The world's largest video game trade show, E3, has kicked off in Los Angeles, with a focus on the future of gaming.
This year's show is expected to see a lot of emphasis on social gaming and virtual reality (VR), as well as new releases from major publishers like Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo.
Social gaming
Social gaming is a type of video game that emphasizes interaction with other players. This can be done through online multiplayer, chat, or other social features.
Social gaming has become increasingly popular in recent years, as it allows gamers to connect with friends and family from all over the world. It can also be a great way to meet new people and make friends.
At this year's E3, there will be a number of new social gaming titles on display, including:
* Fortnite: This battle royale game is one of the most popular games in the world, with over 200 million active players. Fortnite is a social game at its core, and it allows players to team up with friends to take on other teams in a variety of game modes.
* Call of Duty: Black Ops 4: The latest entry in the Call of Duty franchise is another popular social game. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 features a number of new social features, including a new battle royale mode called Blackout.
* Destiny 2: This shared-world shooter is a great game for players who want to team up with friends to take on challenging missions. Destiny 2 also features a number of social spaces where players can interact with each other.
Virtual reality
Virtual reality (VR) is a technology that allows users to experience a simulated reality. VR headsets are used to create this illusion, and they can transport users to other worlds, let them interact with virtual objects, and even play games.
VR is a relatively new technology, but it is quickly gaining popularity. As the cost of VR headsets comes down, more and more gamers are getting their hands on them.
At this year's E3, there will be a number of new VR games on display, including:
* The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR: This classic role-playing game is now available in VR, allowing players to experience the world of Skyrim in a whole new way.
* Fallout 4 VR: Another classic Bethesda game, Fallout 4, is also now available in VR. Fallout 4 VR allows players to explore the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 4 from a new perspective.
* Resident Evil 7: Biohazard VR: This survival horror game is one of the most immersive VR games available. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard VR will put you in the shoes of a character who is trapped in a haunted mansion, and you will have to use your wits to survive.
New releases
In addition to the focus on social gaming and VR, there will also be a number of new releases from major publishers at this year's E3.
Some of the most anticipated new games include:
* The Last of Us Part II: This sequel to the critically acclaimed The Last of Us is one of the most anticipated games of the year. The Last of Us Part II tells the story of Ellie and Joel, two survivors of a global pandemic, as they journey across a post-apocalyptic America.
