Best game shown today. Period.

My thoughts as well.

To me, this is the quintessential example of what I personally look forward to and love about e3.

Showing a new game no one has ever heard of until e3, and basically blowing minds.

This game looks SICK. So damn sick.

I actually think overall Ubisoft killed this e3 (in the positive way).

Seriously, every game they showed minus the dance stuff as not my cup of tea whatsoever, looked amazing for different reasons.

Take note other developers and companies, this is how you do an E3 press conference, talk about the damn games!!

Wow, two different endings to that scene already. :) Just watched the car chase ending on the top video, and I saw the other one live last night at Ubisoft's conference.

Watch Dogs is definitely looking like a day-one buy for me. Fingers crossed it's coming to Steam.

I didn't know about this game until I read some YouTube comments about a game that surprised a lot of people (in a good way). From what I've seen so far, it looks really good. It's about time developers started working on even larger games. The visuals look amazing so I'm definitely looking forward to the PC version. I just hope Ubisoft sticks with their plan to use less DRM and focus on better post-launch support.

I liked this for 2 reasons, first it looks good and the gameplay looks great as well, 2nd, it took place in my hometown.

I wonder though, because in the vid I saw at the end you see other players, so like, we talking a big multiplayer type world? Co-op? What sorta details do we actually have? If it's some big MMO type thing then that's a shame, as great as it looks I'll have to take a pass on it.

GTA with awesome graphics and huge technology network (that can be controlled)? Yes Please!

If the game turns out half as good as the video shows, it may be a day-one buy for me as well, despite Ubisofts DRM (though I will probably find a crack so I can play it offline, if always online is the DRM they go with). Looks like the perfect single-player game I've been looking for, always loved GTA but stealing cars and doing standard missions got boring after the third GTA.....but this seems to have much more, it's more of a secret-agent type game (or at least feel, based on the video) with a more advanced hackable network. It's like GTA + hitman + deus ex......seems awesome.

EDIT: Just watched the other video, multiplayer too? Coop perhaps could be tons of fun if that's the case, one person performs the mission while the others keep a lookout for police (or the others track the target, etc), then while the main person gets away, the others could distract the police or whoever else would chase them.

Could see so many coop possibilities....like mentioned above, or maybe the other player tracks the target while player 1 sets up the trap (or gets in position), or player 2 tracks/distracts the target while player 1 searches their car/house.......looks better and better.

Man, Ubisoft just churns out so of the most awesome game stories and ideas. They always seem to capitalize on real world issues/conspiracies and make them so real, or make you think this could be going on. This looks amazing. I definitely can't wait.

The gameplay trailer was awesome. I like the idea of total control over 'the network'.

During the first trailer, was anyone else thinking "What is this, Facebook: The Game?" Lol. That is all I could think of.

Ubisoft just took the cake for me this year with this game and AC3.

From what I can tell, them are the characters "Usernames" in the network, not multiplayer names.

Looks a combination between GTA and Deus Ex. Loved it!

Please, tell me it's coming to PC.

Yes, it's coming to PC.

Wonder what kind of insane Ubisoft DRM this game will have.

Don't quote me, but I thought I saw from the Ubisoft E3 show someone said they are forgoing any sort of always on DRM for the PC version like they've had in the past. But like I said, don't quote me. It might be a different game I saw this for even.

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.
    • 47% profit margin? Wtf!! I know companies are in business to make money but come on man. I know for a fact I'll never own one of these.
    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
