I like E3 as much as the next guy, but the idea of the big publishers just randomly announcing a direct at anytime throughout the year the way Nintendo does is also really exciting to think about.
Rather than 12 months worth of news being announced in a single weekend, we have the entire year to look forward to because an event could spring up at any time.

It's not like none of them are at the show, they just aren't having a press event this year.
The press conferences are always the biggest parts of the show, though.
It'd be great if they do a huge blowout at Star Wars Celebration, but Star Wars Celebration is going to have a lot of things, from Episode IX to Clone Wars season 6, maybe Disney+ stuff and other projects, so all I'm expecting from Jedi Fallen Order is a CG reveal trailer, hopefully with snippets of gameplay.
EZA would still give it a 7 and throw off their ranking curves for the whole weekend.
it's only for a year. Pretty confident Sony will be back next year.
If it wouldn't cost a shitload I'd suggest going to Vegas or something and make it a high time style thing.
But I'm a sucker for old Vegas anyway.
If E3 survives this. It's probably going to be ok, but it's not like E3 was doing super well the last couple of years. E3 was very close to death not too long ago.
I do believe Sony will be back next year, but I am not as confident in that as I was when it was just announced that Sony would skip E3.
I do think E3 is really screwed if Microsoft does decide (for some reason) to not do a pressconference at E3 any more. It seemed to me like they bigger companies were doing things just outside of E3 for a couple of years now. I am not convinced E3 will be around in 5 years time to be honest.
I don't think it will be dead next year, but I am not sure how sustainable that show is if more companies decide it's not worth their time and money to put a booth at E3. There are game announcements all year around. I love E3 and all the coverage it gets and I hope I am wrong, but I am not convinced a show like that hasn't been surpassed by the internet in a lot of ways.
It's certainly not good for the show if there are only 1 or 2 big press conferences any more, but I guess it can be ok if most companies keep putting up their games on the showfloor. I do think there is a good chance that E3 will be dead if most big companies (especially the console manufacturers) stop having booths at the showfloor. Let's hope it won't come to that.
Btw, I know this is probably way too negative, but it really looks bad to me for some reason.

Like an actual conference at e3?
I'll take that. Avatar bet for a month?
They won't have a conf at e3 2020.
I recall around the reveal of the studio Ian mentioning a few times that their AC is almost too powerful.
Nah, he's right. They will absolutely be back next year with the PS5 lineup.
This year is about marketing. Pulling away to make a big splash later.
Sure! I'll also take a stage show during E3 time not branded as E3 (ala EA) to count, as I'm not sure which one they'll do.
Avatar to be Sony related, but yup! See you next year!
I liked that too. Though Kyle is wrong about talent. Most devs aren't born with special talents, they just work ridiculously hard on increasing their skill.
Going is one thing, feeling so sparce despite taking up so much room is another. Like, Spider-Man was really the only exclusive thing I recall there that had it's own large space, everything else was a long row of PSVR games, pillars, and some huge stage that, when I finally went to it, was empty. Like, I just feel like why even go if you have so little to offer. It just seems like Sony just didn't have a lot going for last year at E3 which is probably a issue bigger than E3 itself. I really hope everyone else can just fill all that space up to the max because it just felt like Sony was hogging real estate.
Is there an archive of the final episodes of damiani's playthrough of persona 5 ? I know he posted them on another channel and later deleted them but wondered if someone saved them anywhere ?
Reaction shots was a really fun listen. I'll never tire talking/listening about Batman. Especially from Jones and Huber.
It sucks that EZA was founded during the declining years of E3. If EZA was founded in the early 00s, when E3 was at its prime, no doubt EZA would be flying high. Actually, E3 was the main reason why GT became so big and so popular.
Uh, I really thought it was my browser having trouble loading the full CSS or something.
Man, this is ugly as sh**
People are actually worried about E3? Wow.
Sony skipping is due to monetary reasons and nothing new to show. I'm fully expecting them at E3 2020 so until the opposite happens, no one should be concerned. As for EA, let's be honest, their conferences are usually mediocre and that's being generous.
We still have Microsoft, Ubisoft, Bethesda, Devolver Digital which is always worth watching, Nintendo Direct and Square Enix will probably have another Direct type video.
People are worrying for nothing. Two years in a row, then you can be concerned.

Microsoft, Ubi, and Sony were the only ones that ever held my interest. Used to watch every conference by itself first and then reactions to them all, but I started going for reactions only for all the others.
I've laughed about a thousand times listening to the EZA podcast throughout the years, but the "laying pipe" part and Jones' reaction might be near the top.
The writing has been on the walls for years now. EA isnt on site and the wrap there thing up just as E3 is getting started. Now they are not even bothering with a press conference. Xbox isnt on site either and instead Microsoft has the mixer booth. Sony isnt showing up at all which is crazy when you think about how little Nintendo and Microsoft have had some years but they still pulled something together.
I'm not saying E3 is going to be dead next year or even the year after that but it's clear that things are rapidly changing.
Microsoft is at their owned theater which makes sense from a monetary standpoint and also, they're having a conference because of E3. If it wasn't for E3, they wouldn't be having a conference. Sony not being there is a smart move though. While I preferred Sony's E3 2018 the most, majority didn't plus they held what was basically a Q&A at PSX 2017 and they didn't have PSX this past December and if they were to be at E3 2019 with nothing, that would basically be four shows in a row that either was underwhelming, not what the majority wanted or non-existent so it makes sense.
I also believe that 2020 will be where Sony blows everything out for PlayStation 5. No reason for them to do it now.
If it means that the comments aren't going to delete themselves any more then it's fine with me. It was previously unfit for purpose.
Also, public podcast is late, which makes me sad.
Jones said on Wednesday he was going to get a "clean" version up ASAP on Wednesday, but hasn't yet. Current version has a flash of black frame every minute or so.
It appears to be the same in operation, just an ugly coat of paint.
So an authoritarian regime like China passes laws to prevent criticism of their government, and Easy Allies' position is "can't feel bad for the people trying to criticise them and getting a backlash because that's the law over there." I kept thinking, "they are supporting an oppressive regime trying to silence dissent. This has to be a bit or a joke, right?"
He hasn't been on shows this week and he said on Twitter that life is crazy rn or something like that
Well, it appears to be written in React now, and I'm not sure if it was before. So fingers crossed.
