E3 opening for the first time ever to the public

[The Mad Titan]

Man if this was a couple a years ago...


Also if they announced this last year i might have try to make plans for it this year.

oh well, attendance or viewers must be down a bit.

I dont know if I'd pay 250 for E3 now unless it was a console release year.

E3 was over after that booth girl ban and locking down on credentials, never recovered after that bullshyt.
They had a nice run but its never coming back and its their own fault

Yea.. they really shouldn't have got rid of the booth babes..

what do you mean by the locking down on credentials? I know people use to be able to sneak in if they worked for whatever rinkydink gaming site.

E3 was notorious in granting credenitals to everyone who asked. They clamped down and only started taking them from "legit" news sources in early 2000s.
Its a total joke though, never seen a industry convention actively hate their customers who make the industry relevant like the video gaming industry, they were showing their disdain before the SJW craze and gamergate

Me too!

Companies have been pullin outta of it and have their own shows for console reveals. Which means it's a wrap for E3.. unless they start to change it up.

This.

I'm not sure if Nintendo was the first,

But their Nintendo Directs let them reveal what they want, when they want.

So I'm not surprised

Just a 30 minute drive through fukkery for me...I'll be in there.

I'm too deeply vested in going to SDCC to be distracted by E3

They've been slipping after they tried to change the format back in 08.

I must have stepped foot in an alternate reality in this thread.

E3 is by the far the biggest and most hyped gaming event of every year.

with all of the coverage and social media there's really no need to go unless you want swag bags filled with shirts and stickers

i've been to a couple of big video game conferences and that's enough for me. i was walking around with the face because of the bad BO

probably won't even be as much swag since they know a bunch of civilians gonna be there

 

[Just like bruddas]

They about 15 years too late
