#GamingNEWS Roller Champions: Jet Set Radio event | Ubisoft Forward

They had us in the first half, not gonna lie...

How difficult is it to release a new Jet Set Radio or re-release the two (and I said TWO) previous games????!

Not-#E32020 NEWS! Ubisoft new titles

So everyone's doing "online conventions" lately, what with our current Post-Covid world (not really, you know what I mean, let's not get into details..).

Ubisoft did their own "not E3" reveals and announcements.

Let's see what they had for us in store...

A new Trials - those silly lil' games are always fun, aren't they? Here's some upcoming events added to Trials Rising:



We got a new Watch Dogs! You all remember Watch Dogs, don't you? Here's some Watch Dogs: Legion:



Far Cry 6!! Aka "more of the same: the new Far Cry entry":




And the long-awaited Assassin's Creed Valhalla! I dig Vikings, this seems fun:

#E3news The big E3 2019 Recap post

Hey everyone.

This week marked the big E3 2019 even, in LA. You know what? I've been mostly offline this past week. So I finally decided to catch it all in one sitting. And boy, there's been quite a few great new announcements, tidbits, trailers and some occasional goofy and cringe moments in what was yet another packed E3 experience.

Since this is my page, let's only recap the things I'm interested in or I've something to say about.

#E32018 Day 2 And then Ubisoft had.. nothing much?

It's Ubisoft's turn now...

..but really they didn't have much in store in my eyes.

#GamingNEWS Assassin’s Creed Origins: Gamescom 2017 Cinematic Trailer

I admit, I'm pretty hyped for this one:



I guess I just love Ancient Egypt!

#E3 Day 2 - UBI-san

Day 2 of E3 brought the Ubisoft conference and some nice surprises.

I won't repost the whole Assassin's Creed Origins stuff, even though I really enjoyed what I saw. Instead let's move forward.

#E3News Assassin's Creed Origins: Official World Premiere Gameplay Trailer

Long rumored, early leaked info, Ubisoft finally officially announced the new Assassin's Creed game - Assassin's Creed Origins!

This new episode will be set in ancient Egypt, coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC on October 27th.



The game was announced as a new evolution of the series, adding new RPG-like elements and more! Check out some gameplay:



I love how it looks! I might go back and catch up on the series finally.

#GamingNEWS Assassin's Creed Origins leaked

While Ubisoft has announced there will be a new Assassin's Creed game released before March 2018, some leaked info has been going around the web thanks to some retailers that have broken street dates concerning an upcoming pre-order card....

Looks like the rumors of an Ancient Egypt AC game was right! This might be the perfect blend of Assassin's Creed gameplay and Prince of Persia-style atmosphere I was looking for. Can't wait for some info! (Maybe at this year's E3?)

TLC - My Top 9 best-looking 2D sidescroller games ever made (in my opinion!)

I missed making these sort of lists this past year. So while I'm taking a break from full-on reviews,

It's time to have a look at....

#GamingNEWS! Watch Dogs 2: World Premiere Announcement

E3 didn't start yet, but we're getting plenty of news regarding upcoming titles.

Remember Watch_Dogs? Yeah, I know, not a lot of people ended up enjoying that title.. Well Ubisoft Montreal just revealed Watch_Dogs 2! And it will be set in San Francisco this time! Check this out:



 



It all kinda looks underwhelming... but I guess it's better than over-hyping the game with a phenomenal trailer like last time. It's easier to surprise the audience from there than fall short from expectations.

New game, new protagonist. The free running looks fun and Ubisoft-ysh. And, hey, look! You can actually watch dogs in Watch_Dogs now!

Watch_Dogs 2 will be out on November 15 for PS4 and Xbox 1.

#Fanmade - Assassin's Creed Trailer // Re-edited with Game's Soundtrack

Alright, some fans - at BinarySunProductions - have re-edited the Michael Fassbender's Assassin's Creed film (or as I like to call it, Fassassin's Creed) with the actual game music. And it's a ton better than the cheesy cliché mainstream rap-music one. Check it out:



ALRIGHT! Now we're talking! I'm finally properly hyped for the film now! Why didn't they do that right away? Even for mainstream audiences this sounds a ton better, more appropriate and more epic!!!

#Movie NEWS! Assassin's Creed Trailer World Premiere

Finally, a trailer for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed live action film! And it looks actually pretty decent:



I'm absolutely not sold on the rap music and the robot arm-Animus, but everything else looks fairly AC-ysh.

And it's supposed to be canon with the games! (like the comics!)

#Design - PC Freedom Cry, Final Exam, Hydrophobia & Rocket Knight custom cover art

Please! Do not ask for these! This was a personal job, not outsourcing the work to other people. If you want me to work out something for you, I will do so for money only.

I'm not a big steam-user or just big on digital games because I admit it - I'm totally materialistic. I need some actual boxes to feel a sense of "ownership". That's why I decided to make a few mockup covers for a few digital games I own, at least to motivated myself to finally play through these this year and still proudly have them in my collection next to the rest of my games.

I'm not allowing the comments below to avoid the spam I usually get on these.

#Gaming NEWS! Far Cry Primal reveal trailer

So Ubisoft announced a new Far Cry - what another one?? Yes. YES, GODDAMIT:

It seems since Blood Dragon Ubi's been interested in experimenting and playing with the FarCry franchise a lot more than, say, the Assassin's Creed series.

Far Cry Primal will take place at the dawn of mankind. How fun is that!?! It seems to be a return to form taking some cues from the original FaCry prototype under the CryENGINE, that "X-Isle" demo which featured dinosaurs:



This interests me a lot more than FC2-4 ever did!

This Far Cry Primal is set to release on February 23, on Xbox One and PS4.

#Movie NEWS! 1st pic of Assassin’s Creed: The Movie

No, this is not a picture of Michael Fassbender cosplaying as Ezio from the Assassin’s Creed video game series, but it's actually the first pic and our first look at the upcoming Assassin’s Creed live action film.

Yes, it appears it is now finally officially happening!

The film is set to star Michael Fassbender as "Callum Lynch", an original protagonist as to better fit the game continuity and be part of the overall main canon of the franchise. The story will see Abstergo creating the Animus. - which allows people to relive the genetic history of their ancestors. Fassbender will also probably play the ancestor of Lynch, Aguilar, a 15th-Century Spanish assassin.

The release date is set for December 21, 2016. The film will star Marion Cotillard, Michael Kenneth Williams and Ariane Labed, and it will be directed by Justin Kurzel.

#SDCC 2015 News! "Legend of the Gnome Gemulets" Gravity Falls game

Good News, Everyone!

Not only did Gravity Falls' epic trailer for the upcoming episodes totally rock this year's SDCC in my eyes, but they also announced at the same GF panels we would be getting our first Gravity Falls video game!

Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets!

And what's more, it appears to be a sidescroller Action-RPG in the same vein as that Adventure Time game I really liked (think Zelda 2).

Here's the official trailer:



And a few screenshots:

Exactly the way I imagined it! I'm sure a lot of fans would have prefered a huge open-world 3D-type of game on the main consoles, but without a big enough budget I don't think they could pull off a decent tie-in game adaptation. And this looks pretty good and fun if you ask me.

The official announcement:

ENTER THE WORLD OF GRAVITY FALLS
Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets, powered by the acclaimed UbiArt Framework game engine, brings the look and feel of the show to Nintendo 3DS systems. Lush backgrounds and beautiful graphics allow you to explore your favorite places from the show, such as the Mystery Shack and the Gnome Forest, like never before!

• Mabel wields the Fleece of Bedazzlement that lets her whip her sweater sleeves to attack monsters from afar, and her grappling hook is at the ready to help access areas otherwise out of reach.
SOLVE AN ALL-NEW MYSTERY
Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets features a new, original adventure. Unravel the mystery to learn new lore about the inhabitants of Gravity Falls and unlock secrets of the town’s past.
