There's just something exciting about hearing the live reaction of a crowd. ND gets the job done, but it's not as much fun.


True, but the direct get's the job done better as it's to the point, focused solely on games, and takes much less time overall. Also the hands-on events were uber fun!

I disagree. They aren't obligated to take focus away from games in a live conference, and they often spend Direct time talking about services and other things unrelated to games, anyway.

Directs are shorter, I'll give you that. But we already get 5+ major Directs each year and this is the only opportunity for a "live" Direct, so I say go for it.



Idk if they have to or not, but they do it anyway, what with them going on about sales data or hearing them say how awesome something is for 30 minutes before actually showing it. Also I'm talking about the E3 direct specifically, not all directs in general. I can only remember game talk going on at last year's E3, instantly going straight from one game to the next.
