Vince Zampella introduced the trailer for the next-gen multiplayer, which shows a blasted futuristic landscape overrun with fighting soldiers and mechs.
The voiceover of the trailer apologises to a dead or lost loved one for getting back into combat.
The Titanfall trailer shows a player’s character navigating the terrain by jetpack, piloting a mech and activating some kind of cloaking device.
Zampella said that the game would “define what this generation of gaming has to offer beyond just hardware”.
Microsoft has announced a “slimmer and quieter” model of its Xbox 360 console at E3 2013. The revised version of the current-generation system appears to feature the same internals as its predecessor, but sports an improved design.
Microsoft has pledged to continue supporting the Xbox 360, with “hundreds of new games” still to be released during the remainder of its lifecycle. Shipping today to retailers across the U.K., Ireland, U.S., Canada and Australia, the new Xbox 360 will continue to roll out worldwide across all Xbox regions over the coming months
The company also confirmed that Xbox Live Gold subscribers are to receive two free games per month, bringing the service in line with the rival PlayStation Plus platform.
The new Xbox 360 appears stunning wherever it fits in the home and offers great performance. It is available in multiple value-packed editions for the same great prices as the existing console: £149.99 UK estimated retail price (ERP1) for the 4GB console, and £199.99 ERP for the 250GB edition.
As a message of thanks to the millions of Xbox fans around the world for their passion and loyalty, Microsoft announced that every qualifying Xbox Live
Gold member new or existing will receive, at no additional charge, two Xbox 360 games per month starting 1st July until 31st December 2013, including popular titles like “Halo 3” and “Assassin’s Creed II.” And to celebrate E3 in the month of June, Xbox Live Gold subscribers will have access to “Fable III” at no additional charge.
Microsoft has announced pricing and a release date for its next-generation Xbox One console. The company confirmed during its E3 press conference that the system will debut in November, priced at £429 in the UK and $499 in the US and €499 for Europe.
Numerous games were confirmed for the Xbox One at the Los Angeles expo, including Dead Rising 3, Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Crimson Dragon, and a new entry in the Halo series.
In addition, for a limited time gamers can get a Day One 12-month Xbox Live Gold membership and play “Killer Instinct: Round One,” with the exclusive Shadow Jago character, on Xbox One. Players will also receive a commemorative Day One membership card.
Microsoft has announced updates to Xbox Live at E3 2013. At the company’s conference, it was announced that the Microsoft Points system will be abandoned.
It will instead switch to real local currencies for all players. Xbox Live will no longer feature a limit of 100 friends.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today announces the Man of Steel game for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, as well as tablets, will be available beginning 14th June, 2013 on the App Store. Inspired by the Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures feature film “Man of Steel” and developed by Phosphor Games Studio, Man of Steel is a 3D-fighting game that lets players combat General Zod and his invading Kryptonian forces on both ground and air in a fast-paced mobile adventure.
Man of Steel provides players with two diverse game modes. Featuring custom, console-quality cinematic sequences, Story Mode transports players directly to Smallville, the Kent Farm and other familiar settings to battle General Zod and save Earth from its destruction. In Survival Mode, fans see how long they can last against a progressively more difficult swarm of Zod’s forces. Players can share their scores with friends to see who the ultimate Man of Steel is, as well as upgrade their skills and unlock new suits by winning battles and earning experience points along the way.
“The Man of Steel game allows Superman fans to extend the movie experience and game on-the-go with their favourite characters from the ‘Man of Steel’ film,” said Greg Ballard, Senior Vice President, Mobile, Social and Emerging Platforms, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “Phosphor Games delivered an addictive brawler that lets players feel the power of being a Super Hero.”
