Sony @ E3 11: Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception gameplay more seamless than ever
Jack Tretton said that some games are only possible on the PlayStation 3, and then immediately turned the stage over to Naughty Dog’s Evan Wells and Christophe Balestra. The Dogs took us through a scene with Drake running around on a boat, chandeliers swaying, Drake trying to gain footing. Drake stealthed his way into a short cutscene, and then fought his way out of a sinking ship – literally. The new limited HUD is nice, though I’m assuming it’ll be a feature you can opt to turn on or off.
Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception will be out November 1. Hop in even earlier to the multiplayer beta, which begins June 28.

EA @ E3 11: Battlefield 3 to get tracking/social service, multiplatform open beta incoming
Battlefield 3 is the arguable centerpiece of EA’s E3 press conference, and it’s certainly getting the star treatment. DICE has revealed that a service similar to Call of Duty: Elite will be launching for the game, where players can track their statistics and organize into squads, even launching the game from the service. We’ll also be able to taste the game’s sweet multiplayer soon, as an open beta will begin soon and continue on until September.
Battlefield 3 will be released for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on October 25.
EA @ E3 2011: Insomniac’s mulitplatform title is Overstrike
Insomniac Games founder Ted Price has taken the stage at EA’s press conference and revealed Overstrike, the company’s first multiplatform title. After serving up PlayStation fans since Sony’s original console, Insomniac will finally bring its wacky weapons, humor, and storytelling to Microsoft fans. The four-player co-op game follows an elite anti-terrorist group known as the Overstrike 9 as they attempt to stop an attempt to wipe out humankind.
Overstrike is in in development for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
EA @ E3 11: Need For Speed: The Run takes you out of the car
That’s right. For the first time in the series, Need For Speed: The Run will have sequences when players actually exit the vehicle. These segments complement the characteristic chase sequences of the series well, as they look mostly like action-packed cutscenes where quick time events determine whether or not you get away safely (and into another car). At EA’s press conference, a live demonstration showed the player getting out during a crash, running through stairwells and across buildings before commandeering a police vehicle. Later on the player had to kick his way out of the car’s window in order to escape an oncoming train.
In order to bring the action to life, The Run will also be utilizing DICE’s Frostbite 2.0 engine, the powerhouse currently running Battlefield 3‘s impressive visuals. Expect more info on DICE’s latest military shooter as EA’s press conference continues.
EA @ E3 11: Mass Effect 3 dated March 6, 2012
