E3

I figured it will be good to have a central thread for all E3 talk/vids instead of having to go through each game thread...more detail talk can go in those thread..


If you don't want this here Jwins (or anyother other mod) feel free to slash it

Isn't NCAA always Madden's older engine?

pathetic that EA still can't seem to structure their departments to the point where 2 separate teams could provide 2 separate games...or even share the same basic engines and work from there. Nope, one gets a new one and the other will use it a year later.

New NFS. I believe I read it's a remake of most wanted. If they add in customization like Underground 2, it's a definite buy for me

I told BN24 earlier today Assassins Creed looks sweet, but it's not my type of game. But damnnnnn ACIII looks amazing

It makes total sense... Madden is EA's flagship, they get all the development $$$ and they want to make sure those sales are maximized. NCAA makes a fraction of what Madden makes, so of course Madden gets the new engine versus NCAA. Especially when they have to spend all the development time to make sure Madden is right. THEN they can move on to NCAA.

It's just where NCAA is compared to Madden.

As expected, Microsoft just announced something called SmartGlass at E3. Less expected? Just how awesome SmartGlass turned out to be. What could have been just an Apple AirPlay imitation, is something more ambitious. Something that could change television forever. But what is it, exactly? It's the lifeline that'll make your dumb TV smart.

It's the lifeline that'll make your dumb TV smart.
SmartGlass is an app...

SmartGlass is a new app that turns your phone or tablet into another screen for your TV, another controller for a game, a companion feature for a show, a remote control for the Internet and more. More importantly, it'll work with iOS, Android and Windows, so you won't need to buy new hardware to fit into its ecosystem.
...that connects your phone, tablet or computer with your Xbox 360...

SmartGlass does more than just push video and audio around. It turns the Xbox 360 into the beating heart of a multi-screen media experience in your living room. A tablet, phone or computer running SmartGlass essentially becomes a second and third screen for your TV.

But the real key to SmartGlass is its openness. Bring your own tools, Microsoft is saying. It doesn't matter. Because however you control it, all that really matters is the Xbox. And that's all Microsoft.

One of the biggest surprises yesterday IMO, UFC has signed a deal with EA Sports....what a shame, there goes that series too

Editorial: Engadget on Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo's E3 Keynotes

But still, it's hard not to compare each of the big three pre-show events and think about which was most impressive. Sadly, Sony was the least. Its event ended with a thrilling demonstration of The Last of Us, and Beyond (from Heavy Rain developer Quantic Dream) was visually stunning. But, it's hard to get past the painfully long demo of the Wonderbook, something that should have been a footnote.

Nintendo was only slightly more engaging. What should have been a thrilling demonstration of high-quality launch titles instead degraded into a tedious slog through NintendoLand mini-games. Such tiny titles may be fun to play, but none are fun to watch. It was Microsoft, then, who impressed the most, but even that presentation lagged at times. Still, the demos of SmartGlass look like they could establish cross-device gaming in a new way. The only question, then, is what the developers will do with it. I'm optimistic they'll make some magic.

Granted, Sony tried to pivot towards home entertainment by shoving a Blu-ray player into the PlayStation 3, but it was clearly a console delivered ahead of its time. Now, however, the world has caught up, and there's no better proof than Microsoft's keynote.

I've never seen so much genuine life squeezed out of a seven-year-old console. The Xbox 360 is perhaps even more compelling today than it was back when I was minor. How is that possible?

After promising a blanket of coverage, Nintendo didn't really give us a lot at its pre-show event. We got a broad "holiday" date for the Wii U's release and no pricing. The new console's hardware was glossed over, and no trailers particularly managed to "wow" the crowd.
