ubisoft did a better job than Microsoft that's for sure...

Conloles5826d ago

In what way Microsoft had about 3 good games compared to Ubisofts 2

ryuzu5826d ago (Edited 5826d ago )

Yeah Ubi > MS this year but MS set the bar very low so that wasn't difficult lol.

Ubi are also desparate to sell their Wii games again with Kinect.

What I found irritating though were their gimmicks.

AC - Ok let's throw in some GoW style fighting and some cannon scenario - not really in keeping with AC is it.

GR - Let's ignore the semi-realistic/tactical near future setting, and just throw in a predator suit so we can match Crysis/Thief/AvP blah blah.

Driver - Ok, people don't like crashing, let's just come up with a lame reason why the guy can jump into a car anywhere in the city.

Why make completely different games and stick names of known franchises on them? It just leads to dissappointment for those who liked the franchise as it was.

And then there was Shaun White .... Skateboarding???? It just reminded me why I'd like a JSRF remake and what was with the flying through the air crap? Better off getting an ET license than linking it with a Tony Hawk wannabe.

Seems like marketing has won over gameply this year so far....

I'll go even further with Ghost Recon;

1. Way to kill off first person view! Should u change the name to Gears Recon?

2. Point blank headshots with an assualt rifle? REALLY? Where's the (realistic) gratuitous blood splatter (that the enemies should SEE if nearby? Why not pull out a knife or pistol? Well...I guess that would make it too similar to Splinter Cell & you'd have to call the game Team Splinter Cell or something.

3. This game should look like a beast graphically-considering dev time spent, etc. Graphics were on par with Operation Flashpoint. : |
Medal of Honor haad my attention more though I know it's another CoD clone.

Where is the original GiantEnemyCrab. He isn't showing his face it seems.

Uhh, no. Ubisoft's was HORRIBLE, and just plain embarrassing. Microsofts was just plain boring, but Ubisofts was the absolute worst conference ever held. Ghost Recon looked pretty bad ass, and assassin's creed brotherhood looked okay, but the rest of the conference was the biggest fail of any conference that has taken place.

At least Microsoft showed a decent amount of actual games. Sure, they are all stuff we've seen before, but they're not as bad as Ubisoft's LAME ASS laser tag game, or their Michael Jackson game (of which they showed absolutely NO gameplay, and instead, some crappy dance number), or some pointless "breathing" game. Not to mention Shaun Whites crappy new game.

I know it's the cool thing to hate Microsoft, but their conference is definitely not the WORST. If you think MS conference was worse, you obviously did not watch Ubisofts.

I liked Child of Eden at the very start and I noticed he was wearing white gloves at the end. Does Kinetic need something white to focus on to work properly?

Trackmania's been around for ages.

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.
