This is how you get gamers to cheer. Start your E3 press show by marching Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto on stage to play with goofy gun props and laugh with Yves Guillemot over Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle<\/a>. Is there anything more infectious than Miyamoto’s smile? Sure, the game is a weird three-way between Ubisoft’s Rabbids, Nintendo’s characters, and XCOM’s tactical turn-based combat (complete with zoom-in views for dramatic shots) but with Miyamoto chuckling along it looks like a good time.<\/p>\n

Without Aisha Tyler hosting, this year’s Ubisoft E3 show barreled through game announcements. The Crew 2<\/a> adds boats and speed planes to the open-world racing. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting a mob revenge story in the campaign this time around. Assassin’s Creed: Origins<\/a> continued to wow folks with its lush recreation of ancient Egypt. Remember how you wanted someone to make a full game out of the piratey goodness in Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag? Ubisoft Singapore took the ship-to-ship combat straight out of that game and made Skull and Bones<\/a> out of it. It’s pirates and competitive multiplayer on the open seas. South Park: The Fractured But Whole<\/a> made it’s 156th E3 showing. Elijah Wood and SpectreVision made their virtual reality debut with Transference<\/a>. Full-motion video and VR? It’s like Lawnmower Man with Night Trap. We got a little snippet of gameplay in Far Cry 5<\/a>. Hey, your best buddy in crazyland Montana will be a dog! Starlink: Battle for Atlas<\/a> excited everyone until it turned out to be a toys-to-life game for the Nintendo Switch. Steep<\/a> is going to going to the Olympics, and by that I mean the game is getting an official 2018 Winter Olympics expansion.<\/p>\n

Finally, Ubisoft aired a cinematic trailer for a sequel to The Fifth Element, no wait, it was for Beyond Good and Evil 2<\/a>. Gorgeous, evocative and exciting, right up until Ubisoft used these dreaded words: “Shared online playground.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
