A couple of weeks ago was a very important week for anyone interested in or involved with games. The week of June 16th was the Electronic Entertainment Expo (or E3 for short), which is a convention dedicated to the the video games coming out in the coming years. Companies large and small showcase what they have spent the last 2-5 years developing (to give an arbitrary time frame) in the hopes that games around the world will take interesting it in. For the most part everything shown at E3 is all thrilling to see, and showcases the next level of gaming. This year was particularly exciting to watch, for what little of it I've seen so far, as the current gen of consoles is just over a year old. In the first year of the current gen (or any generation) is more about trying out them out, and ironing out any kinks with the programming. With that year over, companies can now explore what the current generation of systems can do. While they may not be pushing the limits as far as they can go, we'll get to see a lot more of what the systems can do.
So I've spent way too much time talking about what we might see at E3 (or really what has been seen since it happened a couple weeks ago!), perhaps it's time to actually go into what was there. Unfortunately I've only been able to see a few of the press conferences as life and day jobs seem to always get the in the way. There is also a lot of details to go through, far more than I could ever write in one post! Instead, I will be going through the videos bit by bit and writing up what I see, learn, and what my opinions are on everything. Hopefully you'll enjoy learning about the next year of gaming as much as I will!
