Xbox one S $100 more across the board in Canada.
I think Ms upstaged their new slim model with the Scorpion. Probably should have waited until they at least launched the slim first.

Ubisoft about to start up.
Right out of the gates, we're starting with a dance number? I don't know if this supposed to be a tie in to DDR or something. I've very confused.
Ah! Just Dance 2017. That was one hell of a promo apparently, involving live dancers on stage.

So I'm not missing much...

Just Dance 2017 coming to all consoles and PCs in October, coming to Nintendo DX in 2017.
Not yet! I thought I had opened up the wrong Twitch stream first. :DQuote:

Nice! Start off with a helicopter chasing a car, a sniper taking out the driver of the car, then transition into a hint of the open worldness of the game.
Lead designer on stage talking about Columbia and coca. Giving a what if of if a Mexican druglord moved in, took over and turned Columbia into a narco state.
Set in an open world, can be played entirely solo or co-op (think along the lines of The Division).
Showing gameplay now. Ghosts are targeting a guy named El Pozolero, the guy who makes bodies disappear. Ghosts know he's in a certain region, but don't know exactly where. Ghosts have complete freedom to move and complete the mission as they desire, instead of it being forced on rails in certain areas.
They sneak into a house, get info on his location from a computer, then hitch a ride on a helicopter once of the teammates stole. Scoping out the location, realize it's gonna be tough, another player just joined up in game. Two players approaching on vehicle from the west while the two from the helicopter coming in from a different direction.
Tagging and sniping lookouts as they approach. Attacking from two different directions, one group entering the camp from the train station on the east side. Kill one guy while a train passes by.
They deploy a drone to see what's up ahead after stealthily taking out two guys in a room. Drone is highlighting a shit ton of guards, and eventually enters the roof a building to locate El Pozolero. The Ghosts are slowly and silently taking out guards while approaching the main building.
Sniping more guards while the others take them out with silenced pistols. One guy got spotted and El Pozolero is hauling ass in a white SUV. One Ghost took off chasing on a dirtbike. Two more just make it through a closing gate in a red truck. Last Ghost still in the camp steals a bike and takes off to join the chase after killing some guards in the camp.
El Pozolero keeps trying to ram the guys in the truck. Guy left back at camp tries to outrun a train to go back and get back to the chopper.
Holy shit, gas station just went up in explosions. The Ghosts finally get him stopped just as the guy in the chopper makes it to them. Cartel reinforcements arrive, gun battle ensues while the chopper takes to the air, flying off to a successful mission.
This game is gonna be fun!

Ghost Recon Wildlands will be released on March 7, 2017.
Now onto a promo video for South Park: The Fractured but Whole.
Lmao! Classic South Park. Not much I can really explain, just showing some clips when you start the game, creating your character, Cartman telling the 'background" behind your superhero, an argument starting because you became a superhero after being traumatized by finding your dad fucking your mom, which apparently isn't a reason because "dude, everyone's dad fucked everyone's mom!".
Now showing off the combat.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhhl6IdbqnM
Now onto New York for The Division DLC.
In Underground, fighting against a dangerous threat underneath the streets of the city.
Every time you play, the threat is unique, so it will be different/change every time you play.
It comes out June 28th on Xbox and PC. August 2nd on PS4.
Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon and Rainbow 6 outfits for free in-game to celebrate Ubisoft's 30 years, you can get it through the Ubisoft Club.
Talking about the next expansion after Underground, Survival.
Showing a promo now for Survival, but it's rendered, not actual gameplay.
Not sure if it'll transition to the actual game, but never ending snow storm, everything covered in snow. Decreasing food, decreasing supplies. Guy trying to scavenge for food runs into a group of rioters, they see him, shoot at him, he takes off running. Rioters catch up to him, beat him with a bat, he's seemingly about to die, before other agents show up and mow the two rioters down.
The fuck? Someone with agent circles on him, shoots someone in the back, then is shown walking with a full face mask. Definitely wasn't set up to look like a good guy. Probably gonna be some super strength fucker you'll have to take on at some point in Survival.

Now got a group of people in stage, going three on three, Red vs Blue teams, in Eagle Flight, being played in VR.
Apparently you play as falcons (or other raptors) and they were playing capture the flag, where the flag is a rabbit and you're trying to get it back to your nest or something. Interesting but odd game.
It'll be out for VR this fall.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96fFC1PtebU
Now transitioning to straight all out VR discussion.
Showing off a Star Trek VR game, with actors from various Star Trek series talking about playing the game and discussing what it's like playing it.
It's called Star Trek Bridge Crew, entirely built for VR.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=romB8e5nMp8
Now onto a promo showing a wheat field and a farm. A castle or some sort. The ground moving and now seemingly swallowing up things and opening up into massive chasms.
Now showing everything destroyed and lava in the distance. A staggered survivor stumbles forward for water, only to have something try to attack him from behind. Another approaches from high ground. All seemingly about to fight over a tiny stream of water. They initially put their weapons down like they're going to peacefully work together, only to end up fighting, starting a "millennium of conflict".
Fast forward through "a thousand years of war" with nonstop fighting by armies. Now seemingly back to the ancestors of the three original guys. All of a sudden an arrow flies out of nowhere and strikes one of them. Transition to Apollyon standing on a cliff nearby.
Ahh, it's For Honor. (I really need to keep up with games more often than just E3, I'd probably remember some of these much sooner. :D)
Now showing a gameplay video of a Viking campaign mission.

Grow Home is now the topic of discussion. Or, at least a new game is.
Grow Up seems to be the title. Yep, Grow Up I what it's called. Coming out this August on Xbox, PS4 and PC.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEBtCHk8_YA
Apparently Trials and Blood Dragon have had a baby. According to two big guys in some seriously UGLY tiger stripe sweat suit like clothes.
It's called Trials of the Blood Dragon, and will be available on PS4, PC and Xbox One within the hour (after the end of the Ubisoft conference).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsvzfZ929Dk
Now we're talking about the Assassin's Creed movie.
The movie will be in theaters December 21st.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdjBDQa_UMU
And now onto Watch Dogs 2.
More stuff to hack, including apparently cars (even to the point of being able to control them). You can much more seamlessly going into co-op with friends and run into other Dedsec agents in the game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=243NzPs0vG4
Watch Dogs 2 will have all DLC released on PS4 first before any other platform.
I have no idea if this was previously announced, but there will be a Watch Dogs movie. This guy from Sony says they apparently view it was an entire franchise similar to the Assassin's Creed franchise.
Another Watch Dogs promo/trailer. Hack everything and anything to help you!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trWWmQ7xf2U
Watch Dogs 2 Collector's Edition comes with a robot. I'll have to find more details about it.
Gold Collector's Edition comes with an actual app enabled robot.

What should be the final game of the presser, a new IP, Steep.
An apparent mix of action sports and a completely open world. Supposedly a "new genre".
Looks like game with skiing, snowboarding, skydiving, wingsuits, paragliding, a whole bunch of stuff. Seems like something like SSX on uber-roids.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t32yR-SNW6s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Do5d4PAz4rA
I would have been like wowzers Xbox One S for $299, sold! Then Scorpio happened. So I will wait.
LMAO! Some guy gliding in a wingsuit went head first into a bell in a church steeple. :D
Someone better announce a *&*%&*^#*$&*#&$&@# Tennis game.
Steep ships this December.
I have to be honest, I've never been big into the kinds of games like SSX and whatnot, but Steep looks fun! Especially since you can do a massive amount of stuff, skiing, snowboarding, paragliding, gliding in wingsuits, and you can do it in a open world with random players, randomly coming across other people during your trips down the mountains. It honestly looks like they took the basis behind SSX and pumped about every fucking steroid in the world into it and threw it into an open world engine.
I'm gonna have to remember Steep coming this winter, I may have to pick it up.
Sony is your only hope. Ubisoft is pretty much wrapping it up now.Quote:

Post conference question/answer session.
Just Dance 2017 will have over 40 new songs.
Trials of the Blood Dragon will have the vibe of an early 90s Saturday morning cartoon.
For Honor will be out Valentine's Day 2017. The factions are Knights, Vikings and Samurai. You get to play as all three factions in the campaign. You'll play them in a certain sequence, and delve into the culture of each and find out what they're fighting for. Same factions in multiplayer, same characters.
Reflection is still behind Grow Up. It's pretty much a sequel of Grow Home with Bud essentially getting out from under the watchful eye of Mother, and getting out and exploring and having fun.
The eagle game (can't recall the title off head) is 100% VR, you control solely with your head.
Ghost Recon, you're basically fighting the Santa Blanca cartel, run by El Sueno, who has taken over all of Columbia. You're gradually working through the low level guys and working up the chains of the cartel to eventually be able to locate and go after El Sueno himself.
The Division Underground, all of the enemies that you've seen before are what you'll see, but new toys, new tricks to change up the experience. Still saying that you'll have a different experience every time, it's not going to be something like a hard scripted thing similar to the above ground missions. I guess we'll see if that ends up being the case.
And that was it before Aisha was apparently told they were out of time for more questions.
And that is a wrap for Ubisoft. I'm pretty sure I was able to go back and get videos for everything editing into the posts. Ubisoft after was pretty good with already having trailers and gameplay videos on YouTube as many as 3-5 minutes ahead of the actual discussion in the press conference.
And now that just leaves Sony at 9pm EDT.
Sony to announce 7 teraflops, making it the new most powerful console in the world.
Sounds like they're focusing on games and not even bringing it up.Quote:

Am interested in For Honor but worried about it getting repetitive. Will wait for impressions. Ghost Recon is something my son is looking forward to.
Not a problem! I figured I was already going to be watching, so it's easy to post about it as stuff is happening.Quote:

Ubisoft finally uploaded the video from the whole South Park segment, so I edited that into the original post instead of the two videos I had from a random YouTube account. It includes the entire on stage stuff with Trey and Matt.
Just about time for Sony to start.
Jesus, Sony has an entire goddamn orchestra.
