I really hope that we get some new info coming from GamesCom
I asked Mr Shade to take this down as I realized he had previously put the info up as a sticky - Sorry
As people are posting in here I will just tag this on.
Who will steal the show at gamescom 2014? The Man in the Pink Suit.
The question as to who will steal the show at gamescom 2014 is very easy to answer - the man in the pink suit - Pagin Min from Far Cry 4. Sure, we've got many contenders for center stage, there's the gory The Evil Within, the funny Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, the bewitching Shadow of Mordor, the run-of-the-mill Advanced Warfare, but not one of these can match the controversy, flamboyant style and engaging presence of Pagin Min. I predict he will be the number one video game villain of all time.
Ubisoft's has a very impressive lineup for gamescom, I won't be surprised if the company walks away with more awards than other studios.
- Far Cry 4
- Assassin's Creed: Unity
- Assassin’s Creed Rogue
- Tom Clancy’s The Division
- The Crew
- Just Dance 2015
- Just Dance Now
- The Settlers Kingdom of Anteria
- Shape Up
- I'm sure there will be a surprise of some kind
To dazzle fans even further, Ubisoft will showcase Assassin’s Creed Unity and The Division in dedicated 150-person and 85-person theaters. Far Cry 4 will be playable on 90 pods, the biggest demo installation of its kind for Ubisoft AND fans can take a seat on Pagin Min's throne for a photo. The Crew will be available on 24, with the popular simulation chair available again for players who want the added thrill of playing from an interactive driver’s seat.
How can any other franchise come close to beating Ubisoft at gamescom 2014?
