E3 often has issues when games are shown on the screen. Lack of sound, not loading up in time, being out of sync. All part and parcel of working at E3. However, during Sonys conference something else happened which may prove to be a bit of an issue. During two gameplay demos, one of Assassins Creed and one of Destiny their videos locked up. The cameras panned to a live crowd at the time, and you could people were moving, it was not the internet stream that was the issue. The footage stuttered or paused.
Skewed and Reviewed kick off 2024 with a look at the need for in-person game conventions with the End of E3 and compares the cost-cutting methods of Hollywood who still value in-person events.
so, this article didnt tell me why we NEED to have in-person shows like e3, other than the authors nostalgia and remembrance of covering one of these shows.
but it also doesnt mention everyone outside of america who have never had the chance to see it in person either haha
we had to watch the darn livestream, if they had it available, at 3am in the morning haha with lags amd crashes (not all the time)
while i think these shows are great and all, i dont really "need" to have them. people are busy, im busy. id rather watch a livestream than to book a flight, a hotel etc.
but theres still pax and all of that.
I'd rather publishers send out closed betas to garner gamer concern and interest like how we had demos back in the day.
I don't miss E3 as much as I loved it at one point but that era is long gone.
Sad to see it go. It was a great event for gamers and developers all around the world getting together and celebrate gaming as a community.
The announcements of new games/hardware, hype, surprises and seeing live audience reactions, it's something only events like E3 are able to bring. It will be missed...
if its going to be anything like the game awards where celebrities that dont even play games are there and its just full of fluff and commercial crap than no we dont need in person shows. we just end up watching the trailer montages the next day anyway.
To be honest E3 was one of my favorite times of the years when I was younger. I couldn't wait for all the big conferences and new announcements. It was hype even if nothing good was announced we had cringe moments to laugh at.
Rest in peace, E3. It may be easy to understand why you wasted away, but you will be missed.
E3 pre-2005 will be missed, everything after than ain't even close or worthy of mention to be missed. Late 90's E3's were phenominal, especially the after parties.
Those that scoff and hand-wave it away are kids that were never there. Peak E3 was peak gaming.
It already IS missed.
Pour one out for E3; it's finally deader than the dodo.
Those other games at EA and Ubisoft could have been on PC as well. Something doesn't seem right with PS4, something seems fishy. Like I said months ago, Sony changed the specs just before the PS4 reveal. What they are boasting is most likely target specs not reality. Just like PS2 and PS3 emotion engines and 10x the power of a supercomputer. IMO PS4 exclusives don't seem on par graphically to XB1.
Perhaps the reason Sony did not do live demos with their AAA's they announced a few months ago at their presser after MSFT's E3 lineup presser. MSFT is doing a hardware reveal later today, we'll see if they decided to talk about details and are settled with the current hardware configuration whatever that might be.
Are PS4's specs fiction hoping to be reality at some point?
No one knows if multi plats were on PS4 hardware but they can see multi plats running on XB1 with the console always in view.
@Greenpowerz not sure if plain ignorant or just stupid.
IMO PS4 exclusives don't seem on par graphically to XB1.
KZ:SF raped any game shown on on xbox juan graphically.

its a live demo on a system and games that are not even out yet....... who cares. pointless article that could miss lead the public.
Maybe because those are early builds? I didn't see any of the Devs saying those are final builds.
If someone develops something and is not tested correctly, do you blame the Developers or the console?
