Here's what transpired on the first day of E3 2009.

Even though E3 hasn’t quite returned to the state of awesomeness it used to be, there were a significant amount of announcements coming out of the Los Angeles Convention Center this year. In case you weren’t following our live tweeting or non-stop news coverage, here’s a recap of the (2) days gone by. Today we’ll take a look at the events that transpired on Day 1. We’ll start off with Microsoft’s press conference since that did take place first. They kicked off their conference with Rock Band Beatles that in all honesty looked boring as hell to me. They spent way too much time talking about the game and if that wasn’t enough we had Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney come up on stage to talk about how awesome the game’s going to be (no surprises there). Even though I was a bit ticked off with the excessive Rock band coverage I gotta hand it to Microsoft for cutting out the sales charts, the PR crap and heading straight for the games. Respect! They kicked off the festivities with a bunch of trailers of certain exclusives like a brand new halo game called Halo Reach, Halo 3 ODST, Splinter Cell Conviction (that we later found out was coming out on the PC as well), Left 4 Dead 2 (once again available on PC) and Crackdown 2 that by the way is not being developed by Realtime Worlds since they’re now working on APB (All Points Bulletin). And speaking of APB, the game will now be produced by EA and should be available sometime next year for both Xbox360 and PC. Since we are on the topic of EA’s press conference allow me to tell you how depressing it was since they spent most of their time talking about casual games for girls, Wii games and Sports games. We did get a Crysis 2 announcement for consoles as well as PC but with no video or trailer to talk about we really can’t get terribly excited. Mixed martial Arts games are all the rage these days and keeping that tradition in mind EA announced a new MMA game for consoles called EA Sports MMA (don’t you just love the creativity here?) |
