I saw a guy watching a 'cut down' version of Nintendo's previous E3 Direct, which just had the claymation stuff and none of the trailers; didn't even know it was Nintendo's E3 from last year... and he says he wants to be a game-developer (he's looking to get into the programming for game design course I'm doing but has never done any courses in web design, multimedia authoring, 3D modelling, digital-art , animation or even film so I don't know how that'll work out for him). Didn't even realize how much praise their reimagining of E3 got in the media.

How 'informed' are modern consumers? I mean, its one thing not to know about Shin-Megami-Tensei or that Project Spark has released but how can someone who thinks they want to be a game designer skip any of the E3 events? I mean Nintendo may not be the most successful, but why would anyone deliberately choose to be uninformed on something that they're supposed to care about? I mean just because someone would be disinterested in actually owning the console doesn't mean they should be turning a blind eye to a third of the industry (and remember, Nintendo means the Wii-U AND the 3DS).

 

Kids these days seem pretty clueless... you guys have any stories about the 'next generation' actively ignoring Nintendo rather than just disliking their decisions? I mean I have a friend who is a self-confessed PC FANBOY who still watched the twin's conferences and the direct! You can probably already guess that he's in his mid-twenties.


I want to be a game designer and I skip Sony and Microsoft's E3s all the time. We Have our ideas on what we want to do already and we have our main interest. I'm only interested in nintendo games so this person probably just isn't interested in E3 or nintendo at E3. Its really not a problem in my book.


well sony/ms just shows some cgi trailers and let people talk about boring stuff on the stage. nintendo shows alot more and has interesting interviews at the treehouse...
