What I've Learned So Far From Going To Video Game Conventions

PixelatedGeek says "In the past few months, I've been fortunate to attend this year's Game Developer's Conference and Electronic Entertainment Expo. I will additionally be present at Comic-Con, Penny Arcade Expo, Blizzcon and (perhaps?) Tokyo Game Show. I've always been a spectator – it wasn't until this year that I've been lucky enough to be considered a part of the industry. And during this time, I've mingled with, been courted by, taken shots with, been harassed by, become Facebook friends with and developed friendships with people from the video game companies who make the games that I've been playing all of my life."

"Nobody gives a sh*t about your small video game blog."

Too true ... gotta push hard for recognition. Even if an event will let you in as "press", it does not mean the world at large will even think to consider you a contender.

I like rooting for the underdog. Most of the sites I visit are the smaller blogs. Great article!

Fullish5847d ago

same, I run a small gaming blog.
Always great to see them get respect

solidxz5847d ago

Yeah, the smaller sites are usually my favorite. Don't really trust the big sites to be unbiased after the Gamespot Kane & Lynch fiasco. And small blogs tend to have more personality.

chill out on the guy man. You guys are way too hard on people sometimes. BTW, I learned alot just by my friends going to E3. Its all work, and hardly any play. That is if you work for a credible site of course. Also, it cost alot of money even if you get a free pass. Food, hotels, plane tickets. Plus you can just watch everyone who gets paid to do it instantly online or on G4. I would never waste my time going to E3 or the like unless I got paid to do it working for G4, IGN, gamespot ect.

I'd agree that Twilight Princess is a highlight but they totally forgot to mention The Last Guardian being a highlight at first then years and years of disappointment from then on (until 2015)

What Makes E3 So Special?

E3 is the greatest annual event in the gaming calendar; it’s like Christmas and Easter rolled into one for anyone who enjoys video games.

The biggest industry names, both developers and publishers, take to the Los Angeles Convention Centre stage to showcase the awesome things they have in store for gamers across the globe. Fans flood the convention floors to get their hands on some of the exciting games releasing in the not too distant future… unless they’re from Ubisoft (when is The Division actually coming out?).

But what exactly makes this annual trade fair so special?
