I know many of you aren't gamers but a truly epic innovation has just been revealed and if it's everything they say it's truly a new step in entertainment. No controller gaming, you use only yourself to control the game. It's gave me new hope that at some point in my lifetime Virtual Reality gaming will be around.

Motion Sensing Gameplay

This link no where near covers the epicness of this, to truly understand you have to watch it. I'm looking for a video now, but considering I watched on live stream about 20 minutes ago it's hard to find. I'll post a link when I find one.

I found a pretty poor quality video, but it shows the basics of what is going to happen.

I found a good quality video of what was shown just before the previous video.

I doubt it'll do much to the industry, it'll probably be nowhere close to living up to the hype it'll undoubtedly get. And i for one hope i'm right. Gaming was fine the way it was, we don't need Wiimotes, touch screens and this.

E3 looks like a dud this year, the only thing worth seeing is if the rumour about Nintendo unveiling a new Mario is true
 
Anything is better than last year's E3, it sucked so hard. I'll be watching the Nintendo keynote but I can't see it touching Microsoft unless it announces a Mario and Zelda game. If Project Natal truly lives up to what I've just seen, I really think it's a step in the right direction for more active gaming and more family orientated gaming.
 
EA press conference right now. Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age, yay!

To make BB'ers more excited about Mass Effect:

Seth Green is in it. (sw)

Dragon Age looks amazing. PC only?
That video looks amazing. Key words being "looks like" unfortunatly though. I'm willing to bet it will be a huge let down. Even mo-cap in video games making you have to wear suits. Just seems like too big of a jump from where we are now.

Prove me wrong E3! Prove me wrong!

I really do hope it lives up to what they say.

Just watched the EA keynote, very disappointing. Although APB and Star Wars: The Old Republic look amazing. Gonna stay up for the Ubisoft keynote, here's to hoping for a Ghost Recon 4 and new Rainbow game 🙂
 
yeah I just caught the Old Republic trailer. Looks really good.
I cant wait to see Steve Wiebe try to break the Donkey Kong Jr. record!

Whoa metal gear solid for the 360. Its called Rising and stars Raiden. Thats big news.
 
Yeah, should be a good game. Hideo makes me laugh though saying it wouldn't ever come to 360. I'd like to say the announcement of Halo: Reach surprised me, even though I despise the Halo franchise, but I saw the game page on Xbox.com like 2 hours before the MS Keynote ¬¬
 
I'm over the Halo stuff.
I hope they don't announce a new psp. I dont want to have to buy a new one.

They're saying it's all but confirmed a new PSP, major suckfest for you if it's true :(
I thought I may as well post this here, if anyone wants to watch any of the keynotes just head here Ubisoft keynote is in 25 minutes for anyone interested.
 
I can't wait for the old republic, im not realy that into RPg's but it would be so epic to play, i can't wait!!

Also is there any news on assassins creed 2???
 
There was just something about Assassins Creed 2, but Im not a fan so I wasnt really paying attention haha I did hear that it will be a different main character however.
 
Assassin's Creed SHOULD be up on the Ubisoft keynote which is starting soon. I liked the first game but it got incredibly repetitive, dependant upon what I see with the new one I'll decide whether to invest or not. Also 1000th post 😀

Yeah i know it got repetitive but it was still so much fun running around and being as free as an eeeeaaaglllee.

i've heard that the new one is set in Italy, i think in the 1400's.
 
I didnt catch one, but like MozYa said Ubisoft presentation is starting soon, so Im sure there will be lotsa info.

Gaming's already family orientated enough. companies need to start paying more attention to hardcore gamers, not families
 
I agree. I hate the Wii. I gave mine to my parents so they can play Dr.Mario.

Brutal Legend looks cool too. Jack Black, Ozzy, Lemmy and Lita Ford do voices for it.

Whoa ubisoft got James Cameron to be a speaker! I think Avatar is going to be cool

Yeah its junk. I'm a big gamer, and I played my xbox 360, ps3, psp, and DS all the time, and I went months without touching the Wii. Theres like maybe 3 or 4 decent games.
