Adam Boyes just confirmed it on twitch that the "Annual PSX" comment during the keynote was not a slip, it will be annual event from now on.

So do you think this will motivate Microsoft to have a similar show again? Nintendo? Will this impact the type of announcements we get at E3 (as if they're saving them for their own show where they can better control the messaging)?

 

[Asd202]

Interesting.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

YES! I was hoping it would be since I couldn't go this year! Excellent.

I don't know how much E3 loses if anything, but I would thing Microsoft needs to try to make their own little conference. It's a great thing to do for fans.

 

[Vylash]

it's like right down the street from me so maybe i'll go to the next one

 

[Josh5890]

Nintendo doesn't need a conference. They have Nintendo Directs, Nintendo Minute, and other mediums.

 

[illmatic22]

Cool. I enjoyed it, and seems many others have too.

 

[Wario64]

How many people attended this year?

 

[demosthenes]

This is wonderful.

So glad we have something between GC/TGS and E3 at the back end of the year.

Hope it's as good next year as it was this year.

Nintendo doesn't need a conference. They have Nintendo Directs, Nintendo Minute, and other mediums.

A conference certainly wouldn't hurt them. I imagine the only reason they're not doing them is due to budget reasons.

 

[Fbh]

Cool, all in all it was decent event (and I gives people more than chance every year to hope The Last Guardian isn't cancelled)

 

[thuway]

I hope Sony moves around the cities. Come to Seattle!! !!

No kidding. Not only that, but any serious VGA's from now on, that'd work for them too. This last one was WAAAAY better than PSX. Not even lying.

 

[GarciaHotspur]

Woaow, cool !

 

[RPGamer92]

Having 2 E3s is never a bad thing imo

 

[Acquiescence]

That's great news - E3 during the Christmas period. Hopefully next time there won't be any FFVII-sized cock-ups.

 

[bebop242]

I like this, but hope they chance cities every year

 

[vypek]

Thats pretty cool. Thought it was actually a slip up. Im guessing the anmouncements will definitely be affected. Maybe a couple of them will be saved from E3 for PSX or you can delay an announcement from E3 in case it isnt ready and then announce at PSX instead of next E3

 

[MilesTeg]

Sony does what Nintendid?

 

[aly]

Yes!!!! Maybe I get to go one of these days.

 

[Seven Force]

Great news. Nice to having a gaming focused event between TGS and E3.

 

[Mrbob]

The event looks pretty cool from what I've seen on Twitch. I'll probably plan a trip to Vegas next year to go to it.

 

[Lakitu]

Great news. Maybe we'll get TLG at next year's conference.

 

[ShinMaruku]

I am so glad. I will be trying to go next year.

 

[delSai]

Awesome.

 

[TomShoe]

Excellent. I love how game announcements are more spread out now.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Hopefully every year it's somewhere different...Such as Toronto.

 

[nbnt]

Crash will be 20 in 2016, just saying.

 

[illmatic22]

Sony does what Nintendid?

lol These sort of events have existed for a while.

 

[darkside31337]

I hope they move the location year to year. Would definitely go if it was in Florida. Also would be neat if it was a global type of event with other regions doing a similar thing... although I guess Japan really wouldn't have enough stuff for anything somewhat grand like this.

 

[Agent X]

It's great that this will become an annual event. I believe the success of this show will motivate Microsoft and Nintendo to do something similar.

 

[DieH@rd]

Having 2 E3s is never a bad thing imo

It is important to mention that E3 can be attended only by press and devs. PSX is for general audience.

 

[acklame]

Love it. Hope I can go to the next one!

 

[manzoman96]

Excellent I like looking forward to these kinds of events.

 

[spats]

Maybe they're done with E3?

 

[Holmes]

I hope it's in Vegas again next year because I'll be living in California by then. I'll be much closer.

 

[Averon]

I wonder how this will affect E3. Why fight for attention at E3 when you can have all the attention for yourself?

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Great! Just come to Europe Sony.

 

[Jonboy]

Nintendo doesn't need a conference. They have Nintendo Directs, Nintendo Minute, and other mediums.

Love the directs, but I would love a live Nintendo show for fans even more.

 

[Josh5890]

I like this, but hope they chance cities every year

I think part of it had to do with the Game Awards being in Vegas the night before. I wouldn't mind it coming to the McCormik Center in Chicago.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

With this move I think we're about to see the erosion of E3.

What platform holder wouldn't want a weekend event where the entire gaining industry focuses just on you. Unlike E3 fans can come with little hassle and then checkout all the upcoming games.

Pretty soon it'll be like Blizzard and Blizzcon. Why bother with E3

I expect the others to create something soon.

 

[EmptySpace]

yes. forget e3. this is where it's at. "press" conference isn't relevant anymore. the internet is there, so just make a consumer show like gamescom is.

 

[illmatic22]

It's great that this will become an annual event. I believe the success of this show will motivate Microsoft and Nintendo to do something similar.

I think Nintendo providing information directly to us would be pretty neat.

 

[MavFan619]

I hope Sony moves around the cities. Come to Seattle!! !!

I need this in NY, we get hype out here Sony pls ;_;

 

[jjasper]

Hopefully everyone brings back their yearly shows so Wait till Spaceworld will be a thing again.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

So basically this is Sony's version of a Nintendo Direct? I'm okay with this.

 

[Dinjooh]

I'm so there next year.

Now, to find out how much a ticket from Copenhagen to Las Vegas costs.

 

[Fraxin]

Nintendo already has Nintendo direct, so I don't really think they'll have their own show. Microsoft on the other hand might follow this. Maybe if these events gain alot of momentum and fans start talking about it more, then maybe E3 will start getting weaker by the years. However this needs to develop much further and become the norm for it to replace E3. This gen E3 was not the place where Sony and Microsoft revealed their consoles, so maybe E3 is actually starting to lose its importance by a bit.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Nintendo doesn't need a conference. They have Nintendo Directs, Nintendo Minute, and other mediums.

But anyone can stream. Nintendo doesn't have a physical conference right? That would be way cooler.

 

[WooHooAlex]

Going next year. See you there, GAF.

 

[Josh5890]

Crash will be 20 in 2016, just saying.

Please stop getting my hopes up for Crash

 

[SerTapTap]

Cool. I like Sony's spread-out strategy, and I don't think it's negatively impacted their E3.

I can see MS doing a copy-cat thing, but not Nintendo. Also, for attendees this seems to also be a pretty significant networking event for devs big and small--Sony seems the most relevant to host something like that anyway.
