E3 2011

LOTS of BIG topics and thoughts

NEW Nintendo home system
The biggest one has to be Nintendo with its 5 year policy on a home system now that it has bin 5 years its time for the next system to come out. 2 big names have come out “project café” and “stream”
Both names suggest that the system well be more focused around social gaming and internet use.
Rummers are flooding out that the system well not just have HD graphics but beat our 360 and PS3.
That the system well work with the wii controller (so motion gaming well still be around) and a new controller that has a touch screen (around 6 inches is the word) and that the system can “stream” video to the controller to use for things like split screen gaming, or menus, even games during loading time.
The system is also said to have 3D capability but wont be a focus of the system. Their has also bin talk of the system doing away with friend codes (see better online play) and combining the 3DS with game play options. That said Nintendo has said the new system well be shown at E3 and be playable at the show. But not much elce is known about the system, but of course rumors are also flooding out over it having blue ray, hard drive, DLC for games, have a new and better wii style controller, be more media friendly like xbox, (music and video service, and none game options) and look like a modern SNES system. But we well have to waite and see, but we do know that the thing is real

DLC for big games
Im sure their well be lots of DLC content for big games that have come out, or are coming out, duke nukem, mortal kombat, portal 2, exe their has bin some word on 2 new characters coming to mortal kombat (kintaro, lady in red). But not much elce has bin said

Motion games like crazy
Now that 360 and PS3 have their own motion controllers to string out the life of their systems for another 2-3 years there is sure to be a bunch of new games announced for the 2 motion controllers (kinect and move) their has bin much word on a star wars game coming for kinect that has pod racing and light saber fights. But it sounds at this point to just be a party game, still waiting for something for the core gamer to be announced.

3DS
Now that it’s out id like to hear what Nintendo has planned for the system what direction they plan on taking the system and what new games can we see coming to the stores and E-shop what kinds of apps their might be that are gaming centric and how it might work in game play with the new home system.

On a side note im hopping that their well be a game shark or action replay for the 3DS coming out

NGP
Still wondering if that well be the official name or not, personally I think and if I were sony I would want to kill the PSP name as it never sold for any thing and it would be grate to see them try to think on a new mind set for the system instead of being stuck in old ways that don’t work.
But for E3 I know there is going to be lots of news about the system. But I still have to put my 2 cents in, I never single out a system as good or bad, just which I want first. Luckily for me 3DS game out befor NGP so I got that choice made for me. And I am happy using the system even though there is not much out for games other then sims 3 and pilot wings or for those of you that like nintendogs.
But im sure they well show a lot of what NGP can do, we know it has a touch pad on the back and touch screen, that its very round and has a a second thumb stick, the most exciting part for me is not the front and rear camera, and the more social gaming aspects but that it has a OLED screen. Im still on the edge of my seat waiting for 3D OLED tv’s to come out. But the only thing in my mind that could compete with a OLED screen is a glasses free 3D screen. (unless their was both at the same time) and so I have to say that im happy to have both systems and can enjoy the use of both kinds of screen on each system, and for different reasons. But im kind of scared that sony might make the system to mature for users and get bypassed again by Nintendo. In both hand held and home. Comments like “no self respecting gammer would use a 3DS” well im sorry but I think the same thing about your rave glow ball motion controller, no self respecting gamer would wave around a glowing ball like their at a rave with a glow stick. (or was that the plan to get the raver demographic) eather way I well still get a NGP my self buy hope that sony can make something better out of it this time around rather then making it out into something that no one buys and then I have something I cant social game with…again.

To sum up
Other then that, there are lots of gaming coming for sure for the new Nintendo system, for wii, xbox and PS3 just as is, but hopefully their can be a few more suprises coming to the table that we don’t know by now. But you can bet that every one well be trying their hardest to report befor the big show. We got 2 new hand helds out/coming have 2 new motion controls for xbox and PS3, and we have a new Nintendo home system coming soon. So knowing the games coming to them is lots to be excited about.
