Well bummer, only 1 location in Michigan? That'd be a hour and a half drive for me so I'll just stay home and watch it. lol

3am CEST again, really annoying when you can't take off the day after.

Europe is an important market for them, would be nice to schedule the conference time a few hours earlier...

Microsoft is at 12:30
Ubisoft is at 4:00
Sony is at like 8:00

Europe has its own expo, as does Japan and Asia.

During other companies' conferences? eeehh yeah they won't.

And you have like several European game shows.

Joke post? I mean really?

No? I live in the dayton Cincinnati area its legit a rough part of Cincinnati just like every city in a america has a rough part or a bad part of town. The real question is was yours a joke post i mean really?

 

[Qwark]

Noooo, they took Fargo, ND off the list from last year. In fact, there's nothing in ND listed.... Bummer, it was a lot of fun last year.

 

[The Ummah]

Whaddup Los Angeles GAF? Might try to make it for this one.

 

[Elitist1945]

How do we see locations? Or is that tomorrow.

 

[Pandora012]

Hmm can't decide on Empire or Union Square. Which is better New Yorkers?

 

[Skinny Pete]

Cool, playing at my local theater. I may just go to this.

A very limited Canadian selection. Too bad the closest one is 5 hours from me.

About the same for me, I can choose between driving 4 hours to Minneapolis, or 4 hours to Sioux Falls. I guess I'll just have a streaming party this year.

I'm surprised Edmonton doesn't get one.

 

[HStallion]

Wow there is one in Trenton, NJ. I may end up going as that is a short drive from me, I could get home from work, take care of everything I normally do and get ready to go out and still have time to get a drink beforehand. Anyone else here planning on hitting up the Hamilton 24?

 

[geomon]

MiamiGAF will represent again

 

[PhantomVash808]

I'm still deciding if I want to go or not. I went last year and loved the conference and quality on the screen was great. However I missed not being on both Twitter and GAF while watching the conference to see others reactions especially since the Hawaii audience was pretty quite in the theater. I'll likely still try grab a ticket for me and my bro though.

 

[Magwik]

Well bummer, only 1 location in Michigan? That'd be a hour and a half drive for me so I'll just stay home and watch it. lol

Me and my friend are debating on it. It's pretty much a "if we get tickets then we figure it out". Nobody really wants to drive from Metro Detroit to Lansing.

 

[RoboPlato]

There's one about an hour from me.

Decisions, decisions

 

[ZeroFate]

Me and a friend will be in LA that day, so I might be able to attend one of these! Only issue is I'm hearing the LA imax is kinda small and usually sells out pretty fast. :/

 

[TetraGenesis]

I can't imagine a theater event for this being good at all. Feels way better to just watch it at the comfort of your own home, or just with a few people.

Well a lot of us don't have to imagine it. We've actually gone multiple times. And love it.

 

[Voost Kain]

Seems pointless Imo. Also doesn't the theater get the same stream/live issues everyone else gets sometimes?

It's a whole different beast when you're in a theatre with 50 other fans.

 

[KinofChaos]

Why is it pointless? If it wasn't a success Sony would not be doing it for the third year, it creates buzz and word of mouth. Have you ever watched a movie at home then the theatre? They are not the same experience.

 

[bumpkin]

Holy crap, there's actually a theater in my area this year...

 

[Mozendo]

Hey I was wondering, did some theaters provide free snacks and drinks? My friend in Canada went to one which they did but mine didn't. ;___;

I got a free drink last year, no snacks tho.

 

[nemisis0]

Hope they bring this over to the UK, that would be so awesome but I am guessing they can't due to the timing in the UK of the show watching it live at home it is then.

 

[SecretAgentHam]

announced it 1 day before it happens? and i'll be busy at work? guess i'll have to disappear and find a computer and hope for the best. See yall at Century City, Los Angeles, CA next month! (i hope)

 

[Felldoh]

I can't wait to go for my third time, luckily I have work in the evening so I will be able to snag some tickets right when they drop

Hey I was wondering, did some theaters provide free snacks and drinks? My friend in Canada went to one which they did but mine didn't. ;___;

At the Toronto showing we all got a free regular size pop and popcorn

 

[Tsosie]

Perfect. I was hoping they would do it again. I guess Buffalo is drawing a big enough crowd for 3 years in a row. I will be there.

 

[Wakka212]

Nothing will top last year.

It was an incredible moment to experience with all the PS fans.

May go again this year but will be tougher this year schedule wise.

 

[Reaperssj]

MiamiGAF will represent again

Yup which one did you go to?

 

[Mozendo]

Aww luckies. I'll guess I'll ask my theater if they can do the same.

 

[Fushichou187]

Hey I was wondering, did some theaters provide free snacks and drinks?

I've heard varying things, but ultimately it seems like it's up to the venue's management. I wonder if Sony has a small line item per theater for a limited amount of comped concessions like drinks?

Speaking of drinks, SF's theater is a stone's throw from some decent watering holes, so I'll go on record as saying I'll buy a round for a few attending GAFers that want a post-conference pint. Good way to kick off the week.

 

[innervision961]

I really wish they would expand this to more theatres, this sounds like so much fun, but so far away.

 

[iBlue]

If they come to my city in mexico which i really doubt it i would definitely go just for the swag.

 

[Loudninja]

Heh the OP made the topic in 2015 as well
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1049508

Pretty cool.

 

[Trace]

Pretty sure we had a list last year, has anyone made a list of Gaffers going to the various theatres yet?

 

[Loudninja]

Also it seems this is getting larger, last year was over 75 theaters now its over 85.

 

[Simo]

Yeah that's a bit of a drive. lol

Not sure why they didn't have more considering the one in Ann Arbor, Rave Cinemark, is a nice big updated theater thats also 15 minutes away for me lol or even any of the Emagines or AMC theaters.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Somebody should do it after the tickets go up so we can than see who's were and who got tickets

 

[Morning Star]

I don't remember if I did last year, but did anyone actually print out their tickets to get admission?

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Yea my theater asked for it

 

[RyanPierre]

I wonder how functional the website will be when the tickets go live. That's always been rough, but I've managed to grab tickets each year so far.

It's fun to watch, of course. I love games, and it's how I make my living, but I don't think the emphasis placed on E3 is healthy.

Hopefully in time the rest of us will see the error of our ways and avoid unhealthy free social events focused on a hobby we enjoy, and instead, take up more healthy activities like making cynical and condescending posts in threads about events we have no interest in.

 

[Harusame]

Luckily I have no work tomorrow, that's pretty convenient. I will be attending the one in Metrotown in Burnaby. Hopefully the Sony Representative that I know that works in the Vancouver area can get some extra tickets for my friends as well

 

[Mozendo]

I didn't need one since my theater already had a list of the people, all I had to do was give them my ID.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Nothing in Newfoundland, so I guess i'm SOL.

 

[kyleokok]

NYC-GAF, how was the Times Square showing? Do they use the IMAX theater for it? I've been going to the Union Square one the past two years but would consider switching things up.

How was Union Square. THis is the first time I'm able to go.
