E3 Reflections

Hello all
Well E3 or the Electronic Entertainment Expo has come and gone now for those of you who don’t know what this is. E3 is the expo where are the big time video game companies show what they got coming out for all the gamers out there and now that it has been a couple of days past and everything has set in we can reflect. Well here is what I have to say about the good things,  and the disappointments. Lets start off with the disappointments

Disappointments
1. Microsoft
How could you do this to us Microsoft. The whole you need to check in to the internet every 24 hours or you can play your game stuff is bull. If I buy a game I don’t want to check in to play it  I WANT TO PLAY IT simple as that. Also what about people who don’t have high speed what are they to do espically after the 360 goes away what then huh. Microsoft this year I was giving you the benefit of the doubt I had an open mind I was really hoping to buy you for the sole purpose of playing a halo game but you have turned me off of that. Microsoft you need to decided what the xbox one is going to be is it a gaming console with entertainment features of an entertainment center that plays games sony has chosen gaming console, and Nintendo has as well, what about you.

2. No ps4 release date yet
Hey guys you have a great console give us a firm release date now ok. The whole holidy 2013 could mean anytime between now and then so give us a time already so we cant start planning the midnight launch parties and midnight all night gaming parties and such ok.

3. Pricing
This is a mixed bag while the PS4 is only 399.00 the Xone is 499.00 and that is without a game with a game you looking at a added cost of 50.00 per game this is so sad espically for Microsoft while I hope they do some kind of reduced system this is still going to hurt them

4. PS4 no firm lineup
The ps4 pretty much won this years E# but we don’t know what all games are going to be available at launch many of us are going to be ordering the systems now so we really need to know what games are going to be available we know a few but you have to tell us all of them.

5.PS4 pay to play
I kinda figured this would happen but it was still a heatbreak to hear it and while I understand it does not mean I have to like it I do hope they continue using the pay cards you can buy and not go totally to credit cards.

The good things
1.Finally we get some firm info
Well we finally got what we had been waiting for, firm info on the connectivity issues of the consoles as well as the used games what did we learn.
Sony supports used games, microsoft doesn’t.
For sony you don’t have to connect your system online if you don’t want to and you don’t need move to play it
For Microsoft you need to connect online at least once every twenty four hours to play anything and you need knnect to play it
While a lot of this info made gamers want to bang their heads against the wall it atleast got the elephant out of the room to let us know where they systems stand on these issues

2. Halo coming to TV
Steven spielberg teaming up with Microsoft for a Halo tv series is great!!!! I played the first halo on pc but not the others but I still read some of the books and comics. The halo universe is a great place for this collaboration and if it works out like it is supposed to then hopefully both the gaming world and the tv world will benefit.however games do not have a good track record in the movie world so lets see how this goes

3. Watchdogs and Call of duty
Watch dogs This is the game I love, I love the whole tech feel of the game and let me tell yea every time I see this game it looks great and beautiful. Call of duty is back and Ghosts looks great also plus by taking it out of the modern warfare storyline and into a new story it opens up a lot of great things.

4. Finally we get to see the PS4
We finally saw the ps4 and it looks great and sleek. I love it and cant wait for it.

5. New halo and titan fall
Halo 5 looks flipping awesome and while as of now I am not getting a Xone I still thinks this is a good thing in that the halop universe is a great univese and the fans will be pleased. Titan fall shows that an new system needs a new io and while it is only coming to Xone it looks great and hopefully will come to PS4 too.


There you have it was a great e3 and showed us gamers what is right around the corner and while there was some disappointments it was mostly good news and hopefully a very good year for gamers I about to begin. Game on
