Did EA announce anything? trying to surf gaf but it's 500 error city because of the Ubisoft conference(I think)

-Joel McHale regrets having kids, as they have taken away valuable gaming time

-Lots of Ubisoft branded features in games, including UHelp, Ushop, and UPlay, which allows you to do all those things during the game. Stuck in Splinter Cell? Bring up UHelp for some tips. Confirmed for AVATAR, Splinter Cell and Assassin's Creed.

-Lots of announcements regarding movie-licensed titles being worked on in conjunction with major Hollywood directors like Speilburg (Tin Tin), James Cameron (AVATAR), Peter Jackson and more.

-James Cameron takes the stage. Talks about making AVATAR. No footage or images shown. Thirty minutes in, and no media shown at ALL.

-OH GAWD WHY ARE THEY JUST STANDING UP THERE TALKING SHOW US SOMETHING SOMETHING PLEASE

-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

-Finally. Thirty five minutes in, and we're to the first game: Red Steel 2. MotionPlus is demoed, and will be bunded in all RS2 games. http://wii.ign.com/dor/objects/86713...gh_060109.html

-Shawn White Snowboarding: World Stage announced.

-Pele (world famous soccer player) demos the game...whoops, the trailer isn't working. Cut to Pele and Joel McHale making small talk on stage for five minutes.

-Make that fifteen minutes. ONE HOUR IN, LESS THAN EIGHT MINUTES OF GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE. TWO GAMES SHOWN. *cries*

-Academy of Champions: Football shown. Finally. For Wii.

-Splinter Cell Conviction shown, same trailer as MS conference.

-NO NOT THE SAME DEMO FROM THE MS CONFERENCE TOO! WHAT ARE YOU FREAKING THINKING?!

-Assassins Creed 2, November 17th. New trailer. CGI. And its over.

what occurred from Ubisoft conference, not my opinion just jacked from GAF official Ubisoft thread
