Ubisoft conference beginning pretty much now. won’t be able to edit a post so I’ll just have to make normal posts periodically for those who can’t watch.
And we’re already starting out with sound issues.
Intro has hints at what’s gonna be shown.
Oh god…we’re starting with Just Dance, first thing you see is a Panda and a band and some dancing so this can’t be anything but Just Dance. Various songs are being played while various people dressed in uh…who knows what are dancing all over the place. Is this l…yeah…this isn’t a trailer. This is live. They’re dancing around the conference room now. The lady with the purple Juri Han/ Rita Repulsa hair is distracting let alone the pink alien lady. Just Dance 2019 coming October.

Moving on to the next game.
Looks like this might be Beyond Good and Evil 2? taking place in space. Have a witch doctor lady doing acupuncture on a ship, and there’s also a Pig chef and a monkey sleep in the crows nest of the ship. Yeah this is Beyond Good and Evil 2. It’s all done in CG right now. Looks like they’re having ship problems. aaand now there’s some type of wave hitting the ship and Shelly in a separate shipis trying to get back to the main ship. massive damage, explosions everywhere, people getting tossed. Shelly goes into the storm and then jumps out of ship while donning a suit which I guess protects her from the space elements, they’re being boarded by a uh…Jade with a bloody Katana who looks really young. Looks pretty craazy.
Devs are now going to talk about the game. Shelly is captain of the group. Lots of characters from the first game will be making appearances in this prequel. They will showcasing a new behind closed door demo of the game. Now they’re going to show Pre Alpha gameplay footage. A place called Ganesha City.

You can contribute to the game through his business called HIt Record. Writer, illustrater, muscians if you want to contribute to the game. Kinda cool go to HitRecord.org to contribute. will be showing some of this content this fall at the BGE fest.

Moving on to a trailer set to a classic tune, various different crashes, people getting exploded, running into a bell. Getting flattened.Falling into lava, falling into a vat of Oil…that then gets set on fire.
Moving on to Division 2 stuff
dev coming out to talk about a small pox virus placed on dollar bills, talking about the game taking place in Washington DC. Guy leaves the stage and it looks like we are getting a CG trailer. Child running through a city area with fresh produce. Pan out to show wider area as a guy closes a gated door to the outside where a guy was crawling through the street. He gets his water stolen from him and another guy is about to fire a shot gun shell into him, a family cowers in a building nearby. it continues panning out to show how gross and nasty the surrounding area is in comparison to the inside of the gate. Lady is being dragged by a guy with a gun as she’s about to be executed as an example to others. The members of the division pick up the paper airplane that has a message of help on it as they make their way into D.C.
Dev comes back out. Talks about you being the last line of defense against tyrants. Will need to bring skills and tactical abilities to the next level. finish one skillset you can move to another and you might be able to get exclusive abilities in that manner. 8 player team ups will be in division 2, Announces Raids. Planning for years of content. Year 1 will have 3 dlcs and will content new areas and new story content. All of this content will be free. after the conference they will have a 30 minute into the playable E3 demo.
Dev leaves and we move into another trailer from the division with a quote from Abraham Lincoln. Various different shots with showing division agents, music playing of bullets, explosions, Drones flying through the air. A heavy armored guy gets some of his armor taken off game comes March 29th.
Ok looks like we’re moving into something Rabbids related…oh no…they’ve just moved some instruments out to the stage. Don’t know where this is going.
Looks like we’re getting an update on some Mario & Rabbids info, look like they’re celebrating the release of the upcoming game with Grant Kirkhope and with a band called Critical Hit. Ok so it’s not just them playing music it seems, they’re playing music with a trailer for the game playing in the background. Rabbids are playing oldschool Dk, Cranky rabbid is on the turntables doing a quick rendition of the DK Rap. some Rabbid enemies come out. A seagull does a fly through some of the areas that you’ll be playing through and the camera follows. The seagull just got flattened by DK Rabbid. Now wei’re moving into the DKC theme while they’re showing gameplay of the game. Shot of DK playing on Bongos. update comes June 26th. June 25th for season pass owners.
So many pirate games lately…
The Rabbids are behind the production team
Ok now we’re moving on to Skull and Bones.
PIRACY IS DEAD. CG trailer with narration, pirate ship on fire, Piracy STILL LIVES! make up your mind trailer!. Various shots of different Pirates, Male, Female, different races, now playing a bit more somber as the previous pirates who were fighting separately seemingly have formed a pact with each other.
Dev came out for the game. Says there are no heroes. Talking about the game. Piracy is dead in the Caribbean, game takes place in the Indian area. You can get fortunes from a fortune teller, Open world where you’ll run into other pirates, will you Fight or Ally?
Moving into actual gameplay. Has some narration, customize your ship with various weapons like cannons and your steering wheel. The look out lets you know about upcoming things. You can full enemy ships and forts by putting of sails that look like other boats. Game looks really good. This is looking better than Sea of Thieves easily right now. When the boat is ready to be boarded it will indicate that it is and they will board and collet the treasure. The attack has alerted a Portuguese shipwith a commodore, the lookout acts as kind of looking around for you as you look for people to help you. 1 of the pirate ships gets taken out with the quickness with what looks like one shot. the commodore activates a special ability that anchors itself and just allows it to shoot with no limit. So looks like each ship can have special abillities, looks like they’re about to die so they ran into the ship and win. Aand of course since they’re pirates they all turn on each other for the loot. Game comes out 2019.
And now we’re moving on to Transference with Elijah Wood coming out to talk with the game. Elijah Wood seems to be having some issues with reading his lines? dunno what happened there.
Moving on to a trailer for Transference. Looks like the kid got plugged into something, Guy is talking to you periodically while some trippy stuff is going on. Game is coming Fall 2018
I can let you do that Star Fox?!
Here we go
Now we’re moving on to that space game that I can’t remember the name of at this moment. Kinda looks like No Man’s Sky. Think the game’s name is Atlas. Yeah this is that game where you have those figures that you put on your ship to customize it and customize it in the game. Called Starlink Battle for Atlas and it’s coming Oct. 16th.
Dev comes out to talk about the game. Moving into a gameplay demo. Ship moving through space and is being pursued by some other ships. UH…WTF…STARFOX!? I thought that sounded like Starfox when she was talking to people. OK surprise Starfox announcement for this game. So I guess you can play as Fox Mcloud for the game for the Switch. Dev has wanted to invite Fox and the crew for Starlink ever since he started making this game. and Miyamoto has been chilling in the crowd the entire time. Didn’t even see him. So they showed what the Arwing looks like physically for the game. Game will releease on Oct 16th and of course Starfox will be exclusive to the Switch.
Moving on to the For Honor section. I swear to to god if they actually announce a battle royale mode for this game…I was just joking earlier but it doesn’t sound far fetched,
Dev is coming out to talk about the game. Giving away the starter edition of For honor on Uplay for free from June 11th to June 18th.
Now going into a trailer. Massive fight with People slicing and dicing. Time seems to stop just as lady knight was about to have her face cleaved into. She’s walking through the area as time is stopping. Has music playing as it continues. There’s a pig looking monster in a dust cloud. Looks like some chinese warriors are coming to play. For Honor Marching Fire update with more.
They’re introducing a 4v4 mode with Castle Seige. Showing footage of the mode now. The chinese guys just broke down the door. and they’re now laying waste to the area. This looks kinda awesome really. Kind remind me of the Two towers scene from Lord of the rings since one faction is trying to get in and the other vaction is trying to push their way in. update is coming 10/16
NOW…we’re actually doing the Crew 2.
Open beta for Crew 2 will be available on June 21st, You can pre load the beta now.
Moving into trailer now with the camera panning between various vehicles, Planes, Cars, Helicopters, dirtbikes all with the same player behind them if I"m not mistaken. F1 veh, Speed boats. last shot in the trailer shows the guy who was riding in all the veh sitting on the car showing all the veh he was driving.
Now finally moving into Assassin’s Creed Origin,
Yup takes place in Greece, Various different locales, environments look gorgeous… uh this guy just leaped from a building that and hit the ground with a sword that I’m sure would have broke his legs…he just took it like a champ. Looks like they’re going to also deal with the Spartans, look like a scene out of 300 for a moment.
Dev is now talking about the game. Explore on land and sea. Talks about all the different things that came out of that era and all the different wars that came from it. You’re an outcast that’s out to save his family to become the hero Greece needs. You’ll get to choose between 2 dif characters as either Kassandra or Alexios. You play that character for the entire game.
Going into another trailer, Leonidis is name dropped. Alexios is related to him. Of course the Sparta kick in. Dev talking about the way how the changed the way how they make story. Som footage of Kassandra talking to Sokrates. You have dialog choices now.
Moving into more gameplay footage. Wide camera shot of the ship sailing through Greece water and coming to port. Camera is now following Kassandra as she goes into the port. She talking to someone when she gets there ans she has another option on what to ask of him. So now they’re following him further into the city. Apparently she’s already wanted, and they got spotted, the person she was with holds off the guard and she makes off on a horse, she was doing ok until she gets spotted by a merc, she’s firing arrows. She knocks the guy off the horse and now they’re doing hand to hadn combat look like she can set her sword on fire, she counters the guy and delivers a finishing blow. They show a peak at the skill tree you will have to upgrade. She jumps back onto the horse and heads into a Spartan Camp. Kassandra goes to talk to people in the camp. You get another choice in how to speak answer their request to kill someone. Now the scene switches to a massive battle on the beach. Kassandra kills a few people and of course there’s a bigger guy ou tthere to worry about, Guy rages out. she counters him and hits the guy in the balls with club with a spike then finishes him off as he’s falling over. Montage of gameplay footage. And uh…yeah that looked like Minotaur? Game comes out Oct. 5th.
