MCV - The danger of taking E3 out of context.
Look, it’s time for a reality check. Ten years ago consoles were about gaming. Just gaming. Then the Xbox 360 and PS3 went online, got online networks and it all changed. Then Nintendo had the gall to find a whole new mass audience and the games industry was altered forever.

But like it or lump it, that’s how it is. So if you’re still sitting down at an E3 presentation and expecting a feast of core-gaming worship, you’re setting yourself up for a fall.

Folk can turn up their nose at the merest mention of media content, mainstream franchises and celebrities all they like – but this IS the modern video games business. Or more accurately, it’s PART of the modern video games business.

Fortunately for us, for every soul-destroying Usher performance there’s an amazing Watch Dogs video. Gaming caters for everybody, including core gamers.
