Official stream of Day 3 of E3 from the official YouTube channel.
Please note: moments of annoying advertising built into the stream. Hint: Verizon! Verizon! VERIZON!
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.
I'm going to keep this pinned while it's streaming live and update the title for major showcase events. First one is at 10:15 PT / 1:15 ET for the Take-Two showcase event.
ahhh great! More weirdo-blue-hair-zoomer-stuff in our games.
Wtf is this trash on right now?
Turned it on
First thing they were going on was representation
Now they are talking about girl only spaces and why it's needed, despite the fact the industry has never NOT included people of a certain gender. Do these people think there's a "no entry for girls" sign when they go to sign up to do video game development courses at Universities? Maybe most women just aren't interested.
Do people like to make bigger deals out of these things because they get to go up on their high horse and feel powerful, a knight in shining armour, saving the day.
If you try and be more inclusive and you can end up making things worse
