E3 NEWS, MICROSOFT'S PRESS CONFERENCE & PREDICTIONS...

So the Electric Entertainment Expo or E3 started yesterday and for a first day it's really couldn't get any better. With the Microsoft press conference, the Ubis oft conference and the EA conferences where all held on the first day. To be honest it's going to be hard for Nintendo and Sony's press conferences to better it. But anyway here’s the big news on what happened yesterday.

Microsoft’s press conference was the first thing to kick off E3 and it did just that. Toney Hawk and Steven Spielberg took the stage along with Microsoft’s reps and… I can’t say his name. So to start of with there showed Beatles Rock Band game which didn’t interest me what so ever. Then Mr Hawk took the stage to chat about his new game Tony Hawk Ride which look bad. The graphics are low res and the skateboard peripheral looks stupid. Why not actually go skate if the controllers going to be a skateboard? Then the showed Modern Warfare 2 which I got exited at (even though half of it included someone climbing up a snowy mountain). But the guns looked interesting and new. The main gun the played had had this little screen that showed heat signatures through the snow and fog. They also showed off some driving bits which looked ok but empty, if not boring. Then after some more gameplay footages from games the news came that the Metal Gear Solid franchise will be coming to the Xbox. Kojima took the stage to announced Metal gear Solid: Rising will be coming to Xbox 360. But did anyone notice that they didn’t say it was exclusive. Then Microsoft should off some really really impressive technology with the Project Natal which is just a super web cam, face it. But still impressive.

And that was it nothing else important was shown… oh wait. They they showed off Halo ODST (which looks terrible) and they teased an new Halo game. But that’s it.

No onto my predictions. I predict that-

For Nintendo
*They will show Wii Resort.
*They will play Wii Resort.
*They will tease new Zelda game.

For Sony
*MGS: Rising announced
*MGS: Peace Walker w
hich will be an exclusive game.
*Heavy Rain demo.
*PSP Go will be shown.
*PS3 slim line will be announced.
*I predicts that Left 4 Dead 2 will be announced on the PS3

And that’s all I can think about now. We’ll have to see what happens later on in the day when I will do another blog. I left a link below to GameTrailers E3 trailer section. So check it out…
