E3 is still a major venue for the gaming public.
One’s irrelevant and the other doesn’t have a press conference. Just stations with games that you can find at mall’s.
It's kinda embarrassing that Sony apparently doesn't have enough material to show in a year they're launching a new system. This actually makes me think Sony expects a rather muted reaction, maybe due to high price or lack of great exclusives because PS4 is getting them already?
There's nothing 'shitpost' about my posting you quoted.
These companies never take anyYou're looking at the glass half empty. Instead of one bloated E3 event, now games and companies have their own mini E3s all around the year.
When has the average joe and what they want been a good thing the average joe is fine with every company making a BR games and buying MTX for $60 yearly releases of Cod and maddenI don't think it's about money.
It's a good thing for them, hopefully more developers/console manufacturers will do the same.
It's all a big circle jerk for so called gaming journalists.
You can have your own online event and choose the time when it suits you. Unlike E3, where there is fixed time and you have to compete with other console makers/developers for attention and news.
People think E3 is a big event but in reality it's really not. Sure people stream but hardcore people and people like gaffers. Regular Joe gamer doesn't give a shit and just reads the headlines. And guess what, regular Joe gamer is in the majority, hardcore people are in the minority.
Just my 2 cents.
No comany has bothered to do anything of the sort outside of nintendo most of these companies just sit on there hands for months on end and say and do nothing.You're looking at the glass half empty. Instead of one bloated E3 event, now games and companies have their own mini E3s all around the year.
It absolutly is just the same type of post you are complaining about. No facts in your post just back handed comments about how Sony is "Embarrasing" and negative assumptions about how Sony "expects a muted reaction" and maybe its due to "high price or lack of great exclusives"
It definalty is a shit post. You can pretend all you want but it is obvious to all that you are attacking Sony with nothing but assumptions or pretend facts. Just own it.
A posting doesn't need 'facts' to not to be a shit post. A shit post is a post that does nothing but contribute to console wars and shit. Me posting that it's embarrassing not to be at E3 during the year you launch a console is neither shitpost nor backhanded, it's criticism.
Meanwhile the shitpost I called out just spewed toxic fanboy shit (microsoft = irrelevant, Nintendo = nothing of significance).
Now you can show how to own it yourself. You were wrong.
This sucks E3 was great because I could schedule my time around it like Christmas. Now everyone and their grandma will have events in different months. It is to much to keep track of. I don't bother with the current non E3 events unless it is hardware reveal. If your not revealing hardware or not at E3 I'm not wasting my time I'll catch up here.
And all 4 of those state of plays were terrible in fact famitsu leaked everything a good 6 hours early for all of them. Only thing sony did was run a very uniformitave movie reel that game out 0 information about anything and was just please watch this trailer alright next one.They had a press conference at CES less than a week ago, but more importantly they've done 4 State of Play addresses in the last year, but you ignored me when I told you about those.
You're about to come up with some reason those addresses don't count for some reason even though though they're the same thing as Microsoft minus a man in a suit on a stage saying "please watch this next trailer".
You already replied to me. Take a nap.
Has any company in the last 6 years done anything of the scale of there own e3 noWhy are you assuming there will be less information? Hearing the same thing twice is not twice as much information.
You're right, it is expensive. Only MS could afford those fake clappers they hire for their event.
E3 doesnt make any sense in 2020.
Let that shit die already.
Nope. Nintendo and MS will be there.
Explains the attendance shortage.
I heard that the Dallas Cowboys fired Jason Garrett. Maybe Microsoft should hire him.You're right, it is expensive. Only MS could afford those fake clappers they hire for their event.
Made complete sense in 2018. Its completely non sense 24 months ago. Yeah, sure. Not really, sure.
nahA face only a mother could love.
Also do we know what "half empty?" meant.
The numbers seem to indicate otherwise https://www.statista.com/chart/18325/e3-attendance/
and then 2019 https://www.gamespot.com/articles/e3-2019-attendance-falls-compared-to-last-year/1100-6467795/
Thats only 3k less
Goodjob quoting me when I never said that E3 doesn't make sense.
You're right, it is expensive. Only MS could afford those fake clappers they hire for their event.
ya not sure. Just doesn't seem to be indicated by numbers at all looking at actual tracking. But ya I guess if space is massive it may SEEM like that.Was the floor space bigger?
If it was then it might give some credence to that.
How about no. Yours is just as much a shit post as his except he is more up front about it and you are hiding behind an opinion.Now you can show how to own it yourself. You were wrong.
Culled it...how? I swear sony fanboys are something else.E3 had a good run, last year was it's death knell with Sony's absence......This year without Sony is literally beating a dead horse.....E3 lost lots of it's soul since they culled it many years ago....
That's good news to me. Press conferences are so boring....
E3 2018 - 69,200 attendees
E3 2019 - 66,100 attendees
Attendance down by 3,100 attendees = half empty?
I found it overcrowded when it was at around 60,000, but I guess to some people bigger is always better... until they're stuck in line for 2 hours to play a 5 min demo.
Thats sort of what I assumed but doesn't seem correct after looking at various stories.I assume he meant half-empty from exhibitors (like Sony and EA? not being there), not attendance.
If you find them boring then you don't have to watch them...
Quite a few people obviously enjoy them.
yeah not for me, gameplay for tlou2 and tsushima was the highlight of the show for a shitload of people.The event was painfully long (despite it covered a very small selection of games), with so many cuts in between cause they changed the stage 3-4 times for these fillers, and to set the mood for their big first party games.
Now add that to the fact that Sony doesn't give a fuck about Europe (despite they have such a presence here) so their E3 press conference have always started at 3:30-4:00 am here, making it by default very hard to watch.
Either you stay up all night watching a man with his flute and so many fillers just for a 2 minute trailer, or you miss the event.
That year i tried watching it, but as soon as it started that way i ragequitted and watched the highlights the day after.
As of result the event was probably very expensive to make but not many people enjoyed it as much as other probably cheaper events (even previous E3s from Sony) but packed with game reveals, the reason why we all tune in.
Sony complaining about data breaches?It’s actually other way around due to the fuck up of e3 and data breach of all journalists
No press conferences equals more States of Play.
I rather have 10 minutes videos per month with information about Playstation, than wait 6 to 8 months for a press conference that might be good or not.
