BBC NEWS | Technology | Games showcase hits Los Angeles
The clash between expected new hardware and to be shown software is the central theme of this article on the Beeb. The balancing act between keeping your current punters happy and continuing to extract their money against getting the to 'save' up for the next technology layer and then take more of their money! I think I am being a little cynical.
There are certainly a number of games I have bought into the hype about: Halo2, Doom 3 and Half Life 2 being the prime candidates.
I guess though that primarily I am awaiting the announcement of the so called 3rd wave gaming technology, to see what additional functionality they wil have that will make me pay attention - impulse purchase of full games over a braodband connection? Pay per view? Make me lunch (or tea) while I game? I don't expect these answers from E3 this year but still its fun to see what's coming out.
