hope they provide free drinks and popcorn. that's usually what happens when the theatres in my area do free screenings of stuff

I'm sure they will. It would really suck if they didn't.

To get the 2nd best thing to actually being at E3.
You are in a room with 50-250+ like-minded people who mostly all cared enough to go out of their way to be there as well.

Imagine being at something like that during the Twilight Princess E3 reveal or Kingdom Hearts 3 last year.

Basically this in one room-

[intheinbetween]

Why? I don't get the purpose of this.

for cinematic purposes, 24fps or burst

 

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

Normal movies can be aggravating enough to watch in theaters with everyone talking/shouting/making jokes/generally not being considerate of others. I can only imagine how terrible it would be with something like an E3 Press Conference.

I wouldn't be able to go as I'm not in America right now anyways, but I'd rather watch the show in the comfort and silence of my own home.

And yet people said that pres conference was disappointing.

 

[TAJ]

I'd rather watch it on PS4. Putting it on movie theaters but not on PS4 would be the utterly stupid.

I haven't been able to get my PS4 to even play a game trailer for months. Games are fine. Netflix and Vudu work perfectly in Super HD and HDX. It's just trying to stream from PSN that doesn't work.

 

[H4r4kiri]

Because it would be at 4AM in Germany or something silly like that.

yes 3 am but i dont give a damn

Yup,
Its awesome enough feeling that way watching solo with a perfect home setup but my God to experience a room full of that.

 

[Sinfamy]

Portland Lloyd Center sold out :c
No fair.

 

[Ace001]

I'd go for sure. If I wasn't half a world away

Take note of the people in this thread who like the idea and reports of cinemas booking out. Now try to get your head around that just because it doesn't interest you, doesn't mean everyone else feels that way.

Builds excitement and community for Sony

I'm all for excitement but it's not like 43 cinema's "selling" out of tickets means that everyone is behind it either.

Good for Sony for putting it on for those fans that want to go. I hope they're giving out freebies for those that make the effor.

I personally would prefer to sit at home in my cinema of 1 and do something else whilst watching the stream.

[tensuke]

Hmm closest for me is Jacksonville, Columbia, or Atlanta. 2, 3, or 4 hours away. I wouldn't mind going 2 hours for a free e3 showing and Sony swag, with a buddy. Sounds exciting!

 

[The Jason]

There are no theaters available in my state but i think its awesome that sony is providing a free screenings in theaters, I've always wanted to watch the E3 press conference in one.

Cheers to sony

Oh man this is just crazy and awesome. Only Kingdom Hearts can make grown men jump up and down like giddy children lol. Just wait until we see theatres full of it.

 

[HeelPower]

This is absolutely heartbreaking.

I am not in montreal anymore and I know exactly where this is gonna play and live very close to it.Had I known earlier I would have stayed and delayed my flight.

Guess I amnot meant to take part in this awesome event.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Oh man I wish there was something like this in the UK! Get on it for next year Sony!

 

[DrROBschiz]

Is it even possible for them to deliver on the Hype they are generating?

They must have some home runs planned for the evening guys!

 

[brickwalker0]

Tennessee was sold out when I checked...Sucks, I would have easily paid to get into this. Maybe they'll go bigger next year with more screens/cinemas.

I wonder how strict it is for the guest. Probably have to show ID?

I was able to get tickets for the TN Opry Mills Mall one and chose my GF as my guest but she doesn't want to go. Who'd a thunk?

Lol, me too, should probably email them

The duplicate name thing is a glitch and it happens to everyone that entered two people.

Didn't happen to me for some reason

 

[Radec]

Hype level increased

holy shit.

 

[Reule]

Sold out for my local one here in Orlando. Damn, wanted to go for the swag and to experience the hype in person.

 

[Wynnebeck]

holy shit.

lol The stability updates got me.

 

[Giggzy]

The duplicate name thing is a glitch and it happens to everyone that entered two people.

I think it's only happening to people that used the same email for both attendees. I put my email and my girlfriends and my ticket has each of our names.

Same, I put my email and my guests email and the ticket has both of our names

Lol the funniest part of the first video is the utter surprise and shock when they all say "gameplay?!?!" since everyone is used to seeing Square CG.

 

[Philippo]

Goddamit why Americans always get the best things

Being in a theatre would boast my reactions x1000.

 

[rjinaz]

Is this first come first serve or what ?

Yes, well there were tickets.. Most tickets went fast and then there was the waitlists which also filled up quickly. Some sold out within the hour others within a few hours.

Edit: Looks like tickets still available in places like Anchorage. Some waitlists as well.

 

[imrblankie]

Anyone have the link to the spreadsheet?

Dangit. I couldnt get tickets the the SF one.

 

[orochi91]

People have waited years for that game. Most were probably kids when they first played the other games in the series.

I'm calling it now. Sony will give out the VR headsets to watch the E3 at the theaters and let the people who attend keep them. What better way to show us what the thing can do? Plus it's safe to say that 95% of the people going are real Sony fans and will have nothing but good things to say about the device. They'll go and spread the word

 

[SDCowboy]

wtf? is that girl crying?

Sure looked like it.

 

[BronsonLee]

It depends; some advance screenings straight up just give you the movie and nothing more, but some special ones/most TV ones will give you popcorn and soda. If I had to guess, 30/70 in terms of yes/no

wtf? is that girl crying?

Imagine waiting for something for years with no idea of when you'll find out anything.

Then imagine that news getting sprung on you with literally zero notice.

Highly unlikely, the theaters they picked are the ones that NCM uses to do live events. Also I highly doubt the VR is ready atm.

Lol, someone will really be disappointed.
It'll probably be a Destiny beta code or something like that.

I don't have to imagine. I played and love the first two games when they came out when I was in middle/high school. Been eagerly waiting for the 3rd every since. The unveiling didn't have me weeping or rolling around on the floor screaming though. Some of these reactions seem a little overboard. lol

Take what I said above and then add being a teenage girl, then

I won't be disappointed, I'm not interested in the VR headset at all. I would actually prefer to watch the event with out it. And I doubt it would be a destiny beta code because I'm sure most of us already have one.

lol fair enough, I suppose.

 

[PhatSaqs]

No way in the world I'd do this lol. Good on Sony tho.

And to be honest, her reaction sticks out to me way more than the guys going full jackass on everything.

You should do it, get whatever free swag it is, then yell WORLD STAR and destroy it outside the theater

 

[Sidewinder]

They'll show TLG and Shenmue 3, film the reactions of the people in all these theaters and then make an ad out of it, believe!
