I don't think E3 show floor buzz has ever come close to repeating what happened with the Wii again. Given all the flailing since that year, it'd take a lot to rebuild that, and while letting in the public seemed like a step to making that happen, it's seemed to backfire.
People have already responded by saying "personal information is unwillingly made public" basically, but to clarify, the info can include stuff like addresses (home or work), phone numbers, etc.
It really is, you will still have a presence at an industry shows, but for your big shit renting a venue and streaming it got to be cheaper and a bigger return than E3. Hell MS just had an Surface event and owned the whole news cycle for a good time afterwards.
No kidding. A lot of users here seem to be extremely biased. It really sounds like they havent watched an E3 conference in like 5 years. Yeah, they used to be cringe. We are well past those days for the most part.
Disagree. If I felt like you did, I would read the bullet points after the event.
You think MS won't jump cheap if the stars lineup? They already do events for windows, surface, and other things. Xbox finally doing a standalone would get them on their brothers and sisters level
I mean specifically for announcing the console and build up to release was all done via Nintendo Direct. Sony is just taking it a step further really.
Yep (3AMin France, I can't do it anymore, I am too old. Or do it a saturday).
Yeah, ESA can die. And what leaked from what they wanted E3 becoming, they can keep it.
Death Stranding wasn't at E3, but everyone talk about it because we had the release date trailer one week prior to it.
