Day 2 of E3 2013 is well underway and the news about new games, or new details about previously announced games, just keeps coming. Amidst all this, we're going to take a quick break to look back at some of the big press conferences that kicked everything off. Locke, Mike, and Nick offer up their impressions and takes on everything in stunning Ultravision video format! Ok, it's just some regular videos uploaded to YouTube. Enjoy!
Nintendo was all about the Wii U this year, showing off the capability of the system and the software to back it up. Since Mike was up super early to make it to the press conference and get his Miyamoto street pass Locke and Nick gave their predictions on what Nintendo would bring. Mike and Andrew follow up with their thoughts on the presentation in the video below.
Sony brought the games, games, and more games but none of them seemed to be on the Vita. Nick travelled across town to see what Sony had in store for their E3 2012 press conference. Check out the predictions and aftermath in the video below:
Nick was the only one who made it into the EA Press Conference so he gave us his before and after thoughts on the publisher's presser. Coming from the Orpheus theatre, EA had quite the show coming out in full force with their bread and butter titles.
Microsoft was the first of the big boys to present their wares at E3 2012. We wanted to take a crack at some predictions and have some fun with what we might find during the press conference. Mike and Nick give us their best guesses on what is in store from Microsoft and what co-op lies behind their green laser and dubstep filled show.
Ubisoft's Press Conference at E3 2012 illustrated what a talented studio they are, especially when they are pushing the boundaries of technology by being the first to show a live demo of the WiiU this year. Rayman Legends was the piece that caught our eye with 5 player co-op that will be using the unique WiiU Gamepad controller.
Ubisoft just announced at the Sony Press Conference that Far Cry 3 will have 4 player co-op. A group of four friends will be able to play through a dedicated co-operative campaign that will contain a totally separate experience than the single player. Grab your guns and sun tan lotion because we're going to take this island back.
Electronic Arts just held their press conference this afternoon and there wasn't a ton of specific co-op titles to come out of the Orpheum Theatre. One game that was shown that we are clamouring for more information about is the new Sim City from Maxis. The game looks stunning and the new aethestic seems more designed than any of the previous titles, giving players a more tacticle feel than the usual dry user interface. No details were given on how players would interact with each other, but it looks as though there is some form of co-op in the upcoming city simulator.
EA's E3 2011 press conference was this afternoon following Microsoft out of the stables. They kept things mostly low-key for a press conference in LA, taking up a small stage in the Orpheum theater - rocking a loud sound-system and a large screen to show off their titles, and boy did they ever show off some beauties.
