Extremelly boring and safe. "Assassin's Creed" Valhalla bored me to death.

More like Ubisoft Downwards.

 

[AV]

It's exactly what I would have expected from a Ubisoft show, to be honest, minus the opening dance. The Rayman dream is dead and Mario+Rabbids 2 will be a Nintendo announcement.

3 release dates in the next 7 months is pretty nice for those who like Ubi games. It was fine.

 

[Birdo]

Same tired old franchises. It's a meh from me.

 

[Qudrat Rabbi]

They have completely lost it. I bought 12 games from them at launch on ps4. Enjoyed only 1. This show proved that they are not changing for the better, not for me anyways.

 

[mcjmetroid]

I didn't watch the show but watched trailers from the games and for what it was, it was great.

Whoever does Ubisoft trailers deserves a raise. They are excellent. It tells you why you should be very excited for their games and most of the time showed you gameplay and you get a good feel for the game. They may show you.. too much? But that's a nitpick.

Of course these are Ubisoft games so I probably won't be into them but credit where credit is due. Good show from what I saw for those are into those games.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Waste of time as usual. I don't even know anymore why I bother with these shows. It's always the same boring formulaic shit from the same boring formulaic companies we're spoon feed to year by year. They couldn't even bother with something fun like Rayman. Fuck this shit.

[Danjin44]

Nothing for me on that show, I wish they would do Mario + Rabbits 2 someday.

 

[HE1NZ]

Meh. Bring back E3. These bite size presentations scatered over months don't work.

 

[sxodan]

It was OK, no more no less. I actually liked Valhalla but just can't see myself playing Watch Dogs, no matter how good it looks.

 

[LarknThe4th]

It was shit, like many of these "AAA" Producers who cant seem to put together a product that is compelling in any way

Safe, boring and bloated

Thank the lord for console exclusives they are by design meant to be riskier and thus end up infinitely more interesting

When Nintendo started the Directs in 2013: "Nice! If this pans out, every company will adopt this format and leave the cringe-worthy live shows in the past."
Literally any other company today that isn't Nintendo: "Holy shit, that was terrible! Please give us the cringe-worthy live shows back."

FYI, I'm a PC gamer. I just think Nintendo does it better.
EDIT: Devolver also does it well. Mainly because they found their own style instead of unironically ripping off Directs.

 

[MetalRain]

I think they have good games coming up, but making short movie about upcoming game seems unnecessary.

 

[Spaceman292]

The pre rendered trailers for Far Cry 6 and Watchdogs 3 were stylish as hell but they're not gameplay so who cares.

 

[Solid Bra]

I got tired of these cgi trailers, ubisoft or any gaming company should stop using cgi trailers, i feel like I've been fooled, when i saw the gameplay for watch dogs after the cgi trailer, i thought it was a ps3 game, + the lip reading is soo bad, is this ps3 + ps2 era?

 

[whitesugar]

isn't one game i would look forward to playing. i would give a few of them a go if/when they were on gamepass or + but i definitely wouldn't outright buy any of them. not seeing a step forward i any way from where these games were years ago

 

[Hudo]

The biggest fuck you was "Well, we've got another stream later this year!". And they said this during the same stream. Then why the fuck would you have this stream, when you've got more to announce but are (seemingly?) not ready? Like, what the fuck?

 

[New Yorks Finest]

Legion somewhat got my attention. Most likely day one, looks gorgeous.

 

[Steve.1981]

I've enjoyed the recent Assassin's Creed, Far Cry & Watch Dogs titles. The new entries look cool, at first glance. Nothing else caught my attention.

It was an ok showing.

 

[Denton]

It was poor, but then again so were almost all Ubi showcases. WD Legion was mediocre and rest uninteresting to me. If there was some good, fresh looking gameplay from new Splinter Cell and FarCry and some cool new IP...but there was nothing of the sort.

 

[Faithless83]

IMHO the non bearded version looks weird...

 

[gow3isben]

Wait I thought the male Eivor had a beard? Can you customize?

 

[GymWolf]

Well let's see.

A cg presentation for fc6 (ubisoft probably internally call this cinematic gameplay trailer...)
30 minutes of what it looks like alpha or beta unimpressive footage for valhalla
Aaaaand...watch dogs diversity edition

My score is 4 covered harassments in the office out of 10.

 

[GymWolf]

Wait I thought the male Eivor had a beard? Can you customize?

That is the...female eivor...

 

[Bonfires Down]

Legion looks like great fun. Valhalla looks ok, don’t really feel like I need more AC games unless they switch up the formula or have a really compelling setting.

 

[Stilton Disco]

I fast forwarded through it and was still bored. They just feel like they've run out of ideas and originality.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Farcry looked cool.

But making a cinematic trailer vs making a whole game are two different things. If it's a rehash with just story bits of decent quality, it would be a no go for me. Its pretty much an unknown.

Solid 2/10.

 

[Faithless83]

That is the...female eivor...

 

[GymWolf]

Yep, this is the man version
