What's today?

6/13/2010

E3 Amazed by 3 dimensions.

It is considered the greatest american videogame exhibition. The E3 is an indispensable date for the big hardware and software manufacturers of the sector and it's useful to measure the temperature of a industry obliged to surprise year after year.


Microsoft will shoot the start bang to the show week with two previous presentations that will take place today and tomorrow and will spin around the flaming Project Natal, a gaming platform which will enable the user to interact directly with the software using their bodies  and with no need o use devices to handle it.

The official presentation of Project Natal, which saw the light in the 2009 E9 only in exhibition mode, will join the "sun circus", in what promises to be  a shocking show over the virtues of a system that appears to be thought to call the attention of the players attached to the Nintendo Wii .


Microsoft will reveal the details on this platform, just like the final name and/or the price, with the sight set on marketing the product on next fall.

   The analysts point out that the computer giant will surely announce new video channels for the Xbox console, of which could even be shown a new finest and lighter edition, just as Sony did with the Playstation before.


In the other hand, the japanese company will launch the final version of their "PlayStation Move", their Wii-style wireless control proposition, shown in the E3 2009 and brought to the last San Francisco Game Developers Conference (GDC) on April.

The Sony's "Move", just like Project Natal, works thanks to an eye-toy style camera that captures tridimensionaly the movements of the user and bring them to the screen.


After the announcement of the launch in july of the new BRAVIA televisions capable of emitting in 3D, it's reasonable to think the Sony will perform a demonstration of the potential that offers the Playstation 3 in a stereoscopic world, starting out with the game "Killzone 3D".

Althought the domestic 3d will need by the moment the regular polarized glasses used in cinemas, Nintendo will try to revolve the market with the anticipated version of their portable console DS capable to project images in three dimensions  that can be seen at simple sight.

The Wii creators, the best-selling videoconsole worldwide, informed in March that they're taking the Nintendo 3DS to the E3, scheduled to hit the market on spring 2011.

Even so, it is expectable that this company brings some new device that increases the uses of the popular Wii, just like the Vitality Sensor.

"Rock Band 3" brought us great expectation in the gaming ground, which includes a more professional interpretative mode and adds a new instrument, the keyboard, to the already existing ones, the drumset and the guitar.


Between the expected titles for the E3 we can found "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood", "Fable III", "Gears of War 3", "Halo: Reach" o "Cal of Duty: Black Ops" for Xbox, and "Killzone 3", "Gran Turismo 5", "God of War: Ghost of Sparta" or  "Star Wars: The Force Unleashd II" for Playstation 3.

The new delivery of "Zelda" will arrive for the users of Nintendo that will be offered "Conduit 2" or "Metroid: Other M".

The E3, a festival closed to general public, gathered more than 300 exhibitors and it was visited for 41.000 people coming from 78 countries.
