I've been following E3 for a while, and it's never been regularly full of huge announcements that made us all go nuts, especially the years in the middle of generations. When there's new hardware, E3 has been big. Otherwise, in terms of game reveals, most E3s have been like this year's show. |
Agreed. Most of the game reveals we see anymore are devoid of much actual gameplay footage. Take the GOW3 and MAG trailers. All CGI. If you can't show me gameplay, don't bother editing together a trailer. Just announce the game is coming and leave it at that. E3 is at its best when we are on the cusp of a new hardware cycle.
Keep this in mind when reading what I type...
I've been gaming longer than many of you have been alive.
