E3 Floor Plan Revealed

Nirolak

The E3 floor plan has been revealed in case anyone wanted to see where everything will be. Unfortunately the little booth are unreadable in these images (the images needed to be about 2200+ pixels across for those to be readable o_O) so I've included links back to the original pdfs for anyone who wants to read those. The meeting room area was also totally unreadable so unfortunately the pdf is the only option for that.

Ugh. Flashbacks of E304.

Nintendo's booth was right across the way from Sony's and the people in charge of Nintendo's gathered all the fanboys together to yell things so the Sony booth would hear. One of the most embarrassing things about that trip.

Who has the biggest space?

Bigger space = better show!

Wii motes are going to fly into the Sony booth.

Wow. I haven't visited Gaming Side of GAF for awhile. Seeing this thread reminded me how I used to study the floor plans for E3 back in the Gamecube days.... Analyzing and dissecting and hoping that Nintendo would come out on top... in floor planning...

Got damn what a waste of my life.

They're apparently going to be announcing two Wii games at E3, so it makes sense for them to have a decent sized booth.

wtf does Sony Online need with such a huge space. It's almost as if they have their own console to push. Waste of space, just make a big Sony one. Meh.

Edit: And what does Gamespot have to do at E3?

SOE seem to have quite a stall considering they are supposed to be part of SCE.

I wonder what they might be showing apart from the usual and Free Realms and DC Online.

Supposed the beta for The Agency is supposed to start around E3 so that's probably going to have a really huge presence at their booth as well.

GameSpot runs a floor show every year with a ton of games being shown. It's actually quite well done.

Ergh, why couldnt they split Nintendo and Sony by a neutral third party, like say... ACTIVISION RIGHT FUCKING THERE. Terrible.

Why should they have to be split by a third party? They're console manufacturers and software developers, not warring tribes.

So, do we have an offical E3 press conferences thread or something? Need to know where I can see them live, for free or for the best price! :D

You must have missed the great Patapon vs. Pikmin war of E3 2008. There were corpses everywhere.

Hm I dont find Runic Games anywhere. I think I read they would be there.
They'd probably be in the Perfect World booth since Perfect World is publishing their new game.

The Agency should see a comeback at E3. A recent report said that a beta would start soon. And the same report said that a MAG beta would be happening soon also, and that was confirmed by Zipper to be true.

Probably Rock Band: The Beatles, Rock Band: Lego, and perhaps a few other Rock Band things like the PSP game.

That and they likely just want to flaunt how much money they have...

Maybe this year nintendo will run the line-ups for their games through the sony booth to make the sony booth look populated.

That's true. I can imagine SOE really touting Free Realms on the PC at this years E3.

The sign up rates have been good and it seems like the sort of thing SCE wouldn't be that interested in.

man, and no one got that on video? now that's some good footage to keep
 
EA, Sega and Microsoft all right next to each other so Peter Moore doesn't have to walk very far to see his old pals.

I wish I was Peter Moore...

They have the Agency to show off don't they?

Microsoft booth seems quite small unless its double leveled or something.
That show floor it sits in is much larger of the floor of Sony and the rest sits in. So you have to look according by its scale.

Yup, going to beta soon apparently. I imagine they'll be touting Free Realms getting 1 million + users as well.
 
Linkified said:
Oh k didn't see a scale on the floorplans though.

It's easy to make out. Look at how much bigger everything is in the top floorplan Hall compared to the much more spatious bottom hall. The bathrooms, the CAFE, the stairs, the rivate rooms etc...are all bigger in the top image. The bottom hall has a more perceived zoomed out scale.

booth babes are back! who cares about flood plans...
Flood plans might be important unless you want your booth babes getting wet...

...wait, what was I trying to say? I think I blacked out for a second.

Mangod's shrine so close to the entrance? Do they really want to risk people just getting their autograph/blessing and then leave not looking at the other stuff? ;-)
