Ubi E3 Minute Recap

Our friends at Ubisoft put on quite the show yesterday - here's a quick recap:

Ghost Recon Wildlands 


Ghost Recon Wildlands had a ten-minute demo up on Ubisoft's stage; and it looks great; graphically and gameplay-wise.

Mexican drug cartels have seized cocoa plants in Bolivia, becoming the most successful mass producers of cocaine worldwide.

You get to drive many vehicles and have access to an arsenal of weapons to capture and take down members of the drug cartel.


South Park 


South Park The Stick of Truth returns with South Park The Fractured But Whole. In a hilarious demo, this sequel is a parody of Captain America Civil War.

Featuring Cartman's coon and his posse dressed as superheroes who become divided and enter a "civil war" over who gets the most share of superhero movie rights.

The Division


Tom Clancy's the Division gets its first expansion titled "Underground" and Survival is up next to be released.


Star Trek Bridge Crew (VR)

Star Trek veterans Levar Burton, Jeri Ryan and Karl Urban made an appearance in a demo of Star Trek Bridge Crew -- a new title being released for the HTC Vive - allowing you (to as the title says) operate a bridge crew with your friends like a true commanding officer.

For Honor


At last year's Ubi E3 we caught a glimpse of the upcoming hack-and-slash game For Honor. This year revealed an official trailer and a ten-minute gameplay demo.

The game looks fantastic and slash moves with the axe -- gory. For Honor releases next Valentines Day 2017.

Eagle Flight (VR)


In a game of capture the flag (or rabbit) with flying eagles, players strapped on an Oculus to go head-to-head during this fun-looking demo.


Assassin's Creed Movie


It wouldn't be Ubi E3 without Assassin's Creed making an appearance. Exclusive behind-the-scenes clips of the upcoming Assassin's Creed movie were shown, featuring Michael Fassbender playing Callum Lynch.

Lynch is a decendant of the mysterious secret society of the Assassins and must use his inborn abilities to take down the Templars.

Watch Dogs 2

A Watch Dogs sequel is slated to release later this year in November; the ten-minute demo showcased the protagonist hacking communications of a no-good politician, by infiltrating a building which instigated an all-out firefight. 

Steep


A new extreme winter sports IP called Steep is coming out this December. With stunning visuals and incredible stunts, this is sure to allow for some competitive online races and time trials.

The last E3 Conference is up to Sony to take center stage.

Review of the Alienware Graphics Amplifier

Laptop VS Desktop? Have both. What is a "graphics amplifier"? In essence an external GPU you can plug right into your system. Many companies have tried to release these onto the market, but sadly many haven't gotten past announcement phase. Users either resort to painstakingly building custom external graphics cards with components purchased all over the web or simply tossing aside their laptop and building a $10000 gaming PC for their graphics power needs. Both are acceptable, but Alienware and Razor (or any other company to announce one aain) give you another option: a mini-tower outfitted with a build-in PSU and cooling fan for your graphics power needs. Easier and More Flexible Wouldn't it be great to bring your laptop to work, coming back to your home office 2 hours later and gaming away as if it were that $10000 desktop? What a versatile workstation! No stray red, black and yellow cables sticking out of a shoebox or melted GPUs.

Level Design in God of War (Part 1)

Becoming the God of War God of War is one of the most-critically acclaimed franchises to ever hit the Playstation market. In this pipeline deconstruction, I will refer to elements of the series as a whole. Dominus the main character in concept, needed to be summed up in a single word -- wrath . Covered in the ash of his wife and child, the character is a demigod who seeks revenge on the gods who betrayed him. Once the artists stripped away his armor and shield, the character’s true raw, animalistic side was exposed. Tall with upper-body musculature, covered in ashes and hunched over with his signature Blades of Chaos, Dominus was a force to be reckoned with. Dominus set the stage for the today’s Playstation mascot -- Kratos. Level Design Mood and exploration is a staple part of level design in God of War . Areas that are more open are also relatively barren; while many objects are placed around smaller areas like rooms. I think this encourages the player’s sense o
