Talking Point: Was Ubisoft Forward a Show to Remember?

Avatar looks fine but no gameplay

I'm actually really excited about Mario + Rabbids though I shiver at the thought of Rabbid/Luma cross breeding

The Vaas expansion in Far Cry 6 looked pretty neat as someone who thought the most engaging of that series was Far Cry 3 partially because of Vaas

yeah that's basically it this was a total slog.

Looking forward to get into the sport game. Huge fan of the crew and steep games and the ride Republic seems like a nice follow up.

Far cry 6 looks amazing too.

It was a great show if you own all platforms. It was an okay show if you don't.

Ha, Avatar is the one thing I might have been interested in, and I left before they showed it.

@Floki Yeah wasn't Mario + Rabbids like the only Switch game they showed?

Gonna try Farcry6. It will be the first in the series for me.

Pretty good. Huge points for Mario+Rabbits and looking forward to Far Cry 6. Might even try out Riders' Republic.

Catched only very last minute, but from timeline text I think it's not worth watching whole.

Wasn't really for me but it definitely wasn't a bad show, most interested in Rider's Republic.

If you catch me lurking in another livestream chat please advise me to go do something constructive instead.

It was good to interact with the gang, but nothing really blew me away.

@Blacksmith1985 You should definitely play Far Cry 3 in preparation for Far Cry 6. You won't be disappointed.

I was disappointed that there was no mention of Beyond Good & Evil 2. The rest pretty much as expected.

What’s funny is that most of the games shown should of been released by now if it was not for COVID delays, where’s beyond good and evil 2 gone, I feel it has become vapourware

I thought it was awful. And their big reveal was an Avatar game?

Utter garbage, the only saving grace was Mario Rabbids. Far too much time spent on Rainbow 6, virtually no new games or gameplay footage. Frankly they could have not had a show and it would have been better for all concerned

I didn’t expect much from this show and got even less! Terrible show

@TheFrenchiestFry Mario+Rabbids was the only switch exclusive game they showed. But it wasn't the only switch game. Just Dance 2022 is also coming to the switch.

Mario + Rabbids 2 looks fantastic. It's going to be one of the prettiest games on the system.

Anyway, the rest sucked, but I got what I came for, so...

I'll remain open-minded about the Avatar game until we know more about it.

One day we'll get another Rayman sequel.

Rocksmith. Pretty much it.

@Floki Oh yeah

How can I possibly forget about Just Dance

I really hate how Rainbow 6 Extraction just felt like Rainbow 6 siege dlc.

nothing for me, well possibly Mario rabbids if I dust off the old switch. soaking of my switch where is it?

@TheFrenchiestFry Lmao.

My mom and sister love Just Dance. So it always exciting for them when a new one get announced.

Riders Republic and Far Cry 6 are the games I’m looking forward too.

So far no showing has been that good, Xbox tomorrow then Nintendo Tuesday so let’s see what that brings.
I like Ubisoft as I enjoy assassins creed Valhalla and will enjoy far cry 6, so I can’t complain to much.

I would say very good. Far cry 6 season pass and avatar were the highlights. I was just 9 years old when the movie came out and watched it at least 20 times since

1. Avatar was a nice surprise. Keep an eye for it.
2. FarCry6 is day 1 at this point.
3. I’ll take as much AC Valhalla as Ubi can make.
4. Hard to get excited about Mario+Rabbits after playing Troubleshooter... but at least Switch got something. Even if in 2022.

Why no Splinter Cell - c’mon Ubi!

@MidnightDragonDX Me neither and I was still disappointed. It was that bad.

Absolutely terrible. 80% was just announcing content for games that have been out several years now. Or a game that looks like glorified DLC.

Far Cry reached its peak with the third entry that polished what they'd done for Far Cry 2. All games after were just derivative reskins of the same systems plus the played-out ubi open world structure.

Mario + Rabbids was the only decent game on show, absolutely awful presentation.

It was fine, Rabbids is cute, and Avatar has promise, but what was up with the presenters' arm movements?

Looks like we're never ever never seeing splinter cell ever again.

Would have been nice to have seen another proper game come out on PS4 or 5.

I would of voted Very Poor until Mario And Rabbids 2 was announced.I bought my Switch FOR the original so I'm mega hyped for that!
Far Cry 6 which I'm excited for still...well to be honest I thought the graphics for the trailer looked like a ps3 game..but the dlc looks cool.Um,yeah WOW what a show...

I was pretty disappointed I stopped playing Ratchet and Clank to watch this lol the only good looking thing to me was Farcry which got like a 2-3 minute video and Avatar.

@arsmolinarc that's probably why they're trying to lure people in with the Vaas and Blood Dragon dlc lol

This company is stuck in a rut

Mario + Rabbids looks amazing, Riders Republic looks fun as hell and Avatar looks interesting. That's it haha.

@arsmolinarc couldn't agree more. It's always the one game in a franchise that makes a big ripple in the pond and later iterations just seem like derivatives. BUT they're actually are a good amount of exceptions , just not in Far Cry's case .

But on on topic though , I rather new IP's man . New things please . Make a new franchise thats not FPS or Open-world .

Didn't even bother watching it. I'm looking at all the games announced on a few websites and not a single thing came of it that interested me. So glad i didn't bother

The worst Ubisoft showing ever, for me.
They barely had anything new to show, the leaks didn't help them either. The new Rainbow Six is generic as all hell...
Watch Dogs and AC, dlc only so...meh!
LITTLE gameplay and a ton of cg trailers (seriously that crap should be banned).
Avatar...lol, who the heck wanted this? I didn't even want another movie let alone a game! Maybe it could be a sleeper hit but how should we know by a generic cg trailer?

One thing saved the show. Riders Republic. Awesome concept and it actually shows some gameplay. Also coming soon, pretty exciting..

EDIT: Had to say that Rocksmith does look pretty exciting for people that want to learn to play guitar!

I really didnt set my expectations that high tbh, only "wow" moment for me was the reveal of avatar but other than that...it was "Ok" I guess.

Far Cry 6, thats it….

Mario +rabbids certainly was worth it. Not a bad show really Most of the games showed aren't necessarily on my to buy list but they all seemed interesting to me at some level at least, so not bad. I was hoping for something Fenyx related. Still my favorite personal goty for pure fun. Riders republic is cool but I already played Steep, and the whole thing feels better suited for the arcade to me. Rocksmith steals the show. How can that be complained about? Sure it's edutainment, but there are so few software based self learning tools that have ever existed for music, and fewer still that actually work out well. They really deserve massive props for having one of only a handful that pull it off!

Ubisoft, lame as always. It'll stay that way as long as they don't work on any new franchises though even that has been lukewarm at best (Fenix). The only thing they need to make a sequel for is blood dragon.

I didn't expect much. They delivered exactly that. Ubisoft is the most generic company in the AAA market.

Ubisoft are pretty good at giving us everything, except what we want.

Any chance of a real Splinter Cell & Rainbow Six (Vegas or pre Vegas) game that isn’t barstadised?

Also, why announce the Vr versions of Assassins Creed & Splinter Cell last year when you’re not going to give us anything at your official events in the future?
