Shaun White Snowboarding
Remember EA's awesome SSX series? Wouldn't you just kill to have it in next-gen? We'll just have to wait a while for that but till then you can make do with Ubi's take on the extreme sports genre with Shaun White Snowboarding. Here are some that may make you care about this Open World snowboarding game:
Your Friends Are Always Around: Play in a world where your friends are always around. Do your own runs on mountains populated by real gamers, or join your friends for a quick session from any mountain.
More than Just Snowboarding: Have fun with your friends on and off the board! Throw snowballs, hike to access secret spots, film your friends doing ripping tricks. You can also upload your videos online to share with the world.
Ride Your Way: Express yourself through tricks, riding styles, and highly customizable avatars, both in single-player and in the online world. Use the intuitive dual analog control to pull off a huge variety of tricks that express your style.
Next-Gen Technology: Built on the Assassin's Creed engine, this game creates a massive world with gorgeous visuals and realistic NPC interactions. This is also the first time a snowboarding game is completely driven by physics instead of animation.
It really isn't a Ubiday without some sort of Rabbid action, and keeping that tradition in mind Ubisoft have announced a brand-new Rayman game called Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party. As of now this game is a Wii exclusive and will make full use of the Wii Balance Board. Expect 65 brand new wacky mini-games in addition to an all-new party and the ability to "pimp your bunny out".
Even though Beyond Good and Evil didn't set the cash registers blazing, it acquired a massive cult following who’ve been praying for a sequel on next-gen consoles ever since, well, next-gen consoles were announced, so you can imagine their glee when Ubi unveiled a teaser trailer for Beyond Good and Evil 2 at Ubidays 08. While the teaser doesn't shed too much light on anything, Ubisoft’s CEO Yves Guillemot claims the teaser's been made using the in-game engine.
