2K is in booth 2525 (Mobile and Social Game Pavillion). I believe Take-Two is always listed as Take-Two.

Nothing beats the '90s E3 shows for their level of wonderment for the fan of games and technology even if they might have been suboptimal for the actual business/media side of things, but looking at the smaller list of exhibitors this year, you start to wonder why they even bother with LACC anymore.
But only after you bomb a crack in the ground to reveal a cavern with a missile door, which can only be opened with missiles from another cavern across the map.

That's a lot of space for one Nintendo game... Are they also previewing Universal rides there or something?
Until Capcpom releases another Castlevania we will not stop tarnishing the spelling of their name.
Skyrim HD remix........PLEASE

Looking back even ten years, the exhibitor count was much greater than now. This is what the development looks like:
Sources are e3expo.com, Gamesindustry.biz and Engadget.
2007 and 2008 were E3 Media & Business Summit, so that's why the sudden change.

No. Can we not just have a new game that forgets Skyrim ever happened and is closer to Morrowind and Oblivion?
Their new motion device is a bowling ball attached to a swinging chain.

If Nintendo has gone all-in with Zelda with all that floor space, the game's gotta to be royal flush good. They couldn't be bluffing.

Coincidentally, the only two E3s I attended (back when I worked for IGN) were 2006 and 2007, so I got the extremes.
Though I might have been at 2005 as well...
I remember 2006 pretty well - Wii line was massive, had the giant Wii Music setup in the middle, and I couldn't be out on the show floor for more than 10-15 minutes without getting a headache. Booth Babes were in full force, with the smaller and more desperate the company the sleazier the outfit.
2007 was such a crazy flip with it being all over Santa Monica. Exhibition hall in the airport hanger actually wasn't bad - quiet, straightforward, lots of games.
Nintendo doesn't have that much space. The section on the right isn't demos it's a private Nintendo meeting area and to check in with your appointments and shit. And the section on the left usually has like 3 things to take a picture with and 50 game stations max. Nintendo makes the most out of their room because they don't do booths and everything is an open floor. Microsoft was extremely cramped because they shoved 4 booth areas (Halo Hololens x2 and rise of the tomb raider section and also a Forza car you could sit in and play the game in another car.) they probably had 50 game stations max too but definitely not as roomy as how Sony and Nintendo had it.

E3 space is bought many many months in advance... It's likely that things didn't go to plan which is why we're only getting Zelda.
Or Nintendo has just been playing us all and they really are going to show NX but are trying to keep it under wraps better. (If they say they are going to show NX people will be snooping hard, if Nintendo says they have nothing, maybe they'll have less nosey nancies)

The lines will be long.
Yeah, I think we'll see something like this. Maybe packaged with Oblivion too. It's a bit suspicious that those two huge games still aren't backward compatible with the Xbox One yet, even though Fallout 3 (same engine) is.
I really want Morrowind more though.

I'm seeing it now.
The NX is not just a console, it's a VR system that works like the fricken' Nerve Gear, only Nintendo hasn't figured out a way to hijack the signals from your brain to your body, so it can't keep you in one place. Therefore, all that Zelda floor space is for you to explore in this off-the-rails VR demo.
That, or Nintendo lied to us to lower our expectations for their E3, and they'll have a regular, okayish E3.

Is it possible to fill that much space with one game? I mean realistically.

It's called PC with mods.
Like, not even going all "Master Race" on this one. Seriously, 4k Skyrim textures are already a thing.
You see that demo booth way over there? You can walk to it.
A lot of people don't game on PC.

Yes, but your problem would be that Bethesda sells a lot of copies of their games on PC, and there's no reason for anyone on PC to buy an HD Skyrim.
So, probably best to just hope for a new Elder Scrolls.
It'll sell like hotcakes on consoles and I'm sure people on PC will buy it too. You're underestimating the cumulative popularity of Skyrim.

I still think that there is no way that this wasn't a last minute decision made after some development troubles with the NX.

But why would they need the theatre this year? Smash Invitational in 2014, yeah, the World Championships last year, sure, but now? Legit curious.
Hahahahaha
You have to navigate a maze of unsold WiiUs to get to the Zelda booth.
