Would you like to see E3 return next year?

Let's say E3 will be possible next year but with a lesser crowd at the LA convention center would you like it to comeback? or do you prefer the summer of gaming we had this year?

For me I hated the Summer of gaming it was awful IMO I missed E3 and all of it's cringe on stage. I like to see game after game reveal. Also not really a fan of Sony's state of play but I doubt they will ever go back to E3 I also miss the crowd reaction.

Yeah I would really like to see E3 come back next year even if the crowds need to limited. I just love all the crowd reactions and hoopla that an E3 with people there can provide.

Nah. I like when companies skip the crap and just show trailer after trailer. E3 is only nice for the people who are actually there where they get to play pre release stuff.

Yeah I would. E3 was my favorite time of year for game announcements. I know the game awards wants to take it over, but it has too much non gaming advertising. E3 on the other hand was just great.

Please yes. That’s when news is released and you can say that it’s the gaming “new year” in that you get to plan what kinda games you’re going to get or are hyped for.

Yes!

No. Prerecorded show without cringe is way healthier for my brain and eyes.

Sure. Let's squeeze as much fun out this dying relic of the 90s for as long as we still can.

Don't really care tbh.

Don't care.

E3 used to be fun to watch. When most games still played like games and didn't have insane budgets and normal people were allowed to attend. Haven't watched it in many years.

The yearly season for new game announcements is great, but the one specifically from the ESA has no reason to exist. Let them die.

I wouldn't mind. But i prefer just watching live reveals at home with friends.

It doesn't need to be an in-person convention. But I'd like a 3-5 day period where all the big companies do a live stage show that everyone can stream.

Let's face it, E3 has been a major disappointment for a long time now. Showing shit that either never happens, or gets heavily postponed or downgraded.

I prefer more mature tones and direct info from digital presentations. Just the facts, ma'am.

Don't really care for the event itself, just care for the announcements that come at its time.

Yes I really would as I really missed it this year. I like the crowd reactions and the style of it more.

It was my favourite gaming event of the year. I'll be surprised if it returns though, companies were already dropping it before the pandemic.

na I'm done with e3 TGA is my new E3.

E3 died when they killed off booth babes and stop making it great for nerds to show up and have some fun. They've sucked all the fun out of the event the e3 owners are the worst.

Now it's just big lines media people cutting in lines I'm just sick of it.

If it was still the 90's and stuff id still try to fly out and attend it. Like I would wonder what Squaresoft is cooking up and my favorite capcom and konami maybe catch new final fantasy tech demo...

but now I don't even wanna watch its gotten so bad have you seen EA and Ubisoft e3 conferences? There games suck they put mobile games on there now too they don't even know what they are doing anymore. It's gotten worse every single year.

Plus E3 is just too politically correct now in 2020 you can't have a hot girl showing off your product in bikini because it might trigger some other person somewhere and they are flipping out and can't handle reality. Everything's gotta be by the books and just straight edge everywhere its so friggin annoying now I just can't stand it. You go to the beach theres hot girls right? You go to the pool theres also hot girls so why can't companies hire a hot girl to show off there product anymore? I mean they exist why are we not letting them do that anymore I just don't get it and I don't think I ever will.

With the way social media works, why even waste time with E3 when major leaks just gonna spoiled E3. I can careless if E3 dies or not.

@davillain-: You should. Celebrating gaming in any form is always positive for the industry. It's not just about trailers and announcements.

Yes i Miss so much e3

Yeah i would like it back. I like watching the one show each year, not these multiple crappy streamed shows.

E3 without Sony is just an awkward, low-quality third-rated show.

I'd like E3 to come back. The excitement knowing one of your favorite developers may be there to announce a new game was always a great time. Also we lose out on tons of E3 cringe gifs.

You are describing Sony's last E3 attendance.

Huh? Sony at least introduced many of quality games, including TLOU2, Ghost of Tsuhima, Spider-Man, Nioh 2, Death Stranding and more at E3 2018.

Where is an answer from MS to those games? All MS could have done was shamelessly to keep bringing deceptive CGI trailers of a weird broken game a.k.a Cyberjunk like three years in row for artificial hype cause nothing quality games from them to show.

Man I hate modern times I think this is why alot of people like me are so nostalgic for the 90's and even the early to mid 00's to some extent political correctness has ruined alot of the great things we use to have.

Prefer E3 over digital event we got for month because in E3 any bad (mainstream) game get announced it announced for 1 day. bad plus good both. summer of gaming was torture.

Someone forgot flute man lol, the show without Sony is a good thing and it shows that Sony don't care to spend a little time with its fans because it knows its cows like you will defend their honour to the death LMFAO

I prefer game events like "Video Game Awards" to replace E3, giving awards for those who are worthy and the "world Premiers" all on the same spot is a plus just having everything in one day. E3 was only good when we gamers were still using "video game magazines" before the rise of social media.

Not to mention, with Covid-19 still in effect, I doubt E3 will open in 2021 and yes, we have a vaccine now, but that's gonna take several months for everyone to get it and I doubt things will go back to normal until after 2021.

Not only that, MS also admitted without Sony at E3, the show itself is just awkward indeed. But not just Sony, most of the publishers are leaving E3 and doing there own event is now becoming a thing.

Please, we all know its a popularity contest, nothing more, nothing less.

That maybe, I'm not gonna pretend popularity content isn't a thing, but I still glad most games (despite the few don't really need it) get the attention they deserve and the developers work hard of course. I honestly didn't expect a game like TLOU2 getting that much love and even though I have issues with the game (gameplay combat was fun) it was okay-ish, but Ghost of Tsushima is still my favorite PS4 game of 2020. Glad that game won "Player's Choice Award" and that right is saying something as gamers like myself voted for that game.

All I'm saying I rather just see VGA over E3.

Nah. Things should be better this year in game announcements anyway, without the weird game of chess Sony and MS were playing this year.

Mehh will miss Sony’s super awkward flute show, that’s for sure:)

I like E3. I like the cringe, mistakes, hype. Difference between listening to a song on iTunes and going to a concert.

I didn’t enjoy E3 the last few years. The hype leading up the event was pretty fun. But the conferences themselves were mostly just boring.

@davillain-: So you a self proclaimed Hermit actually took time out of your day to vote for a PS game, see there you go again acting like a cow in the closet.

Have you ever said your favourite GOTY was a PC game? As i only ever see you talking up PS games for your GOTY.

Sure, why not. I just want to see new games, but all the cringe that usually comes with E3 is a fun bonus.

Yes, it's better than Christmas for me nowadays.

Sorry, but I call those who do not understand the beauty of the Japanese flute's timbre a culturally uneducated barbarian. For someone like you, it would be more comfortable to hear Phil singing about the next gen's most powerful teraflop, shamelessly lying loudly for like ten minutes instead.

You don't watch E3 for its music, but its Sony and you must defend them at all costs.

This barbarian just wants to see games, not a Michelle Flaherty impersonator, this one time at band camp LOL.

Doesn't matter to me. If E3 comes back, then it comes back. It not, then oh well. Not gonna lose sleep over it.

I'm more accepting to the idea that E3 is an outdated showcase, and it's been outdated for many years and it was bound to go down under one way or another. Only reason why it would stick around is if someone loves it enough to finance and produce the thing, but I don't think it's ever going to hit height energy again, as many may remember E3 of old.

I think we're headed for the streaming future of how we get gaming information.

Actually getting thousands of people worldwide to participate in events takes a lot of recourses, and it's caved in over the years when the popularity of E3 has declined.

We're gonna see more of the video format by all the companies. Why run these big expensive shows that's not even practical in a pandemic world, when all they have to do now is upload a YouTube video and give a lineup for an entire year?

^^This. It's less about the actual convention for me and more about the week in June where there's just so much to talk about.
