On to Ubisoft:

I love how they start with a Rabbids short and then leave the audience to sit around twiddling their thumbs for five minutes.
Far Cry 4 of course looks great but that was just the antagonist cut scene trailer. I did love how Dan Hay said "You're fucked." Ha.
I love Aisha Tyler. That is all.
I don't care about Just Dance. The smartphone app stuff seems really innovative and awesome but how much movement can your phone in one hand be recognized?
So, all they show of The Division is a CG movie? Come on guys!
The Crew looks great and appears to be incredibly fun. I'm looking forward to it. One week before Far Cry though? That's weird. Ubisoft seems to enjoy competing with sales between their own franchises. I know they are completely different but, really?
ACU looks great but I'm so behind in that series I don't see myself playing that game anytime soon. That sucks because the game seems built around co-op and by the time I get to it no one will be playing. It is what it is.
Some time during the ACU showing the audio completely desynched from the video and it's very annoying.
So Shape Up is basically and exercise game meets DDR? Weird but interesting. Again, I'm sure Ubisoft is stoked MS dumped the Kinect.
I still have no idea what Valiant Hearts is going to be.
Rainbow Six looks boobies!!!:rc56:

You have no interest in The Division? Halo? Sunset Overdrive? Uncharted?

The list goes on and on of the great things we saw on Monday. Its like you don't even like games

I thought the Division looked pretty mediocre from a gameplay perspective. Same ol' TC just different story line. The Siege on the other hand looks fresh and unlike any other RB6, if anything it's going to be reminiscent of the originals which is a good thing. So overall I would agree there really wasn't a lot of huge reveals. I also find it a little disheartening to hear a crowd cheer when a developer announces that a game will be played at a "silky" 60fps. If console gaming wants to be respected they gotta stop this nonsense. 60fps is shit and should at the very least be expected, not celebrated. But, graphics > gameplay on consoles.

Still love E3 tho, especially when new consoles are out.

Doom has me interested but the stupid resident evil voice over intro was so poorly done.
Whats the timing of this ?
