don't fill them with big reveals like Sony and Microsoft do.
But I feel them being quiet most of this year was to save some things for E3.
