The huge news was of course the two brand new systems from Sony and Microsoft! This would have been the year to go to check out two new video game systems!
Having never been to E3, I didn't know what to expect. Other conventions have you shoulder to shoulder with other attendees fighting for space. This was not the case here. I have never felt this comfortable at a trade show before. No long lines waiting to get your hands on the latest games and technology.
The expo was divided into 2 main halls. In the first hall
were the 3 big names in gaming. Both Microsoft and Sony had their
newest consoles out on display for all to see. Microsoft's main focus
seemed to be demonstrating the kinect's new ability to accurately read
your body's movement and the graphic capabilities of the xbox one.
Sony,
on the other hand, focused on their exclusive games.
Although Nintendo
did not unveil a new console, they had plenty of games for us to try.
The best part were all the cool interactive photo locations they had
setup.
The second hall was dedicated to game manufacturers
as well as aftermarket products. I was pleasantly surprised by the
really cool indie games being developed as well. My only regret was not
having enough time to experience all the amazing things the trade show
has to offer. Also for a trade show, I was expecting a lot of giveaways
promoting the upcoming releases. The few promotional items being handed
out seemed to be restricted to select members of the media.
All in all, I had an amazing time. If you are a
video game junkie like myself, E3 is a must. Thank you Jason for the
opportunity of a lifetime. My Christmas list is now complete!
