“The Crew” E3 Test Drive: A Day One Purchase
Vroom, vroom
Ubisoft’s The Crew was something that really piqued my interests. I’m not a driving game kind of guy but I do enjoy jumping into Forza or Need for Speed every once in awhile. Ubisoft promised an large-scale RPG so I had to check it out. Read the rest of this article…
Who Wins – Xbox One Controller vs PS4 Controller, Fight
FIGHT!
It’s no secret that I like the Xbox 360 controller and despise the DualShock 3 controller. Maybe it’s because I have larger hands that the DualShock 3 was never comfortable and the Xbox 360 controller was. I got a chance to try both controllers are E3 and the results may surprise you.
Xbox One Will Only Work in the 21 Launch Countries
The Xbox name is being tainted :(
Microsoft seems to keep burying itself this year at E3. Confirmed by the Xbox official Twitter and their website, the Xbox One will only work in the 21 launch categories. This is due to the fact that the Xbox One needs to authenticate with Xbox Live every 24 hours. There are other requirements when you buy the Xbox One including waiving your right to class action lawsuits. Read the rest of this article…

I didn’t realize the interface would be a website.
Sony didn’t show off any of the PS4 UI at either of their press conferences and we all dreaded it being the XrossMediaBar (cross-media bar), at least I did. Seriously, that thing did not age well. Seeing Xbox refresh their UI constantly made me loathe the XMB more. But a cheesy scripted video was released that does show off the new UI and at least it’s not XMB, right?

E3 2013: ‘Wolfenstein: The New Order’ Paints A Pretty Picture, Isn’t Fun To Play Yet
Mechanical Monsters, Nazis and not a lot of fun yet.
We got some hands-on/eyes-on time with Bethesda’s new Nazi blaster Wolfenstein: The New Order. The development team, comprised of ex-Starbreeze vets, is creating a new Wolfenstein based in 1960 in which the Nazis won WWII with the help of some mysterious tech. Unfortunately, it seems that despite the polish displayed in their theater presentation, the gameplay simply isn’t ready yet.
E3 Blocks OUYA’s Booth and Calls the Cops
Can’t stop the OUYA party.
Whoa, the ESA, who runs the E3 conference, apparently blocked OUYA’s parking lot booth with a 18-wheeler trailer and called the cops on them. This is a pretty extreme thing to do. Outside of the West and South hall lobbies you can see parking lots. These are usually full of cars with attendants waving down passers by demanding upwards of $45 cash for parking but there are also a few booths that are open to the public, like OUYA.

E3 Day One: Console Wars, PS4 Commanding Higher Pre-Orders than Xbox One
The wallets have spoken.
According to Amazon.com, Sony’s new PS4 is outselling the Xbox One in terms of pre-orders. The Xbox One is not far behind in second place but that just goes to show you that people are still pissed off at Microsoft for their crazy always on and DRM requirements. Johnny wrote earlier about Microsoft’s shortcomings and we talked about it in depth in yesterday’s podcast.
E3 2013: ‘Call of Duty: Ghosts’ Eyes-On
That dog is a killer.
Call of Duty: Ghosts was one of the games shown at Microsoft’s Xbox One unveiling where they talked about the new tech. The new tech including fish having their own AI and a tactical dog were quickly mocked online. Jumping into the theater to see gameplay of Call of Duty: Ghosts set a different perspective to me.
