E3 Offers A Brief Look At Future Of Video Gaming

The Los Angeles Convention Center is usually the venue for E3, a trade show for the video gaming industry. It is among the largest gaming expos because of the number of people who take part in it. People focus on E3 as they are eager for an early glimpse at the future offerings from the major gaming industry players.

When California’s economy was reopening, it was perhaps unreasonable to expect a traditional convention. That in-person event could have been difficult to plan or organize from a logistical point of view. Therefore, a virtual event was the need of the hour, but it offered a few wonderful conveniences. After all, it is easy to understand why such a tech-centric show would also be the right one for exploiting technology. Therefore, each company had a virtual space, with information about how to view its presentations in real-time or otherwise. There were trailers, product details, and the odd freebies similar to a usual convention.

There are many highlights of the event. On the first day of the trade show, Ubisoft unveiled the trailer of its game set in the Avatar universe of director James Cameron. It may be difficult to understand the gameplay on the basis of the trailer alone, but it appears stunning. Ubisoft’s Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope seems sillier, more fun. That said, the trailer of Ubisoft’s game lets us get a sense of its plot, but it offers little as a form of gameplay.

On the second day, Xbox & Bethesda Games offered a proper glimpse at what its multiplayer game Halo Infinite would look like. Word is that old-school fans of Halo would get something to rejoice from it. The traditional style with the only objective of killing maximum enemies still has its fans, whereas the multiplayer gaming format is quite fascinating. On the second day of the show, Square Enix offered a glimpse at its games, Black Panther and Guardians of the Galaxy.

Then, the presentation of Nintendo offered the audience a sneak-peek into Kazuya Mishima’s entry into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In what was perhaps the most buzzworthy moment of E3, Bandai Namco offered viewers a sneak peek into the next installment in its series of horror games. Set in the war-affected Middle East, House of Ashes appears a very gory and terrifying game, so it may not be for children.

The above-mentioned just shows that everyone has something or the other to look forward to at E3. It is to be hoped that we can see it as a non-virtual event next year.
