Giant Bombcast E3 2010 Day Zero

We run down the day's events, including the Microsoft, Electronic Arts, and Ubisoft press conferences, plus some first-hand Kinect experiences and the oversized Activision soiree at the Staples Center.

The Giant Bombcast is the world's most beloved video game podcast, and now it's available in video form.

Because E3 starts on the 15th, not 14th.

Because the the actual show starts the day after these conferences; the show-floor isn't open to the public yet.

Also; is this conversation simply recorded from the live-stream? Or should I watch both? :p

Hopefully the head-tracking in Forza will also work if you're using a controller or steering wheel.

@dudacles: it`s just a recording as far as I know. The only things you miss are the visual gags they sometimes make.

Dont want to be bitchy mcbitch here, but so far, last 2 years had much better e3 coverage. A day with 3 conferences and it gets a 1 hour and 15mins podcast? Ryan seemed to be rushing everyone, i guess they all came back late from their stuff, which is understandable, but still kinda lame :/ And again, the seperate video recap was much better than the ustream stuff being the same as the podcasts
 
Im a huge bombcast fan, maybe that why a short one bums me out :D Hopefully the next few days will be better

I was pretty disappoint with the Microsoft conference, I was saddened by the Ubisoft one, whereas I really liked the EA one. They showed some great looking games, they had good hosts and they didn't get a Korean loli kid on stage to play with a fake tige-- D'AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SKITTLES.

Yeah it was a little fast, and it seemed like only Jeffs opinion mattered y'know what i mean? but whatever! i still enjoy it, i was mighty skeptical about the ustream being the podcast, but i like it.
 
I can expect or hope that when E3 really kicks off with all the demo's it'll get fatter, the 08 discussions were mighty and rad!

Guess what? Still doing the full video recaps. ALSO doing live stream. ALSO daily podcasts. ALSO all the live blogs, trailers, demo breakouts...I think you need some perspective, son.

Don't be too harsh on Laura who did the video chat segment, Giant Bomb guys.  She was probably super nervous since being on Major Nelson's podcast is not really preparation for presenting part of Microsoft's E3 press conference.
