A massive blow to E3, I have a feeling that we'll hear a couple of AAA publishers will do the same in the coming months leading up to E3.

RUMOR: Sony to announce they are skipping E3 later today

Yep MS had the highest E3 viewship numbers the last 3 years https://twinfinite.net/2019/06/micr...-conference-stream-for-a-third-straight-year/ and the most social media coverage. https://wccftech.com/e3-2019-xbox-win-cyberpunk-final-fantasy-vii/
i think more people would be watching e3 to me but that's just me
Sounds like console warriors
If you're into video games you would be tuning in for more than just exclusives
It's where new games get announced and that's why people tune in.
e3 is always exciting times. No matter what anyone says. E3 viewership has been incredibly high. Gaming forums always go down at least once during e3. Thousands of thread are created from it. Engagement is really high. People take days off, have watch parties, even create thread on what foods they will order. Nothing is like e3. Not even games com or tokyo game show, paris games show. E3 is the standard to follow.
Where they kept having cuts because they had to move people around, it was a bad viewership experience to me
DMC was on TGA and had massive leak.
Elden Ring leak throught bandai namco and it was a CGI trailer showing nothing.
Big hype, sure...
This is often overlooked, no idea why. MS E3 conferences have been very successful and their traditional format will continue, no matter what.
If it means we hear and see everything earlier in the year at Sony's event vs a little tease at Sony's event, then the full reveal at E3, I'm fine with everything being splurged at Sony's event and them skipping E3.
DMCV was 2018. Last year's Microsoft E3 was a busy. 2018 was great though so Microsoft's conference lives or dies on what third parties have to give to them.
I'm assuming hes getting mixed up with Sony's last E3, which... yeah, not really great pacing in that one even if I liked some of the reveals like RE2.
Anyways, a part of me is bummed out about this because I really liked the insanity of all the console manufactors showing off their wares within the span of a few days. There's a lot to talk about, especially when we got new consoles launching, and its sorta amazing how E3 has often been a pretty good predictor for infamous video game disasters (such as 599 US DOLLARS for the PS3, the Nintendo Land fireworks for the Wii U, the used games burn at the PS4 conference, etc)
That being said... the whole ESA dox fuck up last year does make me seriously question if E3 in its current form is worth it at the moment, and I wouldnt be surprised if console manufactuors start to prefer to have their own conferences so the oxygen in the room isn't divided between them.
Still, I got a lot of nostalgia for E3, for all its ups and downs. I guess this could be the begining of the end of an era here.
There's always a circus like atmosphere surrounding e3. Sony may not want to share the light. But e3 is like the tide that lifts all boats. So many eyes that normally don't pay attention to gaming follow e3.
I think the biggest issue with the State of Plays so far is that we have already known a lot of information about what the big games being shown are about. If/Once they move on to newer releases i.e. next gen games, i think they will be received better.
I'm starting to get worried that a large number of people on Era don't understand how time works.
Was it? They weren't at the conference center I thought; well it was dreadfully bad to me.
I just really don't want no audience or an audience composed of obvious fans or people paid to cheer. I really don't like the xbox events when they have a 'mtv' style crowd of fans that scream and cheer anything they announce. I need that genuine journalist reaction crowd that really hypes these things.
Point is they had E3 to themselves without their biggest competitor and didn't knock our socks off, most of the major games being given cgi or cutscene trailers didn't help.
Yeah, there was supposedly information that the reveal was to happen the week of TLOU2's original release date. I think that was only part of the reason for the delay though.
I honestly don't blame them. They want the focus to be on their products and nothing else. It's definitely a good business move for introducing a new product. They make their own rules and focus on what they want to focus on at a pace that suitable for them.
