I think you mean its heresy to talk shit about Sony AND Nintendo. Microsoft is the only acceptable punching bag atm.
I do agree that they are announcing stuff way too early. I can understand that game development time has increased a lot but things like FF7 remake being announced in 2015 and then having next to nothing for the next 3 years is fairly frustrating for the fans. A game should only be showing a maximum of 2 times in an e3. With the PSX every december, i think its a lot more viable to announce titles at e3 and show development progress during PSX.
I suppose we have made it so E3 needs to drop bombshells every time or its deemed a failure. Maybe if we pull back our expectations, companies won't feel as obligated to give us bombshells that are years away from being finalized just for the sake of "winning" these type of shows. More accurately though, I think they do it just to sell people on the prospect of that game coming to that specific console, eventually. The sooner a company can get that sale, even if the person never gets the game, the better.
