Microsoft have released screens for Splosion Man

Xbox 360 - Trials Screens

Microsoft has released screens for their game Trials.

Ubisoft E3 Press conference as it was twittered

  • Ubisoft press conference is now being twittered

  • presenter is a bit of a comedian...this can only be good or bad overall

  • just chatting at the mo. nothing mentioned

  • president of the compnay now going to speak

  • ubisoft is interested in the convergence of tv, movies, books and games and wants to connect them. this is a shift at ubisoft

  • hey have spent time working on tools to help bring this together, like UPlay where consumers can create interactive/non interactive content

  • this will be put into Assassins creed, splinter cell and avatar. with uplay people can help you, you can buy health stuff and more

  • they have linked together with Fox and Lightstorm entertainment with teams working together , an example of bringing together entertainment

  • they will work with peter jackson soon and with steven speilberg on his Tin Tin movie

  • they are talking about gaming imputs, the wii motion plus, and red steel, but also showing interest in the 360s sensor bar

  • say that these sort of gaming imputs push the industry into the mass market

  • Avatar is using ground breaking technology, apparently, and will look spectacular

  • they are using 3d models from games and putting them into hd movies. there will be hd short movies out later in year where assassins creed2

  • models were used as 3d backgounds

  • this move into bringing entertainment together sounds like a attempt to diversify the company away from just games, and perhaps cut costs

  • talking about avatar, james cameron is talking. says it was a old idea, one that he had to shelve once before. but LOTR made him start it

  • he's talking about the back story of the movie/game. the planet is a moon round a gas giant. nothing shown of game yet

  • i won't talk about the back story/history of the movie...very possible spoilers for it...i'll wait till someting game relavent happens

  • ok once more, december 18th release date. taken 4 years soo far (titanic was only 2 years)

  • ah, now he's mentioned game. they spent time looking for the right developer/publisher. Ubisoft won

  • he doesn't want avatar game to suck, won't let it. game does not have to follow movie, but exist in same world

  • spent 2 years making the game. some stuff from the game has now appeared in the movie

  • you get to play as humans and naavi characters. game will be in 3D!

  • steroscopic 3d...aims to be the first major 3d game when it's released

  • it will be out before the movie, it has no spoilers for the movie

  • Red Steel2 trailer. swordsman fighting off bullets and such in a wild west kinda setting. .

  • good looking. graphics not quite cel shaded. simular to prince of persia from last year. doesn't look like many other wii games.

  • they are going to play it on stage. not old wild west....motorcycle drives through.

  • the character is being dragged along by the bike through a few cacti

  • the practice dummy, something they're showing the movements on, is all done from a First person view.

  • enimies don't spill blood. a coin like thing seems to come out of them instead

  • the heavy has been shown...it has a massive club. it's an example of a more powerful boss. expect to take on more than one nearer the end

  • it's running at 60fps. taking realism and graphic novel style look to the game. really want to keep the motion fluid

  • the game will be bundled with the Wii motion plus

  • now onto sports. shawn wright snow boarding shown for the wii

  • not much is shown, more focus on shawn and mates having fun on a roof. there is a half pipe shown with boarders in it

  • academy of champions next up. here comes Pele

  • lol, trailer does not work when presenter prompts for it.

  • skips to a game pic of pele instead of trailer

  • painful....nothing happening...trying to fill void whilst someone fixes things and runs the trailer

  • saved by pele...he's having a chat (through the interpretot) about the game and his involvement

  • bless pele...still going...still no trailer

  • and the trailer, lol. fairly cartoony styled. a bit harry potter ish. (in more than one way) no gameplay yet

  • splinter cell trailer from 360 conference now

  • going to do a live demo. he's free from previous constraints...therefore more brutal. new features talked about.

  • destructible environments, can be used to beat information from people. story pieces projected onto walls near you so you know what to do

  • game starts off low tech. take a piece of broken mirror to look under doors. seemless loading. mark and spot, take down enimies quickly

  • in the shadows, game looks nearly black and white...apart from enemies and things you can use against them. last know position has outline

  • of your body where the enemies last spotted you before you went out of sight

  • alot of it looked awfully familiar to what was shown at the 360 conference. crowd loved it still.

  • Rouse now, showing old trailer for the game

  • still looks interesting and new. Ruse (sorry for spelling).

  • now casual games. Imagine sold more games than all hardcore games put together. second biggest brand after pokemon on the DS

  • taking causal forwards. "tween games 2.0." imagine a magazine, online hub, new imagine games. petz can work with other games and players

  • stylelabs use dsi to take picture and modify. style jewellry uploads you designe's to a website where you can buy the items

  • make the point that casuals deserve great experiences like hardcore gamers and ubisoft meets them

  • they are going to innovate the fitness genre (took mick out of EA fit). they are going to use cameras in their games.

  • you will be put in the game, body shape examined, you move in game and outside. get coached to help you. camera keeps eye on you

  • more digs are Wii fit stuff. by just using the camera, there's no motes, boards to have, to get in the way. your shape for the Wii

  • game comes with camera, not a wii camera announcement. set for fall release

  • ubisoft is working with nintendo to create a camera that works with the Wii. more games could come and use it

  • rabbids go home now...stage is being invaded by rabbids, lol then they've gone

  • rabbids gonna get rubbish, pile it high....gotta reach the moon. gonna use the shopping cart to help them do it

  • showing a old trailer for the game now...the one with obama in his pants

  • live demo time a rabbid inside a wiimote being abused by moving the wiimote around and pressing buttons. unlock ways to hurt rabbid in game

  • dogs will try to attack you. smack them and use them for your pile. verminators will randomly attack you...easy to defeat tho.
