I think this is finally it: the last showcase of what a lot of us have dubbed Not-E3. Capcom’s a great one to end with, and the company has promised we’ll see more of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, Exoprimal, and Resident Evil 4. There may be a surprise or two,…

Read MoreIt’s time for one of the bigger (by that I just mean more popular, not necessarily “best”) showcases of the week! Expect some big blockbusters to show up here, including previously-announced games as well as brand new ones. Fingers crossed that ID@Xbox shows up so we aren’t drowning in space…
Read MoreAre you still with me? This is the fourth of the four showcases spanning five hours, and if you’ve been watching or even reading along I’m willing to bet your brain is also swimming with new information that will swim right back out again soon. Not-E3 can be really overwhelming,…
Read MoreI’m not entirely sure what to expect of the Future of Play Direct, and I like that. It’s being held by Glitch, a creator-led movement bringing bold new forms of play. It seems likely that we’ll see some really innovative things, and hopefully some games that are also just plain…
