Compelling but not enough game play in the trailer.

Great premise about time they try to cover some of the first world war famous for its trenches, hopefully the story is very mature. I am glad that they are putting the rayman engine into new types of games.

The trailer makes me sad. Great concept for a game. Especially great new perspective on WW1. The UbiArt Framework is such an incredible piece of tech. I hope UbiSoft gives access to the engine to non-intern Ubi studios.
I'm really intrigued by this. WWI is my favorite part of history to read about and it bums me out that there aren't many good games about it. Hopefully this game will inspire other developers in new ways to approach WWI in gaming(it doesn't always have to be a flight sim or strategy game).

Wow, that is a fantastic trailer. Ubisoft are having a good day.

Love these Ubi announcements, but I'm already mourning the Vita versions ;(

Damn that trailer
Given the engine, we're one compile away from having it on every platform Rayman Legend was on.

Nintendo needs to get a hold of the Rayman engine to make the next 2D Mario....

No Russians?
They saw some of the absolute worst of WWI, to the point where the strain destroyed the country. For a game that's about people's lives in war, that's a pretty heavy omission.
I wonder why this isn't hitting the U but Child of Light is.

Love what Ubisoft is doing lately.
I truly like the idea of a 2D puzzle adventure game based on WW1. Haven't seen many of those around yet so it got my interest. I'd love to see some real gameplay to have a better idea of how the game will be, both gameplay and visually. At this point, i'm not too sure about the cartoon visuals. Seems to be a big contrast with the theme of the game.
Looking forward to more about this game and great to see Ubisoft investing into this type of projects. Got to love them for that.

That's the entire point: to have such a contrast.
For a long time I've been wondering, why we have many FPS-type war games, but not any games that actually delve deeper into the subject of war.
I've personally have wanted to see a game like this for a long time and it looks like it has finally happened. Game looks very interesting!

I love the concept so much. UbiArt just giving us stuff like this & Child of Light is awesome. Ubi gonna Ubi
How many early trailers like this ever show game play?
I can't remember the last time a AAA first trailer showed actual gameplay. Just pre-rendered cutscenes.

It's great to see a company loosen their own chains a bit and explore topics and genres outside their cash cow franchises. Really liking the art style and I'm a sucker for puzzle games.
that's the main reason...I don't want to spam the port begging here and there, but it really would be a perfect fit (and not so expensive to be ported, considering the engine and the dd only nature of the game) for vita and wiiu.
I definitely like the looks of this one. The trailer is also very good at portraying a serious picture of the war, while still conveying a certain sense of humor -- just like a good European comic. That's something we don't see all too often in the video game landscape, where wars are still by and large depicted as the one-sided weapon porn fantasies of teenage boys.
Well one thing to be considered re:vita port, is the vita ports of Origins and Legends were not done inhouse

Holy fuck this is awesome
My guess would be more Emmanuel Larcenet than Tardi
Yes, it could also be the source, or both in the sense > "inspired by 1rst World War French comic books".

Great interesting trailer. Five characterers plus a dog, and four crosses at the end. Sad.
Sure, that's all there is to it. Change the target in the dropdown and hit build.

Wow Ubisoft...what's gotten into you lately? All these original quality games! (not being sarcastic)

If Ubisoft keeps up with these kinds of games then I'll be a very happy camper
YES.
World at War is the most amazing piece of work on World War 2 I've ever found. I never expected to see it cited here at GAF.
Remember this before you write off the (sometimes unfortunate) realities of making sequel after sequel of high-performing titles. For a while, Assassin's Creed and Just Dance alone were keeping Ubisoft going strong.
I was able to get my hands on the framework while working at Ubi. I'm not sure if they're planning on allowing third-party devs access for Ubi-published games, but the process of requesting and receiving it couldn't have been easier for me.
Interesting recommendations. Dan Carlin/Hardcore History also did an amazing WW1 podcast series, Ghosts of the Ostfront. Hmm...I have a feeling I'll be doing a lot of preparation for this game.
Thanks for this recommendation.
