Resume E3


Day 1
On the first day, there were 4 press-conferences( This on different hours). Microsoft was the one who opened the E3. Then came EA, Ubisoft and Sony, this last one ended the first day.

Microsoft proposed a number of games as expected. These games were Tomb raider, South park: The stock or the truth and Resisdent evil 6. There also were Xbox exclusives like: Ascend: New gods, Lolocycle, Gears of war:Judgement and the expected Halo 4. But Microsoft wasn’t the best of the 3 on day 1 because of their nagging what is possible on XBL(Xbox Live) .I Think that Microsoft should remember that E3 is mainly about games and no advertising campaign

EA came on stage especially with games. This press-conference was in my eyes a show of extremes: either expectations or total surprises. The expectations were the new Madden and Fifa for 2013, the expansion for Battlefield 3, extras for Star wars: the old republic and Medal of Honor: Warfighter. The surprises from EA were Dead Space3 and a new Need for Speed: Most wanted. This was a big surprise because I loved the older most wanted with the races against cops, the wanted list and of course the tuning. But after I watched the trailer, I felt al little bit disappointed. Not because it was bad but I missed something from the older game.

Ubisoft was next and like EA they only presented games. The show was one spectacular with a performance of Flo Rida. He presetend the new Just dance with a cool trailer. Other games that were presented were Splinter Cell:blacklist and a Marvel: Avengers game. Where everyone was looking forward to and also saw was Assassn’s creed III. The spectators gat some information and a beautiful trailer who gave most of the  audience goosebumps. I watched the trailer too and even I had to drool of this trailer. The action was cool, the graphics were nice and the surroundings were amazing. The only thing I can say is that Ubisoft is so far the best on the E3.

Sony was the last one of day 1 but there press-conference was a weak one because they only showed some trailer of games who were already know. It isn’t bad to show that but people were expecting much more from Sony. There was little focus on PS vita( and believe me, that the PS vita need some attention), there were only 2 games announced for the PS vita including 1 game that is already on PS3 which is LittleBigPlanet2. Other games that were shown, were God of war: Ascension, Last of Us and Beyond: Two souls.
Day 2
On day 2 , there was only 1 press-conference and on this day all of the game magazines or game sites could play some of the games who were installed in the E3.

Nintendo started the day with his press-conference but as expected they were talking about the WiiU, the new Nintendo console, and de Nintendo 3DS. This press-conference was also a disappointment because Nintendo didn’t talk about the price and date of the WiiU, what everyone was hoping for. Also there were many question for upcoming games like Pokemon Black and White 2 and Smash Bros. U. It wasn’t a bad conference but the people didn’t get that many information what they were hoping for.
Then the games who the people could play on this day were: Assassin’s creed III, Dead Space III, Darksiders II, Star wars 1313, Last of Us, Fable: The Journey, etc… there were also a lot of “secret E3 games” but I didn’t find any information about that.

Day 3 & 4
On this day there weren o press-conferences only games sessions and 1 “secret E3-game”. The games that were set all around the E3 were: Borderlands 2, Transformers: Fall of cybertron, Crysis 3, DMC: Devil May Cry, World of Warplanes, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 etc… The last game of the E3 was the new Star Trek game

These were the 4 day of the E3. Personally I found this E3 a disappointment because the big 3 ( Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo) didn’t surprise like they did last year. The best one of the E3 was in my eyes Ubisoft, just by the nice line-up of games that they presented.

PS: sorry all that this is uploaded so late but due the exams, I had little time. Hopefully you can forgive me this and I hope that I can avoid this “lagging” for the future. But remember Game On! ;)
