How'd E3 fuck themselves?
BoiFrosty t1_jeehjww wrote
Basically they wanted lots of money/ advertising rights for various companies to have press conferences at E3 proper so all three big publishers said fuck that and held their press conferences around the same time and still in LA but not actually part of E3.
Iirc from 2019, xbox, play station, Nintendo, Bethesda, square enix, and the PC games press conference were all held the week before. Those shows and the associated panels are the biggest draw of E3 and almost none of them showed up.

I attended E3 in the early 2000s during its prime. I remember fondly of the MGS2 trailer debut, Nintendo Gamecube and Xbox announcement, the fall of the Sega Dreamcast. E3 was technically a "trade show" and a lot of journalists, whom themselves hardcore gamers, attend and try to beat each other to publish the first story on new games. There are conference talking about the industry, business, and technical workshops about new technology. I've been in interviews with Peter Moore, J Allard, Hironobu Sakaguchi, Cliff B, Yuji Naka, Yu Suzuki, and so on. It was genuinely exciting. I also remember Nintendo released a bunch of trailers online, on the day before E3 floor is to open.
So looking back, I think that was the key difference. I remember getting the tripod and try to find a good spot and waiting for the MGS2 trailer premier, so I can get a good feed and upload the video, back then, you need to be in the media and have an invite in order to attend the press conference, and you try to write the stories and there are even media area with internet so that the journalists can work and send out news.
Now, completedly different, every major press conference is broadcasted live, every trailer is available the moment the embargo was lifted, media already know and probably have already written stories just waiting to be published because they are already briefed on the new titles. So, what's the point of attending the floor show anymore? All the big titles are already knowns, doing interviews on the noisy floor is horrible because all the music and noise are interfering, not to mention the slots are all scheduled way in advance, good lucky trying to score an interview with famous industry personalities.
Today, having a highly produced press conference is just so much easier, the Internet really is what killed E3. I've attended PAX and similar shows, none of them comopare to the prime days of E3.

It is a little saddening that I don't think anything will ever replicate that feeling of E3. The day coming when every studio would have stuff to show, and they compete to one-up each other. Then we talk about the winners and losers of E3 when it's all over.
Companies just doing random pressers throughout the year doesn't have the same feel. And I really don't believe this is a nostalgia thing. It just doesn't. I see so many announcements for a Playstation State of Play or something, and I sometimes have to wonder, "Will you actually have anything good to show, or are you just going to say, 'we're still working on that game.'" It's like Bilbo in the LOTR: "Like butter scraped over too much bread."

This is true, but you have to also realize that generation grew up on video games are way more open about their kids playing video games today than ever before. In a way, gaming is main stream and with that the mystique is long gone.

E3 needs to rebrand from its current media targeted, behind-closed-doors, AAA publisher advertising event, to a gamer targeted indie dev event, with a focus on demo booths and merch.
Acquire16 t1_jed3630 wrote
There's already conventions like that. Biggest one is PAX which happens across the US and in Australia. E3 served a very specific purpose as a trade show. For an industry that's primarily digital software there's no reason to do such a large in person event anymore.
CouchWizard t1_jeec5p1 wrote
Unsure if you've been, but at least PAX East has only had that as a side attraction. It's maybe about 15% indie, 15% AA, 10% AAA, 15% PC hardware, and 45% merch booths. Expo/Convention as a dev to consumer thing days are numbered, and the writing on the wall was when PAX started being streamer focused

It needs to be ComicCon for video games
blahteeb t1_jedq5r2 wrote
PAX and Gamescom are already that.
While it'd be nice to have more events, it's really only necessary at this point for the locality.
Publishers only have a handful of games to show a year so they don't need 10 different shows. One or two would suffice. However, as someone from the Midwest, it'd be really nice to have something grand closer to home.
But yea, if you're looking for a gaming convention similar to ComicCon, you're just looking for PAX or Gamescom.

Industry has also just shifted focus towards these events. Most major publishers do have a presence at Gamescom.

The industry in my opinion is making a fool of itself. They're letting the biggest publishers hubris take down what once was a great show and what could be again. Sega even wanted to attend, and they are not a small publisher. Then they pulled out because everybody else is jumping ship.
And what is the replacement? Random corny shows when most of the publishers don't even have their shit together.
IGN summer of gaming was absolute shit last year. I won't even bother tuning in this year. The interviews were at some point so bad nobody had anything to say.
You have the game awards which is generally a couple of stars and 100 trailers and it's much much better.
Maybe there's more insight out there, but I don't get it. Every industry has their trade shows and celebration and presenting their wares to the industry and the buying public. But we're getting just a bunch of random YouTube videos which we get all through the year anyway?
Trash.

I got what you're saying, all good
Like I mentioned Sega and some other companies actually wanted to do something. Honestly they still can, but they just need a new strategy. These guys only job is to figure out a new format and I won't say it simple, but man it's been years and no dice. Sad.
It's not just games either, a big photography show in New York changed formats and it was such a disaster it got canceled as well.. after the first revision got canceled. Welp.
Sigh...imho, there should not not be an E3
At least I have my memories of bring there in Dreamcast heyday, random trip with two friends no car and have to hitchhike in LA. Those were the days 😂

PalmBlock t1_jed9rwu wrote
GDC is the industry trade show now.
E3 was marketing padding it’s budget and launching their marketing campaigns for the fall/winter releases. It’s main purpose was to get gaming magazines (remember those?) running previews of games coming out at the end of the year, or building the hype train for a future release. There was a minor aspect of retailers and publishers talking about shelf space, total orders, marketing materials and such, and you had small publishers that were shoved to the back and sides of West hall or stuck in the dregs of Kentia Hall (often joked as “can’t afford a better hall”) trying to negotiate some retail buys but that’s pretty much it.
GDC basically stole the industry specific panels and learning workshops.
The changing nature of game retail killed the retail meetings. GDC also stole whatever remained of this part of the show.
And the death of game magazines and transition to the internet only of game journalism eliminated the need for an industry only show.
So no, the industry isn’t making a fool of itself, it’s performing a mercy on a show that was basically useless to the current and future marketplace that only survived as long as it did by virtue of established inertia and nostalgia, sliding into irrelevance. Would it have lasted a bit longer without Covid? Sure, but the writing was on the wall by 2017 so it didn’t cut much short. The only ones who should be lamenting it’s passing are marketing douchbags who now no longer have justification for millions in their budget and the local cocaine dealers, prostitutes, and bikini models that now don’t have that sweet summer paycheck.
Those random corny shows and game awards filled with trailers give them more bang for their buck marketing wise. And the closed off nature of E3 and game journalism moving to the digital space made it so E3 was basically a bunch of Youtube videos whose only difference from any other time of the year was an E3 logo plaster at the start and end by the last few shows anyways.
If E3 wants to survive and become relevant again it should become a PAX knockoff. Open it up to the public, demo showcase, etc.
Or it’ll stay trash as an industry trade event nobody really cares about. And like trash it’ll end up in a dumpster and forgotten about.

It's simply cold realistic take upon situation. That's all there is to it. E3 isn't some sacred symbol to industry, it was functional tool, and as this person pointed out, functionalities of it aren't really there any more.
So no, giving more proper extended answer isn't "being passionate about demise". He just gave properly detailed answer why.

I'm interested to see what Summer Game Fest does over the next few years - in the same way that The Game Awards replaced the VGAs, if they play their cards right and keep the big names on board it's possible we could see a Summer Game Fest Expo as a compliment to the longer online event at some point (though I certainly don't think it's likely to happen in the short term).

In an industry where almost every single big player is is a faceless, souless entity, personalities that you actually remember are far and few between, everyone knows Randy Pitchford, Bobby Kottick, Todd Howard, Yves Guillemot, Kojima, Hidetaka Miyazaki etc.But such a sizable portion of them are just so blatantly apathetic and out of touch with the industry.
This makes Geoff Keighley stand above many of them because he genuinely believes in the medium and the industry and always tries to prop up not only great industry icons but outstanding independent developers too when he can. His shows are a celebration of these developers, E3 instead is a business event for these developers, but at the very least on the surface, his shows have some heart. Just look at some of the biggest memes of last year or any year he is involved in, there are so many memeable moments.
Look, he's got faults when it comes to corporatism, but that is mostly in the past decade ago when he was memed to death as the Dorito pope, google dorito pope if you don't know that past.

Last year's Summer Games Fest sucked and all I remember is how it had zero cool reveals, was way too long, and The Calisto Protocol's boss used his segment to kiss Geoff's ass. He also had Gamescom last year and it was really bad. I hope he does a good job with his events but I think we're missing out big time by losing E3.
It's worth remembering that he's 100% the product of nepotism with his extremely wealthy father pulling strings to get Geoff opportunities within the industry,

On the announcement side, maybe, but it still enabled a bunch of gameplay reveals for a lot of anticipated games such as Modern Warfare 2, A Plague Tale 2, System Shock remake etc.
