Ubisoft has some of the best open world game like the Assassin’s Creed series but it is more than that. At E3 2015, they presented a few interesting games besides the famous Assassin series.
Despite the assertion by South Park creators that The Stick of Truth is the last game, Stone and Parker decides to do it again – South Park: The Fractured But While. The game picks up the story after the end of The Stick of Truth.
This time, the player will be assuming the role of a new kid at South Park; exploring, leveling up, pickup weapons and items in the role-playing game. The format looks very similar so it will rely on comedy and story to push the game forward. It is set for release next year for the PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Next, we also got to see the continuation of Tom Clancy’s franchise, Ghost Recon Wildlands. The game is touted to be set in a massive and responsive open world. The game story is set in Bolivia as it becomes the world largest supplier of cocaine. The game is playable in four player co-op mode or solo.
The synopsis by Ubisoft:
“The Santa Blanca drug cartel has turned the country into a narco-state, leading to lawlessness, injustice, and violence. The Ghosts, an elite US Special Forces team, is sent behind enemy lines to wreak havoc and takedown the cartel,”
The trailer offers a few ways player can approach the gameplay from stealth or all out firepower ambush. Players also can utilize vehicle and use the surrounding environment to assist in their mission to take down the drug cartels. The game has no set release date yet at this point but it will be available on PC, Xbox One and PS4.
For Honor is an all-new game. It looks like someone at Ubisoft watched too much Game of Thrones with armoured knights and plenty of bloody swordplay. The mulitplayer looks impressive, that’s for sure. A lot of technical finesse was needed to successfully land a blow on the opponent, not just simple button bashing for a lucky blow approach.
For example, player must use correct stance in order to parry or overcome enemy’s defense in swordfight. Each character can utilize a light or heavy attack from high stance or left and right positions which is enabled by your stance. The stance is determined by direction the player tapped on the right analog. To parry an attack, player must be using correct stance with the enemy but if hold down block button too long, the enemy will able spot which stance the player is using.
We get to see the Western knights, Viking Raiders and Japanese samurai lookalikes bashing, cutting each other in this multiplayer video here. The game is set for 2016 release but no specific date yet.
This is the full presentation of Ubisoft at E3 2015:
