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 (that in 12 months have gone from being a simple
tech demo to a full product that enthralled visitors), 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, and
his extensive coverage begins on page 64. So grab a cup of tea, put your
feet up, read on, and prepare to be excited about the future. It’s here!
