Ubisoft @ E3 12: Rayman Legends gets demoed on the Wii U
Michael Micholic was onstage at Ubisoft’s press conference to talk about Rayman Legends. But he did more than talk about it – he gave a live demo on the Wii U. While the game itself looks pretty adorable on its own, I couldn’t help but stare at the controller every single chance I could. The controllers were wired, but Micholic assured us they were early controllers and that the final models would “of course” be wireless.
And then, suddenly, the game turned into a platforming pseudo-rhythm game. I hope I wasn’t the only one who thought that was rad. I’m not really sure what to make of all of these bells and whistles, but I’m actually interested in the Wii U for the first time… ever.
Ubisoft reveals E3 2012 lineup
Today, Ubisoft announced that it will start its E3 2012 festivities with an invitation-only press conference at 3 PM (Pacific Time) on June 4th, but you shouldn’t feel left out; those unable to attend E3 can watch the press conference live on YouTube, and get bonus backstage videos and free content on Uplay, Ubisoft’s online community site dedicated to enhancing player experience.
The press conference will feature Ubisoft’s upcoming lineup (including their Wii U plans), special guests and some surprise announcements. In a first, Ubisoft will be inviting gamers to ask questions of its development teams on Uplay, and will broadcast the best questions live during the conference.
Games available to be played at Ubisoft’s booth will include Assassin’s Creed III, Far Cry 3, Rayman Legends, and Rocksmith. The finale of a ShootMania: Storm marathon tournament will be broadcast from the booth at 11 AM (Pacific Time) on June 6.
