Joel McHale is filled with awesomeness.
President of Ubisoft speaking to the masses
From convergence to confluence?
This press conference seems more big budget than EA so far.
This uplay deal is similar to EA's online integration.
The upper balcony at Ubi press con is chill.
Yeah, these old Los Angeles theaters are very regal...inside, that is.
James Cameron's Avatar - the Game: we're promised we'll see more a little bit later?
A VIP coming onto the stage...who could it be?
Peter Jackson's name is dropped.
As well as Steven Spielberg's name!
Tintin, the upcoming movie will be turned into a game, I guess.
So far, no trailers, or demos. Just box art on the screen.
The President of Ubisoft speaks english well, but I really could use subtitles here.
Another president of Ubisoft talking on the stage.
The approach of this press conference: opening monologue from funny guy, then business talk.
The words "James Cameron's Avatar" spoken again. No screenshots, no nothing.
Ubisoft moving from just a games publisher into an entertainment content provider.
Taking the stage is...
...James Cameron!
OMG quit it with the flashes people - please!
Nice! This should be an interesting franchise.
Like their flash is going to reach the stage from the balcony?
Avatar takes place in the 22nd century on a moon of a giant gas planet.
Pandora, the moon, is earth-like, filled with thousand foot tall trees, other creatures.
Avatars are the human/alien hybrid in the movie.
The avatar is remote controlled by a human who is in a coma-like state.
The aliens are called Na'vi.
James Cameron promises the mother of all battles!
Tech vs. primitive battles.
Seven months to go before release of Avatar in theaters.
Cameron promises Avatar is more like taking a journey, being in a dreamstate, rather than simply watching a movie.
James Cameron was thrilled by Ubisoft's proposal of the Avatar game.
Cameron admits that movie-based games have historically "sucked."
The game will have its own story...with new characters, vehicles, and weapons.
Annnnnd...I'm back.
Pretty amazing that we are sitting here listening to James Cameron. His great movies include: Aliens, True Lies, Titanic, the Abyss, and Terminator.
Uh oh - low power warning. Again.
And Joel McHale is back.
He's doing the teleprompter thing right now.
Red Steel trailer...
Some people aren't fans of Joel McHale lol.
Red Steel 2 takes place in the desert. You play a sword-wielding gunslinger.
I don't like playing with my Wii
