14 DAY TRIAL // With Electronic Arts talking about everything from Dead Space to Crysis to Madden NFL 11 and Microsoft showing off Gears of War 3 and Kinect, Ubisoft was somewhat overshadowed even if it managed to put on display some really interesting videogames, from the new Kinect-powered Your Shape: Fitness Evolved to Driver and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
Ubisoft is fully ready to jump on the motion tracking bandwagon, although it only talked about its Kinect titles at E3 as “games you can feel.” Tetsuya Mizuguchi, who is the creator of Rez, showed off a title called Children of Eden, which links feelings with motion, sound and images in an innovative manner.
There's also the obligatory Wii Sports clone, called MotionSports, and a new game, which aims to help players lose weight, called Your Shape: Fitness Evolved, that can use Kinect in order to see exactly how they move when doing their exercises so that it can correct their pose and technique.
Of course, the company also talked about its big titles, showing gameplay from Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, a shooter that relies on exoskeletons and on superior firepower to steal players from more established franchises, while also offering more details on Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, set to deliver multiplayer for the first time in the series, and the new Driver: San Francisco, a game long rumored to be in development. A new Rayman title was also unveiled alongside a skateboarding one powered by Shaun White.
The company showed off a new game, called Innergy, which seems to be what Nintendo was aiming at with the Vitality Sensor, using a USB peripheral attached to the finger of the player to help them relax. The USB attachment can be used on any computer and the developers are saying that “if you do just one 10 minute session per day, it gives your immune system a boost for up to 6 hours.”
