Yeah I agree they def could. It's a shame this year it won't be a thing but I think it will return. While there's something to be said for wanting to 'rise above the noise' of a packed week of announcements, there's also an awful lot to be said for having customers around the world more focused on game news than they are usually. Crucially it generates excitement.

Ubisoft clears up E3 attendance confusion | Eurogamer.net
Ubisoft confirms their attendance at E3 2023Comment
-
The conversation inside major publishers marketing departments now shifting to 'Well we don't want to leave Ubi an open goal...'
And this is how we always end up coming back round to E3 being a thing (before everyone decides it's a waste of money again - then that they can't afford to miss it, and so on...).Comment

Ubisoft is so keen atm for a hit that presumably they'll just have one or two high profile games at SGF then blowout at E3 in an effort for attention. I'm not even sure what I'd want to see from them at this point. I know Mirage is aimed to be an overdue return to old school AC gameplay but I'm just broadly switched off on that franchise at this point. Splinter Cell would be good but it would have to be a modern take on the original trilogy style, the slightest sniff of the Ubisoft Random Game Generator vibe and I'm out these days which has lately been pretty much their entire output.Comment

And Ubisoft pulls the plug on attending, setting up their own show instead

-Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
Ubisofts small games are more interesting than their AAA's quite often so willing to keep an eye on this one
-Mortal Kombat 1
Much like the last three it looks like an improvement gameplay wise but still very Mortal Kombat which is fair enough but has always kept them with a short lifespan for me
-Nicolas Cage
Just hats off for him being there, reminds me of when Keanu made his Cyberpunk reveal. Nice touch
-Remnant II
I never played the first, this looked like a ton of stolen ideas
-Sonic Superstars
This looks really nice, hope it holds up
-Lies of P
Looks nice but lost me with Soulsborne as the game typeComment

Nice surprise was Sonic Superstars, sega's take on new super mario bros.... though for full priced game it only has 4 player local co-op and i'm hoping we get another origins like pre-order spreadsheet,
other than that MK1 looked neat, the new gameplay thing is Strikers (see MVC2 or KoF) with old characters in classic costumes like Kano which tingled the old nostalgia nose.. but it still plays like MK so it hard pass for me, just don't like them.
FF7 Remake 2 trailer also looked nice be warned that reveal at the end is like film trailer spoiling a major plot point out of nowhere, i mean sure it cool thing to wheel in people not interested in the remake but like FF7 still, but i'm in the house already and really didn't want to know that.
I'll be getting Nic Cage in DBD (as a daily player of the game)
Lies of P, i've downloaded the demo and till try at some point tonight.
Twisted metal tv looked terrible, witcher s3 - who cares, sony stinking it up with nothing burger Spiderman2 bit, immortals still looks bad.Last edited by Tobal; 08-06-2023, 21:59.Comment
