In years gone by, looking to June’s E3 conference as early as March would’ve been tantamount to madness, but times have changed. Both movies and games get teasers for teasers years before release, and as all sorts of comments from top-level execs are starting to roll out in regards to what the games industry in particular is planning for the biggest show of them all, it’s about time we took stock of the best.
On just March 3rd, Nintendo delivered another fairly solid ‘Direct’ livestream, one in which they balanced the awesomeness of bringing SNES games to the Virtual Console, by having a member of Metroid Prime: Federation Force’s dev team try in vein to justify its existence. In the end, it reminded gamers of one thing; we ruddy love looking forward to future projects and teased releases, for better or worse.
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.
A famous actor from Starship Troopers has showered praise on Helldivers 2 and said he is open to the idea of playing General Brasch.
Nice list of rumors.
We'll see. E3 is always a fun event to witness! I wonder if we don't hear something about Forza Horizon 3 as well....

Legend of Zelda NX sounds good to me
I hope all of that is true along with some surprises
