Far Cry 4 was given a new trailer! It was intense!

Aisha Taylor is back to introduce the next games from Ubisoft, promising compelling games and she says that the show starts big and gets bigger.

Just Dance 2015 was announced with a release date of this October, featuring an updated track-list and more community interaction. Trailer here. Just Dance Now was announced as an interactive version of Just Dance with a community focus. Using smartphones, one can connect to another smart device or internet connected device and play the game with a limitless amount of people.I'm not going to lie, it looked fun. Check it out here.

Tom Clancy's The Division makes an appearance.Seen earlier today, there was more content shown in the form of a new trailer.

Likewise for Assassin's Creed Unity, coming out in October 28, 2014. In the Ubisoft briefing, new gameplay was shown, along with a trailer. We were introduced to the Phantom Blade, Multi-Barrel Pistol and French Cutlass as weapons. I did not realize that the cinematic and the gameplay was actually all within the gameplay. And that has only happened with one title in the past - Metal Gear Solid V. I must emphasize that the graphics look fantastic. It's clear that this has inherited Assassin's Creed: Black Flag's seemless flow (no loading screens) when in the Animus' reimagination of Paris, France.

Ubisoft showed The Crew once again with Route 909, a way to interact with other competitors in tournaments (that are streamed worldwide, might I add). You can sign up for the beta that the game has at www.thecrewgame.com/beta. The beta starts on July 23. This will be out on November 11 this year, along with Halo's Master Chief Collection.

Two more games were introduced. Shape Up, an interactive and fun way to get in shape, for the Xbox One. In order to make it fun, it looks like they give the player challenges and allow them to compete against others. Next up is Valiant Hearts: The Great War. You can see the gameplay for Shape Up here and the heart-wrenching trailer for Valiant Hearts here.

But as usual, Ubisoft does not leave the show without shocking the fans. Showing an interactive hostage situation, Ubisoft revealed Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege! After 6 years, Rainbow Six is back! We were presented with a scenario where a hostage is held by criminals within her house and a SWAT team, led by 4 co-operative players, storms in to save her within a 5 minute round.The environment was completely destructible, which I see will lead to many gameplay options in-game. The 5-on-5 action will most likely represent a gameplay mode, where 10 players alternate between one team being the SWAT team and being on the criminal team. But, of course, since this was only a first-time premiere, we can expect much more.

Ubisoft, once again, stunned the crowd. There is nothing more that needs to be said. Ubisoft brought out everything that everybody expected to see.
