Life is a Paradox!
They had very little to show at e3 this year, except this trailer. Very little was shown about the game, in fact, almost nothing at all was shown. Still, its something, better than a lot of companies announcements.
Watch for some extra goodness crotch wise.
One concern many gamers had with the new Xbox360 interface was their ability to use themes. Major Nelson has dissapated any stresses with a recient blog post, revealing what the themes “could” look like. The current preview looks really nice, so thats probably what microsoft will do.
I think that is a great improvement over the current theme system. The current system only changes the background, and as such can render text and other UI elements hard to use. The new theme looks as if it will not only change backgrounds, but change text color, images, and other UI elements.
The LA times has a story on why microsoft canceled bungie’s appearance at E3.
Turns out that Bungie’s latest Halo project was originally part of the program for Microsoft’s press conference on Monday, but it was taken out of the lineup at the last minute. Don Mattrick, senior vice president of Microsoft’s Xbox games business, said the company decided to pull Halo …
… to help trim its E3 presentation to under 90 minutes, from 2 1/2
hours, to accommodate attention-challenged reporters. “We had an
embarrassment of riches,” Mattrick said. “We felt we could do this game
more justice with a more
dedicated event.”

Nintendo has announced another addition to its game line. WiiSportsResort. WiiSportsResort features a large amount of games, quite a bit more than the orignal WiiSports. Some new titles include a frisbee throwing game, a jetski game, and a fencing/sword fighting game.
These games will be played with the new WiiMotionPlus, an attachment for the WiiMote that increases its sensitivity. Examples are the throttle on the jetski game is controlled by rotating the WiiMote, the frisbee angle controlled by the position of the Wiimote.
Nintendo is offering a new feature to DS owners who use their handhelds for entertainment in the airport. The DS will be able to pick up airport data, and show passengers what gate their flight is at, the status of the flight, the luggage information, etc. This will expedite traveling and possibly make the airport a little bit more enjoyable.
Looks similar to the interface Nintendo has had at Safeco field in Seattle, which allows people to view highlights, view other game stats, buy food, etc.
I must admit. I enjoy the sims games. They are satisfying. That said, TS2 was quite a dissapointment. Hopefully TS3 will deliver more.
You can see its trailer on the full page, plus some speculations.
