hey what's up guys John rettinger here with a recap for you of the keynotes from this year's e3 from Microsoft Nintendo and Sony so without further ado let's go ahead and get started microsoft made a big splash by introducing something called project natal and that is full body motion sensing for the console and the big thing with this was it's all done without a remote using a whole really myriad of sensors that detect your body from head to toe so if you want to do a driving game kinda like you're holding the steering wheel if you're doing a boxing game you actually punch skateboarding game you turn yourself sideways really it takes a controller out of motion controlling and it executed properly i think really could push the next generation of consoles and really set the bar quite high microsoft also introduced videos videos playing on demand and 1080p with almost instant play which is actually very cool you can now download your games on demand which is actually very neat no rentals yet but you can download games from xbox live right to your console they only announced 30 titles at launch but they expect more to be coming later i think i'd be really fantastic especially if they can announce some new releases so day game comes out hit download and you got it right there I think it would be nice in conjunction to if perhaps it came with a voucher to pick up the hard copy of the game at gamestop best buy or another brick and mortar retail center that way really got two copies of of the game of digital and a physical copy just my two cents microsoft also demoed some some new games but the big announcements were project natal the game downloads and 1080p so next thing we're going to recap we will go over sonia's keynote until you introduce a lot of very interesting things most of them were actually hardware-based the introduced first a new PSP go to the surprise are probably no one it's a thin slider PSP we actually this particular model is completely um vive les so there's no physical optical drive in the unit at all you download all your games from the PlayStation Network and that certainly seems to be a theme is downloadable games sort of doing away with physical media the PSP go does look very nice it's got bluetooth 16 gigabytes of hard drive space a ton of other things but the big news is slider UMD less sony also introduced the new playstation motion controller which they clearly showed in poet eck form because it looked ridiculous it's like a black bar with a red circle on top it looked like a strawberry ice cream cone but it is true one to one motion so as you move you know your hand over a millimeter or an inch the cursor on the screen or wherever you're controlling to move exactly that much Sony's not expecting that to come until 2010 much like Microsoft's not expecting project natal to come until 2010 but it is nice to know that all three major game companies are moving towards motion controls through they won't be used for every games up to developers but some games will have the ability to control it via motion which is actually quite nice so some other sony announcements announced a lot of games a new exclusive from rockstar called agents some updates to PlayStation Home really just a lot of games that showcased in addition to the new hardware so Nintendo keynotes actually had a lot of very interesting things as well the wii motionplus which is an add-on to the wiimote which actually enhances its accelerometer reading abilities from the panel that attaches to the bottom or the top of your television screen for again true one to one motion so again you move it over a little bit it'll move just the same some new wii sports games or client wii resort some updates to the wii fit calling Wii Fit Plus with some new games some improved balance boarding really nothing terribly exciting there but they did show a lot of new games they showed a couple new mario games some sides growing some RPGs to showed a new metroid game so we're like a classic Metroid is not a first-person computer called other m which is very cool but what was missing from e3 were price cuts we didn't see price cuts on any of these consoles which really was a bit disappointing certainly component costs have dropped Nintendo is certainly making a profit on every console although they are still selling quite a quite a bit could've made a bigger splash I think dropping the price and Sony certainly the price of a PlayStation still definitely hurts coming in at four hundred dollars us we're also were expecting some announcement of a PlayStation slim Sony certainly slims down all their consoles that did it with the PlayStation 1 did with the PlayStation 2 and we expect them to at some point do it with the PlayStation 3 it was more of a non announcement certainly but there have been leaks trying it box design we didn't see any event under the price another price cromby Xbox really would have been nice as well but what are you gonna do it was very exciting III with a lot of really cool announcements hardware and game wise so it really was very nice for for gamers to know what's coming up for the rest of this year and leading into 2010 and I guys just a recap of III hope you enjoyed leave your comments down below is what you think of the announcements are you excited about
