What the hell am I doing
drinking in LA at 24?
E3 used to be a jolly. You arrived two days before things got interesting,
with a whole day off to bimble around Santa Monica, walking, shopping
or drinking off your hangover. Then you had four press conferences in a
day, then a few days wandering the halls of the LA Convention Center,
interspersed with nice dinners and late nights. Then three weeks to get
over the jetlag, dry out, eat things that aren’t beige, and write it all up.
We still have the last bit, at least. It’s just as well, given how much E3
has stretched out: by the time we arrived in Los Angeles this year, EA Play
was already in full swing, and we were lining up for the Xbox conference
18 hours later. It’s hectic stuff, and we appreciate, and make the most of,
the long lead time. We don’t have to write up our thoughts on a game
within minutes of seeing it; we can take our time, let things percolate,
assess games not just on their individual merits but in a wider context, too.
And we can do more. In the pages that follow you’ll find run-downs on
100 titles from the greatest show on gaming Earth. It’s felt a bit much at
times, if we’re honest. But if you’re going to fly halfway round the world to
spend a week playing videogames, you might as well make the most of it.
E3 is always fascinating, and this year’s was no exception – though it
perhaps lacked a little of the pizzazz of recent years. There were no big
shocks, no new consoles to focus on. There was a lot of sequels, and the
show-floor buzz was largely centred on games we already knew about.
Well, with one exception. We’d heard whispers of Activision working
with FromSoftware, but didn’t dare lend them much credence. The
Call Of
Duty
company writing cheques for the makers of
Dark Souls?
Surely not.
Yet
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
is very much real, and very much brilliant.
It’s also, despite what the publisher’s involvement might imply, very much a
FromSoft game. You think Miyazaki’s going to make an easier game? Not
a bit of it. In fact, from what we’ve seen, he appears to be going in
completely the other direction. Our story begins on p82.
