Category: E3 2010

You might remember this trailer for Deus Ex 3, which didn’t really tell us much of anything about the game. In fact, there’s no gameplay in the video. There’s really nothing in the video at all, except for some abstract… Stuff.

Well, we’ve got a new trailer for you, which shows off a little more than “stuff”.

Unfortunately, we don’t get to see any combat in this trailer, either. But we do get to see what appears to be the main character having some sort of trippy, angelic dream where he flies into the sun and burns.

It’s unclear whether or not you’ll be playing as JC Denton or another clone of him like the previous titles, but the likeness is uncanny, so I feel it’s a safe bet that you play as another clone again.

We’ve got some screenshots and the new trailer after the jump.

In an announcement that will surprise no-one, Microsoft has stated today that the brunt of its Natal line-up with be show off at this year’s E3.

“We have very strong first and third-party developer support for [Natal]. Needless to say, we’re putting some of our best people on coming up with great game ideas for this, and we’re going to have some great stuff,” said Microsoft CFO Mindy Mount, speaking at the Jefferies Annual Global Technology Conference in New York today.

“As a history, Microsoft works very strong with third-party developers, so we’re hoping that we’re going to get some great titles from that. You’ll be able to see more news about that this summer at E3. We’ll show you the full line-up.”

The yet-to-be-officially-named motion-capturing gaming device, Natal, is currently rumoured for an October release date. This journalist, personally, is very excited about seeing what Microsoft has to reveal for the device at this year’s E3.

Video game analyst Michael Pachter has surmised that Microsoft’s Project Natal will sell for $50.

The Wedbush Morgan analyst stated his speculation on his new GT spot Pach-Attack.

“My guess is, talking to my hardware specialist colleagues at Wedbush, it’s about $50 in cost.

“I’d be very surprised if the thing is more then $79, and I really think it’s going to be $50. Microsoft’s not trying to make money on the device, trying to get everybody to have the device so that they can sell us other things, eventually can sell us a lot more Xbox 360s.

“My call is $50, I think that’s where it’s going to be launched.”

Project Natal has no confirmed price, exact date of release, or even an official name, but the name will be unveiled at this year’s E3 (most likely along with a price) and the item itself is confirmed to be released this year-end holiday season.

Pachter seems awfully confident, especially when he’s been wrong before.

Even if they haven’t been there, most gamers follow E3 with the highest of scrutiny. And with good reason, as most of the good shit gets announced at E3.

While the convention itself is five months away the buzz machine seems to official start now as the event’s exhibitor list has gone live on the official E3 website.

Observant readers may have noticed that neither Take-Two, Blizzard or 2K Games are on the list. Blizzard are probably holding off until Blizcon, but the two others are strangely missing.

We probably won’t be able to attend the convention itself, but we’ll be covering all the press conferences so expect lots of updates when the time comes.

Destructoid picked upon a survey by Microsoft today indicating that it might bring E3 2010 directly to the home console, allowing people to “attend” a virtual version of the event. For free!

The service (stated to be free), would allow your Avatar to walk around a virtual show-floor of the event, with booths for all the major publishers, holding videos, trailers and possibly even demos and betas to interact with. Of course, the press conference would also be streamed, if things went according to plan.

GamesCom, BlizzCon and other gaming conventions are apparently also being looked at. Full details on this inventive idea through the link.
