E3 roundup

E3's main events events are finally over and I must say that it was better than what I was expecting.
To resume, there were some things that surprised me, some games looked pretty good, but I won't talk about the games in this post.

Microsoft's Xbox-360 will integrate Voice Commands to the system, it will work in games and browser, like it is shown in the link. There were some games (like Fable) that will work with the Kinect and are looking good, I still don't like it that much though :P

Sony got some interesting news, one of them is that they will release a PlayStation brand 3D T.V., it will be 24 inches screen with full HD 1080p, but what is so special about this display? It will not only be 3D, it will have a special feature for co-op gaming, instead of dividing the screen in two it will deliver individual screens to each gamer via 3D effects.

Sony also spoke about their new handheld, the PlayStation Vita (a.k.a NGP), the successor of the PSP, and it looks awesome, it has touchscreen and a touch pad in the back of the system, it has dual cameras (like the DSi), it's graphics look good too, as well as the gameplay, they put the price tag at the conference and for the things it have is cheap, 250 bucks (the Wi-Fi version) and 300 bucks (the 3G+Wi-Fi version) (I read that sony expects to start making a profit from it in 3 years after its release).

From Nintendo they revealed the controller for their new system... yes only the controller, never did they speak of the system itself, but that's cool, they showed what matters the most, and that is how do you play with it. The new Nintendo system will be named Wii U (really lame name :P). The controller looks pretty weird, it looks like a tablet. It has a 6 inches touchscreen with buttons at its side and in the back.

It can be used to play directly to the screen in the controller (you know, kicks you of the tv room) and in some other ways, like the ones shown in the video.

All in all, it was a good show, the thing that got me more interested is the NGP PS Vita and some games. Now waiting for the Blizzcon in October and hoping for news of Diablo III and more of Starcraft II Hearth of the Swarm.
