2014-06-10
so the first day at e3 every year is just the news it's all of the news for the whole week we're in Los Angeles it's hot we're driving around everywhere there's traffic there's a million people everybody loves video games and the two biggest things are Microsoft and Sony Microsoft is first Sony is last and Sony where we are right now is in this huge arena in downtown Los Angeles they had food carts outside the event started two hours before the actual event started I don't really know why but I guess it was cool so we all just sit outside and like talk about video games and eat hot dogs and then we're here so this is the big thing of III every single year its Sony the last couple of years especially they kind of won last year and this year Sony kind of won again they came in just full of swagger and confidence and then just kind of laid on the table why Sony is doing so much better than Microsoft one thing they didn't show except for a minute when they were like hey project Morpheus virtual reality and then just kind of cast it off to the side and that was it but what they did show is just a lot a lot of games it started with destiny the game we were waiting to see for awhile and we're gonna see more of this week we're finally gonna get to play it we saw Arkham Knight the new Batman game including the Batmobile which looks sick I was worried the Batmobile was going to be terrible and it's not it looks awesome you get to fight it you can jump out it's gonna be amazing that game looks crazy there was also this game called no man's sky which I don't really understand at all they called it infinity the game is huge and just bizarre and strange but beautiful and colorful and looked really cool and I kind of can't wait to play it there's a game called LittleBigPlanet 3 which we got to see game play up for the first time it's this adorable little game where you play as a suck and you just fly around and everybody has these powers you have to get through levels working together co-op was actually a thing they talked about a lot being able to play a game through the campaign with a bunch of other people online is a really big thing that both Microsoft and Sony talked to that it's really cool I don't know if it'll actually work or really change anything but it's a really neat idea one of the best trailers I saw actually there were two of the best trailers that I saw one was Dead Island 2 you're just a dude running down the street listening to music and all of a sudden you just turn into a zombie it was crazy and everybody's eating everybody and fighting in that game looks amazing it's you know Dom bees are still a thing and that game looks awesome the other word is Mortal Kombat which is just the most terrifying goriest kind of like grimace inducing ly disgusting thing I've ever seen and by that I mean I cannot wait to play this game and go like this to someone's spine and just snap it in half so the list goes on and on Sony's games look great they have great trailers they're excited about them it's really good IP its new games it's exclusive games and they talked a lot about that the undercurrent of all of this was we have things that Microsoft doesn't one of the biggest cheers of the whole night came for Grand Theft Auto 5 which Sony came out announced is coming to the ps4 it's also coming to the other consoles and I don't even know if Sony's getting it first but Sony one big by being the one to say it's coming to next-gen Sony did talk about a bunch of things that aren't games like the PlayStation TV which lets you remote play from your ps4 to a different TV without needing a new console there's PlayStation now the online streaming service there's a new TV show called powers there's a movie based on Ratchet and Clank there's a lot of stuff but that really was not the focus here even when they would talk about that certainly always came back to the idea that they are about video games and that was really what this whole thing was Sony just throwing down the gauntlet and being like listen Microsoft we don't care what weird things you do with the TV we have games and honestly we got a lot left to play this week the floor opens tomorrow there's a lot going on but it kind of seems like Sony won this year yet again
