At the Californian megalopolis brings a dowry of 40 000 inhabitants provisional, in less than a week, generating a turnover quantified by the organizers $ 40 million. To gamers, connected via streaming from every continent to follow live the big conferences, ensures hangover instead of qualifications, a carousel of previews and advertisements, as a parade of will arrive on PC and consoles in the next twelve months and beyond. L ‘ E3 , the most famous exhibition of digital entertainment and crowded in the world, opens its doors Tuesday Monday preceded by events (in order) Microsoft, Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, and Sony . Perhaps the festival no longer has the muscle, the appeal and the force of the past, but it remains a point of reference lively, a custom charm reassuring and content, however generous. That’s all that is reasonable to expect from this edition.

GO WITH LEAK
Will Hunting uninterrupted or maybe the greatest possible visibility for the chronic inability of managers to keep your mouth shut, the fact is that now in the field of technology and its no secret that remains so until the end. Of the highly anticipated events of Xbox and PlayStation , scheduled respectively 18.30 hours on Monday and Italian at two in the morning of Tuesday , you already know a lot if not all weeks. Since that have appeared on the net ladders of the two presentations, with the list of titles that will be shown and played on stage. Of course, unless the leak does not reveal the blatant hoaxes, in whole or in part, by returning to the conference the right amount of unexpected they deserve.
Riverside Microsoft, there was talk of Ryse 2 followed the title set in ancient Rome who shed blood and action on the screens connected to the new Xbox One; always among the exclusive, all to the wheel with Forza Horizon 2 , whose presence is out of the question, as well as the fact that the visual impact will be very considerable, and that can take advantage of (finally) the full potential graph Machine Redmond, fastened or unfastened Kinect now matter less. For Halo, always greeted by applause from the audience of the immense heat and Galen Center Los Angeles-, the game is twofold: you should see a Halo movie 5 , expected in 2015, while later in the year we will be on shelves Halo 2 , a remake of the second installment of the longest running saga. At home
Sony, however, large and comebacks: Uncharted and God of War (for both of you to share sailing four) of them all. But the grand finale, being always to the lineup circulated on the web, should be reserved in the wake of a security that has made great inroads into the hearts of the players. The apocalyptic and intimate together The Last of Us you should get back on the PS4 with a second chapter. In the middle you should see cross-sections of other great titles of the fair, from Call of Duty Activision, with Kevin Spacey in the role of villain who is already a cult; the next Assassin’s Creed for Ubisoft franchise that does not fear the pressure of wrinkles, while the cylinder of Electronic Arts released a Fifa 15 that promises a huge leap in football played on the console. The trailer is extremely elliptical, but looking good and we like to think so.

VERSION OF NINTENDO
Last year, the home of Super Mario abandoned rectory conference Tuesday morning with orchestra and brass bands in the scenic Nokia Theatre right next to the Convention Center, leaning towards a more intimate event with standing room only and the bigwigs at your notebooks and microphones. This year, nothing. At least live. Journalists, as well as all the fans of the Japanese, followed by the presentations of new titles streaming . The appointment is at nine o’clock on Tuesday in Los Angeles, the 18 Italian, shortly before the official kickoff of the fair.
Great attention to Zelda on the Wii U, set for iconic blazon and charm if they’re playing almost on par with the most famous plumber in the world, but Louis and partners will – as usual – their place in the sun. On the internet has circulated an image stolen from the stand under construction with Mario Maker , a title that would allow players to become the architects of the parallel world of Super Mario, drawing and creating levels to their liking. Also, and this is more than just a rumor but a strategy groped for a period not easy to leave behind, Nintendo should follow in the footsteps traced by with Activision Skylanders and bring characters and plastic chips, puppets collectible able to interact with the console. The communication method chosen is the wireless transmission NFC. Disney Infinity has shown that the market is all right and also pointed out that the emulation in the business is not a method obsolete or impractical.

SOME LIKE IT HEAD
last year’s E3 was the homeland of the physical, hardware intent to run in parallel with the software. It was celebrating the arrival of two new consoles from Microsoft and Sony. Also this year the festival will have its reference fetishes, well beyond the usual drones flying in a cage in front of the flash of visitors, the little rotating balls and other gadgets definable coming mainly from the East. The protagonist, finally cleared by billionaire Mark Zuckerberg with the purchase of Oculus Vr, will virtual reality with its helmets to jump in and immerse yourself and let yourself be swept away by a parallel and interactive. In addition to Oculus Rift , Sony’s in with both feet with his Project Morpheus .
It is certain that the insiders, after the previews doors to a select few, will have the opportunity to try the helmet PlayStation version at the show and maybe during the conference will be able to know something more about its final technical specifications (it is already known that compared to the existing cable that connects it to the PS4 will work wireless) and above all, which is what really interests the fans, there will be clues to the arrival on the market.

INDIE POWER
blockbuster that parade booth at E3 in noisy and crowded cost tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars, with a peak of half a billion for the cosmos parallel to Star Wars of the much Destiny the brainchild of the study and Halo workhorse of Activision, beyond its usual sagas profitable. But alongside the giants there is a whole swarm of small independent developers, focusing on the strength of their ideas and muscles of a narrative more than the chaos of flashy special effects, fail to impress the audience by presenting every year, the rare gems.
If they remember the big console manufacturers, who increasingly put these talents under their wing, presenting the works at press conferences and making it available for download – even with a good emphasis on digital storefronts – these securities during year. Sony has a very strong feeling and did so much good and, in particular during the last edition. The little put next to the roaring athleticism and graphics performance of the PS4 had a nice view. Microsoft seems about to follow this same path, which benefits an area otherwise sentenced to only bet on horses safe and lose the taste experience, especially to repel the assaults of mobile devices getting better technically equipped.

WE ALSO WE
This reasoning fits perfectly Italy, which counts among its representatives at E3 study “Storm in a Teacup”, translated literally as “a storm in a teacup. ” The name, guessed, is English but the seat is in Rome, and the members are our countrymen. Already flown here in Los Angeles to show the fruits of their labor, Black , a journey into a fantasy world in which the protagonist, a boy, will be the key to any puzzle. Clear from the trailer willingness to focus on the impact of the images, with a strong art in characterization. Privileging, according to its creators, the simplicity. A value of precious and valuable.

So far the expectations, what is already known and is widely expected. To which must be added the understandable desire, while the alternate truck in front of the Convention Center in Downtown and another edition of E3 is dawn, it gets something unexpected, unexpected clearings that all of us believe they already know everything. At the bottom would be in line with the recipe for a good game: fun, engaging and, occasionally, leave you speechless.
