E3 died in 2018. Peak E3 was probably 2016 with the live orchestra.

These days the closer we get to E3 is when Sony decides to make a showcase because Summer Game Fest plain sucks.

Most of you guys don’t care about this news, but for someone as me who was born in 1994 this is pretty sad news. I guess Sony and Nintendo leaving E3, was the deathblow…
E3 shaped an era which made game announcements back then incredibly exciting.
I will never forget this legendary events, with crowds being on fire. Damn this were really wholesome memories. Thank you for all this precious memories E3. 🙏🏻

End of an era.

Each publisher now do their own shows, get to take as much time they want and show off how they want to. The showcases are more spread out instead of being this intense couple of days of news and trailers.

State of Plays and PlayStation showcases are the way to go. I wish Sony did a monthly State of Play, to announce the PS+ games and show trailers and dev talks, I stead of this irregular schedules.

There were some amazing and fun moments at E3, I just wish I could have gone to one in person before the decline, but Sony and Nintendo leaving was the beginning of the end.

The decline of E3 also sucks in that it forced publishers like Sony and Nintendo to be more consistent/reliable in revealing new games.

E3 definitely had its amazing and memorable moments. But since everyone these days prefer to do their own showcases they no longer need to be at E3 to do show their games off and especially since Covid happened

I keep telling Sony will make a keynote. People will even be invited to go to the cinema to watch it.

Damn. That's when we would've seen announcements on Metal Gear Solid 3, Castlevania, and potentially Silent Hill: The Short Message according to Video Games Chronicle.

I hope Konami does their own digital event, instead of delaying everything.

They'll either do their own livestream or announce their games on someone else's stream.

Damn I wish Sony to held another Playstation Experience in 2023! Playstation Exp should return, these were always legendary events.
This is a filled trademark renewal from 2021 before Activision Blizzard heated up. 👀

PlayStation E3 2015 was quite the rush I remember : The Last Guardian re-reveal, FF7 Remake reveal, Horizon Zero Dawn reveal, Shenmue 3 reveal
