It’s a shame to lose an event like this. Nintendo direct style streams were always going to take over and are mostly better, but the biggest and best reveals are best in front of a live audience
@Ignochomp99 It doesn't need to do anything like the rest of the industry. That's how they won last generation despite a failed console and their follow up being over three years late compared to the other two.
Many people (including the ESA themselves) nowadays forget that E3 is supposed to be a trade show meant for the press, like CES and SXSW. But once they decided to make the event more publicly available for the larger general public and try to turn it into Comic-Con for gamers, this whole thing began to fall apart. Not to mention that we live in a time most of these companies can announce most of their products on their own time rather than showing them at some other event.
Like it or not, you got to give credit to Iwata and Nintendo in 2013, they had a feeling that a live event is not necessary, and even since other companies followed suit.
Genuinely sad about this, even if it seemed a bit inevitable. Always enjoyed it back in the day, the individual announcement streams etc just dont have the same hype and fun about them imo
As far as an alternative for networking, I think GDC could really grow into a place of gathering for passionate insiders of the industry. Embracing the publicity of E3 is really what killed it in my opinion. So I think the nature of GDC is a great way of gathering insiders without the high demand of a pubic presence. Even if there's ultimately less news than E3, I think GDC could tweak itself a bit to be a great place for the best people from across the industry to network annually.
E3 has been a highlight of my year for as long as I can remember. Very sad to see it gone. Thank you to Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft and Sega for many wonderful E3s 💜
It stinks yes - it's very sad to see E3 go, but it's probably for the better. Still, Nintendo, Sony, Sega, and Microsoft definitely gave us a lot of amazing memories in E3.
It’s a sad day, E3 was the Super Bowl of gaming events for a long time. So many great experiences, memories, all the hype and excitement it brought to gamers was incredible. Times changed, the video game industry evolved and unfortunately, the E3 era is over.
E3 was gaming hype Christmas, no other event even came close. I used to spend days, including booking off work during Uni so I could listen to E3 all day. I fondly remember being actually sick and staying home particularly the treehouse coverage of E3 2014 with all the segments on splatoon. I can't lie... E3 forced gaming companies to show off their futures in bulk and we will forever no longer have a week strait of gaming news for every company in the industry. E3 could be cringe at times, I remember a few boring ones from back in the day, but honestly just knowing that "Hey it's June, they're definitely going to give us an update on [upcoming title]" is basically dead now is deeply saddening. As a non-PS user, it was always cool to watch what was coming to PlayStation. Now that everything is separate, I don't really keep up with non PC/Nintendo news. I will miss E3, and I don't care what the haters say.
It's so great that game explained discussions are still here even though it's under a different name. It's funny because Andre like never showed up for these even when they were a big deal back when y'all were on his channel lol
He didn't? From what I remember they had a pretty even rotation of people in the discussions, just that they limited them to 3 or 4 people at a time, so not everyone could join every discussion. Definitely remember hearing André in plenty of them, though.
I remember everyone freaking out when Nintendo stopped doing E3 presentations in favor of Nintendo Direct. Turns out they were ahead of the curve all along. Now even Xbox and Playstation have their own versions of it.
I wonder if people's general hypocrisy is partially what makes me pretty damn cynical. It's like how people are mourning the loss of the old eShops. How many people genuinely still played the 3DS and Wii U on a regular enough basis to justify being down about it? And how many rushed out to download games because of the eShop shutting down and they wouldn't have bothered otherwise?
@@1Thunderfire I know right? Also asking devs to take their time and anti crunch, but always complains when games get delayed and release dates aren't announced.
@@magnainsomnia Dude thank you for pointing this stuff out. I swear, it feels like gamers are complete hypocrites sometimes. Is it just me or have gamers gotten more and more hypocritical and hate-filled over the years?
@@1Thunderfire The answer is very few people. Only true Nintendo diehards actually cared about the eShop shutting down, but let's be real: the majority of those eShop exclusives no one was going to play to begin with. They only cared about them when the store was announced to shut down.
Nothing can match the pomp and circumstance of a live show. Especially car shows but videogame expos are a close 2nd. Zelda: TotK would've amazed if revealed at a live expo.
I’m not sure how everyone feels about this, but I am more than satisfied with video content like this. Potentially adding some b roll like trailer footage for a topic or something would be valuable but I don’t think facecams are necessary. Maybe that could help some of the tech issues the channel is having.
Such a shame. For most of my life I look forward to E3 every year. I know companies can now do their own presentations whenever they like but there was something exciting about ALL the big gaming names having a scheduled presentation all jammed into the same weekend.
This whole thing about events disappearing made me realize that if I ever had the opportunity to go to a con, I should have. These things don't stick around forever. And I know that's obvious, but it was kind of a wake up call for me when my favourite ontario cons disappeared instantly bc of the pandemic and I'll never be able to experience them again. I'll never get to experience e3 either, which was a thing I was looking forward to as I became an adult but yep, not possible any more. It's even more frustrating to all of us who got destroyed financially by the pandemic too. I can't even afford to go to fanexpo this year. I just hope anyone in a better spot than me takes their opportunities if they have them yknow
The worst part of all this is that these companies will never coordinate their releases anymore. We'll never get back to back conferences from the big three info dumping games like second Christmas...
I only ever watched the Nintendo part of E3 so it’s loss won’t affect me in any way other than no longer having a guaranteed timeframe for a Direct And yet I can’t help but feel just a little bit sad about E3 potentially dying soon
I remember the first time Nintendo decided to not participate in a big E3 presentation and do a Nintendo Direct™️ instead and everyone was doom & glooming it up saying they were going 3rd-party. LMAO
R.I.P. curious to see if they'll try again next year. Feel sorry for those that used E3 for networking. It's been fun, but for me... haven't really been excited for E3 for sometime.
For the viewers like me who only watched from home it is weird because I used to always be excited for it but it dawned on me that companies could always do it online and it is really no different for me. Sad that it is the end of an era but I was never gonna get to go to America, let alone E3 so selfishly this doesn't bother me all that much. Sucks for many others though.
Well... in 2017 Sony had one major announcement and it was a remake. In 2018 they showed no new major games anywhere. In 2019 they showed no new games anywhere. In 2020 they showed some games at the PS5 event. In September 2021 they showed 2 games with CG trailers. In 2022 they showed no new games (LoU Remake is a far cry from new). So I don't think Sony's issue is with E3.
I have fond memories of waking up early and watching gaming Christmas, the hype was always great, especially with Nintendo from 2014-2018. The skits, the ridiculous demos, all that stuff was just great. Summer game fest just isn't the same.
Got a quick take - I’m done with the Geoff Keighley bashing, I don’t think Summer or Winter Games Fest is a replacement for E3, but it’s done a pretty fine job of providing a platform that otherwise clearly wouldn’t be there. He communicates to the fans, welcomes criticism, and has persevered to keep giving us game drops. If Nintendo and the big three played ball with him a little more we’d have some rad Game Fests. But I also understand why ppl might not like him. I don’t think it’s savage to bolster your program when E3 has failed to deliver since 2019. Both events can be super cringe but man at least we have someone trying to keep a twice a year gaming news/reveal event going 🤷♂️
Yeah they're not perfect, but I like the Geoff Keighley stuff. I'm still looking forward to Summer Game Fest and TGA each year. I think last years Game Awards was actually one of the best, and we still at least get some of those goofy E3-like moments like the "rabbi Bill Clinton" stuff or Christopher Judge's incredibly long speech.
Even if I felt like the writing was on the wall for a while now, being that I felt like the past few E3s have pretty much floundered and been quite unremarkable (at least when they weren’t cancelled), it’s still a large shame that this happened. I never got to visit E3 in my lifetime since by the time it finally got opened to the public, I was in college and without a job, and so I didn’t really have a viable means of attending it. And now it looks like I won’t ever get the chance to experience it firsthand. There’s two main reasons why this ended up happening though: the first and most obvious is Nintendo. After showing that they could successfully do their own pre-recorded livestream and announce games without needing to be attached to E3, other companies ended up following suit, with Sony being the first to do so, and now Microsoft. And while Sony hasn’t been at E3 for years, having *NONE* of the big three there made this show feel like it was just pointless from the get-go. And the other reason is that they just failed to adapt to the times. As I said, in the era of Nintendo Directs, E3 failed to incentivize people and especially companies to stick with them, and the “digital” E3 they had in 2021 was a disaster where basically nothing was communicated effectively. And then when they cancelled last year’s show for no discernible reason, it just seemed like trying to beat a dead horse with an owner who has no idea how to use it. So tl;dr, it’s sad to see E3 go, but with the ESA’s incompetence and unwillingness to adapt, it’s not an entirely unexpected outcome either.
Wait one of you guys is Rob Paulson's son? Wow! I'd been a big fan of Rob's work back in the 90s and a few years ago at Las Vegas Unicon, I finally get to meet that man!:)
What about events like Star Wars's celebration or CES? Those events seem to be going strong and can exist in today's digital world? Perhaps E3 could look at these events and try to adapt to their strengths.
Stuff like Star Wars Celebration and Comic Con aren't really game-specific. Like as it concerns E3, the reason it's going by the wayside is that developers and publishers shifted the industry to accommodate, and then realized how inexpensive it would be on their end to just adapt to how online-savvy the gaming audience is now. Stuff like SDCC, D23, Star Wars Celebration, and other stuff of that sort are still very press driven even with more prominent online, consumer-centric components, and they're more about general pop culture rather than a specific niche
How did I not know until this video that Ash is Rob Paulsen's son. I'm sure he gets tired of people recognizing him because of his dad, but hey I now know a cool thing about one of my favorite TH-camrs
I'm honestly not sad about this. I'd already made my peace about E3 dying and just waited confirmation. Not that i don't have amazing memories with E3. I looked forward to it each year. 2019 still one of the best for me for the Banjo smash reveal. But E3 just isn't needed anymore. It did used to be gaming Christmas for us each year. So much magic and exciting times. But now that happens many times throughout the year with different events, Nintendo Directs, State of Plays, Indie Showcases etc. E3 was getting smaller and smaller and less relevant. It's sad to think of E3 like that, but imo it's the most fitting. It's just a sign of the times. That and E3 doxing everyone was NOT cool at all.
I find it rather hilarious that the main reason you have to defend E3's existence in this day and age is to say "We're Americans, and therefore we deserve a convention that's cheap to reach and lets us hang out."
thats not the point, its companies realizing they can Generate their own hype and announcements thru the form of these directs that eventually led to e3 being obsolete it was only a matter of time
Nintendo especially was well prepared. Even before the pandemic I feel Nintendo didn't see E3 the same as others, they changed from stage shows to just a glorified Direct, and then have demos at the event. To the regular people at home this news isn't anything special.
And nobody cried. Nobody needs these anymore. We got Directs for nintendo and... Whatever else comes along the way we will find out through trailers or videos. Times are a changing and we are getting older by the second.
I'm glad it's finally being put down it was a good run I was born in 96 didn't really know about e3 till 2014 but I don't like seeing a dying horse that keeps racing. Goodbye and goodnight sweet prince
Geoff Keighly's Summer Games Fest will never be a replacement for E3, and honestly anything he does is a snooze fest. SGF and TGAs are just glorified extended commercials with terrible pacing and really just a waste of time and human resources. The way Keighly's been throwing salt at E3's cancellation is just really mean. The man is extremely petty, and it seems he has personal vendettas against people in the industry. He always seems to be promoting his connections first while shading anything that he dislikes. I'm glad he's bringing more resources and attention into the gaming landscape but he needs to leave his biases behind to be an industry leader. Rest in peace E3, it's time to put you to rest but you don't deserve the hate you've been getting from certain people like Keighly.
No one really cares about E3 anymore which is kind of sad. Once all the big publishers pulled out I knew it was bad news. Why would Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft need to be at E3 at a press conference and waste money on displays when they can just do their own thing?
But then if Ordinary people CANT come to E3, how are they supposed to see your game? Feel sad for indie developers and the pandemic is OVER so we SHOULD be going back to the way things were like in the 00s.
It’s a shame to lose an event like this. Nintendo direct style streams were always going to take over and are mostly better, but the biggest and best reveals are best in front of a live audience
Sorry that you feel that way but we all knew it was coming. E3 was losing its edge tbh.
Nintendo saw the writing on the wall a decade ahead of time and now the industry has evolved into not needing shows like E3 anymore.
Nintendo will continue to go solo it doesn't need E3.
@Ignochomp99 It doesn't need to do anything like the rest of the industry. That's how they won last generation despite a failed console and their follow up being over three years late compared to the other two.
@@mr.awesome6011 They are the trend makers. Usually not the other way around.
They don't need the Game Awards either...
I mean, they helped bring the demise of it themselves. Do you think E3 would be cancelled if Sony and Nintendo were both having shows?
Honestly I just love hearing stories about E3 from y'all. How Ash and Derrick met is so dang wholesome!

Geoff Keighly's Summer Games Fest will never be a replacement for E3, and honestly anything he does is a snooze fest. SGF and TGAs are just glorified extended commercials with terrible pacing and really just a waste of time and human resources. The way Keighly's been throwing salt at E3's cancellation is just really mean. The man is extremely petty, and it seems he has personal vendettas against people in the industry. He always seems to be promoting his connections first while shading anything that he dislikes. I'm glad he's bringing more resources and attention into the gaming landscape but he needs to leave his biases behind to be an industry leader. Rest in peace E3, it's time to put you to rest but you don't deserve the hate you've been getting from certain people like Keighly.
Again? How many years has it been now?
Last one was in 2021
And nothing of value was lost
Game Over YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
"...and nothing of value was lost."
I’m sure the 5 people cared about this
Did being doxxed have tangible effects for any of you? Just curious because I haven't heard of it amounting to anything.
Uh, guys? Maybe we shouldn't tell Gamer for God... It didn't go well last time...
Good.
Honestly, after the pandemic and the rumors that all 3 big companies won't even show up... E3 is probably finally dead.
Well... time to boycott the Game Awards.
big money flows away from e3.
oh, cancelled in the traditional sense of the word?
While it sucks, it isn’t shocking.
The Excuted Expirating Extinction
Lol
The old channel
Oh no, anyway...
No one really cares about E3 anymore which is kind of sad. Once all the big publishers pulled out I knew it was bad news. Why would Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft need to be at E3 at a press conference and waste money on displays when they can just do their own thing?
Rip E3 you didn't have much value without Nintendo but you still tried o7
rip video games
Wonder why they haven't done it in VR Chat or something with digital booths and such. Like I've seen some furry cons being done there or in Minecraft
But then if Ordinary people CANT come to E3, how are they supposed to see your game? Feel sad for indie developers and the pandemic is OVER so we SHOULD be going back to the way things were like in the 00s.
