THIS IS THE END, BEGINNING AT BOTTOM
(5:35:02 PM): Intros Red Steel 2 and shows Red Steel 2 trailer. Live action film of a guy using the Wii Motion Plus like a warrior. Juxtaposing shots of the player and the on-screen character swinging a sword. Lighting looks really nice. Mostly saw cinematics, but the in-game action looked good too.
(5:12:38 PM): We were the first to jump on the Wii with Red Steel, he says. Talks about Red Steel 2 and its use of Motion Plus.
(5:12:15 PM): Brings up Avatar, the game based on the Cameron movie. A new creative team has joined forces with Ubi... joined forces again with Peter Jackson, and working with Spielberg on Tintin.
So basically Ubisoft is making a Tintin game along with Spielberg. Jackson project is unclear...
(5:09:50 PM): Ubi has created a new divisioncalled Hybrid to help its media convergence efforts. Created a 'destination' called Uplay that will allow social networking from within their games. There's a shop, etc. Will be on Assassin's Creed, Avatar and Splinter Cell -- A new multimedia experience.
