Alright, enough already! even a mod is involve in this crap. E3 is as relevant as ever. This year will be one one the biggest most reported ever. 2K not being mean nothing, every year, a certain amount of Developers are not there, but most will be. Nintendo will be there, they just won't have a press as only MS and Sony have consoles to show.

Activision is still not attending as well, aren't they?

Could be that after their drive to make E3 smaller back in 2007, the show is finally on its way to irrelevance.


activision simply has nothing to show. CoD and another skylanders. what else? how would they fill a 1 hour presentation with that? also CoD is usually shown at the xbox confrence.

ohh and bungie will be at E3 with Destiny, dont know if that counts as activision going though.

no way is it on the way to irrelevance, the show gets, by far, the most media attention. its still the best way to market a game.

But neither of the consoles will actually be announced there, at least if MS's May 21st thing bears out. This year will be big, but not for announcements, rather for getting details on the new consoles, their launch lineups, and Nintendo's stuff.

True, true. Although i would argue that diminished relevance is something we've seen coming, and any boost E3 gets this year will be temporary. The lackluster shows that dominated most of this generation have to count for something.

2k Games and Rockstar Games are two separate entity that are both wholly owned by Take Two Interactive.

This announcement has nothing do with Rockstar being present or not at E3 (Even though will likely skip like they always do).

Maybe 2K can't show too much on the Bureau yet, which was announced the other day (who knows?)

E3 hasn't been relevance in the past 3 years. Not much news get out its such a big unorganized event. I feel PAX does a better job then E3.


Is this some kind of joke? E3 is mostly a private event to the media and they finally allowed crowds to come into it a couple years ago so more with come as the years go by. Pax is a crowd access event and gets far less media. Actually no one cares about PAX except gamers.
