Didn't companies just start to copy Nintendo Direct?

and show stuff when they're ready on their own time now?

On some level, I'm a bit sad that the revival fell through. I have fond memories of E3 and all of the exciting announcements it had. It was always a fun time of the year.

...But it has sadly become kind of redundant, and the attempt to revive it was seriously falling apart extremely quickly.

E3's days were numbered once companies realized they could just put out a youtube video of their announcements or have their own event.

oh well.

E3 was more for the industry rather than consumers, anyway.

with directs/states of play, they better reach the public, and we get more of those throughout the year.

This is pretty much proof there is no room for gaming events in 2023 if the biggest gaming convention of the year keeps getting cancelled.

I won't lie, even though I fully expected it to become a relic of the past, it does sting a little since I watched it every year.

Anyway RIP E3

What frustrates me isn't that E3 is cancelled. What frustrates me is that this is another excuse for Sony to put out another half assed Sony State of Play. Yes, they show off gameplay which is great, don't get me wrong, but even Nintendos worst Direct at least takes the time to showcase some titles for me to get excited about. I'm happy to see upcoming games gameplay but I wish Sonys SOP would be 20 minutes longer and at least showcase a couple new games coming to Playstation.

E3 hasn't been the biggest convention in years though. It's the biggest in North America, but a lot of the international conventions like Gamescom, Tokyo Gameshow and PAX have larger showings. And the Game Awards are quickly becoming a bigger deal than E3

Everyone had pulled out, so this was inevitable.

I have to say, though, that I'm genuinely disappointed. I still love the buzz around E3.

E3 is no longer needed, but I will miss it. I remember back in the day, probably 2006 and 2007 watching E3 live and posting in the live discussion topics on CE. It is a nostalgic time.

Probably new consoles that they are going to announce at discrete proprietary events where they don't have to compete with attention or limited press.

RIP E3.

Fond memories of the kinda hype they generated and how watching/reading about it was like Christmas came early. But there's just no place for it today in a world of each company doing their own Directs on Youtube.

Again? That's too bad. Remember when E3 was called something else in the mid 90s. I guess it's just so much easier to do your own direct and the overhead for E3 probably was a lot.
