Well I guess this tells us one thing that Keighly is doing. Do they have the cities announced yet?

 

[BY2K]

Well, there it is.

 

[BronsonLee]

Well I guess this tells us one thing that Keighly is doing. Do they have the cities announced yet?

Not yet, but they said theaters in every state and some in Canada.

Also, cool. I liked this last year. Would love to go again!

 

[Penguin]

Noice

Was fun last year

 

[AHA-Lambda]

oh come on, why US and Canada only again??!

 

[illmatic22]

Big screen for lame ass indie "games" pfft

 

[Zombie James]

Had a pretty good time last year and can't really argue with free swag and PSN credit. Announcing tickets a week in advance, though... I imagine lots of refreshing, 404s, and disappointment.

 

[Trago]

Had a lot of fun last year. Our theater's stream started choking in the beginning, I hope it's smooth all the way through this time.

 

[Penguin]

oh come on, why US and Canada only again??!

I assume for most others its the middle of the night or super early in the morning.

 

[TheNAC]

Why doesn't it say what theaters?

 

[Newtype-001]

Big screen for lame ass indie "games" pfft

The bait is strong.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I still dont get how this type of thing is fun.

 

[BY2K]

oh come on, why US and Canada only again??!

I don't think Theaters are opened at 2AM in Europe.

Unless you meant South America?

 

[Kinsei]

Across Canada huh? Maybe this year they'll actually have it in more than two cities.

 

[Americanmushroom]

oh come on, why US and Canada only again??!

Gaf and complaining, its a love story. I'm european myself but I totally understand how hard and annoying it would be for Sony to organize this thing worldwide. Also 2am lol

 

[Trago]

I still dont get how this type of thing is fun.

You're with fellow PlayStation fans watching world premieres and announcements live. Everyone reacting and getting hyped is worth it.

 

[Kriken]

List of theaters from last year for those curious

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014...ress-conference-in-movie-theaters-nationwide/

EDIT: I really regret posting this the way I did. FOR CLARITY, these are the theaters from LAST YEAR, I posted this for those who forgot which ones were last year as I suspect the theaters this year will include most, if not all from last year and more

 

[thuway]

So how do we go about ordering them again?

 

[Faustek]

Wonder what people have against indies.
It's not like they are forced to buy them or are they just stupid and feel like third party indies in some magical way have the power to force Sony to not make any games for themselves?

Nah, here's me hoping more indies can fill the middle tier before the whole industry dies in a service based rehash of CoD and Fifa*.


*= No idea about the subtle differences FPS/Sport Sim people talk about, just know it would be hella boring with just them around.

 

[Maroon Gamer]

Awesome, moving to USA confirmed.

 

[GarciaHotspur]

Watching The Last Guardian on big screen will be amazing !

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Fuck yea.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Wasn't the gift last time a poster?

But nah, I'll watch from home.

 

[BronsonLee]

So how do we go about ordering them again?

IIRC, it was just an Eventbrite sign up page or some such last time. Relatively smooth.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Interesting that they're offering this but I'd prefer watching from the comfort of my home

 

[BHK3]

What was the free cool stuff last year?

 

[Americanmushroom]

Big screen for lame ass indie "games" pfft

You want to get banned so close to E3? Or is this a joke trolling?

 

[thuway]

I really want to go and am currently going through paranoia that the site will crash and I won't get the tickets .

What was the free cool stuff last year?

Destiny beta codes?

 

[Trago]

Watching The Last Guardian on big screen will be amazing !

IF it's there.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

What was the free cool stuff last year?

Wasnt that Destiny ALPHA access?

 

[Mumford]

Oh man, so tickets are free, but first come first serve? That's crazy, but I'd love to find a way to go to this this year. Based on last year, what's the best way to snag tickets knowing that the most likely place to have a showing of this is a few hours away?

Edit: I read more, seems like it'll be pretty easy to snag this up on time. Awesome.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Booming, orchestral version of The Bombing Mission that plays through the THX surround-sound when FFVII Remake is shown will surely blow people away! Choochoooooo!

 

[Noisepurge]

sony continuing to hate european markets confirmed! :E

(i would still go to my local theater at 4AM)

 

[BadWolf]

Watching The Last Guardian on big screen will be amazing !

Will probably be a lot of tears and hugging if TLG get's revealed, ya'll better watch whom you sit next to.

 

[Penguin]

What was the free cool stuff last year?

A double-sided poster

Access to the Battlefield Hardline and Destiny Beta

I believe $5 PSN monies

And something with their music streaming service

 

[Nzyme32]

Didn't Geoff Keighley do the PS Experience show? Should that be expected again perhaps

 

[BronsonLee]

What was the free cool stuff last year?

IIRC...

Battlefield Hardline Beta
Destiny Alpha
5$ PSN
Music Unlimited Free Month
E3 Poster

 

[Americanmushroom]

I still dont get how this type of thing is fun.

no funn allowed.jpg.

A huge screen to see the new trailers and new gameplay maybe ? Whats the point of going to see a movie in the theater then..?

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Sony is so smart the only way to experience 90 minutes of Powers is on the big screen.

 

[OneUh8]

Hell yeah.

 

[Rymuth]

Much excite.

Will watch.

 

[Kinsei]

I still dont get how this type of thing is fun.

Do you enjoy posting your or seeing others reaction sto stuff on GAF, chat rooms, youtube, etc? It's that but in person.

 

[bombshell]

Yes, he's the one credited for the blog post: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/05/21/experience-e3-2015-live-in-theaters-on-june-15th/

Posted by Geoff Keighley on May 21, 2015 // Host, Producer

Whenever I interact with the PlayStation community I’m always struck by their passion and excitement for gaming. I saw this firsthand at E3 2014, when I teamed up with PlayStation and Fathom Events to bring the E3 Press Conference live to over 10,000 fans around the country as part of the PlayStation E3 Experience in movie theaters. It was amazing to see fans line up all across America to experience the news and announcements live with others in the community.

This year I’m happy to announce that the PlayStation E3 Experience will return on Monday, June 15. Due to the quick sell-outs in 2014, we will be staging it in significantly more theaters — and yes, it will still be free. Last year tickets in most markets sold out in 15 minutes or less, so for 2015 we are increasing the number of theaters by more than 150%, with at least one theater in every state across the US — including Hawaii and Alaska — plus 3 cities in Canada.

You and fellow members of the PlayStation community will get to see the full PlayStation E3 press conference in HD on the big screen, plus there are special bonuses for those who come out to the theater experience. I’ll be hosting an exclusive 30-minute in-theater post show with extended footage and interviews with developers, and everyone who attends will take home a PlayStation surprise, which will consist of PlayStation goods and digital codes we can’t disclose yet. (Last year attendees received early access to the Destiny Alpha and Battlefield: Hardline beta, along with a great poster and VIP laminate).

To make it fair to everyone in the community, this year we are giving you advance notice of ticket sales. Free tickets will be made available on Wednesday, May 27 starting at 9:00 a.m. PT at playstation.com/e3experience. Eighty percent of theater capacity will be reserved for ticket holders, with 20% of the theater held for those on the wait list, who will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis. We saw the big lines last year and want to make sure that everyone has a fair chance to be in the theater.

The PlayStation.Blog guys also tell me that their big PlayStation LiveCast show will be back again in a big way, kicking off with the PlayStation Press Conference on June 15th, starting at 5:45 p.m. Pacific Time. They’ll have plenty of game demos, new trailers, and developer interviews over the next three days – and you’ll be able to watch on your PS4 or PS3 using the Live Events Viewer app, too. Stay tuned for more details.

I can do all that in the comfort of my own home. It's like going to the cinema, just to watch trailers, or random adverts... why... just why....

 

[Zombie James]

IIRC...

Battlefield Hardline Beta
Destiny Alpha

E3 Poster

At the theater I was at they were also giving out wristbands, lanyards, and t-shirts.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

I still dont get how this type of thing is fun.

Yeaaah. I mean, in theory, it sounds cool. In execution though. I dunno.

 

[BronsonLee]

At the theater I was at they were also giving out wristbands, lanyards, and t-shirts.

Ooh, very cool. I got the lanyard, not the other stuff, though!

 

[Trago]

I still have most of the swag from last year, including the VIP badge. I hope we get a bigger poster this year.
