It’s that time of year again, as E3 2016 will be next week, and a whole lotta exciting stuff will be shown off from Microsoft, Sony, Bethesda and everyone else.
In fact, four of the news items are about announcements of games that’ll be highlighted at E3:
- Xbox One is about to become even more Windows-like
- Red Dead Redemption 2 looks set to be revealed by Rockstar at E3 2016
- Dead Rising 4 leaks ahead of E3
- Nintendo is showing more than just Zelda at E3 after all, but still no NX
Next week will be reports live from E3 – stay tuned!
Episode 361: Dev StoriesEpisode 361: Dev Stories
This week is slow in terms of videogame industry news, but rich on developer stories told by Paul, so be prepared for a lot of advice for the kid who wants to make games instead of just play them.
The news includes:
- Report: Microsoft to buy Mojang
- Destiny day-one shipments top $500 million
- Dan Adelman: “Good games are worth paying for”
- Video game degrees in the US increase by 50% in five years
- European Women in Games Hall of Fame adds new members
All this and Listener Feedback, with the Question of the Week: “Have you ever created your own content with a game’s editor?”
Will Wright is Right: E3 is DeadWill Wright is Right: E3 is Dead
Imagine that, a well known game developer finally says what everyone has been thinking, “it’s the walking dead.” Will Wright, famous for TheSims, SimCity and upcoming Spore believes E3 is in a state now where we’ll never see the old E3 and we’ll never accept the slimmed down anorexic thing we’re getting now.
End result is simple: it’s time to move on and create a new event and begin our arms race anew. Or, bring a version of the Game Convention over here from Europe and allow a new convention group to see what they can do with it, booth babes and all.
It’s hard to argue with the sheer amount of money that was spent to “compete” at a PR level with each major publisher and console maker. However, allowing E3 to die and starting a brand new design means people will be able to think ahead of “what’s to come” before re-igniting the exact same brand under a new name. We need something as exciting and invogorating without the massive hommoraging of cash.

Merry Christmas to all of you and your families!
