Bummer for us though, the increased site activity and discussions will be missed. Edited March 11, 2020 by Twinblade Link to post Share on other sites

madmaltese★ 2,701 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Poor MS. The year they had a shot. Link to post Share on other sites
102020393023445948594 2,223 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 So we lose MS's yearly indie reel and multiplats, or they can just host an online show themselves. Nintendo and Sony both technically didn't go last time and we still had an info blitz, directs, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
lynux3 2,245 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 But Remij said E3 will be canceled because of coronavirus and not because of "dwindling support, interest". Link to post Share on other sites

You do realize that Microsoft's event can continue on as normal right? They were not in the convention center, they have their own venue in their theater. They can basically take over E3 now solo, and A LOT of publishers will be looking for a stage. Edited March 11, 2020 by DynamiteCop! Link to post Share on other sites

I hope they continue to run with their show and I'll be interested to see if publishers partake or they do their own reveals as those in the industry have suggested. Link to post Share on other sites

I mean GDC was cancelled, PAX was cancelled, E3 is getting canceled. Microsoft is basically the last large stage hope left for publishers trying to announce new games or broadly show off next-generation experiences. Link to post Share on other sites

The big pubs always have their shows and what not, Sony has a stage when they're ready to announce (whenever the fuck that is) and of course Nintendo has their Directs. There's also GamesCom, but I assume it'll have the same fate as these other shows if COVID-19 is still around in August. Link to post Share on other sites

102020393023445948594 2,223 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 For us in the MustardRace E3 is cancelled every year, as we lack a defining platform, exclusives, or anything of value to gamers I will really miss the Xbox show though Link to post Share on other sites

This year would have went through... if it wasn't for this virus. Then they would have admitted nobody gives a shit anymore. You can't do much when all your exhibitors are pulling out because of the virus Idiot Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,313 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Take a good look at what Remij is having to argue at this point. Oh my god. Link to post Share on other sites
