But when your whole freaking conference is based on casual games and most of them are rubbish and the rest are IPs that they've been milking for so long (Mario) then this conference is a huge failure.
They are the ones making the actual cash so their formula works for the majority and not the minority core gamers
hardcore gaming still exist in new games, yes most games are casual these days because as ZeRaW mentioned they're the ones making the cash, and as for hardcore gaming, it basically exist in almost any game just in a more evolved way or in some games less hardcore then before but adjusting to our current times, since spending times on games these days isn't the same as it used to be where you could put a lot and not being too much. And as well, there's also the diversity in the games, compiling different sorts of mechanics into 1 game when the older ones were just way simpler and in which you had to make the game harder based on simplicity.
On another note, I'm still watching the reruns of the e3[first e3 i ever watched personally], only saw Microsoft and Ubisoft so far, i loved many things so far about them:
-AC3 [I'm a fan of the sequel so no surprise there]
-Splinter Cell - Blacklist [never played it but I would love to try this out after seeing the game play]
-Watch Dogs [The new IP, seems very promising, definitely gonna try this out]
-Call of duty - Black Ops2 [I haven't played any CoD in years, probably missing out on almost the entire series, but been thinking recently on playing them all over from start]
-Shootmania [The unveiling was sort of nice, putting up 2 pro teams to compete even if it was for a short time, I signed up for the beta on the games web, I'm only a casual FPS player but it seems like fun for small lan parties]
Will add more when i see the rest :D
