Well another game has jumped aboard the delay train. Far Cry 3 which was scheduled to be released this September will now be released in December. Ubisoft has sited the need to create the best possible gameplay experience--which is the usually comment for every delayed game. They may say that but I wonder if this delay has to do with any feedback the may have received from their showing at E3 this year. In any case you can expect Far Cry 3 on December 4th in the US and November 29th in the UK.

What made Rayman Legends gameplay standout was it was demoed on the Wii U and the integration with the Wii U gamepad shows off a different way to play. From beginning to end the Ubisoft Conference gives you want you want to see.  Rayman Legends and Far Cry 3 impressed but what everyone was waiting for was the Assassins Creed gameplay footage. Not to mention the impressive opening with Flo Rida and Just Dance 4. Assassins Creed III really takes your breath away with the new gameplay mechanics, the way Connor interacts with his environment and just the scale of it all. Ubisoft definitely has the right idea and they're going to have an impressive year ahead of them. What was really surprising was out of nowhere Ubisoft revealed Watch Dogs; a game where everything in the city is ...

Ubisoft is giving console players the opportunity to experience Far Cry 3's multiplayer with a beta that will take place over the summer. The MP beta will be a two week affair and will give players access to six classes, 16-player matches, dozens of weapon, a plethora of customizations and upgrades, and access to several maps and modes. The catch is, Yes there is a catch, you have to purchase Ghost Recon: Future Solider, be a GameStop PowerUp Rewards Member and enter the code you receive before you can get access to the beta (via email invite) once it goes live.
