E3 Aftermath (2018 Edition) - The GamesI...

The GI.Biz Team
About this episode

The entire GamesIndustry.biz team convene to reflect on this year's major games showcase in Los Angeles.

Instead of talking through every announcement (which listeners are no doubt familiar with), we each choose a topic or trend that emerged from the show and discuss how it impacts the industry in general.

Throughout the episode we discuss the growing presence of consumers at E3, the continuing saturation of shooters and violent action adventures as the tentpole titles of the show, and the (glacially) slow shift towards a more diverse range of protagonists.

We also touch on the impressive roster of Avalanche Studios, what the future holds for the four developers acquired by Microsoft and where the console market is heading as rumours persist of a PlayStation 5 and a new Xbox.

As always, you can find more insight, news and analysis at www.gamesindustry.biz.
