E3 2014: We're Talking Over the Ubisoft Press Conference

Aisha Tyler is pretty good when not ramping up the "girl-wood".

Love how fast these are put up!

Man I wish I could watch any of these "We're Talking Over" videos... but with that Download option not being there or being busted prevents any of that from happening..

Edit: Well turns out there is a valid reason and I was just being greedy and impatient.

WEEEEEEEEEEDDDDD

Thanks a lot for putting these up so quickly, Drew.

I must admit, that Penis is distracting...

drew gettin' work done, son!

Content h-h-here I come

@mason20: what is the reason?

@nixon34: This is what Drew has said about the issue on another video. The Microsoft conference I think..

They won't be downloadable until we can upload our own recorded versions.

We wanted to get these up ASAP, so we're basically pulling in the server-side archives from our livestream service (which are not downloadable), rather than using our own uploads (which, since we're streaming all day, we're currently unable to upload). We'll be uploading our own versions later, hopefully in the next day or so.

Thanks for getting this up so quickly. Was going to pull an all nighter but fell asleep during EA's conference

Goddamnit, I was telling myself to not get excited for Ubisoft titles like Assassin's Creed and Far Cry if only because how homogenized they've become, but I'm still getting hyped, especially after that Far Cry 4 teaser and the new villain.

I want Aisha Tyler to be my wife.

How does Aisha Tyler keep getting the Ubisoft gig?

waaaaaaaaahahaha 420 weed bro

I think you've just summed up all forum comments ever. /highfive

I am so sick of Ubisoft's bullshit co-op pipe dream. It's common across the board these days but Ubisoft in particular are such big offenders when it comes to an idealized cooperative experience that's barely a reality.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-e-e-e-e-ed!

I hate the VO for this and The Division.

cursing is not cool

But did you see her t-shirt? It had a girl and a bone on it. Totally not girl-wood.

On topic of the actual conference, I'd say it was actually weirdly good and consistent despite some of the awkward dialogue. I am a little tired of how every game Ubisoft is putting out has to contain some form of co-op multiplayer experience. The Division also looked completely underwhelming this time around compared to last year where it looked amazing. But in traditional Ubisoft fashion, I expect all of these games to get a graphical downgrade come release (see Watch_Dogs and Far Cry 3).

Highlight of the show has to be shorts guy. It does actually look like he realised he was wearing them after giving Aisha Tyler a hug.

that dance bit made me wish someone had a gun.

@mrcraggle: For all its cringe-worthy-ness, I was enjoying it, but the obviously staged, super-scripted, totally not pre-alpha "Pre Alpha Multiplayer Match" at the end completely soured me. I'm cool with staged run-throughs with canned voiceover, but at least be honest about it. Expecting anyone to believe that what we saw was "Pre-Alpha" level gameplay and architecture is just plain insulting.

Thank you, @drewbert !!!

Just Dance section is pretty awkward with Drake also in the room.

He was actually open-minded about while the guys were just trying to be good friends.

The amount of snark in this one is almost unbearable. Jesus guys!

Aisha Tyler is being very grating and awful. Has Ubisoft ever had a good host?

my wife says this exact thing to me all the time.

Alex just seems like the most cynical miserable fun-hating bastard ever born.

Tom Clancy games YES and Far Cry 4 can't wait.

Ubisoft really hates all gamers.

@death_burnout: Everyone is on that bandwagon right now. Even Sony was talking about their vision of completely multiplayer and socially-connected player bases, or some such. I am not a fan of this approach, but so long as some the games can still be enjoyed solo, it's ok.

John Drake can say what he wants, but Just Dance is on all platforms while Dance Central gets quarantined onto Kinect. I like Dance Central more but if I need an Xbone to get the new one then I won't ever be playing it. Dance Central is also the best selling game by miles and miles.

But yes...my wife and I are bitter that Dance Central isn't coming to PS4 in any form. Clearly its not a Microsoft thing as MS doesn't own the IP and they aren't publishing even the new one.

Ubisoft... Ubisoft.... UUUUBIIIISOOOOOFTTTT!!!!

Anybody know why it sounds like a rocketship is talking off at around the 33 minute mark? I keep hearing this 'bwaaaaaaaaaaaawwm' sort of sound in this coverage, am I just crazy?

@nidzumi said:

when will people learn that cursing on stage does not make them "edgy" or give them "cred".

WEEEEEEEEEEED

Honestly, i would rather have a host that loves games, then a bunch of ceos just talking for an hour. UBIsoft is the one conference i get excited about year after year.

I heard Aisha at a Comic-Con, she was alright when she wasn't trying to upsell stuff.

@soap: I agree. Im sure its hard to balance, but they should cut back AAAA BIT.

Is Alex on Giant Bomb to be a miserable cynic, say "fuck" a lot and then chide others who say it themselves? I love Giant Bomb, but he is just annoying as piss.

What was that 'driving in the past' stuff about? I didn't get the reference.

I feel like I learned some stuff.

Assassins Creed is set in the past and Drive Club has cars.

Also back to the future?

Oh, I see. In that case... I still don't get it.
