Nintendo might be skipping its annual E3 presentation this year, but that doesn't mean they aren't stepping it up to compete with Sony and Microsoft's next-gen console reveals. This year, they decided to bring their latest games directly to the fans, showcasing the upcoming lineup in a Nintendo Direct meeting. Here are the biggest highlights of the morning.
EA followed Microsoft's E3 presentation this week, focusing on their lineup of next-gen titles in development. Despite the bumpy year they've had so far, the publisher really shined on stage, going the extra mile to prove that they're still committed to the fans. Here are a few of the presentation's highlights.
After a fairly disastrous Xbox One reveal, Microsoft was looking to bring its A-game to E3 in order to win back some of the hype it had lost. While overall, the Xbox presentation had a lot to love, there still were a few aspects that didn't quite work. Here are the three biggest missteps of Microsoft's E3 press conference.
Microsoft took the stage earlier today at E3, intent on proving to the gaming community that they haven't lost touch with their fan base. They promised to bring software, and they certainly delivered, showcasing almost an hour's worth of their Xbox One and Xbox 360 lineup. Here are some of the biggest highlights from the presentation.
Earlier this week, Matt Smith announced that he would be stepping down from his iconic turn as the Doctor, making way for a new actor (or actress) to replace him in just two episodes. The identity of the 12th Doctor has been debated back and forth over the past few days, with Latinos Post readers weighing in on the issue here and here.
Matt Smith shocked fans earlier this week when he announced that he would be giving up his sonic screwdriver in just two episodes, making way for the Doctor's 12th regeneration. There's been a lot of talk recently about who could replace Smith as the next Doctor, and with only two regenerations left, many fans hope that this time it could be a woman.
E3 is just under a week away, and both Microsoft and Sony are hard at work hyping up their competing presentations. Meanwhile, some interesting information has come up that sheds some light on why Nintendo is absent from this race.
Last week, a few early listings for the Xbox One were posted on a number of retailers' websites. These ranged from $600 all the way up to $900, and although they are all placeholder costs, they do represent what store owners feel might be the upper end of the pricing possibilities.
For almost two weeks now, analysts and gamers have been endlessly debating which console will reign supreme this holiday season: the Xbox One or the PlayStation 4. While hardly scientific, we now have a pretty good set of numbers to add to that equation.
This past weekend, we got the shocking news that Matt Smith, the current incarnation of the Doctor, would be leaving the show in just two episodes. After the upcoming 50th anniversary episode and the Christmas special at the end of the year, the 11th Doctor will presumably meet his end, regenerating with a brand new actor.
With E3 fast approaching, we're going to start to see a lot more in terms of both Microsoft and Sony's next-gen launch title line-up. Until then though, here are a few of the biggest confirmed titles so far.
While still unconfirmed, it's seeming more and more likely that some sort of used game system will be implemented on the Xbox One. There are rumors that the PlayStation 4 might implement a similar routine, but for the sake of clarity, we'll just cover Microsoft for now.
"Piracy is killing the entertainment industry," seems to be the mantra of Hollywood since... well, as long as anyone can remember. Studios and distributors seem intent on reaching the conclusion that as long as piracy exists, it will be the preferred option for many consumers. After all, it's free.
E3 is less than two weeks away and after the near-disaster that was the Xbox One reveal, Microsoft has some work to do if they want to beat Sony's console in holiday sales. Microsoft's press conference will take place on Monday, June 10----the same day as Sony's. Here are a few of the rumored Xbox One reveals:
Microsoft's next-gen console is set to launch late this year, but the arrival of the Xbox One is just the beginning of the company's gaming game plan.
