EDITOR’S LETTER
I
t’s been and gone for another year, but attendees of the
Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3, would’ve undoubtedly left
this year elated at what was presented to them over two and a
half days. In recent years we have generally left the show mildly deflated,
feeling that pre-show publisher promises have rarely been fulfilled. But not
E3 2015. No, this show kept the tempo at a beat that was practically
impossible to keep up with. From the monumental announcements at the
press conferences that brought fully grown human beings to their knees in
joy, to the exciting advancements in Virtual Reality technology, the video
game show of shows did not disappoint. With the world looking on, the
visionary industry creating the games for the new-gen consoles finally
delivered a preview of the exciting future awaiting hardcore and casual
gamers alike. Fortunately,
STACK
had someone on the ground in Los
Angeles to cover the show, so grab a cup of tea, put your feet up,
read on, and prepare to be excited about the future. It’s here!
However, we haven’t forgotten about our film and music readers
this month and as well as features on the likes of
Kingsman: The Secret
Service
and
SpongeBob SquarePants
, we also have interviews with
homegrown heroes such as
Gin Wigmore
,
Avalanche City
and
Weta supremo
Sir Richard Taylor
.
