gaf is down so I don't know when it is.

Poorly hidden announcement is Splinter Cell Black List.  Looks to be Conviction 2.

I still haven't played Conviction.

I've never played a Splinter Cell game. I remember playing a demo of the first one on the original Xbox, but that was it.

Things this game has going against it, in my opinion:

- Game looks awful graphically
- No drunken Michael Ironside
- The HUD is absolutely terrible
- Airstrikes? What in the fuck
- WHAT DOES HE NEED NIGHTVISION GOGGLES FOR? IT'S BRIGHT AS SHIT OUTSIDE.

Maybe my standards are pretty low from Japanese HD games, but that looks pretty good to me.  Looks sharp and detailed with good character models.

This series peaked (tremendously) with Chaos Theory. Don't care for automated combat scenarios. (Re-)Play Chaos Theory instead.

Chaos Theory is a truly good game, and I am not a fan of stealth games

The soundtrack to Chaos Theory by Amon Tobin is amazing as well. In the game it's cut up and works on cues n stuff like you'd imagine a video game to do, but the OST is a great collection of music. there was a swell remix album as well.

yeah, PT introduced the spy vs mercs.  Chaos Theory improved it and added co-op (which is great too).

"Sam Fisher is no longer hiding in the shadows. He’s taking the fight to the enemies of the United States in plain daylight, and he’ll do it by any means necessary. Whether through more traditional, conventional stealth tactics, or by blowing everything up in sight, the notion of variety and choice dominates the landscape of Splinter Cell Blacklist. That’s a good thing considering the formidable task at hand."

I played the first Splinter Cell on gamecube, and it became one of my favorite games. I don't think I played any of the sequels though. At the time I thought the game's story was pretty interesting, and I loved the gameplay. Perhaps I'll get the second on for PC.

this might explain the weird name for that wiiu zombie game


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombi_%28video_game%29

Quote
Zombi is an icon-driven arcade adventure computer game. It was Ubisoft's first publication, released when the company was established in 1986.

Quote
A first-person arcade adventure, it draws inspiration from the George A. Romero film Dawn of the Dead; the player controlling four protagonists exploring a zombie-filled shopping mall. It draws from many parts of the film, including the gunshops, the escalators, and the articulated trucks used to block the entrances. If a character's health was depleted, he turned into a zombie, which then roamed the room they died in. Zombies can also be killed either by numerous body shots, or a single shot to the head. Characters were named after the creators of the game.


PS3 version again? not bad

As someone who watches a ton of esports (StarCraft 2), this looks horrible. Very brown, lots of range play, and I really can't see much of any skill here. I don't like Halo, but I've watched it and it makes sense mainly because it's spectator friendly. This looks sooo forced

Watched the video, don't see anything that doesn't look X360/PS3.

It looks like GTAIV with better animation, nice weather effects, and Hitman style city people.  Looks nice, but nothing really beyond current gen stuff.  You have to realize these are the same people who put out AC which visually looked beyond anything when first shown.  Ubi has great animation/graphics people.

Post by: Pringo on June 04, 2012, 08:15:55 PM
So I just watched the WatchDogs trailer and now I'm kind of confused. What system can that game possibly be for? The only current system that can handle that without being majorly gimped is the PC and I sincerely doubt Ubi would invest so much into a PC game like that. The only other conclusions I can see though are that the Wii U is significantly more powerful than expected or it's for another next gen console. Neither of those seem really likely though either. I dunno.

It'll be running on them, but it won't look that good.  That looks about what I'd expect from Wii U ie. not this gen, not next, couple built-in effects in hardware to make it fake being better than it really is (like 3DS).  So yeah, bridge game - probably on every platform under the sun.  But I doubt they'll even put it on Wii U.

I can believe the demo was running on a PC. I refuse to believe it's a game still set for current-gen consoles. It'd just look horrible stepping any further down than what was shown.

My guess is that it's running on PC because that's the only hardware they can admit it's on at the moment. Everything else is smoke and mirrors.

I am legitimately excited about Watch Dogs. It's open-world [which I always like], the shooting mechanic actually looks decent [which is a nice bonus], it's not the same old "you're a gang member shooting cops and dealing drugs" storyline that a lot of these games have, and the hacking angle looks like it can really open up a lot of really awesome gameplay opportunities [which is the major selling point for me]. So, yeah, for the first time since E3 starting, I'm all in.

I am hoping you can play Watch Dogs more ike an open world Adventure game and not a gang/shooting game.

i have a feeling this is ubisoft making the game seem open and spontaneous than it really is.  bet its a mission fail if you dont cause that car crash.

Have you been paying attention to this generation at all?

I try to avoid all the soulless AAA releases.

Watch Dogs reminded me a bit of Gemini Rue minus the sci-fi.

If I lived in the watch dogs universe the main character could use his cellphone to tap into a hidden camera that could see the boner I got from watching the watch dogs trailer

And if it's on Wii U, you could see your boner on a screen that's on top of your boner.

???  It looks like a modern-day Ass Creed.  Has Ubi all over it.  They are master turd-polishers.

So, from the sound of things, Ubisoft had by far the best conference because they actually showed off a few interesting games.

Well, it won't look that good on Xbox360/PS3, that's for sure.

We really don't know how large that environment was. If that was an enclosed mission that ends when you jump the bridge then I can see how they're working it for current gen stuff.

I'm watching the direct video of watch dogs.  Can current consoles do bokeh? I remember that's a feature in Just Cause 2 PC and one of the highlights of Good Samaritan.  When he does the slow mo shooting, all the lights get that effect.  Or it's just dof and I'm reading too much into it. 

The fire reminds me of the Killzone 2 CG fire.  Parts of it remind me of the fake Eight Days trailer too.  Next gen is living up to Sony's lies for this gen  :omg

ok, maybe not the fire

You can fudge a lot of it, but there's a lot of stuff you can't do on current gen consoles, specifically the way they're doing reflections.

That's the one aspect that blared out at me as high end PC versus current gen consoles. It looked fairly nice but it looks pretty jarring how it snaps back and forth. Though this is probably due to how fast the reticule moves in distance.

Do you not get the feeling that, like AssCreed, Uncharted and many other 'new launch window AAA franchises' Watch Dogs will be an interesting test run before a killer sequel? It seems unlikely that they'll be able to get all the new game mechanics clicking AND get the actual content in line AND work with a new engine.

That's the only thing keeping my tumescence in check. Other than not being interested in crappy open-world driving, that is

The first Assassin's Creed had very good core gameplay, but it didn't have much variety which kills the whole point of a sandbox game. I think Watch Dogs will be similar. I remember AC was also announced right as we were transitioning to this generation so they're probably looking to make a big, new franchise out of this. Just showing off the graphics at this point.

MOTHER OF FUCK. I clicked the related "sleeping dogs" and stepped a generation back (to current consoles).

Watch Dogs was clearly running on PC/WiiU.

"Idea for WatchDogs game. What if you could hack a electronic road sign to say 'I love you' as you're driving past it with your loved one?"

Is it wrong that when I read about this thread I thought Watch Dogs was Skylanders but with dogs that you can strap on your wrist or something. I didn't expect this from Ubisoft.

According to the french guy running Ubisoft, this is a PC, PS3, and 360 game.  Confirmed demo was running on PC.
