E3 Day One

  Well, I wasn't expecting to write anything about E3 today. I actually enjoyed the press conferences from the comfort of my own home in the city of South Gate on the Mid part of LA County. Actually woke up about 8:30 to see what feeds could I catch. Thankfully there was plenty of outlets where to find the show.

  Microsoft's Conference was very dull, most of it was: "Here look at some  new games and some services we are bringing. We know you don't need them or wont use them but here. Also buy more Kinect maybe?"

  EA was either worst or at the same level, with a bunch of FPS' that almost blurred together to the only semi-highlight. Battlefield 3 Premium, which for a $49 subscription gets you 20 new maps, dog tags , and knives over the course of nine months added to this you can delete game statistics and enjoy expansions in advance.

  The Ubisoft conference was actually pretty enjoyable with titles like Assassin's Creed III, Rayman Leyends, the sadistic performances of Far Cry 3 and the whole show was stolen by Watch Dogs a game that seems to have Next Gen graphic power. Watch Dogs was pretty much the highlight of the day for being a new ip, next gen graphics, and a very real feeling of the story of a not so distant future of humanity.

  Closing the days activities was Sony Playstation Brand as usual Mr Jack Tretton takes the stage. Talking up and hyping the crowd. Most of Sony's conference had a good feel that others lacked with announcements like partnerships to make PNS the worlds largest provider of quality indie titles. A slew of new titles for PS Vita as well as Playstation All Stars Battle Royale(cross platform PS3-PS Vita), A new Assassin's Creed Alternate story to AC3 which actually unlocks certain content on the PS3 title. PLaystation Suite is now called Playstation Mobile a platform that will be licensed to several devices like Smartphones and Tablets to make Playstation brand games available. The highlight of their show was their two new exclusive IP's Beyond: Two Souls and of course the much talked about the Last Of Us. The first one a game that explores the life of Jodie Hudson and the answers to metaphysical questions like "what happens after we die?" As well as an arsenal of supernatural powers. Very last was one of the most talked about PS3 games The Last Of US. The Game seems to have a great AI specially when it comes to that little girl that follows the main character she wont bump, cross or "give up" the location of the heroes. With a kind of real time weapon system that at very least lets you make Molotov cocktails. and my favorite part was the very ending of this gameplay which I wont spoil just in case. Thanks for reading again.
