Day One – Barely scratched the surface of E3

I was late this day to conferences and making appointments.  So I decided to try something new.

I will be trying my best to cover all of E3 (game developers)… big and small booths.  I started today with West Hall and finished a good fraction of it with videos and pics.

Hope you will enjoy this. Read the rest of this entry

Day Zero – A Taste Of Things To Come

Ok folks, just came back from E3 Day Zero (the day before the expo starts).  Got some issues getting cleared for E3 Coverage, but it got resolved.

Got a few good teaser pics of what is to come in the next days following.

And grabbed the trailer of Stars Wars: The Force Unleashed II (already released by GameTrailers.com) from a huge screen in the lobby that was being testing. Read the rest of this entry

          

E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) has been known to be one of the largest expo’s for video games in the world.

The spectacle is back and hopefully better.

We went to E3 last year and we were pleasantly surprised to fall in love with a gaming expo once again.

Well this year, E3 (on June 15-17) will be covered by us once again… but with a much larger crew of camera/camcorder wielding geeks that will continue to be thorough with media coverage on booths and news.

Hey guys, it’s that time of the year again… E3 is right around the corner! Set to run from June 15-17, 2010, Square Enix will once again be presenting a FINAL FANTASY title at E3. Of course, that would be FINAL FANTASY XIV! Square Enix is also set to release a NEW TRAILER for FFXIV during those days! Alpha phase two invites have already been sent out! If you haven’t been invited, don’t worry, I haven’t either .

As your resident Final Fantasy Fangirl, I will be practically living at the Square Enix booth for those days, trying to capture everything I can. Is there anything specific you want me to capture? There is also an official Q&A site that SE made for E3:

I’ve noticed a new surge in interest of retro games so we have two things to talk about.  The most recent was Google’s remake of the familiar Pacman it was awesome.  It is fully programmed in java and with a special Google layout.  There are even articles out there about how much more time people wasted at Goggles’ site instead of working which was about 36 seconds additional to the usual amount.  That is over 4 million man hours and over $120 million dollars lost to the economy.

A major requirement that stood out for me:

1) The current tester recruitment is for the Windows version of the FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Test only. Details regarding  recruitment for the PlayStation 3 version will be released at a later date.

PS3 Patrons must wait a little longer for this highly anticipated Beta test! Good luck with your applications!

Happy Holidays!
