A new GamesIndustry.biz study shows that, perhaps unsurprisingly, the most prominent event in the gaming calendar is dominated by violence.
Of the 239 games we have counted as being featured at E3, only 42 can be considered non-violent -- 21% of all titles on show this week.
Of the 42, only 17 (7% of the 239 total, 40% of all non-violent games) are from major publishers or platform holders. This includes eight ID@Xbox titles and one Square Enix Collective title -- games developed by indies but published by larger companies."Much of the industry's output relies on selling the same fundamental mechanic: the ability to fight and kill"
But what counts as violent? For the purposes of this study, we're focusing on violence as an action by and around the player. This means our requirements for a non-violent game are:
- No title where you are required or encouraged to harm or kill another living entity.
- No title with graphic or realistic depictions of violence.
- We have also discounted cartoon violence, e.g. Luigi slamming ghosts into walls also discounted or disassembling enemies Lego Star Wars. The purpose is to identify games where the central mechanic is not death.
- Reference to unseen violent acts, e.g. a game where you are solving a previous murder, does not count as violent.
- Minimalist depictions or representations of conflict, e.g. a Hearthstone-style card game, do not count as violent.
- Sports games with tackles do not count as violent, as this is not intrinsic to the game or required to win. However, sports that centre around a combative act, e.g. boxing or wrestling, are considered violent.
- Games in which you give direct orders that lead to violence, e.g. strategy titles or turn-based RPGs, are considered violent.

Last week, we shared the the first ever UK digital charts, compiled by GSD, which featured Total War: Three Kingdoms at No.1. Team Sonic Racing topped the GfK retail chart, but when comparing the two reports, it was clear that Total War: Three Kingdoms was the overall best-seller.
We have sort of a reverse situation here where the digital charts actually cement the victory seen in the retail charts. Blood & Truth was the first VR game to reach No.1 in the GfK rankings, but only reached No.3 in GSD's digital chart. However, combining the sales from both confirms the PlayStation VR shooter was the best-selling game in the UK that week.
In fact, Blood & Truth's combined sales beat those of Grand Theft Auto V by around 3,000 units.
Elsewhere, we once again see discounting playing a role in shaping the charts as Ubisoft's Watch Dogs 2 rockets up 171 places to No.5 and EA Sports UFC up 157 to No.8. A reduction on indie WWII shooter Battalion 1944 also puts it in the Top 10.
The GSD chart is created from data supplied directly from publishers and developers, whereas the GfK chart (which covers the physical market) is created from data supplied directly from retailers. GfK's chart typically arrives on Monday, whereas the GSD data takes longer to compile. It's also worth noting Nintendo's digital data isn't currently taken into account.

Think of the most personally exciting things you've seen from this year's E3 so far. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that "on-demand game streaming" is not among them.
Despite that, when the E3 show recaps are written this Friday, the push for streaming services will doubtless be among the top stories, right up there with Keanu Reeves and that sequel/remake of that classic game you loved. And when we look back on E3 2019 in years to come, Stadia, Project xCloud, and Orion may be the most industry-shaping things shown here.
It's certainly understandable. The biggest industry shifts aren't always the sexiest ones. I recall no chants of "digital distribution" during the Microsoft press briefing of E3 2005."In many ways E3 is about building hype, but streaming is a difficult thing to build hype for"
Of course, streaming is in a different position than digital distribution was back then. It has the potential to be just as disruptive, but it also has deep-pocketed backers, powerful companies putting plenty of money behind their own attempts to disrupt the status quo to their own advantage.
When it came to digital distribution, the big players were comparatively timid. They were publicly ambivalent about how customers would get their games, perhaps in deference to the concerns of retail partners. They tinkered with it as a side business, rolling out Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and WiiWare not as alternative ways to buy retail games but as entirely separate catalogs of smaller original experiences.
On the other hand, it looks like the streaming companies are going to push more aggressively to have streaming as a direct competitor/alternative to non-streaming purchases for customers. When Stadia launches, it will feature new games like Doom Eternal, Ghost Recon: Break Point, and Borderlands 3. Microsoft hasn't said much about the particulars of Project xCloud, but it's widely expected to integrate with the Xbox Game Pass in some way, which already gives subscribers Microsoft's biggest AAA blockbusters and a selection of indie titles on day one.

The competitive landscape that underlies the entire gaming industry is shifting at a pretty dramatic pace. Remember how once upon a time, Mario and Sonic appearing side by side -- Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, specifically, a 2007 Wii title tying in with the following year's Beijing Olympics -- seemed like the exclamation point at the end of an era, a resoundingly final confirmation of the new industry status of two formerly implacable rivals?
Lately, those moments feel like they've been coming thick and fast. Sony is working with Microsoft on cloud gaming services. Cross-play between platforms is edging towards becoming standard. Microsoft bought Minecraft, and promptly doubled down on its support for other manufacturers' platforms. And there are fairly substantial rumours flying that the Xbox game streaming service will be available on Nintendo's Switch, perhaps even on Sony's hardware."There's an understanding that the real competition for gaming isn't from other platform holders"
This week brought another striking image which confirms that the platform wars as we've known them for over a decade are all but over. At the keynote presentation at Apple's WWDC developer event, the firm announced new controller support for its Apple TV and iOS devices, promptly illustrated with images of the Xbox One and PS4 controllers. Soon you'll be able to pair Sony and Microsoft's ubiquitous gamepads to an Apple TV, an iPad or an iPhone and play games directly on the device -- a move that, one imagines, must have come with the blessing of the respective platform holders.
The substantive impact of this change will be significant for many users, of course -- especially in terms of the large back catalogue of older console titles which have been ported to iOS and will be vastly more functional with the help of a decent controller. It might also be a decent shot in the arm for gaming on Apple TV more broadly, which had some promise at the outset. The devices are very popular and surprisingly capable as a gaming platform, but they have been seriously hampered by a number of issues, including somewhat unenthusiastic backing from Apple itself and the lack of a decent standard controller.
When games first appeared on the system, Apple spent a while insisting that every title had to be controllable with the Apple TV's remote. This rule was dropped relatively quickly but did a fair bit of damage to the gaming potential of the diminutive box nonetheless. The capacity to link up an Xbox or PS4 controller to the Apple TV doesn't fix all the problems, but it should at least draw some much-needed attention to a gaming ecosystem that's got a surprising array of decent quality titles.

Sony has set a release date for its long gestating film adaptation of Naughty Dog's Uncharted video games.
The Uncharted film will be released on December 18, 2020, according to The Hollywood Reporter -- the exact same day as Steven Spielberg's remake of West Side Story.
Uncharted's hero, Nathan Drake, will be played by Tom Holland, a British actor best known for playing Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. At 23 years-old, Holland is younger than the character of Nathan Drake in even the first Uncharted game, suggesting that the film could be an origin story.

Sony's recently launched Days of Play price promotion further demonstrates the impact of discounts on the retail charts as FIFA 19 reclaims the top spot.
It's the first week EA's bestselling sports title has been UK No.1 since the first week of 2019, and comes off the back of an 18% week-on-week boost in sales.
FIFA 19 was also one of the titles included in some of the PlayStation 4 hardware bundles Sony has been pushing this week, so its return to No.1 may well coincide with a boost in PS4 sales.
The Days of Play campaign runs from June 7 to June 17, conveniently overlapping with E3 -- perhaps to keep the platform holder's wares prominent given the platform holder is absent from this year's event.
As a result, several PlayStation exclusive titles have secured a spot in the Top Ten -- four, in fact. Last week's No.1 Blood & Truth dropped to No.5, while Days Gone rose two places to No.2 with a 39% boost in sales.

Big budget PS4 VR exclusive Blood & Truth is the best-selling game of the week at UK physical retail.
Excluding digital sales (more on that later in the week), the PSVR title beat FIFA 19 to No.1 by just 400 copies. FIFA enjoyed a boost in sales this week, boosted -- no doubt -- by the all-English Champions League final.
Blood & Truth is the first VR game to achieve such a feat, and it could well be the second VR hit from Sony's London Studio. The first game, PlayStation VR Worlds, has been packed in with the PSVR headset, and is by far the best-selling VR game in the UK.
Last week's No.1, Team Sonic Racing, dropped 46% in sales to No.3. It's a strong result for Sega's game, which continues to outpace its critically loved original.
But it was an incredibly tight chart this week. In fact, just over 6,000 copies separated No.40 and No.1 in the charts this week.

A new online test has been launched to help better identify the effect of gaming disorder.
The condition was recently classified by the World Health Organisation, and now a team of academics from the UK, China and Australia have compiled a test that will generate data for a more extensive study into the disorder.
Spotted by Eurogamer, the test -- entitled 'Do I play too much videogames?' -- takes about 20 minutes to complete and asks various questions about the user's gaming habits. They are given a score out of 20 upon completion, with five or more indicating higher tendencies towards gaming disorder.
The test also offers suggestions as to what is motivating the disorder in that particular user, such as competitiveness, and also scores these out of 20.
Users must be at least 12 years old to take part, and must have permission from a legal guardian if they are under 16. The test is voluntary but the data it generates will contribute to the team's scientific study, which will be published at a later date.
Lead researcher Dr Bruno Schivinski said the purpose of the test and its associated study is "to understand the point at which gaming becomes a health problem", as well as the factors that contribute to it.
Gaming disorder, as defined by the WHO, refers to "a pattern of behaviour characterised by impaired control over playing games, to the extent that playing them takes precedence over other interests and daily activities."

Ubisoft has no desire to make "a sequel" to Rainbow Six Siege to accommodate the next generation of consoles, according to the game's brand director, Alexandre Remy.
Speaking to The Daily Star, Remy addressed the concern that new hardware from Sony and Microsoft will "segregate" the communities that have formed around service-based games.
"We don't want a sequel whatsoever," he said of Rainbow Six Siege, which has steadily grown since its December 2015 launch, and now has more than 45 million registered players.
"The reason behind this is we don't want to segregate our community between the different platforms. In an ideal world tomorrow, we'd love players from every platform to be able to play together. We are approaching next-gen with the same spirit."
Ubisoft doesn't want players that upgrade to new console hardware to have to buy another copy of the game. The cost of doing so could be brought down through, "backwards compatibility," Remy said.
"I'm not sure exactly how you'd be able to deploy this, and we're just having a conversation the first parties (Sony and Microsoft)," he added.

Total War: Three Kingdoms was comfortably the best-selling download game in the UK for the week ending May 26th.
The first ever weekly UK digital charts have started to arrive, and it reveals that Total War would actually have been the real No.1 for that week. Previously, based on physical data, we reported that Team Sonic Racing was that week's No.1 game. However, by comparing the two reports, GamesIndustry.biz can reveal that Total War was actually the better seller.
The digital chart looks quite different to its physical counterpart. Titles such as GTA V (No.2) and Minecraft (No.4) perform even better in these charts, and regularly appear in the Top Five (they were No.1 and No.2 the week prior to this one). Meanwhile, discounting can have a significant impact upon the Top Ten. For instance, Cities: Skylines finds itself rising to No.6 from No.94 thanks to some price activity.
Elsewhere, titles like Monopoly Plus and Uno from Ubisoft are in the Top Ten.
In terms of new digital releases, Team Sonic Racing made No.13 (although it's worth noting that Nintendo digital data currently doesn't feature in the GSD charts), just ahead of Everybody's Golf VR at No.14.
The GSD chart is created from data supplied directly from publishers and developers, whereas the GfK chart (which covers the physical market) is created from data supplied directly from retailers. GfK's chart typically arrives on Monday, whereas the GSD data takes longer to compile.

The Trump administration's escalating trade dispute with China could have a significant impact on gaming in the near future. As reported by Game Daily, the Office of the United States Trade Representative has proposed a tariff of up to 25% on a wide array of products imported from China.
The US has been raising tariffs on Chinese goods in waves since the middle of last year. The newly proposed product list is the largest yet, representing an approximate annual trade value of $300 billion. (Tariffs on a $200 billion group of goods were raised earlier this month.) The USTR says it covers "essentially all" products not already covered by previous tariffs, apart from a select few categories like pharmaceuticals, medical goods, and rare earth minerals.
The extensive list of affected product categories includes video game consoles, game controllers, and coin-op arcade games.
The USTR has invited comments from the public in regards to the proposed tariffs and set a deadline of June 17 for those to be considered before action is taken.

The 194 members of the World Health Organization have recognised 'gaming disorder' as an illness at the 72nd World Health Assembly today.
The WHO finalised the eleventh revision of its International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11) in June last year, which included gaming disorder. The disorder is described as: 'a pattern of behaviour characterised by impaired control over gaming, increasing priority given to gaming over other activities to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other interests and daily activities, and continuation or escalation of gaming despite the occurrence of negative consequences'.
The WHO stated at that time that: "For gaming disorder to be diagnosed, the behaviour pattern must be of sufficient severity to result in significant impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational or other important areas of functioning and would normally have been evident for at least 12 months."
The illness was met with opposition by the global video games trade bodies, including the ESA, ISFE and UKIE, which highlighted contradictory research and statements on the subject. The argument from the trade bodies and its members was that more research needed to be done, and that gaming disorder was perhaps a symptom of a more serious underlying mental health issues.
The ESA went further, stating that the good video games do economically, creatively, politically, and in terms of education, health and a whole lot more, is put at risk by the the WHO's classification.
Despite the opposition, ICD-11 was agreed to be adopted at the World Health Assembly today. It will come into effect on January 1, 2022. The WHO says that the decision to include gaming disorder was based on reviews of available evidence and reflected the consensus of experts from different disciplines and regions.

Sumo Digital's Sonic the Hedgehog kart racing series had been in the garage for seven years before last week's launch of Team Sonic Racing, but the time off seems to have served the franchise well.
According to the UK Boxed Charts report for the week ending May 25th, Team Sonic Racing toped the All Formats Chart, more than doubling the launch week sales of its predecessor, 2012's Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. In fact, this is the first time a Sonic the Hedgehog game has topped the charts since Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games managed that feat in 2008. As for where the game did best, the PlayStation 4 version narrowly outsold the Switch version.
The only other new release in the top 40 was Everybody's Golf VR for PS4, which ranked 22 on the charts. However, Assassin's Creed III Remastered (already out on Xbox One and PS4) did see the debut of a Nintendo Switch version, which helped propel the game to the 15th spot on the charts.

Mortal Kombat 11 is the second best-selling game of 2019 in the US, according to data from NPD, after a strong April debut in which it was the top-selling game on every platform.
The latest in NetherRealm's long-running series topped NPD's software charts for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Switch. It is the first third-party published game to top the monthly chart on Nintendo Switch since the launch of Ubisoft's Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle in September 2017.
The PS4 exclusive Days Gone also had a strong debut month -- the seventh highest ever for a game published by Sony, but it wasn't enough to finish ahead of Mortal Kombat. It is also surpassed any previous Sony Bend game, despite only launching worldwide on April 26.
The third biggest game of April in the US was another strong performer: MLB The Show 19, which had the fastest start of any game in the series' history, and is already the best-selling sports title of the year.
As a result, dollar sales of video game software spiked 15% compared to April 2018, reaching $427 million overall.
The total spend on hardware showed the opposite trend, falling 29% year-on-year to $160 million. The only platform that grew over April 2018 was the Nintendo Switch, which was the best-selling platform overall in both unit and dollar sales.

Bethesda's Rage 2 has ended Days Gone's three week stint at the top of the UK Boxed Charts.
Despite charting a place higher than the first game (Rage launched the week after FIFA 12 back in October 2011), the sequel hasn't come close to matching the original. In fact, Rage 2 physical sales are just a quarter of what the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC game manage.
Of course, digital has grown significantly since 2011. GSD data suggests that digital downloading can account for up to 50% of console sales in the UK. If that's the case in this instance, that would still means Rage 2 has sold half of what its original managed during the same time period. Note: Bethesda is one of the few major games publishers that refuses to share digital sales figures.
The game sold best on PS4, accounting for 57% of sales, followed by Xbox One on 38%. PC accounted for 5%, although the majority of PC sales will have come via Steam.
It continues to be a weak physical games market, which does mean some more unusual games are managing to score decent chart positions. A Plague's Tale: Innocence from Asobo Studios and Focus Home Interactive manages to reach No.9.
The only other new game in the Top 40 is the remastered version of Sniper Elite Version 2, which makes No.13 - just 100 units from reaching the Top Ten. The game sold best on PS4 (49% of sales), followed by Xbox One (30%) and then Nintendo Switch (21%).

Games Workshop is a British war game firm based in Nottingham. It is has published several games such as The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game, Warhammer Age of Sigmar and tabletop wargames. Recently, Games Workshop opened several Facebook pages including Forge World. The company offers a fair promo code when you play any of its online games. This post high discusses Games Workshop in the 21st century.
Warhammer
Warhammer is an idea that was maintained in a decent building in Britain for a while. Most people didn't understand it well during its conception stage. Sex Education, the latest high school program features a character known as Warhammer Tom. Stewart Lee and his son are one of the character's ardent fans. The community perceives Warhammer Tom to be a bearded person who likes wearing baggy T-shirts in miniature-filled cellars.Last year, Games Workshop made remarkable growth and profit despite the pending Brexit. It designed and produced its products in Nottingham thus being a leading exporter of British fantasy and Sci-Fi such as Stars ship and Warcraft.
Games Workshop's Latest War Games
Over the past year, the wargaming company has produced 16 war video games. Its tabletop game is available in most stores. Each war game has its PC version. Games Workshop is gradually benefiting from the gaming industry and tabletop games such as Age of Sigmar, Gladius, and Champions to Vermintide. In the past, the company rarely applied its IPs in gaming.Tom Kirby was the CEO when Games Workshop underwent tough times. He maintained the firm's security and financial statements. The gaming firm replaced Warhammer with Age of Sigmar in a rocky transition. Its developers minimized its bloated areas to eliminate the point-by-model. It encouraged players to indulge more in storytelling.A lot of arcane has accumulated in Warhammer. Tom introduced new rules such as offering bonuses to bearded people or those with funny voices. Such regulations adversely affected the fan base hence prompting some people to sell their collection. Also, the video destroys your speakers when you increase its volume.Kevin Rountree replaced Tom Kirby as the CEO. He caused drastic changes in the firm including an increase in its profits. Kevin eliminated the Black Box sensation that was predominant since 1990.Games Workshop has produced several war games in the past including Total Warhammer. It preserves the digital form of the world. The firm created the Regimental Standard, a WordPress blog to market its brands. It is likely to engage its community in the near future.

Newzoo has released new research that shows women make up almost half of all gamers, as well as offering some insight into how they engage with the medium.
The study broke down gamers of all types into eight distinct personalities based on their preferences and how much time they dedicate to gaming. This was developed by researching consumer habits from 30 markets around the world.
46% of the people spread across the eight gamer types were found to be female, amounting to more than one billion.
The most common type of female game is what Newzoo refers to as the 'time filler' -- people who play games to pass the time, most likely on mobile. 36% of all women in the study came under this category, compared to 19% of men. In fact, women account for almost two thirds of all 'time fillers.'
17% of women were considered 'cloud gamers', making this the second biggest category for the gender. According to Newzoo, 'cloud gamers' prefer high-quality games -- especially if free-to-play or heavily discounted -- and only spend on hardware when necessary. This is the group most likely to benefit from the likes of Google Stadia and Microsoft's Project xCloud.

When it comes to high-selling video game systems, what pops up in most people's minds are likely the PlayStation 2, the Nintendo DS, and of course, the Nintendo Wii. Now that the most recent financial results have been reported, we can see that Sony's PlayStation 4 is closing in on 100 million units sold, with the PS4 selling a grand total of 96.8 million since the system's launch in 2013. 17.8 mil PlayStation 4s were shipped throughout all of 2018, showing a slight decline in sales compared to last year as it reaches the end of its lifespan, while hype begins to build for the upcoming "PlayStation 5". As of April 2019, the PlayStation 4 is the sixth highest selling video game console of all time, sitting just below the Nintendo Wii's 101.6 million, and above its predecessor, the PlayStation 3, which reached 87.4 million. Sony's company analysts project that around 16 million more PS4s will be sold within 2019, and if that expectation is managed, then that'll put the PlayStation 4 above both the PS1 and the Wii, in terms of sales.
Do you expect the PlayStation 4 to surpass the Nintendo Wii's total sales? With such a successful console on their hands, Sony has a lot to live up to, as they plan for the future and their next home console.
