Congrats Ubisoft E3 Champs 2 Years In A Row (sarcasm)

Matt G. from TheBitBag.com writes, "People gave me a little grief for giving Microsoft a B- today for their press conference. Some thought what Microsoft pulled today was a D or a F press conference. Well, people the fine folks at Ubisoft once again proved that they absoluelty suck at E3 press conferences. I’m going to make this post a lot shorter than my Microsoft write up because I just watched Ubisoft fart around for 2 hours."

[OOG]

lol I have to agree they don't do well on E3 conferences.... the host was funny but it was funny that he made fun of most of the stuff more then praised it and when he praised it it seemed to be all scripted...

Ghost Recon looked great tho.. but wheres I AM Alive and Rainbow? :/

On a side note... these casual games will get a lot of people in shape....

[N4GAddict]

E3 hasn't even started yet.

[Christopher]

The official dates on the site may be June 15-17, but E3 honestly began last night and Monday & Tuesday will contain the majority of big news items from the various press conferences when it comes to gaming news.

[blitz0623]

Well, considering Microsoft's Conference wasn't E3 material, I guess you're right, E3 hasn't started yet

[nygamer28]

ahh it started today

[Hideo_Kojima]

Even the guys at E3 know that E3 doesn't start until Sony hits the show hence the E3 date of 15-17th...

jk

no am not kidding actually am serious

jk

*whispers*no am really serious*whispers*

[ShinMaster]

It doesn't start until Sony brings the big guns! :D haha

[edit] I know I'll probably get quite a few disagrees. Not trying to be a "fanboy". I'm just having fun, lol

[Conloles]

Ubi hardly even make good games anymore

[TheDeadMetalhead]

The host, the cool-looking Shaun White Skateboarding game, Ghost Recon and Ass Creed 2 saved it from being a complete disaster like Microsofts, but it was still really disappointing.

[RockmanII7]

Gears > Ghost

Crytek exclusive announcement > already announced Brotherhood

Halo Reach > SW skateboarding

everything > Kinect

So... its a tie

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Well, the Crytek game, if I recall correctly, was little more than a 30-second trailer that showed practically nothing. Gears 3 looked pretty good (probably the best game there), but it also looked almost exactly like Gears 2, except with color.

The 360 Slim didn't impress me for two reasons.

1. It looks like nothing more than a copy of the PS3 Slim.
2. The "new features" it has (built-in Wifi, quieter, larger harddrive) have been on the PS3 since it launched. It's kind of hard to be impressed by it when the competition has had the same features for almost 4 years.

Basically MS had Gears 3, Fable III, two rehashed FPSs, a multiplat, ONE previously unnanounced game that was just a 30-second trailer and an hour and a half of motion control gimmicks that are just copying the Wii/Eyetoy. So yeah, I would consider that a pretty terrible E3.

[Pistolero]

Microsoft's wasn't a disaster like some of you fantards keep saying...the new Xbox 360 S...and games like Gears 3 and Halo Reach made the show well worth it for me....not their best ever in terms of hardcore games...but then again that was never going to be the focus of this show...it was mostly about Natal and the new 360.

[PoSTedUP]

it starts when sony says it starts jk.

for me ubisoft was a mess presintation wise, the host was trying to be funny and got arkward crikets most of the time. they didnt know what they were doing up there lol.

the games were cool though. the CEO could pass for Fezzes father ( Fezz from that 70's show)

[HolyOrangeCows]

Pfft, if you give Microsoft's conference a ''B-'' I couldn't give less of a crap of what you think. You're either a moron or a fanboy.

[Disccordia]

Where was BG&E2, I Am Alive and Rainbow Six!!

[Smacktard]

The host was only good if you have the sense of humor of a 5th grader. Everything about the Ubisoft conference was disastrous.

[NYC_Gamer]

EA had the best conference today...

[OOG]

agreed EA is really turning it around in my books the past few years with Mirrors Edge etc... and working together with great studios... they seem to finally be doing things right... now lets just get them sports games back on par instead of just adding new paint and shine.

I would love to see them run with the physics engine from backbreaker but with their normal camera angles etc for madden.... and would be nice to see that engine in things like hockey where hitting is a big part of the game.

[renegade]

Misleading title. He named Ubisoft The Champs of suckness

[despair]

was wondering as the EA one had some really good stuff.

[renegade]

sony will be showing and nintendo too early to judge but i didnt like the microsoft one it was too kinect.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Breathing: The Game.

That is all.

[NeoBasch]

I like spreading my legs. Makes me a sexy assistant. ;)

Also, I'm in a coma.

[Focker420]

You stole my photo!!!!!!!!!

edit: lmao, I'll find a new one anyway. urs looks better. :)

[TheDeadMetalhead]

...Well, this is awkward.

[renegade]

Rolf photo fight who has the edge?

[C L O U D]

I actually liked the host but there was too much repetition such as...

"Wow!..." every few seconds or so

"Awesome!..." again every few seconds or so

"Uhhhh..." every few seconds as well.

[OOG]

lol yeah he seemed to be unprepared... I liked when he made fun of people tho.. was pretty funny... prob would have been better without half of the awkward convos lol... and the weird slip up by g4tv at the beginning lmao

[squallheart]

you have to love joel mchale from The Soup he always manages to make me laugh XD

[Silentmerc3nary]

People aren't doing it so much on this site, but people in general need to stop hating on Joe for his performance. I actually laughed quite a bit. To be honest, he sounded like he wasn't given a lot of material to work with; had to improvise most of it. There's only so much to say about Laser Tag, big white blocks, orange/gorgeous hair, pink hair, and time travelling rabbits.

[SilverSlug]

That is all that matters.

[The_Firestarter]

Now we can play LASER TAG!!!! ZOMG!!!!!! /s

[Focker420]

EA won the day hands down. The other two were a joke.

[dirthurts]

EA did pretty well.
Let's hope a Twisted Metal is shown tomorrow.
*crosses fingers*

[dirthurts]

Who was that announcer guy? No one was digging his jokes at all. Very insulting guy actually.
Rayman looked great. Ghost recon looks pretty good too.
Not much else though...
Do note these are only MY opinions.

[MysticStrummer]

*makes a note*

[tunaks1]

it was pretty hard to watch

[Psycho_Mantis]

So you wanna talk about jokes eh? Just take a look at that guy from The Soup. He made alot of bad, bad, bad jokes that really brought the whole show down. Tha and plus he never shuts up! What in the hell...was Ubisoft thinking!? Heres hopeing that we wont see Cammie Dunaway tommmrow at Nintendos conference eh? lol

[dumahim]

The bad they had was pretty bad, but the good they had was really good and more then made up for the bad stuff.

I guess I don't get it. Press conference with only two games someone would buy on day 1 makes it a bad press conference? That's a pretty weak reason. I might only buy one of them, but I was surprised with Ghost Recon, Rayman, and Shaun White. Driver might not be as good as the rest, but the car guy in me is intersted.

[Obama]

The thing is E3 doesn't start until SONY says so.

but seriously, while Ubisoft conference wasn't that great it is certainly better than MS's.

[Pistolero]

No way...Microsoft's was better in my opinion...I loved getting to see Gears 3, Halo Reach and the other games....as well as finding out about the awesome Xbox 360 S....then there was the Natal stuff that was pretty interesting.

[Darkfiber]

Ubisoft got a D, Microsoft got a D-. At least Ubisoft's was somewhat entertaining and watchable, Microsoft's was just painful. It was just getting raped, I just wanted it to end so I could go cry in the shower for two hours.

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

Disastrous. I was about to crown MS press conference as the worst today but Ubisoft totally sucked on almost all fronts. Shaun White Skateboarding on crack and laser freakin' tag. To top it off a repeat demonstration of that horrible kinect fitness game. E3 2010 will be remembered as the worst ever.

[The_Firestarter]

E3 2010 will be remembered for being the worst ever...for day 1 conferences.

E3 2010 will be remembered for being the greatest ever...for day 2 conferences.

Mark my words...mark my damn words...

[m23]

The only things that interested me at Ubisoft were Ghost Recon, Assassin's Creed and Shaun White's game. I liked Microsoft's conference as well, but I was definitely disappointed. The Gears gameplay was awesome, Reach blew me away (I'm a big fan of Halo), Fable looked good, and that Crytek game looks really interesting. The Kinect part was not so great, I'm interested in the technology, but the games were crap.

[Mahr]

This might very well go down in history as the worst E3 ever.

[Cryptech]

Whats with the kinect exercise demo? I mean her avatar was an orange blob with no detail at all. If I am playing that I would at least want to see me on the screen. Too much to ask?

[Darkfiber]

Funny how everyone was saying this would be the best E3 ever 10 minutes before the press conferences started yesterday. I knew it would be sh*t, all this motion control kiddy game gimmick crap. This is gaming from now on, get used to it. Microsoft's crap to hardcore game ratio was about 4 to 1 this E3, which means they're will be 4 crappy Kinect games per hardcore game from now on, and they'll be putting 4 times as much money into Kinect games than hardcore games. Hopefully Sony has something good for us, no one wants this motion control crap. Seriously, how retarded are these companies? They can't do a simple search online for 2 seconds to realize that NO ONE wants this sh*t? I hope they don't sell so they'll go back to making normal games, but something tells me they'll keep pouring money into this sh*t regardless. Microsoft is so brainwashed into thinking people actually want this stuff that they are trying to force it down our throats. Well it's not going to work for this guy. Never paying a cent for Kinect, Move or Wii. This is not gaming, this is kids toys that even kids don't want to play with. Seriously, laser tag? Kids don't want that, kids want Halo.
