Now on Bbc News, click. Hey, welcome to click. Lovely to see you out in the sunshine. Lovely to see you too, lara. How are you doing . And you im good. The sunshine is wonderful. Mmm, yes. But, of course, at this time of year, were usually enjoying the Los Angeles sun, getting ready for e3, the massive video Games Convention. Yeah. But even though were not in la, were darn gonna dress like it this is what e3 looks like. This is what e3 sounds like. All roar. Basically, the Gaming World takes over las convention centre, theatres and hotels to launch the latest games and consoles with as much pizazz as tinseltown can muster, which is a lot. For the second year running, la wont be crammed with gamers because the whole event has been moved online. Yeah, i do hope that hollywood has another industry to fall back on. All of this means that Marc Cieslak Cant live the la life while he covers the expo, but hilariously, he has to keep la hours. So heres his Bleary Eyed report we had some of this. You are go for launch. But none of this. Cheering and applause. The Covid 19 pandemic means the annual e3 Games Convention has done away with its usual physical event in favour of an online affair. Im in london, not la, and there is an E3 Event of sorts on. First out of the blocks this online only e3 where ubisoft. Theyd drafted in an actor whos broken bad and mopped Up A Mandalorian to star as the villain in their new game, Far Cry 6. These fish . Giancarlo esposito is starring as anton castillo, the big bad running a fictional Caribbean Dictatorship in open World Shooter Far Cry 6. The titles brought into sharp focus the issue of politics, or political themes, in games. The reality is every piece of work that you put out in the world is political to some degree. Whether its a film, a book, a Tv Show or game, Far Cry 6 is no different. So what interests me is, you know, what are we talking about . What themes are we hitting, you know . For example, we talk about the rise of fascism, we talk about human rights, we talk about imperialism in the context of a revolution, a modern revolution. After developing the Tie In Game to james camerons first Avatar Movie a title which, its fair to say, failed to set Pandora Alight unisoft� s having another stab at a game starring nine foot tall blue cat people. Details about the next Avatar Film are thin on the ground but the events cinematic suggests the game will focus on adventures in the movies universe, rather than a retread of the big screen experience. Xbox was the next show in the E3 Line up and after spending the gdp of a small country on acquiring mega publisher bethesda, expectations were high. Halo infinite was supposed to launch alongside the Xbox Series x. However, when fans got a first look at the game last year, its putting it mildly to say they were unimpressed. In fact, adverse Fan Reaction forced developments 3a3 into delaying the game, to spend more time tweaking it. The flag is ours. The most important thing is the quality of the games. We know that. Our customers tell us that our own teams feel that. And its been a difficult year when you think about production in the time of Covid 19. We took the feedback from people, we brought a new leadership and this was a Big Time for us to show multiplayer, you know . Halos multiplayers always been such a strength. Xbox played it safe by showing multiplayer gameplay, which included looks at special Armour Fan favourite weapons like the energy sword, and in a challenge to the likes of Call Of Duty warzone, Halo Multiplayer will be free to play. I think you see how these free to play Multiplayer Games have really done well. You can look at things like pubg, you can look at fortnite, you can look at warzone. And when you have multiplayer, it really is about a vibrant and growing player base, and that is our goal. And weve always said when everyone plays, we all win. Tell me what you want and ill tell you what im gonna do. Forza 5 horizon heads to mexico, demoing a Jungle Rally from its Campaign Mode and some incredible landscapes, along with very, very shiny cars. But one of the biggest Ticket Items came courtesy of that 7. 5 billion acquisition of zenimax, bethesdas parent company. This might be the first new Games Franchise in 25 years from the developer behind the Fallout And Elder scrolls games but bethesda still have not shown us any starfield gameplay. I think the problem, for me, with starfield is that we dont really know what the game is going to be like to play. We know its gonna be open world, youre gonna have the freedom to do what you want, but that trailer did a really bad job of showing me why i should be excited, why i should be, you know, adding it to a Wish List somewhere to make sure that i am, you know, in the know for all of the new information. Like, it looked fantastic but i think there was such a disconnect between the presentation and the actual reality of what that game is going to be. We did get a very atmospheric cinematic and a Launch Date 11 November 2022 for this hugely anticipated sci fi rpg. It will also arrive Day One on xboxs subscription service, Game Pass. What about the big No Show . Playstation sony bowed out of e3 back in 2019. Does its absence leave the field clear for Arch Rival Xbox to do some catching up . Playstation really was very conspicuous by its absence but i think the fight that microsoft finally came together with what it has been doing over the past four or five years, of buying different developers, i think in that Case Microsoft suddenly showed the results of what its been doing and suddenly, people actually thought some people, for the first time, ithink, thought xbox Game Pass i think i need this. Seeing all those big games labelled as Day One on xbox Game Pass is a very, very attractive proposition for gamers especially when youre looking at, you know, £70, 70 Triple A purchases for the ps5. And looking at what the Xbox Series x has for 2022 and not really knowing what sony is doing for this christmas, let alone in 2022, is a really precarious situation for them to be in. Its a me, wario the last major show belonged to nintendo. Theyd already quashed any hopes of seeing a new, more powerful version the switch. Instead, nintendo relied on one of its biggest franchises, zelda, doing all the heavy lifting. The legend of Zelda Breath of the wild 2 is still in development but a new trailer revealed that as well as adventuring on terra firma, link will also take to the skies. We got a tiny bit of gameplay, but little else. Its slated for release some time in 2022. Nintendo has been raiding the back of the cupboards with switch refreshes for the likes of warioware, which challenges the player to complete a dizzying array of mini games such as Peeling Face masks and avoiding Bird Food while beating a ticking clock. Wah rats as well as super Monkey Ball Banana mania, celebrating 20 years of sphere rolling simians. This certainly was not the e3 that we are used to but its Worth Remembering that the pandemic has slowed down and disrupted lots of video game development, so its a minor miracle that we got to see any new content at all. With any luck, well have an event that we can attend in person in 2022. This is the Matepad Pro and its the first chance ive had to go hands on with the new harmony0s, Huaweis Replacement for android that it says is a next generation operating system. After Donald Trump put huawei on that us Trade Blacklist and blocked it from using Google Services, huawei said it would move to its own harmony0s which, it told reporters, would be completely different from android. Now, the version of harmony0s running on this tablet looks a lot like android. The interactions are the same. The tablet also runs Android Apps, so i can stick the Bbc News Android App on here and it runs fine. The same goes for google maps. And if you run a diagnostic test app, it will report that this tablet is running android 10. Now, the core of android is open source and theres nothing wrong with taking that and branching off to make your own software that is what amazon has done with its Fire 0s and it clearly states that is a fork of android. Now, it looks like this is what huaweis done here on the tablet, branching off and adding some of its own code, although it really didnt want to say it it gave me some very vague answers although it did say Android Apps are currently compatible with devices Running Harmony0s 2. This huawei watch 3 is Running Harmony0s, so it should work seamlessly with the tablet although when i tried to use the watch as a Camera Viewfinder for the tablet, i couldnt get it to work. What is this experience like for a Uk Consumer . Obviously, there are no Google Services but huawei has been working to develop its own replacement such as petal maps, which comes pre installed. Its powered by tomtom and has most of the features youd expect. Theres a Movie Store with popular films, and huawei music a Streaming App that had every Hit Artist i searched forfrom major labels, although there were a few anomalies. This definitely isnt steps. I tried to reverse Image Search to find out where this had come from. Im guessing its a Tribute Act but i couldnt find anything. So if this is you, please tweet me. Id love to know more i also found some of the artist bios show up in foreign languages. And other huawei apps arent really optimised for the tablet display. The Voice Assistant Celia is a little bit rough around the edge, too. I tried asking my watch what time is it . And it did not know. Perhaps the biggest hurdle for a Uk Audience is the loss of the Google Play Store and with it a lot of popular apps. Petal search lets you fin and install a lot of Android Apps from Third Party sources, but what happens when android and harmony0s start to diverge . Will app developers in the uk and us really make a Harmony0s Version of their software, on top of the Android And I0s versions when many of them didnt even adapt their apps for Huawei App Gallery when the whole thing was running android . The concept of harmony0s, where all of your devices communicate seamlessly, is a good one if youre willing to go all in on huawei. And i can think of being popular in china, but it might still be a Hard Sell in the uk and us until some of these wrinkles are ironed out.

Has the bbc fully explained why it re employed Martin Bashir 20 years after his interview with Princess Diana . And what questions remain about how that interview was obtained, and the investigation that followed . Its been almost a month now since lord dysons devastating report into panoramas 1995 interview with Princess Diana, and how it came about, but many questions remain unanswered. One big question is how, given what the bbc knew about his behaviour at that time, Martin Bashir could be re employed at the corporation almost 20 years later, as religious affairs correspondent. In an attempt to answer that, on monday, a long serving bbc executive, ken macquarrie, produced a report, which found that the Recruitment Process was targeted to find the right person for the role and was conducted in good faith but that there were shortcomings in the process. Some, including john cox, were sceptical about how independent this internal inquiry had been. Good Sound Policy that the bbc investigates itself . smells of cover up. And Jenny Mullan was prompted into this reaction. I am wondering if Martin Bashir is in receipt of a bbc pension. If so, there must be grounds for taking this privilege from him, as he patently does not deserve it. This is how the bbc director general, tim davie, responded to the report. People acted in good faith. I think they were really out to find the right person. I think that when you look at it you say, if they had known what we know now, and this is what the report said, there is absolutely no way you would have hired martin
