Day one of E3 2013 has finished, and quite a few announcements were made. Here's all the biggest announcements in one handy location.
Microsoft
Xbox One is coming to shops this November, and will cost the princely sum of $499/�429/'��499. Xbox One preorders are now available.
E3 is about all about games. And encouragingly, it turned out that Microsoft actually had some. In fact, it has loads of them. It had exclusive bombastic shooters like Titanfall and Ryse: Son of Rome:
...quiet indie games and sprawling open-world RPGs:
...some familiar faces, like MGS V and Killer Instinct:
...games for kids, like Project Spark and Minecraft Xbox One Edition:
...obligatory zombies and racing games:
And games that will also be TV shows:
And there was nary a mention of American Football, Skype, or Windows 8 to be found.
Microsoft's new partnership with EA was strengthened with the announcement that Battlefield 4 DLC will be coming to Xbox One first, and some stunning new footage of the game was shown off:
Oh yeah, there's also a new Halo:
Sony
Sony started its press conference by revealing the design of the PlayStation 4 (it's a lovely homage to the PS2 from the future) and ended by revealing the attractive, and very competitive, price of its new console.
PlayStation 4 is coming to shops this Holiday season, and will cost the princely sum of $399, �349, 399 Euros.�The�PS4 is now available for preorder�as well.
Probably the biggest win for Sony today was the announcement that PlayStation 4 will�support�used games. If you bought the game, you own the game '� that was the clear message out today's conference.
Also, a single PlayStation Plus memberships would cover PS3, Vita, and PS4. It is worth noting, though, that to play multiplayer games online on Sony's next console you will have to subscribe to PlayStation Plus.
Sony also promising that coming sometime in 2014 would be an extensive catalogue of PS3 games that would be accessible in the cloud. The service promises "amazing gameplay" that is "fast and responsive".
We saw the first gameplay footage for Destiny, and Sony announced that PS4 would receive exclusive content for Bungie's new game:
And there was even room for some new games, too.�Sony Santa Monica showed off The Order 1886, and there was an impressive showcase of cool Indie games:
EA
EA used its conference to focus exclusively on the next-generation of consoles, showing 11 titles for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Unexpectedly, there was a new family-friendly, third-person shooter in the form of Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare '� a charming parody of recent shooters featuring all the familiar flora from the original game and some new ones too. It's even using the cutting-edge Frostbite 3 engine used by Battlefield 4.
EA recently acquired the Star Wars license, and since that announcement was made rumours have clogged the internet '� which studio is working on what?
EA used the stage to confirm just one Star Wars, but it's pretty much the one that everyone wanted: Battlefront made by DICE using Frostbite 3. Check out the announcement trailer below '��it looks like we're heading back to Hoth.
There was of course a closer look at its new suite of sports titles, with added focus on FIFA 14 and the publisher's new UFC title:
Commander mode also returns to Battlefield 4, allowing even the most casual of tablet players to get involve with huge online multiplayer matches. Check out how it actually works in the demo below with IGN commentary:
And EA ended its conference with some great fan service, giving the people what they've demanded for years: Mirror's Edge 2.
Ubisoft
Ubisoft's conference was a tad quieter this year, though it did start with a guitar solo to launch Rocksmith 2014, which will let you jam using a range of instruments:
With regards to next-gen, Ubisoft showed off Assassin's Creed IV and Watch dogs, two titles that will straddle console generations current and future. But Ubisoft also had some next-gen titles to reveal, too, starting with the obligatory racing game. The Crew is an ambitious open-world racing game, taking you to the streets of New York City to South Beach. It looks a bit like Burnout crossed with an MMO.
The signs of a transmedia revolution (games and TV shows dovetailing on a weekly basis) was also continued by Ubisoft who announced Rabbids Invasion, an exclusive kids title for Xbox One that will also be an animated show for Nickelodeon.
One of the most successful Xbox Live titles also went next-gen with the announcement of Trials Fusion. It will also be coming to mobile in the shape of Trials Frontier.
And remembering how well it's 'One More Thing' reveal of Watchdogs worked at last year's conference, Ubisoft debuted a new Tom Clancy title called The Division. It's an expansive online RPG. Watch gameplay footage with IGN commentary below:

After a pair of mass online and phone surveillance programs were revealed in two stunning reports, the National Security Agency has decided to go after whoever revealed them.
Understanding what the NSA leaks meanJournalist: No valid claim NSA leaks will harm national securityNSA data-gathering: Overkill or necessary tool?A Director of National Intelligence official confirmed to CBS News correspondent Major Garrett that the highly secretive NSA has asked the Justice Department to investigate the leak. Reuters described the formal request as a "crimes report."
The Obama administration has shown a pattern of aggressively going after leakers of highly sensitive information that it does not itself leak, even going so far as to investigate the journalists reporting on them.
The first of the two leaks were reported in the Washington Post and Britain's Guardian newspaper. They claimed to have information on a program collecting the telephone records of millions of U.S. customers of Verizon under a top secret court order.
The order was granted by the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on April 25 and was good until July 19, the Guardian said. The order requires Verizon, one of the nation's largest telecommunications companies, on an "ongoing, daily basis" to give the NSA information on all telephone calls in its systems, both within the U.S. and between the U.S. and other countries.
The second leak involved a top-secret arm of the controversial Stellar Wind program set up in the wake of 9/11 is allowing the National Security Agency and the FBI to tap directly into the central servers of nine major Internet companies to extract audio, video, photos, emails and documents that let analysts track an individual's communication.
The program, called PRISM, was established in 2007, according to The Washington Post, which broke the story Thursday evening. It culls metadata from Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube and Apple and will soon include Dropbox.
Apple denied any involvement with the program. Google and Facebook also denied providing direct access to their servers and said they disclose user data only after careful scrutiny and in accordance with the law.
The nation's top intelligence official pushed back Saturday against the "myths" surrounding the disclosure of two classified government surveillance programs, saying the government cannot gather data on Americans' phone use and foreigners' Internet use without the permission of a specialized court, and that all three branches of government rigorously oversee the programs in question.
The two explosive stories this week were "reckless disclosures of intelligence community measures used to keep Americans safe," Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said in a statement.
"Our ability to discuss these activities is limited by our need to protect intelligence sources and methods," Clapper said. "However, there are significant misimpressions that have resulted from the recent articles."
The DNI released a fact sheet (PDF) that he hoped would "dispel some of the myths and add necessary context to what has been published."

NBC
From left: judges Howie Mandel, Mel B, Howard Stern and Heidi Klum with host Nick Cannon
America's Got Talent viewers will get their first real look at the two new -- but familiar -- faces on the judging panel when the NBC talent competition returns Tuesday night.
Mel B and Heidi Klum join returning judges Howie Mandel and Howard Stern on season eight of the reality show, which also will relocate from Newark's New Jersey Performing Arts Center to New York's Radio City Music Hall when the live episodes begin July 23.
PHOTOS: THR's Reality Heat List
Ahead of Tuesday's premiere, Spice Girl Mel B, who also has served as a judge on the Australian and U.K. versions of singing competition The X Factor, talked to The Hollywood Reporter about what viewers can expect, how the judges are meshing and who are some of the most memorable talent -- both good and bad -- so far.
The Hollywood Reporter: How did you become involved with America's Got Talent?
Mel B: I got the phone call and got offered the job and was like, "Yeah!" I love this show, and of course the fact that it's now in New York at Radio City Music Hall -- that's a legendary place that makes the show even more exciting. It's a great family show, and people love watching it. I've watched for many years; I sit down with my kids and watch it. It's nice to be a part of it.
THR: How has your experience as a judge been so far?
Mel B: I was actually a judge on The X Factor in the U.K. and Australia, but this is different because I have no idea what to expect next. Someone comes on the stage and all of a sudden there's a snake around their neck or they're putting a sword down their throat. Then there's also singing and dancing. It's truly a proper variety show, and anything can happen. It's like experiencing a roller-coaster ride, everyone is so different, but thoroughly enjoyable.
THR: What can you tell us about the auditions?
Mel B: They're all over now. We've been going up and down America from San Antonio to New Orleans, from Los Angeles to New York -- literally everywhere. We've seen so many interesting acts -- good ones and bad ones. There was one guy and his girlfriend piercing each other wire, through his nose and then through his wife's nose, and then his cheek and his wife's, backward and forward, zigzagging their bodies with this piece of wire. I found it repulsive. They were bleeding, literally. Then someone went up an 80-foot-pole with no safety net and did a handstand. There were normal acts too -- cloggers, dancers. It's been an interesting journey so far. The talent definitely upped the ante over last year. Now they are combining things, riding a unicycle while jugging and balancing a dog on their face. One guy shoved 27 swords down his throat and brought out an X-ray machine to show the swords going down in his stomach. Howard and Howie loved it; Heidi and I were like, "No."
STORY: 'America's Got Talent' Judges Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel Dish on Season 8
THR: What's the chemistry like among the four judges?
Mel B: I've known Heidi for quite some time, and we get along like a house on fire. We give off a girl-power vibe. Howard and Howie are absolutely hilarious. We all come from entirely different backgrounds, but we all have something valid to say because of our experiences in life.
THR: How would you describe your style of judging?
Mel B: I don't think I have a style of judging. I'm just very, very honest. That's it. When you watch the show, you can judge my judging for yourself, but I'm just honest. At the end of the day, whether it's a magic act or a dancing act or a singing act, if I want to buy tickets to come see your show, I'm going to like it. As long as you're professional and entertaining, I appreciate that.
THR: Do you think the Radio City Music Hall setting will bring a new energy to the show?
Mel B: I think it will make everybody feel a little more nervous because legends perform on this stage. It's one of the stamp marks of America.
America's Got Talent returns with a two-hour premiere at 9 p.m. Tuesday. Watch a preview below.

Ever since Independence Day's $50.2 million debut on July 4th weekend in 1996, Will Smith has been the undisputed king of the summer box office. He's led films like Men In Black; Bad Boys II; I, Robot; and Hancock to massive grosses '� both domestically and around the world.
But his latest effort, After Earth, landed with a major thud on opening weekend, grossing just $27 million (distributor Sony told outlets it was expecting $35 million before the weekend) and opening in third place with a tepid 'B' CinemaScore. The $130 million M. Night Shyamalan-directed sci-fi film, based on an original story idea by Will Smith himself, also starred the A-lister's son, Jaden. The father/son duo previously found success with 2006'�s The Pursuit of Happyness, which earned $163.6 million, but this time around, the casting gimmick wasn't enough to get audiences into the door.
After Earth's opening weekend was Smith's lowest summer debut since his first wide release, Made In America, which bowed with $11.8 million in 1993. Discouragingly, After Earth opened with even less than Smith's oft-ridiculed Wild Wild West, which wrangled $27.8 million in its opening weekend in 1999.
So what went wrong? Well, M. Night Shyamalan's name certainly repelled many potential viewers. The director has lost credibility with audiences after films like Lady In The Water, The Happening, and The Last Airbender, and Sony wisely kept his name out of all marketing materials. Still, film buffs (and anyone that read the scathing reviews) weren't fooled. The blame can't lie solely with the director, though, especially at a time when people seem to feel little affection for the Smith family. Between accusations of Hollywood nepotism, backlash against eyebrow-raising interviews, and lingering suspicions about their involvement with Scientology, Will, Jaden, and the rest of the gang seem to be in a bit of a public opinion rut.
Whatever the reason for After Earth's domestic under-performance, Sony is hoping that international grosses can make up lost ground. And that certainly could happen since Will Smith's film's often gross more overseas than they do in America. Last year, Men In Black 3 took in $179 million domestically and $445 million internationally, and time will tell whether After Earth enjoys a similar fate.
But there were other movies at the box office this weekend, too. Let's talk about those!
Fast & Furious 6 topped the chart for a second time, dropping by a hefty 65 percent to $34.5 million. While that's the largest-ever second weekend drop for a Fast film, the well-reviewed sequel has already earned $170.4 million in just ten days, making it the second-highest grossing entry in the franchise behind Fast Five's $209 million haul. Worldwide, Fast & Furious 6 (or is it just Furious 6?) has earned $480.1 million, and it should race past the $600 million mark with ease. Universal spent about $160 million on the film. (Fun fact: between Fast & Furious 6, Pain & Gain, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and Snitch, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has had a film in the Top 10 every weekend since February 22.)
The surprise of the weekend was Summit's magician thriller Now You See Me, which worked box office magic on its opening weekend and earned $28.1 million from 2,925 theaters '� good for second place. Expectations for the $80 million thriller, which stars Jesse Eisenberg, Morgan Freeman, Isla Fisher, and Mark Ruffalo, were in the $20 million-range, but business proved bouyant. Audiences, which were 51 percent female and 52 percent under 30, issued the film an enthusiastic 'A-' CinemaScore grade, which should help the action entry thrive in coming weeks.
Two holdovers rounded out the Top 5. Star Trek Into Darkness dropped by a distressing 56 percent to $16.4 million in its third weekend, lifting its total to $181.2 million. The $190 million sequel is now officially lagging behind 2009'�s Star Trek, which had earned $184.5 million at the same point in its run. Most sequels of well-received blockbusters get a big boost in business, but Darkness hasn't been so lucky. In fifth, Fox's animated film Epic fell 51 percent to about $16.4 million, giving it $65.2 million total against a $100 million budget. It looks like this won't be another Croods-like performer for the studio.
1. Fast & Furious 6 '� $34.5 million2. Now You See Me '� $28.1 million3. After Earth '� $27 million4. Star Trek Into Darkness '� $16.4 million5. Epic '� $16.4 million
Just outside the Top 5 was The Hangover Part III, which fell 62 percent to $15.9 million in its second weekend giving it a weak $88.1 million total. It's truly astonishing how poorly Part III is playing when compared to The Hangover Part II, which had earned $185.8 million at the same point in its run. Yes, after 11 days Part III is trailing its predecessor by $97.7 million domestically. The $103 million Warner Bros. film is unlikely to even reach the $135 million mark that Part II earned in just five days. Fortunately, the film just had a stellar $82.3 million opening weekend overseas.

'After Earth' is Will Smith's version of Take Your Son to Work Day. Actually, he lets the kid take over the whole office. Some Hollywood kids get Porsches. Jaden Smith gets an apocalyptic summer blockbuster to horse around in. He was 13 when the film was shot. Somewhere off-camera, a rabbi must have been saying, 'Today you are a star, my son.'
Sorry, not quite. 'After Earth' takes place millennia in the future, when mankind has long since fled our ruined home planet and resettled on a distant orb called Nova Prime. Except for the carnivorous alien squiddly-diddlies called Ursas '� they're blind but can smell your fear '� the place is paradise.
Smith Sr. plays the bodaciously named Cypher Raige, leader of the warrior class known as Rangers and the coolest honcho on Nova Prime. He's so cool he has mastered the art of living without fear, which renders him invisible to the Ursas. No such luck for his son Kitai (Smith Jr.), a gangly Ranger cadet who's loaded down with guilt over the death of his sister (played in flashback by Zoe Isabella Kravitz, daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet '� you can't be in this movie without celebrity DNA).
Father and son ship out on a bonding mission but crash land on an Earth that has returned to its pre-human wilderness state. Dad's legs are broken, immobilizing the older Smith in the cockpit for the duration, and it's up to Kitai to cross 100 kilometers of dangerous territory to find the rescue beacon in the spaceship's tail section. Oh, and the slavering Ursa they had caged up in the hold is out and about.
Continue reading below
It's very sweet that Will Smith, who wrote the original story and served as co-producer (along with wife Jada Pinkett Smith), has given his son a movie of his own to prove his worth. And 'After Earth' is a passably entertaining visionquest of an adventure, one best suited to 10-year-old boys who'll goggle in awe at the baboons and giant eagles while hoping Kitai conquers his terror and brings it home for Dad.
For grown-ups, it's more of a trudge. The movie is being billed as a two-for-one Smith special, but Will Smith is not only stuck in a chair for much of the running time, he plays Cypher as a military man repressed to the point of constipation. It's a humorless, charisma-free performance '� not exactly what we've come to expect from this actor.
Perhaps he's dialing it down so that his son might shine the brighter. To carry a movie, though '� which is what 'After Earth' asks of Jaden Smith '� you need acting chops and basic screen presence, and I really regret to report that the kid has neither. He held his own as the young son in 'The Pursuit of Happyness' (2006) and as the lead in the 2010 remake of 'The Karate Kid,' but adolescence seems to have knocked the knack out of Smith, and his performance here is tense and amateurish. We're supposed to root for Kitaj, not tire of his whining.
Around here I should note that the movie was co-written and flaccidly directed by M. Night Shyamalan, a fact that the marketing campaign for 'After Earth' would prefer that you ignore. 'After Earth' is a step up from 2010's hapless 'The Last Airbender' and proves that Shyamalan hasn't completely forgotten how to make a movie, but his 1999 breakthrough, 'The Sixth Sense,' is looking more and more like an aberration. If he can forget anyone ever considered him a visionary and be content with being a journeyman director, he may have a career yet.
Still, is it Shyamalan who almost cruelly hangs Jaden Smith out to dry in 'After Earth'? Or is it the pressure of working for the Old Man? We like to choose our movie stars democratically rather than having them foisted on us like royal heirs, and I can't imagine moviegoers are going to fall for the younger Smith just because his father says we should. Maybe it's time for the boy to leave home and find a weird little indie movie of his own.
