E3: Four Days Down, Zero To Go

ChaseB · 06-04-2009, 11:19 PM

E3 is thankfully over. As much fun as it was, I'm happy today was the final day. I'm sitting here at the airport, and in a couple hours I will be catching a late flight back to Philly.

Anyway, what did I do today? Well, I interviewed Peter Moore, captured some footage of some racing games (Need for Speed, Forza, Split Second) and also played some racing games (I heart Split Second). I also got a little more Madden NFL 10 footage and snagged a bunch of quick little videos so I could do some screen grabs and pop some images up on the site.

Overall, a pretty successful trip, and I'll be writing more about the games I saw and played during the next week. Expect to see some of my raw and edgy shaky-cam footage this weekend as well.

One last thing before I end this meaningless article: I was a little disappointed that there were not more diamonds in the rough on the show floor this year. I dedicated a large part of my day to finding the "hidden gems" at E3, but I simply did not find many sports games on the show floor to even play. Perhaps companies don't think about creating small-budget sports titles, or maybe they just don't think they would show well in this type of environment. Regardless, I wish there had been more sports games to cover at E3 this year.

Split Second is really shaping up to be a game I'm looking forward to.

IMO it went by really fast and when they announced the big surprise or whatever we already knew what it was, well most of use did but i am still excited because the game play looks good and they fixed a lot of issues too.

The only reason we knew what the big surprise was was because there is a constant barrage of information flowing. I'm surprised the secret held so long. We kinda knew before that one Ian vid leaked the info, but I liked how they revealed it with the trailer.

Thanks Chase for the updates. I'd like to get to E3 someday myself.
