Ubisoft gave a surprising conference that came out with some games I never knew I wanted and some games we've all been wanting for a while. They have definitely caught my attention.
The Plus
+ Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
The pure premise of this game bogged me down and all the leaks didn't get me hyped, Rabbids were the Minions of the gaming world, I never hated Rabbids but they aren't exactly the bet measure of anything outstanding, but as soon as the trailer hit I was in. Not only does the game exude buckets of character and charisma but it is also a strategy game, think XCOM except it's Mario and Rabbids and it looks delightful and fun. I honestly can't wait to play this and it is definitely a system seller for the Switch in my eyes.
+ South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Yes, this was shown last year and the trailer didn't really show us anything new but I was disappointed in the continuous pushing back of the release date but the game still looks funny and fun to play, I hope they stick to this release date this time.
+ Transference
As I thought Fallout 4 in VR might be the pinnacle for VR this year we get to see this extremely intriguing and possible ground breaking game that breaks the fourth wall of playing a game in VR, with the inclusion of Elijah Wood I'm very excited to see where this project goes.
+ Skull & Bones
It's nice to see that the rumblings of the possible pirate game based on the Assassins Creed Black Flag mechanics has finally happened, where Assassins Creed has burnt me out Skull & Bones comes from its ashes and has me intrigued, it'll be fun to see what the reception is to this and if it'll be worth the money.
+ South Park: Phone Destroyer
A free(ish) South Park Stick Of Truth/Fractured But Whole mobile game? Doesn't sound bad at all. No wonder Fractured But Whole has been delayed so much!
+ Beyond Good & Evil 2
IT HAPPENED GUYS, ITS HAPPENING! REJOICE PRAISE UBISOFT PRAAAIISEEE!
The Minus
- Assassin's Creed Origins
Yep, still the same, the second conference we've seen this at and it still has failed to impress me in anyway, that's not a good record.
- The Crew 2
Another driving game, granted it is the most interesting looking one thus far but another one nonetheless.
- Steep: Road to the Olympics
I forgot Steep was a thing, I didn't even know it came out so with that sort of reception you would think Ubi would know that it wouldn't be worth showing on the main conference.
- Just Dance 2018
ERRGHH Every year they show us a new Just Dance game, if I am criticising driving games for the fact that most gamers aren't driving fans then I most definitely going to say to Ubisoft READ THE ROOM people who go to these conventions do not want to watch a dance number on stage, if they want to show the game show it after or before the main conference, not during.
Overall Ubisoft really shocked me with their conference and unexpectedly excited for the games they will be bringing out very soon.
