influencers...so they are going to have a IG thots section?

 

[Meted]

E3 letting everyone know early not to care about E3

 

[#Phonepunk#]

why not call it the LA Consume-athon?

 

[MeatSafeMurderer]

Not really surprising. E3 has been crashing and burning for a long time now. This year's was shit.

 

[Barakov]

That sounds completely awful. Then again Gamescom seemed pretty good this year. It could go either way.

 

[GAMETA]

Why don't they adopt the Comic Com format? I'd like to see developers panels with live gameplay like Nintendo Treehouse's been doing, but maybe with the participation of the public... just keep the reactions attwhores out, this cancer has to stop.

 

[Larxia]

I... don't understand, it's beyond me, how "influencer" just became a regular expression like this, without people noticing how wrong this is, I mean everything is in the word, what's wrong with people.

 

[abstract alien]

In hindsight, Nintendo's decision to go the route they chose with Directs is even more intelligent now.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

RIP E3.

 

[-MD-]

I'd never been less interested in E3 than I was last year, it was almost a total waste of time.

No big loss here.

 

[Punished Miku]

I just tune in for Treehouse Live and the Direct. Microsoft usual does something slightly okay, and Sony is doing who knows what the fuck.

 

[Weilthain]

“Influencer” is a good word they came up to describe these people.

Got to admit you get an image in your head right away what kind of person is being called an influencer.

 

[nowhat]

Meh, as long as we get a new Devolver Digital "press conference" I'm good.

 

[bosnianpie]

Why are so many fans eager to see E3 disappear? It's like those people who haven't seen a Simpsons episode for half a decade and yet can't wait to comment how the show is shit nowdays and shouldn't be made anymore. I'm all for keeping the party going, State of Plays and Nintendo Directs don't give the same excitement.

 

[rofif]

E3 stopped mattering years ago and it was a joke last year without sony anyway. Its a shame but its dead

 

[Jubenhimer]

I will say that while E3 is far from dying, it's clear that its current format is outdated. It makes sense they'd want to overhaul the event for the modern era.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Just rename it to disappointment

 

[nkarafo]

Last interesting E3 was what, 15 years ago?

 

[abstract alien]

Last interesting E3 was what, 15 years ago?

Sony blew E3 up just a few years ago. Let's not pretend that didn't happen.

 

[Potato Chip PRO]

If they start bringing and giving more YTbers, Twitch streamers/ Mixers attention and spotlight... They can eat ass. E3 dead folks

 

[Orpheum]

I started to lose interest last year so whatever. This year was complete shit anyway

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Fuck that. Not going to bother going for work now. Been a nightmare since they opened it up to the public, and now it's just going to be too much of a shitshow to care.

 

[Enjay]

Time for a memories of e3 thread.

 

[Bwesh]

Yeah, let's get more influencers there.

So booth babes are making a comeback...? Just less attractive and we all get to read their twitter post how they felt objectify.

 

[Kenpachii]

Understandable, these ancient type of media is just not needed anymore in this day of age.

 

[Teslerum]

I... don't understand, it's beyond me, how "influencer" just became a regular expression like this, without people noticing how wrong this is, I mean everything is in the word, what's wrong with people.

As always, social media was a mistake. (Biggest amplifier of one's ego in a supposedly connected world)

 

[Knightime_X]

Kinda sucks that everyone blames E3 for sucking.
I mean E3 is just a hub for a gathering.
Not E3's fault Sony ducked out.

 

[Sixkiller]

"Influencers" - people who advertise shit, but aren't beholden to the same rules as actual adverts are.

A slippery slope that we're already halfway down, and this only accelerates the fall.

These twats mainly target impressionable kids too.

 

[Bullet Club]

They are going to have a cat throwing competition for the Twitchers.

 

[Lupin3]

Yeah, let's get more influencers there.

"I've got my boy Markus, executive producer here. He is the producer of the game. Thank you, Nick, for having me!"

 

[danielberg]

they should call them influenza or manipulator it all means basically the same but somehow its more accurate

 

[Can't decide]

That's how I read the thread title, "Media and Influenza festival". Sounds wonderful. Actually, sounds about right for 2019.

 

[CeeJay]

E3 for me has always been about big flashy conferences full of reveals and mic drop moments. E3 should not be centred around a load of self centred greedy cunts holding cans of Redbull (TM) and trying to get more followers to increase their revenue.

E3 is about the only gaming event that I have booked time off work to watch, the end of an era

 

[psygn0sis]

As always, social media was a mistake. (Biggest amplifier of one's ego in a supposedly connected world)

Social media is the best example possible of a good thing used in the worst way possible

 

[Arun1910]

Meh. Gonna be honest, Gamescom is the thing I look forward to the most the past few years.

E3 - Announcements
Gamescom - In depth videos on those announcements.

 

[Ban Puncher]

Sony blew E3 up just a few years ago. Let's not pretend that didn't happen.

Their last E3 conference in the tents and with the windpipe performance sure was a bomb.

 

[GymWolf]

Why? Is E3 offensive to some sub-gender or something?

 

[nush]

The tipping point was when there were more non gaming industry people attending than actual industry people. That was some time ago.

 

[Jack Videogames]

Welp, it was good while it lasted. Thanks for the memories E3. And the mammaries

 

[Virex]

They should rather rename it to the Fan and Gamer Festival.

Edit. Or they shouldn't. Because I just realised if you shorten it then it would be the FaG Festival

 

[Ma-Yuan]

Ohh man I used to be blown away from E³ news as a child (when it still was new, but I guess magazines back then also blew it out of proportion ) trough the early 2000s. But it is a shadow of itself in its current form. This year nothing really hyped me ; ;

I don't want to see it disappear, but I have to admit that after the press events I don't pay very much attention to it because I'm not in L.A.

They have it in the same location EVERY year, that has to be apart of the low attendance. Why not mix it up? Try bringing it East or in the South for a change?

 

[Godzilla Emu]

History repeats itself.

E3 drastically tried to change to a more focused, smaller format a little over a decade ago, circa ~2007. "E3 is dead" every gaming news site stated. It then rapidly evolved back to the standard fare afterwards. E3 will be back, mark my words. There is too much of a financial investment in the next generation of games and consoles for publishers and platform holders to ignore an opportunity to sell excitement and celebrate the industry as a whole.

Celebrating the industry and selling excitement is not what made E3 special.

Having the three console manufacturers put on giant live stage show events back to back to back was EPIC. Pre-E3, you flelt like you were getting ready to watch titans duke it out, and would see history play out live. It was the superbowl and world cup of corporate gaming. That is why people would book time off work. Watching Nintendo Directs, tree house streams, YouTube personalities, and whatever other ways they want to “sell excitment” or “celebrate the industry”...yawn.

Things change, everything passes away.

 

[Insane Metal]

So E3 is over, gotcha.

 

[J-Roderton]

So E3 is over, gotcha.

Seems kinda, sorta like it.

 

[Birdo]

2018 E3 - Bans Booth Babes

2020 E3 - Twitch Thot Tits & Ass Electric Boogaloo.

 

[Carna]

I want to go back
