#E3 NEWS! 1st day recap part 2


E3 2012 continue!
Let's have a look at what Ubi's showed this year!
First, Assassin's Creed!

I'm trying to avoid spoilers and watching too much, but this new Assassin's Creed 3 is shaping up quite nicely!

Here's an all-new CGi trailer:



...and because Ive got so much hype for it, here's another more cinematic and less spoiler-y trailer:




It seems the game will be oustanding!
It will include some new elements such as naval warfare and a complete and realistic weather system. (the weather in past games was more locally and settings generated, to set the mood during the story).


And here's some gameplay just for comparison, to see how more improved and realistic it is now:



And accompanying this title there will be a 2nd Assassin's Creed game, on a portable system. Like with much of the previous titles.

This time something more original though.


Assassin’s Creed III Liberation will be an exclusive episode for the Vita.
But unlike past PSP and DS game it won't feature Altair or Ezio, or bring Connor from the main new episode on a portable adventure.

Instead it will have new story that takes place in New Orleans and stars the series’ first ever female heroine!
How cool is that! I've been hoping to see some more new characters and original protagonists on portable episode. And now I see it will have this kickass lady as main character - something I'd have even preferred in a main episode.

Anyway this looks like 1 definitive good reason to get this console! (like I wrote here in the past, I need at least 5 good reasons to wanna invest in a new system)





Sony already announced a bundle with the game, something that will sell some consoles no doubt!

Meanwhile, the new Rayman gets explained and new infos.


Rayman Legends seems to be confirmed for almost all possible systems. (Wii U, PS3, 360, 3DS, Vita, etc.)
But only the Wii U version's been showed, as well as it's Wii U exclusive aspects, such as using the screen-gyroscopic controller, etc.
A new returning character from Rayman 2 named Murphy.
And more!


The game is a direct sequel to Origins and will sport more of the same kind of gorgeous 2D graphics. I'm not a big fan of the new shading. But it looks great nonetheless!

Check this out, there's some mix of 2D and 3D here and there, and it looks fantastic!

But WAIT!
That's not all!
Some other ips have returned, such as Sam Fisher!


Splinter Cell Blacklist looks simply amazing!
It seems it will have a new engine, and spotlight the best gameplay elements of the franchise so far.
I hope for more Conviction that Double Agent personally.
Also a core element from the series has been announced integrated into the gameplay now. What could it be...?


Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist will be out next year.
It will bring some more Assassins Creed element to the series, with more walls and buildings being climbable!

Welcome to Forth Echelon...



Can't wait to see Sam back in action!

And that is not all!
Ubi also announced some new ips unlike many others.

Such as Watch Dogs.
It will be an action thriller that plays like an open-world "superhero" game. With tech and gadgets at your services.

Here's a trailer:



No systems yet.
It does look great though.

And if that wasn't enough for ya, there's also a more simpler and mindless fun game, ZombiU for Wii U!
Don't disregard it due to its title though.


Looks legit to me!

It seems this one was built from the remains of  Killer Freaks from Outer Space, Ubisoft's former Wii U horror exclusive -shown at E3 last year - which has been canned and recycled it seems.
This could well be a nice surprise for next year!



It looks like a Dead Island meet Dead Rising mix. And it is being developed at Ubi Montpellier!

And that is all for this post!
