E3 | Assassin's Creed Unity, Project Morpheus and Super Smash Bros | Highlights

Ok, so...it's already that time of the year. The E3 is in the house, bringing us the highlights of new releases, events, tournaments and many other things, of the biggest brands in the gaming industry.

Since I'm like...really far away (another country, for that matter), it was a no-no to go there, but luckily, the livestreams do exist, which is cool.

So much information was released these past few days, and I was able to catch the streams for both Microsoft and Nintendo, and a friend told me about a couple of things about the Sony Press Conference.

I know there are still many awesome and important things that they announced...but I'm gonna talk about the ones that caught my attention.

First up: The Microsoft Press Conference. 

Assassin's Creed Unity. Awesome! I'm fangirling over this. I'm an AC fan from the beginning of the series. My favorite game was Assassin's Creed 2, and my least favorite has to be AC: Black Flag, just because I was lousy at sailing ships. But aaaanyway.
This time, the plot takes place in Paris, during the French Revolution. The people rising up, against the government.
One of the highlights of this game is the usage of strategies to assassinate your targets, instead of just running against him with the hidden blade.
Also, the COOP mode could be awesome, up to 4 players.

The cinematic trailer alone makes me happy. Check it out.

Other games that I'm waiting from Microsoft are: Fable: Legends, Halo 5: Guardians, Tom Clancy's The Division, and Call of Duty: Advance Warfare.

Now: for Sony and its PlayStation 4.

The releases of Mortal Kombat X, Uncharted 4, and Metal Gear Solid 5: The Pantom Pain, along with Far Cry 4, seemed cool. Especially Mortal Kombat, just because I like fighting games.

But also, the announcement for Project Morpheus and its many demo releases, including a castle demo, a luge demo, and a playable Valkyrie demo. All of them along with the virtual reality of the device.

IGN made a little review of the release, so check it out.

The other relevant thing for me was the Invitational Super Smash Bros. Tournament.

I got to watch the whole event. It seemed intense, man. 

16 of the top SMB players of many countries around the world were gathered at E3, to fight against each other to obtain the title of champion of the new relase of the game for the Wii U.

New characters like Megaman and the Wii Fit Trainer, among others, were used. And you could be able to watch their new smashing moves.

The crowds were also invited to interact, voting for their fan favorite players. It was cool to see all the boards, decorated with the character images. And the wild occassional Pikachu that wasn't even playing at that moment.

The winner was Gonzalo Barrios from Chile. He used Zero Suit Samus as his character.

Nevertheless, I was rooting  for Kirby and its user, HungryBox.

Also, during the stream, there were mixed reviews by the viewers, according to Neha's gameplay with the Wii Fit Trainer, accusing her of "camping" too much. But hey, it could be an strategy based on the character movements. But still, the tournament was cool to watch.

Yeah, those were my shallow reviews.

Be sure to check out the streams for the next events.
