E3 2010 is almost here! In this episode of the Bonus Round, we’re back in our LA studio talking about the biggest convention in gaming and what to expect from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. Will Sony introduce a brand new PSP and attempt to enter 3-D gaming? What about Microsoft’s Project Natal – will it be a part of a new Xbox 360 slim redesign? Will Nintendo’s mysterious game-changing 3DS steal the show? All that, plus our experts weigh in on this year’s biggest upcoming games and rumors.
Sony is taking actions as video by Moore’s Law is Dead, has been issued with a copyright claim.
The CFPB issued a report examining the growth of digital commerce in online video games and virtual worlds.
Anyone defending their company of choice is smoking something. I’ll provide just a small part of the article. If you really care about the future of gaming you have to recognize all of these companies are just using you to make money by selling off that info. They literally have a profile on you.
“Gaming companies are assembling gamers’ personal and behavioral data: Publishers are collecting large amounts of data on players, including behavioral details such as financial data, purchasing history and spending thresholds. Gaming platforms can also track players’ location data, which can generate an accurate portrait of a player’s daily routines, such as their home address, places of employment or worship, and health and medical status. And with the advent of virtual- and mixed-reality gaming, the information gathered by headsets may include biometric data such as iris scans, eye movement, pupil response, and gait analysis, which may pose medical privacy risks.”
Want to still go with the narrative that your company cares???
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
They didn't talk about anything worth listening. It's like they don't even have a clue.
i'd rather watch the HHG show...
Why even bother listening to any of the conferences, I only wait until their over and watch the trailers. Once E3 was downsized it lost it's flair.
guess I'm alone xD
E3 has gone back to how it used to be now, I agree it was terrible those 2 years it went small.
It's good to hear that natal has lots of software ready for launch. Just hope Microsoft show the full extent of what Natal can do, according to patcher they're at the point where Natal can read your finger movements. Great stuff.
I also agree about the PSP being a portable console problem, I was playing GoW on psp wondering why I didn't just play it on my TV. Games like pixel junk monsters are great for the psp, shame its rather expensive.
Also hope there is support for 3D gaming and hope developers manage to pull it off decent, because if it fails then the future of 3D gaming won't look too good.
Microsoft has everyone wanting to know what's up as far as pricing, bundles with a slim 360 and price points and games etc... I think even the Sony people will want to see what Natal is all about, then they will quickly bash it, no matter how awesome it is...
