Aisha Tyler in general
Just Dance performance

Everything else shown was a meh for myself tbh. I have no interest in AC or any of the Tom Clancy stuff shown.
 
Was kinda boring to be honest. Besides, we all know that they are notorious for delivering a vastly different gaming experience than presented on the stage compared to other companies.
 
Decent conference. A few missteps and cringe worthy moments, but still solid overall. The ball is in Sony's court to blow us all way.
 
Not a bad conference but I was hoping for either some Beyond Good & Evil or Prince of Persia. Anno looks good, Siege looks fun and The Division is intriguing. For Honor seems like a dull Chivalry and Ghost Recon looks too similar to too many other Ubisoft shooters.
 
Aisha Tyler murdering RenFaire Ezio in the audience was pretty good. She's such a good host. Hope when one of the white dudes who host late night TV keels over someone gives her a shot. She's great on the crappy daytime talk show they stuck her on, she's great here, she's great on Whose Line. Aisha Tyler 10/10 now 10/10 forever. Overall a pretty good conference with good pacing and some strong content, better than usual for Ubisoft. Pretty happy with it.

Spot on. She's really great.
Agreeing with your conclusion, too. That was rock-solid perfomance with strong amd weak segments, Overall I'd give a B.
 
My rankings so far:

Microsoft: B+
Ubisoft: B+
EA: B-

Never managed to watch Bethesda's unfortunately since it was at 3am lol and was at school all day unfortunately.
 
Best conference so far, but please, don't be too hard with EA, after all they shown good games (PvZ2, M'sE, Battlefront, NfS) ....
together with the sport stuff that could have been summed up in much, much less time. oh, I was forgetting ... the mobile "stuff" ...
 
A couple of decent things but for me, it's Ubiisoft so until I see reviews of final code what I've seen doesn't really mean anything.

South Park: The Fractured But Whole: 8/10. I have no interest in South Park and didn't play the first game, but this was a pleasant surprise. Seems like a high quality licensed product and an interesting concept for a followup to Stick of Truth. I really appreciated Trey and Matt immediately shitting on the goofy looking mics, it's a good thing. Aisha Tyler is such a great host, she handled a real, unscripted moment really well.

For Hono(u)r: 9/10. This was pretty cool. Like a mashup of a Musou type game and Chivalry stuff and the AC combat animations. Demoed well. A lot of the games doing well that feel like this are made by smaller companies, it'll be interesting to see what a full price retail package looks like in the genre.

The Crew DLC: 0/10. No one asked for this.
Trials Fusion DLC: 6/10. Pretty cool trailer, like the Blood Dragon team got creative input on Trials Fusion DLC.

The Division: 1/10. Frankly this is a really good concept for a game that looked visually amazing on reveal and has been absolutely boring ever since. This is year three of the same demo with the same cover shooting, the same fake staged teamplay stuff. It shocks me how dull this seems.

Anno 2205: 10/10. This looked brilliant. Excellent, beautiful visual design, a logical expansion in scope of the series. The moon colony looked spectacular. This is easily Ubi's best and most reliable property. Best-of-breed for sure. And I'm so glad they gave time to a genre that's not normally associated with public-facing demos.

Just Dance: 2/10. Another year, another live music performance (Jason DeRulo is most notable for singing his own name in his songs), and it's still not a good game. *shrugs* The streaming karaoke service is unusual, not sure it'll quite work as well as karaoke music does. By far the most interesting thing of the Just Dance segment, anyway.

Rainbow Six Siege: 7/10. CG trailer was stupid, made me think Splinter Cell or conventional Rainbow Six. Angela Bassett is a-ok but I'm not sure there's much point interviewing a VA for a shooter. It's a shooter. It's not a complicated narrative drama. The trailer was stupid because I thought this was a fun multiplayer-focused game about rescuing hostages from mini-mansions and the trailer and the interview makes it sound like a campaign shooter about global politics, which is like 87,500 times less interesting. The game demo was OK but less interesting then last year. I feel like this is a bigger project than I thought and that's going to make it less interesting than I thought. Maybe they just led with a scenario that I like better than the one they demoed here. Anyway, hope it turns out well.

Trackmania Consoles: 7/10. New environment looked ok, seemed fast enough, track building UI was good. Wish they had not cocked up the release on PC. What happened to Shootmania and RPGMania? LOL.

Assassin's Creed Syndicate: 2/10. Sorry Kabouter. I respect you as a person. These are not good or interesting games. Stupid Sware on me Mum, M8 level cartoonish Englishme. The use of guns in the series is so commonplace now it'll be a WW2 shooter before I notice. Seven cities? So that's what, one city for every five development teams working on it?

Rogue Warrior: Ghost Recon: Far Cry 6: The Division: Wow Brah I Blew Your Nuts Off with a Shotgun: Mercenaries are cool: My Stealth Option Is I Blow Up Your Entire Base with a Bomb: Adrenaline Junkie Drone Wars: Vote Bush 2016: A Tier 1 Special Op: Pre-Order Edition: Wow That Guy Did A Lot of HGH: A Pawn Stars Game: Damn How Many Bars You Gonna Fill?: 3/10. This was Ubisoft the game. I have rated it accordingly.

Perfect.
 
Really easy to get (even more) cynical about games watching through these conferences. Hints here and there of fun new concepts and games that could actually offer something unique or interesting. Hoping that the PC conference tomorrow will be more what I'm looking for, which seems less and less these kinda games.
 
So it seems Bethesda and Microsoft had good shows, Ubisoft was pretty good/decent and EA's SUCKED.

Overall E3 is pretty good so far. Some cool games shown and a lot of boring.
 
MS dropped some megatons though

they really didn't though... once the dust settled and you thought about it , it was like:

Halo
Gears
Forza
Fable
some other games (some did look quite good though no doubt)

SOME BC
SOME mods for FO4 (noone is sure how this would work)
expensive ass controller.

I give MS a bit higher mark due to daving some games for gamescom so it was pretty impressive given they are saving scalebound, crackdown.....
 
She's not bad but Mr. Caffiene brought unmatched cringe.

She's a decent host(and very cool outside of this), albeit a bit inconsistent, but she doesn't take herself seriously and knows she's gonna get shit no matter what, and can have some fun with that. It's not an easy job, especially playing to an audience like that.
 
Wildlands just stole all my interest from The Division. Hearing the characters talk about loot drops in the Division trailer made me realize it's going to likely have a much smaller set of environments littered with grindy missions for random loot drops.

Meanwhile Wildlands looks like it's taking a lot of the same gameplay concepts and putting them into a more expansive story-centric game. Either way though, I'm waiting for more actual gameplay closer to release before getting my hopes up.

True dat!
 
My favourite conference so far, GW2 and Battlefront are the 2 games i want most - but this conference was just so much better than all the rest, i really enjoyed it.
 
Maybe one day I can love Ubisoft again. Perhaps when they can stop dicking gamers over with broken games, missing features, and no support.

It wasn't a bad show by any stretch though. And as always, Aisha KILLED IT. Love her.

Gets a 6/10 from me.

Can't go any higher due to that absolutely horrendous Just Dance segment and my personal dislike of Aisha's hosting style.

Rainbow 6 underwhelmed too.

Agreed

Yeah, I like Aisha. I'm happy they keep bringing her back.
 
Aisha is simply wonderful.

Aisha plus a conferece with tons of seemingly good looking games and a couple of steam blowers (derulo and Angela Basset)?

Awesome conference. Very well done Ubisoft.




...no downgrades etc.
