Ubisoft kicked off its press conference with Alice in Chains’ Jerry Cantrell showing off Rocksmith 2014. Cantrell showed off the game’s Kinect functionality, which allows players to select specific instruments to rock out with. He also used voice commands to highlight the games’ Session mode, which allows players to alter the tempo.
Insider Gaming - "Ubisoft has cancelled yet another game, this time ending development on the Animal Crossing-inspired title Alterra."
HALIFAX (April 14, 2026) – Laid-off Ubisoft workers in Halifax have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a settlement with the video-game giant. The terms of the settlement, including the compensation employees will receive, is confidential.
I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.
Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.
But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
so totally bummed i missed the first few minutes of the conference! this looks actually really neat
i liked the last one, so would like to try this one.
That Man in the Box solo was tasty! He was using a wah though, i wonder will pedals be compatible with the game? I'd love to hook it up to my pedalboard!
love rocksmith, just started playing my bass with it after beating it with guitar my guitar.
jerry Cantrell man just yeah. gotta love alice in chains (rip layne, this new stuff sucks without your lyrics)
Anyone notice Ubisoft and EA took cues from previous Microsoft E3 shows? I mean they were bringing out guests and weird people to show off games, glad Microsoft went in a different direction.
