Other The E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) show is officially CLOSED
Dimo4ka posted a topic in Other Games
The Electronic Entertainment Expo, which was once the gaming industry’s biggest convention and media platform, is officially dead. On December 12, 2023, organisers from ReedPop officially closed the iconic Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the world's premier video game expo for over 20 years. "After more than two decades of E3, each one cooler than the last, it's time to say goodbye. Thank you for the memories," ReedPop reported. ©The Washington Post In March, organisers from ReedPop cancelled the 2023 E3 video game expo, including the online version of the event. The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) explained to the partners that the event "simply did not generate the sustained interest necessary to hold it in a way that demonstrates the size, strength and influence of the gaming industry." The E3 show was scheduled to take place offline from 13 to 16 June. It was the main celebration of gamers for almost 20 years. Last years the exhibition felt the crisis - big companies started to hold more and more often their own presentations, not saving loud announcements for E3, which decreased the popularity of E3 itself, and renting such a colossal space is very expensive. Covid literally killed E3. All my childhood and adolescence I was excited to see the E3 exhibition and dreamed of going there as a visitor. It was the main event, games, trailers, so far and so on. The best of the best trade shows, where they showed a lot of incredible things. I watched a lot of streams from the show, watched the speakers and every time after watching the show I was eager to see the titles. E3 started dying first when Sony left in 2018, then Microsoft, Nintendo, Sega, Ubisoft and others left in 2021-2023. Everyone got the funds and the opportunity to have their own independent expo for ardent fans. I feel like a whole era is over now. Thanks to the organisers and creators for the vivid emotions and presentations!

Don't Expect a Traditional Microsoft E3 Showing This Year
Night Hunter posted a topic in Report News
Microsoft is breaking from the mold of past E3 showings and will try something different this year at the marquee industry event to be held this June in Los Angeles. We already knew that Microsoft was planning to focus more on first-party games this year, but now Head of Xbox boss Phil Spencer has teased even more ways in which the company plans to shake things up when all eyes on on the Xbox company. Spencer speaking at E3 2015 Responding to a fan's question on Twitter about Microsoft's plans for E3 this year, Spencer said Microsoft will have "some interesting changes this year for briefing and the week." "I like it when we test ourselves to do better each year." Spencer went on to say that Microsoft will talk about not only Xbox One games, but also titles for PC. "We'll have some of both," he explained. This is hardly surprising, as Microsoft's new Windows 10 operating system is due to launch this summer with a renewed focus on gaming. Windows 10 will feature a new and improved built-in Xbox app, cross-platform play support for games like Fable Legends, and even a game-streaming application. And if AMD is right, the new OS will launch at the end of July, not long after E3. Microsoft has not yet announced when it will hold its E3 press conference. But the likely bet would the Monday morning of E3 week. That would mean sometime on June 15, after Bethesda's the night earlier, and before Ubisoft, Electronic Arts, and Sony later in the day.
