E3: Ubisoft trailer explosion

Here’s the bottom line- Ubisoft has a very strong lineup of games on the way with some new IP’s as well as a gaggle of old favorites. Oh, and Rocksmith’s back.

I’m not going to blather on here because, in this case, the pictures do enough talking. What really impressed me though was the sheer number of games that look like they’re going to be as close to a surefire hit as you can get.

So without further ado, enjoy the ‘show’.

So there you have it, the Ubisoft trailer-set for their E3 lineup. Overall I’m very impressed with Ubi this year and both Rocksmith 2014 and The Division were nice (not to mention unexpected) surprises. As for the more established franchises from the company, Rayman, Assassin’s Creed IV and Just Dance 2014 should all hit their respective marks nicely.

I’m still up in the air a bit about Splinter Cell Blacklist and the soft reboot that it represents for the franchise, but I have to say- it’s growing on me. And not in a bad, moldy way either.
