Post by: MrAngryFace on July 30, 2006, 02:29:33 PM: How do they deal with costs of the event? I thought the gaming industry was bigger than ever in terms of overall profit. Id think the people running E3 could simply charge more since companies have more to give.

While I will never attend E3 again I would like to get all hyped up for the next year of gaming. Of course you know what this DOES mean. Better games released he month before and the few months AFTER E3. No more holding out for the big show.

We're industry insiders, you know :-*

Yeah, but budgets are also bigger than ever. Also, maybe developers and publishers are realizing that they need to reboot how they exhibit shit so they can keep fanfucktards out of the expo.

I'm sure the EB/Gameplop fucktards easily outnumber the friend-of-a-friend magazine fucktards.

Post by: MrAngryFace on July 30, 2006, 02:47:44 PM: Well I dont deny it needed retooling. This is pretty drastic tho.

Title: Re: E3 Cancelled :(
Post by: cloudwalking on July 30, 2006, 02:48:27 PM: Heh, to be honest, I'm kinda glad I missed it this year. I had fun there and all, but it's just that sort of thing where you do it once and that's easily enough. Even though it's exciting, it's also really tiring. The best part for me was just hanging out with my friends and checking out LA.

Like it's 1999, brother.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on July 30, 2006, 03:55:40 PM: Branching the code for E3 demos eats up time and manpower, so it's probably good for business overall.

Frankly, I'm tired of the fanboy theatrics around E3, so hey: good on me, mate.

We'll always have TGS and Leipzig.

So what will be the big game show now, TGS?
Title: Re: E3 Cancelled :(
Post by: The Fake Shemp on July 30, 2006, 05:50:16 PM: Nobody can afford to have EB Games fly them to Japan, so the big show now is probably Casual Friday at EB Games in Westchester, PA.

Mother fuckers pull that shit right before I get a chance.
