Sony spending too much time with people playing games live on stage or really long and verbose presentations like that kept happening from the Japanese Capcom guy for SFV



Around the Network

Nintendo not showing something we don't know about, i.e. making E3 all about Mario Odyssey, Arms, Splatoon 2, Fire Emblem Warriors and Xenoblade Chronicles 2.



Microsoft: No exclusive games.

Sony: Same games with no new announcement.

Nintendo: Same games with no new announcement



MS: Not enough games to back up their platform, nor warrant a reason to get a Scorpio.
Sony: Focus too much on stuff we already know, no new announcements/surprises, and not showing off TLOU2.
Nintendo: I don't even wanna think about it...



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Not announcing Suikoden VI

Technically I have a feeling some other studios might cover their releases intensely (For example Ubisoft might fully cover Rayman Definative and Rabbids).



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?

Sony: impossiburu, I cannot imagine a scenario where they can fail to deliver lol

Nintendo: by focusing only on 2017 titles and predictable games: Mario, Splatoon 2, Pikmin, ports like Smash 4, MarioMaker etc. I want some hype stuff like Wonderful 102, Mario Football 3, Luigi's Mansion 3, Diddy Kong Racing 2, BEYOND GOOD N EVIL 2 etc

Microsoft: I give them 5% chance to impress me, have the lowest expectation I ever had for any conference ever so I dunno how they could manage to do worse. It can only go up for me with this one.

Brah those games are very likely to be saved for PSX.



Nintendo not showing Pikmin 4 with modafoca graphics shooting lasers from spacial hell and beyond. :c



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Meh, probably best to stop pretending it's 2005. E3 is not nearly as big or important as it once was. It has lost a lot of weight. There aren't many announcements anymore, and even Nintendo has stated they plan to do their big announcements at another time. Their plans are for an extended length Direct focused on the rest of the year.

Gamescom is the most popular show of the year, and is now multiple times bigger than E3. While E3 gets under 50K in attendance and 200 exhibitors, Gamescom saw 345,000 people, including more than 6000 journalists, and over 700 exhibitors from 88 countries.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

I wouldn't expect TLOU2 footage this E3, probably next. They did say it was in early development, after all. Not sure about Death Stranding and Rockstar's never been big on E3, either. Days Gone, Detroit, Spiderman, God of War, and Sucker Punch's new game all ought to make appearances, though.
