And that’s a wrap, everyone! E3 is done for another year, and now we know what to look forward to over the next 12 months, what we’ll be playing, and what we can look forward to seeing in a more complete state at the next E3.
I think it’s be a pretty decent show, on balance. While I’m much more partial to Japanese games, and those tend to be buried in the major stage shows, there was nonetheless enough interesting stuff on display that I know I’m not going to go for want of games to play any time soon. As usual, there was also a bunch of indie and Japanese stuff that flew under most people’s radars, but really caught my attention nonetheless.
