Thinking about it, when exactly did E3 stop being so important?

Or was it never really that important and I only thought so because I was a young kid?

Define "important"? It's still the biggest marketing tradeshow of the year and a ton of business is conducted at it. It's just that with the internet and direct marketing services like Twitter etc it's less important to fill a 3 day block of meetings with magazines and newspapers to get your exposure and some companies realize that their particular product will probably get lost in the noise and could generate better buzz outside of a huge big tent event.

There was a few year period where they drastically reduced E3, but they went back on that.

Metroid Prime 4 is called System Shock 3 is called Prey.

But it would be nice if Nintendo remembered that franchise exists. And F-Zero, drat it.

feels like we should have more rumors and leaks by now.....makes me wonder if the source who told me e3 would be lit was wrong....

Kinda feel like Sony will be there with some kind of PS3 BC. Maybe pro or future pro versions only- or something as light as free psnow games as preorder bonuses

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


The only way I could be less interested in Days Gone is if they came out and said it will have roguelike elements and base building.

Base building would make me more interested, rogue elements not so much

Me too, zombie genre is tired as gently caress but it seems to be cooling down somewhat. Sony Bend has always been a tiny studio, it's cool to see them working on a higher profile title.

Rumors are that its not strictly a zombie game that theres more going on there, but the source is the kinda funny guys who claim to know people at the studio and idk how credible their unsourced podcast talk is

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
They released a note that was basically "Oh yea, we're still working on it" and absolutely no status, screenshot or videos to back it up.

Honestly, I don't know what they're expecting now that Dying Light absolutely destroyed them at their game.

I was really excited at first for Dead Island 2 because it was being done by Yager (Spec Ops: The Line) and I was curious to see what they could do with the formula but then they peaced out and last I checked it's an online-only sandbox MMO-flavored FPSRPG oriented around co-op.
