Issue 129

JULY 2015

WELCOME 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!
