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.

• showing another mini game...rabbids take a airplane engine...(too soon?) from a moving plane.

• eenage mutant ninja turtles now. tmnt smash up being shown (super smash brothers but with tmnt

• coming out this fall

• No more heroes 2 being published by ubisoft. working on product with lumines creator..code name Eden
