30-05-2008 // Ubidays Paris 2008
After working together on some cool events and rockin’ cases, Ubisoft was kind enough to invite Commodore Gaming along to check out the upcoming Ubisoft titles at the Stunning Palais du Louvre (Gaming meets Art) in Paris France (and if lucky, get some hands-on time with some of the games) at Ubidays, Ubisoft's press and trade show.
After a train journey from Amsterdam to Paris there was a presentation to address the world's games press (the millions watching online) on the killer titles in Ubisoft's upcoming 08/09 line-up.
The presentation covered Prince of Persia, Far Cry 2, Tom Clancy's Hawx and Endwar (voice controlled RTS, awesome) Shaun White Snowboarding, Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, Soul Calibur IV, Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party and Ubisofts's Games for Everyone casual brand.
Each aforementioned title received a moment in the spotlight, involving some in-game footage, impressive trailers and discussions with key team members working on the title. After that there was time for some socializing and then a late tour of the Louvre to see sights, among which the Mona Lisa of course!
The next day started early and was focused on the individual titles, letting the journalists try them and speak to the teams working on them (Sean got to play End War and fell in love :) It will hopefully be 'happily ever after' when it releases).
