the former prime minister. Those are the main stories, now on BBC | :00:04. | :00:10. | |
News it is time for Click. The world's biggest video game show, | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
it's loud, it's busy, and you really have to fight your way | :00:14. | :00:24. | |

Welcome to Click, I'm Spencer Kelly, and welcome to Los Angeles. Now for | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
one week every year the multi- billion-dollar video games industry | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
descends on downtown LA to show the world its firepower. And it all | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
happens there in the Los Angeles Convention Centre. This is E3. And | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
this week the biggest companies are sprinkling their magic over the | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
Electronic Entertainment Expo. But will we be spellbound by what's to | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
come? Plus we meet the TVs that want to give you the blockbuster | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
experience without the games console. All that plus the latest | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
Tech News from around the world, and a new way of sharing photos | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
with your friends and family in Webscape. | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
And so to business and we start with news from the three big | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
console manufacturers, Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. Now these | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
three have been locked in a Battle Royal for the past few years, but | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
while Sony's PS3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360 have proved popular with | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
the hardcore, it has been the Nintendo 'The Week That Was' that | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
has become the best-selling console of the current generation. But | :01:50. | :01:59. | |
:02:00. | :02:15. | ||
another showdown is now approaching. He used to be the meanest in | :02:15. | :02:25. | |
:02:25. | :02:39. | ||
Console Gulch. He dominated this Mad Dog Microsoft McReady might | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
have been a stranger in town... But over the space of a few short years | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
he built up a power base that challenge and then overtook his | :02:50. | :03:00. | |
:03:00. | :03:04. | ||
rival. Now both have consoles with the Xbox 360 and the PS3 that are | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
getting long in the tooth. But who will draw first? Who will bring a | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
new machine into the fight to replace the respective Consols that | :03:13. | :03:23. | |
:03:23. | :03:33. | ||
Of course Nintendo will beat Sony and Microsoft to the draw. They | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
will be the first company to have a next-generation console in the | :03:37. | :03:47. | |
:03:47. | :03:51. | ||
marketplace with the launch of' he. At E3 Nintendo's remaining tight- | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
lipped about things like pricing or when it's even going to be | :03:55. | :04:04. | |
:04:05. | :04:05. | ||
available. But the bigger hanging over the new Wii, can they | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
replicate their success? Legendary games design and creator of Mario, | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
took to the stage to rapturous applause and he wasted little time | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
in showing of the new console from Ninty. A machine capable of H D | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
graphics, that, like the Wii before it, makes use of an innovative | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
Controller. We have a new control pad that has a built-in screen so | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
people when they are playing a game will experience one part of the | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
game, while the person with the control pad can have a different | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
experience. The controller's motion sensitive and features a camera and | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
touch-screen. Almost in passing Nintendo mentioned multimedia | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
capabilities, with movie and video streaming via Netflix and YouTube. | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
But their real focus was on games. Batman: Arkham City showcased the | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
touch control and of course Mario made an appearance in a new version | :05:04. | :05:12. | |
of Super Mario Brothers. And as the old Wii, exercise titles like Wii | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
Fit U and Just Dance 4 will attempt to get a game has to move like | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
Jagger. But while it does look fun I can't help thinking that based on | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
the evidence of the titles on show some developers are struggling to | :05:29. | :05:37. | |
find compelling uses for its new controller. With the new Wii | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
waiting in the wings Microsoft and Sony have opted during the last | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
drops of life from their platforms, the PS3 and the Xbox 360. And even | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
though there are huge amounts of new games being launched for both | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
consoles at E3, both manufacturers have been forced to bring something | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
new to the party. Microsoft came out fighting at its E3 press event. | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
Kicking off with a trailer and game play for Halo 4. Sci-fi Super | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
soldier and Master Chief blasted his way through a horde of aliens | :06:10. | :06:20. | |
:06:20. | :06:20. | ||
new to the series. New weapons... new bad guys. Same first-person | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
set-up. Meet colourful and interesting extra-terrestrials, and | :06:24. | :06:31. | |
introduced them to your boom stick. Microsoft's big news, though, | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
surrounds a system it has dubbed SmartGlass. SmartGlass is a free | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
app which allows touch devices like tablets and smart phones to connect | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
to an Xbox. You would have it and you would know that it is in the | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
proximity of an Xbox and it would know what is contextual the caring | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
in the Xbox, and it would basically allow you to have intelligent pass | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
from the Xbox to whichever device is in your hand. We are obviously | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
be proponents of what we create at Microsoft, we will also have the | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
app available on Android and IRE West. They also announced that the | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
360 will finally support a Web browser and the phones or tabs can | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
be used to interface with that browser. For months now rumours | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
have been circulating surrounding Microsoft's development of a new | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
Xbox. Microsoft themselves were reticent to be drawn into next | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
generation discussion. Look, let's talk about what's coming on in this | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
generation. Xbox has been able to be the number one selling console | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
in the past year. Our Business has generated about $40 billion in | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
sales. No news yet on what might happen? This show is all about Xbox | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
360 so no. It seems Sony is dipping its toe in the cross-platform | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
connectivity pond with games like PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
which allow players to engage in an all-out war using their PS Vita | :07:57. | :08:06. | |
hand-held and PS3. Sony's biggest news was reserved for what is | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
essentially augmented reality software. Sony's dub to this system | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
on the block. It works by placing a special book in front of an eye | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
camera unlocking interactive or augmented technology. They have | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
signed up at least one big-name author who might have just a couple | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
of fans out there. JK Rowling! surprisingly the Harry Potter | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
author has collaborated on a Hogwarts theme to title, book of | :08:40. | :08:47. | |
spells. Solid games and solid ideas from Sony, but not the most | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
inspiring of the three shows. And to add insult to injury Sony would | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
not be drawn on its plans either -- the three shows. We are looking to | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
launch new platforms on a cup of different fronts. One is when we | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
know we have the technology and experience that fully justifies | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
hour asking consumers to invest again in something new. For us we | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
have a road map, we look at all of the trends in gaming, interfaces, | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
how people interact with devices, how they want to carry play with | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
them and we make our best decisions about when to take that next great | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
step. For now Nintendo Wii remains the only major player to show off a | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
new console. With heavy hints of new hardware from Sony and | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
Microsoft arriving next year perhaps E3 2013 will offer up a | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
real showdown. Marc Cieslak with the big announcements from this | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
year's E3. Back to the show floor in a second but now some other Tech | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
News stories making waves around the world. It's been a tough week | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
for business networking side clinked in after being forced to | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
update its mobile app and made privacy concerns the site is now | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
edging its members to update its security after a hacker posted six | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
million passwords on a Russian where Forum. 1.5 million users of | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
the dating website E harmony also fell victim to the same hacker. If | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
you wish someone or something would actually listen to you this lock in | :10:17. | :10:24. | |
IED at five voice-recognition experts New ones. The company says | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
each person's unique voice prints could eventually remove the need | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
for passwords and could even activate personalise settings on | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
share devices like tablets. Researchers at the University of | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
Exeter in Devon have created what they think is the most transparent, | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
lightweight and flexible material capable of conducting electricity. | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
It is so thin that it is invisible to the naked eye and could be used | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
to make touch-screens. With phones this thing we will only find it if | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
somebody rings us. Well there's plenty of wacky stuff | :11:02. | :11:11. | |
on the E3 show floor I have to say. For example take a look at this. | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
How they drive this I will never know?! Now some stuff that we | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
thought you had to see. In a moment Richard Taylor but first Dan | :11:20. | :11:28. | |
Not as flashy as your motor, though, Spencer. What we have here is a | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
colourful keyboard from A union Where. We have seen this before, | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
different parts of the keyboard change or flash that any on what | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
you are doing, depending on what you're doing. Now they have hunted | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
up to some game so it changes depending on what is going on in | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
the game. Leonard is playing a game and when he hit some of these blue | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
warts and picks up some extra points the keyboard flash is blue. | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
When he hits the red ones which takes life away the key board | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
flashes red. The colour sequences can be used for different aims for | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
different things, 36 board, so you might see something | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
for power ups or a general health level indicator. Or it could change | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
based on the colour of the screen to give a more in their sieve | :12:20. | :12:28. | |
gaming experience. -- in massive. It is worth remembering that | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
smartphone and tablet caning is also now fast big business. We are | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
now seeing peripheral sight this appearing, it looks like a regular | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
Xbox 360 control and it communicating to this Android | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
device. It is very responsive and compatible with hundreds of games | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
and that around $50 this kind of device really has the potential to | :12:52. | :13:02. | |
Here are some mobile games that have already gone stratospheric. In | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
Japan, they are so popular, they have their own social network built | :13:06. | :13:13. | |
around them. That network is only just starting to bust out of Japan | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
and hit the rest of the world. The -- the idea is that within the game, | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
you can talk to your friends, compete wit compete witd buy a power | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
is massive in Japan and has 30 million users. Bigger than Facebook. | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
And it is only on mobile. To give you an idea of how profitable it is, | :13:35. | :13:45. | |
:13:45. | :13:46. | ||
this game, a simple card game, makes 20 million the company $20 | :13:46. | :13:54. | |
million a month. Mark Zuckerberg, take note! | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
Sonic the Hedgehog here reminds me of a different era in gaining. One | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
we buy them on disks or cartridge. Or, if you Or, if you nough, cassette. | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
But one of the good things about having a game on tape is you can | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
take it to your friend's house and play it on his machine. And when | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
you are bored of it, you can sell or swap it for something new. Today, | :14:17. | :14:24. | |
sharing your games isn't -- is a lot easier. All you need is a live | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
internet connection. But each of game. Also, when you get bored of | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
it, the second-hand market has become a thing of the past as well. | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
Familiar high-street names that relied on not only new titles but | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
also the resale and printing of games have taken a big hit over the | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
past year. Game, just one of a higher profile of victims in the | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
changing landscape. The market place for downloading games is | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
growing quickly. The online market now accounts for one quarter of | :14:58. | :15:07. | |
total spent on games. Conflicts -- companies are now offering day it | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
instantly, stringing them, without the need to download them first. | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
They serve up blockbuster games playable on will double devices | :15:14. | :15:21. | |
without the need for even a console. Both Samsung and algae have penned | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
deals to use a streaming technology to offer consoled quality games | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
straight to their high-end internet connected TV. You just need to buy | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
the Controller. The Samsung surface starts next month. What frustrates | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
me the mode when I turn on digital TV is seeing icons and knowing the | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
best of those industries are being presented, the best movies, the | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
best music, but not the best video games. How simple goal has been, | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
can we get can we get digital TV companies to put the best the | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
gaming industry can deliver right beside the best movies and music? | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
Because then I think the gaming industry gets its chance to compete. | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
Much like the movie industry, top developers are still reluctant to | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
release their latest blockbusters to stream from the day of release. | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
Many are still wary of cannibalising a lucrative physical | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
this market. But they are starting to recognise that online all live | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
gaining opens up some unique advantages. You can get it | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
immediately. You do not have to go to the shop, you can download it | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
straight into your machine. It also allows us to have a relationship | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
with you directly. We know who you are and we know what you like. We | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
can see what you're doing in the game and tailor it for you. It also | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
allows us to give the Games across more platforms. Today, they must | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
play on smartphones, at work on their PC, and night on the living | :16:48. | :16:56. | |
room on the television. I really think you will see the curve he now | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
for cloud gaming. We have managed to make the breakthroughs. We have | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
nearly 40 publishers behind us now and we have the biggest companies | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
in the world actually putting Inc on paper. For me, this is the | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
moment for Cloud gaming. We are not resting at all. Perhaps the biggest | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
sign that the end of this is not quite inside it was Sony's | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
announcement, that its next console, the PlayStation for, will still | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
sport and optical drive when we hopefully get a glimpse of it at | :17:30. | :17:40. | |
:17:40. | :17:41. | ||
next year's E3. A big announcement from Sony. It | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
has already said the next generation of the PlayStation will | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
have a slot for a physical this. It obviously does not think the world | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
is ready for pure online gaming? Exactly. It is trying to get the | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
best of both worlds. The trend is digital only and streaming is a | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
part of that trend. They also know the market as a whole is Mosley | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
still focused on physical media. There are many people who go to the | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
game stores and pick up copies. -- is mostly still focused. Online | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
penetration is not as high as they would like it. It is too risky to | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
go into areas where broadband is not there for people. They then | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
move that -- lose that market if they go to digital only. City been | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
the physical aspect is important for them. Assuming that eventually | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
we will move to digital delivery four games, do we have to assume | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
that retail stores and indeed the second-hand market are both | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
finished? Here in the US, especially with the major retailers, | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
we are already seeing them taking steps towards fighting a digital | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
only future. One of those things is making sure that you can buy the | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
digital content in the stores. It may sound silly at first but it is | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
important because a lot of people do not know that they can download | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
you condemned for their games. When people go in the stores, they are | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
often surprised that there is a new level where you can download things | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
for your characters, for example. So it is important the physical as | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
that Britons can tell people about the content. -- physical | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
establishment. I asked the question before about you will often get lax | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
and delays over an internet connection. You cannot play the | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
high-powered games. Surely that is still the case? Again on a games | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
console is always going to be faster to respond then something | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
online? The supply. People are not completely sold on the concert. | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
With competitive gaming becoming stronger, you need the split second | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
reaction available at your fingertips. There will always be a | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
bit of a delay with streaming games, just because of the nature of the | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
technology. We are looking at simpler games when we talk about | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
streaming? Something that does not... It -- exactly. Shooting is | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
the reaction time. But the simpler things, the puzzle games, that sort | :20:04. | :20:11. | |
of thing, they are perfectly suited. OK. Thank you. | :20:11. | :20:16. | |

people can dig in for what they want. -- dig in. | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
It is slightly annoying that the default option for any uploads that | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
you make, like this dodgy looking one in the Nevada desert, is set to | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
public. You can change that in these settings. All you need to do | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
is send the link to whoever you want to be able to download it. | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
Head to the toolbox to soup up the act as soon as you land. There is | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
some nice stuff, including a browse of cuttings to make capturing | :21:34. | :21:39. | |

wherever you are. There are many apps out there that do this kind of | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
thing. But point caught my eye for the intuitive interface and also | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
the movie section, which lets you see what is on locally, watch a | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
trailer and you can even said a reminder in your phone's Callander | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
so you know when it is likely to ring. Talking of which, that is me! | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
Add to that the fact that the app is free across all of the | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
