- Hey everyone, we're here at E3,
the biggest annual gaming event in the world.
I cannot wait to take you inside,
interview the folks behind our favorite
franchises, scoop up all the swag and of course
play all the new games come on.
- [Female Voice] Listen.
(dubstep music)
- All right we're here at Nintendo just waiting in line
to check out this summer's big game,
this is gonna be so sick who here is excited?
(crowd cheering)
(upbeat techno music)
- Okay folks,
still in line haven't moved a lot
and it's getting warm but who cares.
It's E3, who's excited?
All right finally at the front of the line
and it turns out that this was a line to get a ticket
to come back at 3:30 to wait in another line
to try out the game, but that's fine it's E3, who's excited?
(cheering)
All right let's go check out some other booths
before we come back.
We're here at Epic Games talking to one
of my favorite game designers, let's talk fortnite.
Fortnite has taken over the world where do you go from here,
how do you keep that game alive?
- Oh well you know, we took everything we loved about
the game and put new skins over it.
- Wait, what? - It's a complete HD remaster.
you know, change around the textures of the backgrounds,
put on some different outfits, that kind of stuff.
- Is there anything else that you did?
- Oh of course, this is our baby
we wanted to go all out for this one.
- Amazing, like what?
- Well you know how we changed up the theme for the last
season we are completely changing the game for this one.
- Any hints about what those will be?
- Mostly new skins.
- Okay, well thank you, thank you so much.
- Don't you want to see the new dance
we're putting in the game?
It's called the floss 2.0.
- No, that's okay.
- Improved hip physics, better lighting,
God, you could take a selfie with it.
- Little disappointing but at least I got this shirt.
I cannot believe this, I'm talking to one
of the lead designers behind Halo, Halo!
I just have to ask how do you keep every
game in the series so consistent yet so fresh?
- Oh well we have a dedicated team.
- Yes. - That takes the old game
and re-skin the entire experience.
You know, like change the textures of the backgrounds,
put on some different outfits.
- Yeah but I'm sure you also
thought about the the gaming experience and--
- Oh, obviously.
This is our child, we raised this game together.
We have a whole season
pass that's going to blow your mind.
- Yes, can you give me a hint
of what's coming down the pipeline?
- I really shouldn't but it's skins,
like in this version the suit is green but with
the season pass it'll be blue.
- Yeah, no I got it, thank you.
- But it's online, at the end of the day
how is it the exact same game
if it's the exact same game but online, right, right?
- Now I gotta go, thank you.
Also a bit disappointing but at least I got
these awesome exclusive sunglasses.
Do not put over eyes, okay well that's great.
It's literally 112 degrees in here
so I bought a water bottle for 17 bucks.
Here at IndieCade folks are reinventing
what it means to even be a videogame.
I'm with one of these cutting-edge designers
who was just telling me how they're breaking
every expectation we have ever
had for the gaming experience.
How did you even approach that insane of a task?
- I'm so glad you asked, obviously we're huge gamers
ourselves and we're obsessed
with a proud history of immersive gaming experiences.
So we took a classic platformer and put fresh
hand-drawn graphics on top of it.
Same great vintage gaming experience,
plays exactly like it did back in 1988.
- Oh, no wait-- - Literally the same,
nearly unplayable absolutely
unenjoyable quarter muncher except that--
- I know where this is going.
- We straight up put new skins on them,
you know, change the textures of the backgrounds,
put on some different outfits,
change the stubble to wacky stubble.
- Yeah, got it, thank you.
Really thought that one was gonna be a breakthrough,
but at least I got this canvas bag to carry
all my swag in which would be great except
that the bag itself weighs 10 pounds already
and I got this hat that says I got game
because those are words that I want on my head.
- Next year you'll be able to turn the swords into noodles.
- All right, so I came back at 3:30,
waited in line for another hour and now I am backstage
at the Nintendo booth so it's time to play
the summer's big hit before anyone else.
This is what all of today has been leading up to.
Get hyped, get ready let's do this.
- Here's the controller.
- Why is it wet?
- Oh, hold on.
(magical music)
- Can I skip past this?
- You can but then it will be over.
- You're telling me that I just waited
in line all day for a cinematic?
- You waited in line all day?
Sheesh, you should have just watched on YouTube,
we uploaded it before anyone even got here.
- If it's just a cinematic
then why did you make me hold
this sticky petri dish of a controller?
- Don't you want to hear about our DLCs?
- Well folks that's a tour of this year's E3,
I hope you enjoyed it, what game got you hyped?
