E3 2012 News

Zenimax Online has a lot riding on the The Elder Scrolls Online, a game that has been in development for five years so far. I would have thought they would have wanted to make a bigger splash with their E3 presentation.

MMO's are fun and all, but imagine if there was technology to bring your face into the game. Sony Online Entertainment has taken a big step towards perfecting that technology with its new SOEmote software, which they showed off at this year's E3.

Our E3 2012 Filter features a teaser trailer for The Elder Scrolls Online, a cinematic trailer for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, an Empire's at War trailer for Planetside 2, a gameplay trailer for Trine 2: Director's Cut, and a cooperative gameplay trailer for Far Cry 3.

Although all signs point to a late 2013 launch for the next generation of consoles, Microsoft is attempting to downplay the impending new slate of video gaming hardware.

SimCity's E3 demo showed off a number of new features--big and small, including a look at the game's interesting online mode.

A look back at the games that missed the cut to be shown at E3 this year, for one reason or another.

A plethora of upcoming games are on the menu for this week's episode of Weekend Confirmed. Special guests David Ellis, N'gai Croal, and Justin Blankenship join Garnett the two Jeffs for a special E3 2012 wrap-up, and mull over more than a dozen new games.

Nintendo should have "won" the show at E3 this year. But E3 failed to show first-party games that show off exactly what the Wii U is capable of.

Nintendo started talking seriously about the Wii U at E3 this week, and shared a big list of all the games confirmed so far for the new consoles. It's looking pretty impressive, considering there's still no word on when exactly the Wii U will launch.

At a behind closed doors presentation at E3, Capcom revealed that RE6's three stories intersect at certain points, allowing gamers to experience four-player co-op in the zombie-infested sequel.

David Jaffe talks about his new start-up and its first project: a free-to-play, browser-based third-person shooter.

A new Zelda title is in development for the Wii U, but right now the team is still in the early phases of choosing a direction for the new game by examining what worked well in its most recent title, Skyward Sword.

As promised, at E3 Epic properly lifted the wraps off its next-generation engine, Unreal Engine 4. While the real-time cinematic teased before is jolly nice and all, the real highlight is a good long look at the tech and tools themselves.

What if Quantic Dream could build upon the strengths of Heavy Rain--but add more meaningful gameplay, and higher-octane action? The end result in Beyond.

Cooperative multiplayer's pretty nice, isn't it. Rather than shooting your chum in the face, you get to join forces with them to shoot other people in the face. Lovely! How nice, then, that co-op is coming to Spec Ops: The Line in free DLC after launch.
