E3 is the biggest event in gaming and this year it is bigger than ever. Read below some of the biggest announcements:
Full game Installs coming to Xbox 360:
Microsoft’s planned overhaul of the Xbox 360 dashboard is bringing plenty of new functionality, but it turns out it has yet another trick to spring: A new feature will allow players to install full 360 games onto their hard drives, making for faster loading times and quicker access to the games you play most often.
Square-Enix has announced Final Fantasy XIII for Xbox 360 at Microsoft’s E3 press conference.
The announcement debuted in the form of a new trailer which initially looked like a Panzer Dragoon game with dragons flying in a trench. A ship lands in the trailer and flying mechanical soldiers drop out. Included in the trailer were massive airships. A hint of gamplay was shown and the graphics looked awesome.
Nintendo is really pimping out the DS to anyone who wants a piece. The DS’s newest client? Publisher Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto series. Today at the Nintendo E3 2008 press conference, Nintendo announced that Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will be coming exclusively to the DS this holiday. Developed by Rockstar Leeds in conjunction with Rockstar North, Chinatown Wars will take players inside the seedy underbelly of Liberty City’s infamous Asian Triad crime syndicates. Players will use the DS’ specific controls to guide their cars and characters on what is described by Rockstar as “an epic tale of crime and corruption.” OK, good.
While the look and feel of the 360 dashboard will be completely changed by this update, the update will also feature the long rumored 3D Avatar system. These avatars will represent players and will be completely customizable. Other major enhancements to the LIVE service include Xbox LIVE Party, which will allow up to eight players to stay together across various gaming and media experiences as a group.
