Project Dust is an Eric Chahi game! My interest level just went way, way up...
For anyone who doesn't know, Eric Chahi made Out Of This World and Heart of Darkness. This looks completely different from those, if I can guess about the gameplay at all, but still, it's been so long since he worked in the industry... it's just fantastic to see him back.
Overall, Ubisoft showed some pretty good stuff. Sure, the presentation was silly (though I didn't dislike it nearly as much as many people at GAF), but Ubisoft had far more games I actually really wanted to play than EA or Microsoft. Rayman Origins (!!!), Project Dust (Eric Chahi!), Driver (coma thing is stilly, but still it could be good), Children of Eden (Mizuguchi), Mania Planet (creation stuff is awesome), perhaps the Shaun White Skateboarding game... now that's an interesting lineup. They acknowledged that the PC exists, too, unlike Microsoft, where the only time PCs were mentioned was in the Windows Live messenger-Natal video chat conferencing thing... shameful, Microsoft. In comparison Ubisoft didn't just have multiplatform PC-console titles like EA, they even announced a PC-exclusive game, Mania Planet.
Sure, MS had some interesting ones (Kingdoms or whatever the Crytek game is, Fable 3, maybe the MGS game if it's not all cutscenes?), and so did EA (NFSHP, Crysis 2), but still... for originality and variety, Ubisoft clearly wins.
