EA & Ubisoft Press Conference Discussion Thread

[DamienHell]

Alright 10 minutes till the conference starts, any predictions?

 

[Zing]

Probably that TOR trailer.

I read on /v/ that Gabe Newell was around and might speak at one of them. But it's /v/ so i'd take that with a grain of salt.

A new revamped DRM from ubisoft that has a different name, but is the same thing, if not then worse.

Now you require a background check and a phone tap in order to play. Pirates will find a way around it within 2 days of its release. Meanwhile Ubisoft will have wasted thousands to develop it and it will only encourage piracy in order to subvert it.

Haha 2 days you say? I think 24 hours is optimistic for any DRM.

I was trying to be optimistic, you have to realize spore's DRM was cracked a WEEK before the release date.

I think It'll be cracked a week before it comes out.

You will now need to be constantly talking on a suicide help line, answering quizes, constant connection, they must have your social security number and you must show your genitals to a camera to play the game.

Violation of any of the above for more then half a second results in Ubisoft melting your processor.

 

[Nmil-ek]

An apology for single handedly dragging gaming and several good francises through the mud, man can dream.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Child of Eden is apparently being demoed at the Ubi one so I think I'll watch that. I'll pass on EA.

 

[Awake-]

Wasn't the AC2 and SC:C's "uncrackable" DRM cracked by Skidrow within twenty-four hours? Some players who bought the game even used the crack, because the DRM was too damn annoying.

 

[The Rockerfly]

Please be Vegas 3, I desperate loved that series with SWAT team stealth and fantastic action

 

[Plinglebob]

I'm trying to decide whether Ubisoft is worth staying awake until around 2am to watch the conference. God thing about it being on the West coast is I have enough time to get home before any conferences start.

Doesn't matter. It was cracked well before the third month of the game's shelf life.

ALRIGHT! The Conference has started with a trailer for NFS: Hot Pursuit.
