That's a pretty sad list.
E3 continues to fall into irrelevancy.
The only difference is that Sony isn't there and there last show was trash anyway.
That's a pretty sad list.
E3 continues to fall into irrelevancy.
E3 2007 - 1C Company, Activision, Akella, Atari, Atlus, Bethesda Softworks, Disney Interactive Studios, Capcom, Codemasters, Crave Entertainment, Eidos, Electronic Arts, Konami, LucasArts, Majesco, Microsoft, Midway, Namco Bandai Games, NCsoft, Nintendo, Sega, Sony Computer Entertainment, Sony Online Entertainment, Square Enix, Take-Two Interactive, THQ, Ubisoft, Vivendi Games, and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.Compare it to the same list they had 3-4 years ago.
I'll wait.
Let's be honest that's some pathetic list. I mean why doing it so early when you have nothing.
That's a sad ass list. At least most of the studios I care about the most will still be there.
By Xbox show do you mean the press conference because this list is regarding the show floor. I believe Xbox just had a mixr booth and I believe Activision wasn't there last year.It's…pretty much all the major publishers save EA, Sony, and Activision. And EA and Activision will still probably have a presence at the Xbox show.
This forum seems to hate EA and Activision until they're not going to E3, and then suddenly they're must-haves who will be sorely missed. I'm not saying E3 is stronger than it's ever been — trade shows and expos in general have seen a decline since the rise of the internet, and will probably continue to do so — but it's not at all a "pathetic list" or "nothing." It's almost all the major players, still. It's fine.
This idea that nothing is ever "fine," that everything is either fantastic or pathetic, GOAT or garbage, is one of the things that makes having meaningful discourse about gaming challenging.
Maybe. They don't like doing full reveals super far out typically. They also have other things to show like Ghostwire Tokyo and Deathloop.
How dare you leave Ubisoft off that listHow so? Capcom, Square, Bethesda and Bandai all have good projects coming up
More eyes on less means more exposure for those that attend. its simple.I bet a lot of these publishers will be thinking hard about whether they are getting value for money this year.
I know.Same thing applies. The EA Play conference (if they even do one) doesn't fall under the umbrella of E3 so the ESA wouldn't count it.
We all know you'll be watching it like most of us even though Sony isn't there.That's a pretty sad list.

Nothing contradictory about it. I can have publishers I like attending, but still think releasing a list of just 10 publishers attending E3, which used to be the BIGGEST VIDEO GAME EVENT OF THE YEAR™, is pretty damn sad.

Fair enough. Still weird that EA and Sony won't be there.
Yeah most of those not attending from that list literally can't attend because they don't exist anymore.E3 2007 - 1C Company, Activision, Akella, Atari, Atlus, Bethesda Softworks, Disney Interactive Studios, Capcom, Codemasters, Crave Entertainment, Eidos, Electronic Arts, Konami, LucasArts, Majesco, Microsoft, Midway, Namco Bandai Games, NCsoft, Nintendo, Sega, Sony Computer Entertainment, Sony Online Entertainment, Square Enix, Take-Two Interactive, THQ, Ubisoft, Vivendi Games, and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
Not really missing a lot other than Sony.

Well, I agree, but it's now become implied they'll do Treehouse Live at E3. If they did it separately they could just... stop. Like how Spaceworld stopped. But this feels like a safety net lol.Nintendo doesn't need E3 to do Treehouse. I'm actually surprised they continue to attend E3, they're the company that needs it least.
I know, but I'm also genuinely curious if they're going to be at the actual E3 event like in the past.
That's a pretty sad list.

Bethesda and Microsoft are the only shows I care about watching these days anyways.
Should actually be a good year for those two.
They will have plenty 1st party stuff to show. The Initiative, 343i, Playground RPG, Everwild, Obsidian RPG, Forza, Hellblade 2.I'll probably skip watching everything and just rely on the usual Era list outside of SE and Direct. Xbox is probably gonna be 3rd party and gamepass ad show anyway.

Third party and gamepass sounds amazing to me.I'll probably skip watching everything and just rely on the usual Era list outside of SE and Direct. Xbox is probably gonna be 3rd party and gamepass ad show anyway.
Yes, they had the Lego game that they showed at the Xbox conference.WB being mentioned stands out for me among those, were they there last year as well?
