I don't know if Nintendo has enough room to show off Fire Emblem.
Their big title of 2018.
Shouldve gone bigger

E3 2018 floor plans now available (target maps)
- Thread starter Rösti
- Start date
It's not late. Last year they announced their plans around mid May.
True :)
I think that in addition to bringing Kingdom Hearts III and FF VII Remake, Square Enix will also present:
Final Fantasy XVI
Final Fantasy X-3
World or Final Fantasy 2
Octopath Traveler
The World ends with you Final remix
Project Avengers
Project Prelude Runes
Life is Strange 2
Dragon Quest XI
and Legacy of Kain Remake O_O
Holy shit at Sony's floor, Nintendo also has quite a huge chunk. It'll be fun to see what this E3 gives us!
Yep. Especially considering that officially they have no new games announced for 2018.
Joke post?
Stop doing this dude. :P
Yeah, BGS has to have something ready at this point. The other studios are all busy.

3 May is not late.
12 May in 2014, 15 May in 2015 and 16 May in 2016 is late.
So....there's a rough correlation with how late the announcement is? Those were all good shows
Aside from like 3 of those not happening
Left alive and tomb raider as well
2017 was below average.
2014 was good, 2015 was great and 2016 was top-notch.
I don't get how MS plans to show their stuff. They'll only get people there that are already interested in their stuff, a PS fan ain't gonna leave the E3 center and go to a specific MS building. And isn't E3 supposed to be a place where you get to show off your best things to people that normally ignore everything you do?
Number of attendees doesn't matter. The question is: how engaged are the folks that do enter MS' building? That's what MS is focused on.
(Sorry, lame joke, I know. Just having fun.)
E3 is and was never really about the fans attending. It's mainly a press and industry event with large online media impact.
Across the street they have their own huge venue. Cool way to expand E3 and relieve crowding.
How much floor space does the Microsoft Theatre have?
Seeing how its a whole Theatre , they could have the equivilent space of sony and Nintendo combined.

The theatre does not appear to be suitable for anything other than holding shows. The floor is on an angle. I'm guessing that Microsoft will place some game kiosks in the reception area?

Here is a pic of it I found from its wiki page of a view from the stage.
It looks like the blue carpeted seating area could ve converted to have demo areas.
Or maybe MS will have demos online.

Not sure about square feet of the whole theatre, but there's what it says on the official homepage:

Nintendo has around 32 000 sq ft of floor space at E3 2018.
Yeah but the press needs to exit the E3 center and go to a different building as well. MS can't expect that every publication has a big crew of people with diverse enough taste in games that they can cover two E3 areas the same way, they'll be lucky if 2 people from each publication goes to their event and I highly doubt that they'll both be someone interested in all types of games. Simply put, the coverage of the MS event won't be as good as the coverage of Sonys and Nintendos event.
That's a tiny place, it'll only get people annoyed if they show something awesome since people will understand that they stood in line waiting for the opening at the wrong place. And if it's "Meh" they won't even bother going there.
Nope, this was a bad decision. Their biggest E3 yet with the smallest coverage yet. Bad combo.
If the layout is similar to those pics for the conference, I prefer it to the ones they have had the previous years.
It looks more grand, and better for crowd cheers because its less open and divided then there previous ones.
