E3 2010

[Spike88]

So I've been watching the E3 press conferences live through my favorite gamesite, and decided to write a rundown of what I've seen so far. Mostly for those to lazy to watch through the mediocre crap.
In chronological order:

Microsoft Conference: I skipped over this just because I don't give a rat's ass on what Microsoft is releasing. Besides it was mostly about Kinetic(Natal)
Although the one interesting thing shown during their conference is the Metal Gear Rising. Which will not be a stealth game but an action game for all three consoles. The main thing that looks promising is the fact that you can enter a slow motion type mode where you can freely move your sword in anyway you want. This can be used to cut through objects in neat ways. From dicing an enemy soldier into little bits, to perfectly slicing a water mellon into by size chunks. If you get the chance you should definately check out the trailer.

EA games: Their conference started off with Need for Speed Hot Pursuit which will be returning the series back to it's basic roots of racing and running frmo the police. You can play two campaigns one as a cop and one as a racer. You can also play said games online in the same fashion. The main thing I like about this title is it's being made by the makers of Burnout(my favorite arcade racing series).

Next up was Dead Space 2, which looks like more of the same form the first one.

Following that was Medal of Honor, which definately looks like it'll be giving CoD a run for it's money(especially online) It looks like it'll be a blast to play, especially when you can man Bradley APC's in multiplayer battles.

After that they started talkin about the sims 3 for consoles and then went on to talk about sports games, at this point I was playing solitaire. After that they talked about their new fitness game and then Knights of the Old Republic(MMO). Finally they showed BulletStorm which looks like an over the top shooter with cursing thrown in just because. Nothing really important here.

Ubisoft Conference: Starts with some guy playing some game for the kinetic. Then they show off AC: Brother hood. Which looks to totally up the action and scale from AC2. I'll keep my eye on it.

They then showed Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. Which definitely intrigued me.

Next they talk about Shaun White skateboarding, two kinetic games, some computer thing that monitors your breathing, Driver San Francisco, Two PSN/XBLA games, one which reminded me of Black and White, Rayman, and then the horrid Michael Jackson game.

I skipped the Nintendo conference since I was at work.

Although Next up is the Sony Conference which I'm highly looking forward too.


Edit: EA also showed off Crysis 2 which is looking to be amazing. Also as a side note 90% of the third party conferences where using the PS3 demos.
