| spemanig said: I think Nintendo won E3. That's no secret. Opinions are opinions are opinions, but what I DON'T think is that they absolutely smoked Sony and Microsoft. I think Nintendo had a B+ presentation, Microsoft had a B, and Sony had a B-. None were outstanding. The point is, they all have room for improvement, but since I care most about Nintendo, I'll discuss ten things Nintendo can do to have an even better E3 next year. 1. Stick with the Digital Event format. 2. Show the Digital Event at E3 on a big screen in the Nokia Theatre for the press and host a separate stream with the live audience reaction. 3. Copy Sony. Air the Digital Event in select theatres for fans. 4. Reveal every game you reveal at E3 at the Digital Event. 5. Don't spend more than five minutes on any one game. 6. Keep the skits. But change it each year. 7. DON'T SHOW CGI/CUTSCENES WITHOUT GAMEPLAY. EVER. 8. Don't ignore the 3DS. 9. Keep the Treehouse Livestream for expanding on what was shown in the Digital Event. 10. Don't end the Digital Event on a wimper. |
I'm gonna tackle, agree, comment, ect on your points.
1. Agree, but want it longer. Make it an hour.
2. Don't care. I can see live reaction of youtubers I care about if thats what I want to see. Don't care about some huge cheering, especially with how press conferences put in fake cheerers these days.
3. Sure whatever, let those that like it do it. I prefer to stay home on my computer. What they need to do is increase the Best Buy # of stores more than have theaters.
4. Mixed bag on this. Part of the reason I'm so glued to the screen watching tree houses and round tables and so on is because there is a chance of a new game being revealed. Thus if they are all revealed at the event then I might tune out. Plus some reveals may overshadow others. Take Palutena for example, she had a good 8 hours of spotlight for people to talk about. Then Pacman was revealed and Palutena was no more. If Pacman was revealed at the event as well, Palutena would have gotten no spotlight. So spreading out news not only keeps one watching, but also gives things to shine while not being lost in more epic news.
People say how many games each event/conference had, and are like Sony/Microsoft had 49 or some number each and Nintendo only 20 or something. But I could name you every one of those 20, yet woudl forget a lot of those 49. Quantity is not always a good thing in such a short time. Also reason I hate how people say who "won e3" based on conference alone. Like only those 90 minutes matter. Shouldn't they look at who had the most buzz, most stuff, ect for the whole 3-4 days of e3, not just those 90 minutes? I saw earlier that out of e3 tweets, Nintendo was part of like 50% of the tweets. To me that seems like overwhleming they won. Say what you want about which conference was most fun to watch or which has most exclusive or games, Nintendo had the most buzz and talked about most. They won e3
5. Agree with time, but the developer stuff is fine. Non stop trailers/gameplay is not good. I like hearing stuff like how they thought up ideas ect. But don't drag is out. Splatoon was too long. Yoshi was fine
6. Agree. It would help even non-e3 time if this was done. People would be excited to see who is going to get to be used, those that do this stuff would be vying for nintendo's to use them. It woudl give Nintendo free advertising basically.
7. It was all in-game stuff. We know what Zelda will look like. We have seen in-game cutscenes of zelda before. They look EXACTLY like the game. Those that played Xenoblade werne't offput by the trailer. Only those that were just hpyed up on graphics of last trailer were upset. I do agree that they didn't showcase Xenoblades greatest assets though in the trailer and instead showed off its weakest. Everyone who has played Xenoblade knows faces are not the greatest, but the landscape and world are amazing. In trailer we got faces and no landscapes.
8. Goes back to #1. Give the show another 15 minutes and you can toss in 4 3DS games easy.
9. Didn't they basically do this, plus add a few new games, which as I stated above is a great bonus. Kept me watching cause didnt' know if I would see something new like Mario Party 10 or something.
10. Yea the ending was not great. should have just ended on the Palutena reveal, or whatever game trailer they want. Not some little talk thing.
