- Starts off in the perspective of the antagonist, Voss.
- Shifts to protagonist and demo begins.



- You get to kill Tigers in the game.... wonder what PETA has to say about that (knowing that they were up-in-arms about a rat being killed in BF3).

- Traversing cliffs edges and trees.
- The 'real' enemies are the Templar's. You'll be fighting for both sides during and after the War. Question asked by a Brit whether we're the enemies in this game, was wondering myself >.<

--> Talking about E-Sports whilst making shit jokes.... typical Ubisoft. There was a girl vs guy joke in there somewhere. Someone might want to stop this now before they add a geriatric joke.

--> CS player/shotcaster on stage to try Shootmania
- CS players basically.
- Teams are split Boys vs. Girls.
- These guys don't look like typical CS players, but I couldn't care less about E-Sports so....



- Typical twitch shooter look and feel.

- Free to play (I think).

--> Co-founder and CEO of Ubisoft on stage.

- Watch Dogs; new IP.......trailer seems confusing but revolves around a computer security/surveillance network infrastructure :S Talking about blackouts and hacking
- Based in 'open world' city, NYC maybe?
- Gameplay demo looks like GTA IV so far, vibrant city, with lines for gallery openings etc.
- Player used phone to hack into security, to enter without being checked.



- Ubisoft seems to be having sound problems, hearing gun shots even though nothing's going on, on screen :S
- Using own phone to hacks others and their calls.



- Use phone to hack anything that can be hacked really.
- Gun combat, featuring cover system.




- Don't know if online or co-op, but can detect when someone's watching you. Gameplay shifts to person watching and asked to support main character.

- Honestly, looks f**king sick. I'm excited already. Nice one Ubisoft!!

Updated videos to working ones.

Watch_Dogs looks really cool! I'm not sure how the entire infrastructure thing works; but I'm sure that will all be explained when you play it :P

I REALLY wish it didn't really have gun combat, though! Maybe just silenced, stealth kills with a suppressed weapon. But, I think it would be much cooler to take down your enemies with melee, and also with the hacking thing :P somehow.

[Aryon]

If the developers are smart, I imagine they'd have multiple ways to deal with everything. More often than not, games including hacking usually go hand in hand with stealth. So if they remove the ability to play somewhat stealthily, a few people probably won't be too happy.

Arguably the best conference in E3 next to Nintendo.

[BritPatriot89]

God no (regarding Nintendo). Nintendo's has been the shittest, ever. Shit, actual shit is better than Nintendo this year.

THE WII-U'S ANNOUNCEMENT IS A BEAST!
The only thing that I hated at Nintendo's conference this year is the announcement of Nintendoland. God, I hate that game already!

[BritPatriot89]

That announcement was last year. They're new hardware's showcasing, really, was during their Pre-Show and Ubisofts press. Somewhat after Day 2, rumors are going round that ZombiU may be a timed exclusive. The good part of the Wii-U demo was on GT.com's All Access Live E3 show after the conference, with exclusive demos of various upcoming Wii-U titles. What they did show was a year-old game called Arkham City in the conference. They ended the conference with Nintendoland's fireworks as a finale. They hardly showed anything to die for (Pikmin, maybe... but they had to start the show good).

TRUST ME, Nintendo's conference was shit :P
