Sony E3 Conference Round Up
Jack Trenton was on stage early yesterday morning to shed some light on what Sony are bringing to the next gen console race. The most important announcement (outside the reveal of the console itself of course) was how the PS4 will handle used games and whether or not it will need to check in online in a similar way to the Xbox One.
Thankfully Sony’s console appears to be a world apart from Microsoft’s frankly pretty obnoxious offering (and this is coming from a 360 owner) with Sony making their stance on these questions pretty clear with the following statement: Read the rest of this entry
Ubisoft Live E3 Press Briefing
Picking up after a little break following the Microsoft press show earlier it’s time for another Live blog! This time with the company who stole the show last year Ubisoft. All I really want to see here is more Watchdogs, more Rayman and hopefully some nice game footage from Assassins Creed Black Flag though I fully expect to see some surprises too.
We will be getting started soon so stick around! Read the rest of this entry
Xbox E3 Press Breifing 2013
It’s not been a good couple of weeks for Microsoft, a sub par showing a couple of weeks ago followed by conflicted statements from execs and finally last weeks disastrous press releases have left them with a lot to do to convince gamers that the Xbox One will be a worthwhile purchase. We have been promised that the E3 press conference will be all about the games, even if it is I doubt it will be enough to convince many people to ignore the frankly obnoxious features (online features, used games restrictions, sharing games, lack of backwards compatibility etc etc) that have many of seriously wavering on what was a sure thing last month.
Anyway enough of my rants the briefing is just starting so lest see what they have to say for themselves. (Sorry if this reads like a bizarre string of consciousness BTW but well that’s what it is!). Read the rest of this entry
Favreau directed Destiny teaser trailer drops
As E3 draws closer, we can expect to start seeing more and more teaser trailers making their way on to the web as game dev’s, publishers and console manufacturers up the ante in the competition for our disposable incomes. Bungie were the big story today with the release of a gorgeous teaser trailer for their upcoming sci-fi shooter Destiny, the spiritual successor to Halo. Hit the jump for the Favreau directed trailer (Yes, Jon Iron Man Favreau). Read the rest of this entry
Xbox One – Magic AND Science…
Well that was certainly a surprise wasn’t it. Is it better than Infinity? Yes. Better than 720? Yes. Is it still silly sounding? Also yes. Anyway, there was no real announcement in terms of the launch date (later this year) or with regards to the price. That being said lets get to the nitty gritty of Microsoft’s new extra shiny boxy box. Read the rest of this entry
Thor: The Dark World Trailer
What with all of the noise surrounding Iron Man 3′s immanent release it would be easy to forget about Marvel’s other big release this year. As is the case with Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World will take place in the wake of the events of last summers Avengers film and will see Thor battling an ancient race of Dark Elves led by the vengeful Malekith who threatens to plunge the universe into darkness.
The new trailer just dropped today and looks pretty interesting. As has been the pattern with super hero movies over the last few years, this sequel is looking a little darker than its predecessor. Oh and apparently the dark elves have a beef with London just like everyone else this year. Maybe they disapproved of the military funeral Maggie got the other week… Anyhow, Thor: The Dark World is due out this winter on December 31st and I am certainly looking forward to it.
