EB Games Expo (Day 2) – Live Updates

As I did for both sessions yesterday, I will be attending the EB Games Expo for the third and final session today. I am not sure how frequently I will be able to live blog, however I will at the very least be covering the Ubisoft conference which should be covering games such as Assassins Creed, Just Dance and Rayman (Hopefully, I have always enjoyed the Rayman series). Other then that – most of my day will involve hanging around the Sony and Microsoft Booths.

——————————

Sun 15:52

That is it for my live blog of the EB Games Expo. Thank you for tuning in and I hope you check out The Otaku’s Study for coverage of future events and of course, news and reviews!

I will do more live feed archives once I get home, followed by some first impressions of the games I played, my thoughts on the expo and more.

Sun 15:45

Sorry I have not reported in a few hours. Watched the cosplay event which showed some creative game related cosplsy, saw a cosplayer as Elise from Tales of Xillia <3.

Walked around and play tested a few more games and now heading off home for writing and sleep

Sun 13:16

Watching the folks at the udraw game tablet area… Geez they have some skill.

Sun 13:02

Considering the degree of cosplay this session at the expo, there is more of it then Saturday.

Sun 13:00

They really have got the crowd involved… Suppose that is why they are so popular.

Sun 12:46

Very friendly crew as well from my analysis over the last few days… Needed Darren here however, plenty of noobs that could be lazered I am sure!

Sun 12:43

Fair few excited kids about appearing on tv.

Sun 12:40

Good to see they are getting some kids asking questions live!

Sun 12:38

To my brother, a huge Good Game fan…

Sucks that you didn’t attend today’s session eh?

Sun 12:35

They need some spawnlings to ask questions? I can pretend to be a bearded 10 year old!

Sun 12:31

“everybody know what they have got to do?”

Argh no!

Sun 12:29

They have placed a walkway through this crowd in the oddest and most impractical position in lieu of a more sensible path.

Sun 12:27

At a Good Game recording… Look forward to seeing the episode as in their reports on the floor, I have gamed next to them… Twice haha!

Sun 11:42

Player has left game field

Woopsie

Sun 11:40

Last surprise

The Black Eyed Peas Experience with live dance demo. 28 tracks.

Sun 11:39

Gunsmith uses voice or movements. Voice is occasionally temperamental but worked really well 98% of the time

Sun 11:37

Gunsmith customization feature for the kinect live demo.

Sun 11:36

Trailer violence level [||||||||||]|| 120%

Sun 11:35

Tom Clancey’s Ghost Recon.. Don’t know much about the game so I might not live blog it.

Sun 11:35

17 maps, 12 modes and 16 characters… Sounds promising.

Sun 11:34

Multiplayer – in those days genetics only allowed one of tenish appearances for the populace…

Sun 11:33

Animus edition of the game is almost sold out at EB Games

Sun 11:32

Assassins Creed – showing that thousands to hundreds of years ago, guar had no peripheral vision…

Sun 11:32

Woo! Altair returns in flashbacks after collecting one of five keys. Good to see they didn’t ditch him after one game, after giving Ezio three+

Sun 11:29

Sorry… Apparently he can now climb buildings.

Sun 11:28

Many cheers and oooh’s from the crowd during the boss (?) battle

Sun 11:27

Sorry.. Explosive synthesis

Sun 11:27

Weapon Synthesis looks simple but effective.

Sun 11:26

This demo seems to be more about using explosives and other hand tools to defeat the enemies… Might have to change from playing the game using one weapon – the hidden blade.

Sun 11:24

Ezio in this demo… No climbing ability apparently but can certainly snap a naive guards neck.

Sun 11:23

Final Chapter of Ezio… Time for another Assassin to take his place in future titles or will this be the end of the line?

Sun 11:21

Demo Playthrough… Excuse me while I drool.

Sun 11:21

Preorder the game at the event and you can win a lifesize Ezio cardboard cutout.

Sun 11:20

Assassins Creed Revelations cutscenes look more and more realistic…

Sun 11:18

Starting off with an Assassins Creed trailer. First time I have watched it… Sounds very exciting.

Sun 11:17

Lots of stuff to show us o_o… More then just assassins creed revelations.

Sun 11:16

You can tell the performers are well practiced in this game haha

Sun 11:14

I only own Just Dance 1, so the improvements made between now and then are very apparent.

Sun 11:13

Yep, the people showing off Just Dance on the floor have arrived.

Sun 11:10

Couches being removed… Just Dance 3?

Sun 11:09

Ubisoft will be up any second now

Sun 11:06

My thoughts on the markerless ar trailer….

OMFG! I want that Toro cushion!

Sun 11:04

Good to see the Augmented Reality previews again.. Really is quite impressive.

Sun 11:02

Watching the Reality Fighter trailer again… I wonder if the face scanning will have the same shadow issues as was quite frequent with that TV show PS Move game.

Sun 11:00

Am I the only one who thinks Sony should bring back the Eyetoy franchise? Sure they have similar games… But nothing has matched the fun level that Eyetoy did to me….

Sun 10:56

Thinking about LittleBigPlanet on the Vita, the game does turn from a physics platformer to a physics platformer with physics defying options. Sure to disappoint some… But saves so much trouble developing levels ruined by an occasionally tempermental undo function.

Sun 10:51

Apparently the PS Portable has sold 70 million copies internationally…. Most certainly beats the ps3 and xbox360 in the console wars…

Sun 10:46

On the floor, the crowd seems to be as large, if not larger then yesterday, but this conference is a fair bit emptier.

Sun 10:45

After running around and checking out a couple of new games, I am now seated for the Ubisoft presentation. First I have to resit the Playstation one so if there is any new info announced, I will be sure to share it.

Sun 09:55

Back at the expo for the second day… And being made to watch another opening ceremony. Not entirely … Wait scrap that.. People are moving out…

Sun 09:02

Welcome to the Sunday Session Live Blog. The event will open in around an hour, and I will then start covering the event.

Until then…. should I get out of bed or go back to sleep? (Haha, kidding!)
