FrieChamp Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 The publisher promotion events continue and this time it's Ubisoft's turn with "Ubidays 2007" (is it just me or have these single publisher held events gained a lot more importance since E3 has been smashed to pieces?). There is new footage of games such as Assassin's Creed, Haze and Brothers in Arms 3, but also a bunch of completely new games have been reveiled: "Splinter Cell: Conviction", "Tom Clancy's: End War" and "Rayman Raving Rabbits 2" ( ). http://www.gametrailers.com/ has pretty much all the media. Any thoughts on the games? Who else thought the "End War" trailer looked pretty cool but still has no idea what the game actually is? Quote
Sa74n Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 i really like the assassins creed trailer. this game is gonna be great. and scc looks pretty awesome visually. i hope they have a proper story to go with the look of the game. Quote
Furyo Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Yeah UbiDays is Ubi's response to the death of E3 as we knew it. Naruto is the one game that stands out from the rest from my point of view. Most definitely the best looking, in its own genre that is. Quote
ReNo Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 I'm certainly intrigued by End War, hopefully it will approach the RTS genre from a different angle as that seems to be their plan. Bit concerned about the apparently near 100% voice command controls, but they said you can use a pad as well so it should be fine. Fingers crossed it is mix and match rather than forcing you to pick one of the two systems though. Naruto sounds cool, and I like the series and Gamecube games, so seeing a company like Ubisoft having a crack at it certainly appeals to me. Nice to see somebody using the license for something a bit more ambitious than a beat-em-up. Not sure about the new Splinter Cell just yet - the trailer didn't leave me all that impressed. They are touting "active stealth" or whatever - blending into crowds and what not - but I haven't really seen any of it yet. I've got a lot of faith in the series though so I'll not condemn it based on one trailer Quote
Zacker Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Agreed, End War looks cool despite I have no clue what kind of game it is. Assissins Creed looks nice as usual and so does their producer;) Quote
Grinwhrl Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 I'm very impressed with the new Splinter Cell, it reminds me so much of Hitman Quote
NykO18 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 enlighten me here, what happend to E3? It's no more. Quote
Section_Ei8ht Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 I've always been a huge fan of the Tom Clancy games, so I'm psyched about EndWar and SC Conviction. Assassin's Creed is looking damn fine, as well. Quote
Izuno Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 enlighten me here, what happend to E3? It's no more. Well the E3 as we knew it is no more. Now E3 is pretty much a press / retailer / bank analyst only show with very little hooplah. Instead of being at the L.A. Convention Center with 70,000 attendees with mutlimillion dollar booths and all kind of crazy distractions, it's now strung across several hotels in the Santa Monca area (just west of L.A. city limit on the beach) and will be much quieter, cheeper, boringer... Tho still expect a fair amount of media come July when it's held. I went to 6 or 7 straight E3's...I am going to miss it, yet last couple years was so nutty that I'm kind of glad to get a breather before the next crazy show takes it's place. Cause it was still cool and especially to meet up with mapcorians over the years. Kudos to Ubi for pimpin their stuff in their own show. I'm most interested in Assassin's Creed. Quote
Sentura Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 but.. why?! i always wanted to go to a E3... it would be like a theme park for me Quote
NykO18 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Because it grew too fast, too big, too popular, too marketing and people who organise it where kinda afraid/bored/upset of what their event had become. Quote
Fletch Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Less talking about other games. More talking about BiA. Quote
