Forums - Gaming - E3 is in 2 days and I am barely excited

Yeah I'm not very excited this year either. In part it's due to Nintendo's smaller footprint, but it's also due to the rhythm of E3. There's so much bloat. In a perfect world each company would have 45-60 minutes for gameplay trailers, a few teasers, and some developer interviews. No empty promises. No pausing for reluctant applause. No executives stumbling through their talking points on stage.

Part of the reason I like the Digital Event/Treehouse is the focus on development and gameplay. I've grown weary of the pomp and circumstance at tradition E3 pressers.

Another reason I'm ambivalent is that it's hard to trust anything. I thought the Battlefront trailer stole the show last year. The game ended up being mediocre. Sony promised Horizon in 2016. It's now due in 2017. Microsoft advertised Fable Legends. Not only is that game canceled but its studio is closed.



Around the Network

I too am not excited. I'm still not sure if I should even watch the conferences live or just read about them later.

Me too.

There has been so many games and announcements spoiled before this E3 that my excitement has fallen like a rock.



Please excuse my bad English.

Gotta admit my hype levels arnt that high... mainly due to nintendo.
Now that so much of microsofts E3 stuff have leaked, Im even less so.

Sony has to hit it out of the ballpark.



Not really all that interested so far. Everything mentioned is more or less a "meh" for me including the new Quake (which now sounds like an Overwatch wannabe), I'm just not feeling it and there haven't really or will be any announcements for games I'd really want to play.

I'm looking forward to PC Gamer's E3 in about 2 hours but even then I'm not getting my hopes up, it;s not like anyone is going to announce a return of an old RTS or even a new one or a decent Arena shooter.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
