E3 After thoughts!

Well, I believe we are on a brink on seeing something new and fresh! After seeing both the Xbox 360 and PS3 new motion devices, I am super stoked to see more! The body motion sensor with the Xbox 360 (I assume it's done through a camera or something) was quite interesting. It reminds me of an enhanced Eye Toy. What really got me was what what Mr. Peter Molyneux. It struck me how much we've evolved from the days of "Pong". If you haven't seen it yet, here you go!



As for the PS3, I'm so excited for that new motion sensor. I feel that it hits my weakness that I had for the Wii when it was first announced. And seeing as they've been testing out the technology behind this video.

I can only imagine what they can do with it.

Here's what they showed at the PS3 Conference.


The whole idea of having the ability to interact with those objects with that kind of precision is amazing. The ever so dying area of rail gun shooters could be revived so easily with this controller alone. Think of the graphical power of the PS3 mixed with Wii motion sensored games. Everyone wants Wii-HD, well PS3 kind of beat it there!

Oh the last note I would like to talk about is Left 4 Dead 2. Really Valve? Really? A year after the first one is released, you create another one. I don't know how I feel yet but seeing as I might have to chip out another 40 dollars for only 5 campaigns. I might have to wait for the "Steam Deals". Don't get me wrong, it looks interesting and fun but I thought that since I bought L4D 1, that it would at least last 2 years. They better add the new infected to the original L4D campaigns! The new concept for the "Charger" seems very needed and I am wondering if they'll add any new infected that resembles the "Screamer" from the developer commentary. I also love the idea of the witch walking around in daylight!

Those are just some thoughts! I hope everyone is pumped for the upcoming games of 2009/2010!

Oh ya, Uncharted 2 looks outstanding. The part where the helicopter is shooting inside the building and the lights are moving with shadows of the items on the floor = incredible!
