I miss E3, /v/.
I miss it a lot.

I find myself currently engaged in the act of urolagnia, that is to say, the excretion, micturition or the process of expelling or voiding of urine, upon the celestial orb, otherwise known as Luna, the Earth's only permanent natural satellite, a large, spherical, rocky object in space that orbits the Earth.

E3 was only cool as a physical event. Once it turned into a streaming """""""event""""""" it was already dead and buried.

Now companies don't even bundle their own games into a show. Directs are dead, State of Plays happen like once a year, and Xbox doesn't have any games. It's now just a Xitter post about a game coming out in a few months just soullessly shat out with a minute video. It's so FUCKING BORING

I miss the hype, but the conferences themselves were always dogshit.
Why the fuck would I want to tune into a Microsoft or Ubisoft slop presentation in the present day.

You contradicted yourself. And besides it was funny to see a car on the E3 stage.

In the past they were always dogshit.
If they came back, they'd be dogshit still.
Always and present day.

I don't. The hype peaked with Twilight Princess and the cringe peaked with Konami 2010. It did its job and hung around a decade longer than it needed to before returning to the earth.

Me too, anon. Me too.

The closest we have now is Geoff's video game olympics, directs (which Cuckurawa has done his best to kill them) and the absolute state of play.

The TGAs don't come close. I just skimmed the last one and decided it wasn't worth my time. Don't think I'll watch this years.

E3 became a yearly car crash but at least it was entertaining.

The last E3 ended on an hour long Take-Two presentation where some ugly fat people in a Zoom meeting said you were bad because you were born white and they announced zero games

G4 coverage of E3 was always kino. I have to assume anyone who shits on E3 ITT never experienced it with the G4 buff. Both of them are gone and Sessler became uhhhhhhh so I can't help but grieve

I mean we got /v/3 but it's not the same. Not bad. Just not the same.

Banning booth babes was the beginning of the end for all conventions, E3 included.

I miss the memes. This is legitimately the last meme I think E3 ever had.

You know why Geoff Keighley always has to put a bunch of random garbage at his shows? The reality of the matter is E3 made sense as an industry event, not just as a "lmao advertise to gamers" holy week, when publishers were shitting out 5-10 games a year. Now Activision shows up as part of Xbox to show off this year's Call of Duty, and maybe some random Blizzard expansion thing. That's all Activision does these days.
Game development also takes a long ass time. Anybody will remember when for like 2-3 years Sony literally showed the same four fucking games at every conference east and west because they were taking forever to come out.
So what would be the honest point of E3 in 2026 for any serious publisher, e.g. everybody who has enough clout to not bother with the Dorito Pope tax? Temporarily derail game development to produce a trailer or vertical slice for an arbitrary date. There aren't enough games being made by big publishers to warrant E3. And games aren't coming out fast enough to need a big one hour sizzle reel.
Even Nintendo who pioneered the Direct format, literally not a few days ago just randomly dropped a new Star Fox game announcement. They've been de-emphasizing directs in favor of a tighter "reveal-to-release" pipeline.

It was fun to have a little whimsy, a week or so when /v/ could actually care about video games, actual real fucking video games, instead of inane grievances, and have things to be excited for. But there is no real reason to have the infrastructure for something like E3 in place anymore. Circling back to Dorito look at how much he charges just for a minute of airtime. Hundreds of thousands of dollars for longer trailers. That shit could pay for multiple actual developers and artists and stuff.
