The Annual E3 2014 Extravaganza!

It’s that time of year again – time for this year’s Electronic Gaming Expo – when game developers and members of the enthusiast press converge on the Los Angeles Convention Center to see and experience the latest and greatest that the video game industry has to offer. And every year around this time, we here at The Joy of Gaming have our own tradition, of getting together in a podcast studio to discuss all the biggest games and announcements coming out of the event. This year at E3 2014 there were some awesome surprises, lots of stunning next-gen game trailers, and as always, a few surprising omissions.

On this, our 3rd Annual E3 2014 Extravaganza episode, we (Rich, Tim and Jordan) discuss the big 3 press conferences –from Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo – and all of the new game announcements and updates from Ubisoft, EA, Square Enix, Activision and more. From Assassin’s Creed Unity’s new 4-player co-op, to the announcement of Inside, the new game from the creators of Limbo, and from HelloGames’ stunning, procedurally-generated space sim No Man’s Sky, to the reveal of the next The Legend of Zelda game for the Wii U - we talk about all of the exciting news out of this year’s event, and offer our thoughts and predictions for gaming’s next few years.

And what E3 episode could be complete without our awards for the best in show? We give our picks for the following:

Biggest Surprise
Biggest Disappointment
Games We’re Most Excited For
And of course, The Best in Show. 

Now that the excitement has died down a bit and E3 2014 is officially in the record books, we can start to look ahead to all of the amazing next-gen gaming experiences that await us over the next two years. As this year’s event proved once again, it’s a great time to be a gamer. This…is the Joy of Gaming!
