Geoff Keighley is skipping E3
- Thread starter Tregard
- Start date
The thing is these companies don't really need the ESA. They could go off and make their own event but also it was nice to have everyone in one building once a year.
Never happening again. We are going in the direction of directs for everyone now.
it is a public event with focus on "influencers" etc as opposed to journalists.
Honestly if you ask me, it is a move to underline how this industry and its audience have moved on from the traditional press and toward the personalities and they dont like that obviously.
Nah.
Geoff Keighley Presents...
In conjunction with The Videogame Awards
Comes... The Videogame Conference.
2021.
I'll take my paycheck.
Yeah, that really puts things into perspective. E3 is in real bad shape right now.
You must have been living under a rock to miss all of the reasons why people are dissatisfied with E3.
Also of course people have a huge love for E3. Most people grew deeper into this hobby because of E3.
Was always a great way to recap, instead of watching the shows at stupid 0'clock and also get some additional info, would usually put it on whilst doing something else. Big loss for E3.
He's not going to be at E3.....because he'll be across the street doing the PS5 unveil! Mwahaha!
For the first time in 25 years. Holy crap.
I feel strongly that if Sony is doing a live event for the PS5 reveal that they'll have Geoff host it.
Never really cared for them, but Geoff himself saying he's pretty much skipping E3 is kinda huge. A personality that large is effectively a staple of the event. He sees the signs, maybe we should listen.
Prob nothing at this point. We will get Directs from everyone or just Twitter announcements here and there. Also big solo events for console reveals.
I've always disliked E3 culture here. And E3 itself has been disappointing for years. So sick of games getting teased that aren't even ready in 5 years.
I don't think it's that, as all the major games publishers (apart from maybe Nintendo) use influencers to promote their products, and Keighley himself is no stranger to inviting them to his productions. It's only really the old fashioned types like us who have a visceral hatred towards them, and we're an ever-shrinking market.
Literally had no idea Keighley was involved w/ E3 in any fashion but I guess DOOM N GLOOM is the name of the day
