Reader Adam Loncar pointed me to an Ubisoft press release promising "special guests that are certain to thrill attendees and web viewers." It would certainly be awesome if Cameron showed up to help show off the Avatar game.

Will the Avatar game be shown? MCV is reporting that it will be unveiled at E3. The site reportedly spoke to Ubisoft's European Executive Director Alain Corre, who told them that “People will be dreaming about Avatar after seeing it at E3. People will have never witnessed anything like it before. This is an investment in technology we will be able to put into our future products.”

Referring to 3D technology, Corre said “This is a brand new visual approach to gaming and movies. Hopefully, it will capture everyone’s attention. We know not all the gamers will be able to own that technology. But we’ll be able to get it to many of them. This 3D aspect will one day become must-have."

Interesting. I wonder what method of 3D they will be using. By the sound of it, its more advanced than simple anaglyph so this is very promising news. Also good to hear that they will be using it in future games too, this just keeps getting better and better. Can't wait to find out more.
