Dean’s video report on the latest trends and great games of E3
Here’s a video I shot with Alexa Lee of Ooyala at the Microsoft Xbox 360 booth at the E3 trade show in Los Angeles. After three and half days at the 40,000-attendee event, I’ve soaked in some of the interesting trends. In this segment, I talk about the trend toward a deeper connection between humans and game machines, as evidenced by everything from Microsoft’s Project Natal to Sony’s “magic wand” controller. I also mention some of the best looking games at the show, and what that might mean for game sales in 2009. The video is being played in Ooyala’s new video player that launched last week.
