Tensions have definitely been rising as we have entered a countdown of less than one month until E3. There are always tensions and arguments that cause heated debates (Wii is doomed, who has better graphics) before this. However, the turning of E3 from a PR event into a challenge of massive proportions on a scale that "makes or breaks ya" really does turn people into demons. You see this before and after every E3. Instead of enjoying the competition the competitors show that ultimately makes the gamers lives a hell of a lot better, we instead fight over them.
Already there are debates of who will do the best, or speculation of which game will go where and whatnot. There are people already at cutthroat over who will have the best. Old arguments stirring again. Is this what we should be discussing before E3, or should we be talking about the possibilities... not the war. It's a war or competition between the developers. For us, in a capitalist market, that's a good thing because they are trying to please us and the media.
Guys we should discuss and debate, even heated, over things about E3 or even who wins. But let's not ruin the event. E3 is supposed to be a great time for gamers. This is when "dreams" essentially do come true in the gaming world. Twilight Princess back at E3 2004 or the Halo 3 trailer at E3 2005. Or even the God of War 3 trailer at E3 2008. I mean these are great times to be gamers. Debate and argue with your "rivals" all ya want but remember this is a great time for all of us. Try to enjoy it and not get too lost in the competition. We'll all have better memories of these conferences if we do it that way.
