We've seen a lot of game developers drop out of the ESA lately and decide to skip E3 altogether. Surely we can't blame them, given that it probably costs a lot of resources just to participate in an event (that's now less important than it was) where you're bound to get overshadowed by the "Big Three" anyway.

Do you think these developers will eventually learn to suck it up and participate in E3? Or will we see more developers skip E3?

(And yes, I've finally updated our Weekly Poll :P )

NIce to see again. Yet, you didn't make a poll. Anyways, money is obviously an issue for companies to make up with. Most eyes are on the Big Three during E3. Developers may be looking to announce their games at smaller events so they are noticed.

Yes, I seem to have forgotten the "poll" part of the "Weekly Poll". :P Sorry about that, I'll fix that now.

I voted:lol:. I think they will get used to it in time. However, they will probably get more attention at different events.

I doubt they will really care as much. Personal events are becoming more standard for developers now anyway. And as it turns out the downsized e3 was really just last year in overall size. This year they are in LA again at the same place as before, just more strict about letting people get through security (it was never supposed to be more than a press event anyway).

:lol:, Again, Resident Evil 5 is the only game I care about at E3, and Capcom will be there, so I'm good :P.

Well I don't want it to be Co-op because I enjoy single player experiences like Super Mario 64 and Zelda Ocarina Of Time. Single player experiences are the best in my opinion and having someone annoying in the game doesn't seem to make it much fun.

You mention Zelda OOT yet you seem to forget about Navi. Anyway last I checked this thread wasn't about whether or not you want co-op in RE5 so let's back on topic and please guys keep all that RE5 crap in the OTT. E3 is dying and I think companies will soon only attend their own events.

It isn't what it use to be but they are normally big announcements.

i care the most about Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sonys keynotes. the rest of the devs are better off holding their own events, with only press there so they'll get more time to play demos of games i want to know about.

I don't really care, as long as I hear from Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony.
