Intel presser starting. With an esports monologue

So the PC show is starting an hour early, streaming a Twitch stream, and throwing a game while dancing as Lucio in spawn? This is the E3 I never knew I wanted.

Potential for James Cameron to come on stage and summarize the entire plot of all five Avatar movies for half an hour

This is my fondest E3 memory. I don't even think there was any explanation for it. Just, here's James Cameron for the rest of your afternoon.

Just to follow up from something in the last thread; Microsoft didn't have anything VR-based because they're likely still busy setting fire to their money trying to make their $3000 Hololens Mixed-Reality Headset into A Thing with developers.

Bring VR to e-sports.

Give headsets to all the people in the audience! Make them really feel like they're sitting in a chair and bored! You could reach right out and touch the smelly guy in front of you!

It's hilarious to compare this to Dirt Rally, which at least imo is another big VR seller, there's nothing like whipping around corners and bouncing off hills when you're trapped in the cockpit.

Mine as well. He was ostensibly there to talk about how the Ubisoft game would expand the world of the movie, and then...he just kinda goes on autopilot and runs through a speech you know he had given to every potential investor in the film for over a decade:

It's weird, the Order 1886 developers were like "We don't like when gameplay gets in the way of our cinematic story" and then they followed it up with... a multiplayer VR esports game
