E3 is over once again. And we want our old E3 back!

First off, I hated the look of the new show floors. I don’t care what press BS people are claiming, it was not the same. I’ve been to E3, I know the show floor is a loud crazy mind fuck, and I loved that about it.

First off, someone PLEASE tell G4 that their coverage was the biggest pile of ass on the planet! They cut to commericals during important videos and whatnot during the Press Conferences. They had commercials on top of commercials on top of commercials. And they had 1 part of content for every 20 parts of shit and talking about nonsense.

If you fastforwarded thru them babbling, the commercials, and anything not actually divulging any new info from their 3 days of E3 coverage, you’d get… 45 minutes of actual content. Content you could have just DLed from a website like IGN.

Next, I’d like to complain about E3 itself. What the fuck happened? I mean, sure, it had gotten huge and “out of control” as some might say. But the problem was not the show, it was how the show was handled. If they put more effort into keeping true press in and avg joes out, it would not have gotten that way. And again, I repeat that I personally LIKED the loud noise, the bright lights, the booth babes, etc.

I understand next year’s E3 is going to be no longer in LA. We tried this already, anyone remember Hotlanta and how hot as hell it was for E3?

I am disappointed. I mean, I knew it was happening, this revamp, this evil rebuild of something wonderful. But I was shocked by it when I finally saw it. 11 different locations? Having 5 or 6 giant rooms in one building was already a pain. Are you TRYING to drive away the press? Seriously?

Maybe part of my letdown was due to the general letdown vibe of the big 3 press conferences. No one really blew us away. The WiiFit and Zapper were a big snooze for me, the Sony “Price Drops” that were actually “Product Clearance” were a bust once I found out what their real purpose was, and Halo3 was not presented in a manner that made me go “WOW I NEED THAT NOW!” Sure, I am looking forward to H3, but not as much as Bioshock, Too Human, Mass Effect, or Barbie Horse Adventures.

Press Conf wise, I was left thinking a few games were good looking and there was nothing spectacular hardwarewise. The redesigned PSP with it’s video out is a great idea, where the fuck was the camera? Slot loading UMD?

And where the fuck was the beef?

How did I feel after E3 was over? The same way I felt when I didn’t get my Hungry Hungry Hippos.
