E3 2014 bets thread

I give EA's conference a D-. They started off with a nice Star Wars video and then dropped the ball with boredom and showed absolutely nothing new with Mirror's Edge 2. Lame, very lame. Oh, and they had what, three new IPs?

Man, this has to be one of the weakest Ubisoft conferences in years. What happened? MS had a strong conference and Ubisoft had a weak one. Wow. Far Cry 4 looks amazing and my god, I want to climb Chartres Cathedral in Assassin's Creed Unity, but for the most part, this conference was mediocre at best. Yes, there were too many FMV trailers instead of gameplay trailers, but that is just the nature of the beast. My biggest issue though is too much multiplayer focus over single player focus. Anyway, hopefully we will see FC4 gameplay during the Sony conference. Overall, I give Ubisoft a B-.

Ubisoft just won E3 in my opinion. The only thing that could steal that title from them is if Sony just kills it tonight. But as far as I'm concerned, it's gonna be hard to do so.

They also swore a lot

Rainbow Six looks interesting enough, and I'm keeping my eye on The Crew, but so far it doesn't seem like it doesn't do enough to set itself apart from the likes of Need For Speed.

How did they win? They had very little. Most of what they showed were trailers, dancing, fitness, and multiplayer games, especially shooters. In fact, only one game was a new IP.

For me at least they were able to get my attention and interest by what they showed. I won't play everything and some of it is boring, but it didn't have me about to fall asleep. While there was very little gameplay, what they showed had me impressed. The trailers worked very well at getting my hyped up. So for me at least, they blew Microsoft and EA out of the water.

Well I guess this answers my concerns about AC: Unity...

Man, I wish fighting games were mainstream.

XW1n5t0nX · 06-09-2014, 06:38 PM

I thought fighting games were mainstream though?
