are they showing at the Microsoft conference?
But who knows what'll happen...
Yeah, I find that shit lame, but there's an audience who knows who those people are. That said, for as much people apparently cared about "ethics in games journalism," all I took out of this event was "Why would anyone trust anything that comes out of these people's mouths in regards to EA games or any other for that matter"

It will be at Sony's presser.
It's a Sony marketing deal, so no chance. Maybe on Monday.
EA gonna EA

Probably gonna be at the Sony Press conference, they did that in 2015 with Battlefront 1. Had a MP demo at EAs then a CO-OP demo at Sony's.
practically any time anyone talked, the show would be better if no one was talking.

Somehow I didn't realize Microsoft was having their conference tomorrow, on Sunday, until they mentioned it at the end. That's weird. I'm used to Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, Sony.
Sony has marketing, so I assume SP will be shown at their conference.

Man...I'm only 28 but I feel so old. I can't be that out of touch...I was there to ride the first wave of Let's Plays. It just feels so weird seeing these companies lean so hard into the whole influencers angle :S

Lol that's beautiful. Not even good enough to bullshit on your own, it has to be scripted bullshit.
"Like the rest of us".. not really; cynicism is easy. Optimism takes effort. My complaints about Battlefront seem to be largely solved by BF2. I don't care much for NFS but that co-op prison break game could be awesome. I'm going to play the old man card, at 37 I've seen a lot of games and by and large they look pretty amazing in 2017.
Based on that hot commentary...sounds about right to me.
I didn't think anyone would take my post literally haha. I'm kidding.

gotcha, I just felt a lot of negativity, which is fine but I guess I like to be optimistic.it was great just seeing a floating head in the corner of the screen for most of the conference

Yep. Seemed ahead of the other streams, too. I'll be sticking with it.

It kept randomly pausing or stuttering for me, but when not doing that it was great quality.

I had a lot of weird pauses in Mixer as well, but I was on my laptop and I've always had bad luck with the site in OSX.
Was only sorta half-watching since not much was interesting to me from EA. Only other things I'll be able to watch live are Microsoft and Sony, which is unfortunate. Similarly, won't be able to catch most of the nightly shows. But I'll be looking forward to catching up later, at least.
I am hoping Abby gets to sit on one or two of the panels, though, cause I'd really like to see more of the new folks. Like, I'm younger than Ben but don't watch a lot of Twitch streams and such so it's cool that he's able to bring some knowledge of that stuff to the table.

Hopefully no one leaves this year? Waypoint's great and I'm super happy for Austin but it's weird to vaguely fear the end of E3/GOTY stuff now?
Just realised that they managed to play Battlefront continuously without the server dropping them back to the menu for longer than nearly any session I had when I first played the original on X1.
Snark aside it looks lovely, and one thing that the prequels did not suffer from was sloppy design which really helps. I was given the last one as Christmas present since I didn't buy it for myself due to lack of a campaign. I'll keep an eye out for impressions/reviews as I am interested purely because it's a AAA Star Wars effort with a single-player campaign.
Looking forward to see what Bioware have produced. Teaser seems to be up my alley for atmosphere.
The prison game (Way Out?) looks really interesting, but suspect I'll never get to play it the way the dev intends as my friends are COD/Ghost Recon type gamers. Hopefully the BEAST crew are coming up with a series name already for the play through.
Other than FIFA which I'll pick up on Switch unless they completely phone it in, it was a very typical EA conference for me as outside of ME or DA I'm not their target market. Hopefully those that are found something to excite them.

I hope dan has this camera angle all of e3
Exactly the same. Every now and then I peak my head out from GB content and just think it all looks kind of gross.

I don't understand how you can be into GB and not at least understand where this twitch streamer stuff comes from. Like, they sort of were on the ground floor of getting people to watch them play games. It's now just blown up and become monetized and raided like everything eventually does.

It's a near-decade old joke
But who knows what'll happen...
That feel, when no dank in the EA presser.

I think that was the point. To get audiences from other games onto theirs. That is the reason people hire/book "influencers", to get those millions of eyeballs they "influence" onto your product.

I get enjoying watching people play video games, it's just the type of people who seem to be super popular is what I feel so out of touch with. I never would have liked the screaming and shouting bull shit streamers when I was younger. I also prefer GB's way of doing things where they're mostly detached from their audience, and just do their thing. Anytime I've taken a look at some streamer, most of the time they're just thanking people for subscribing over and over, or commenting on some random person in the chat. Just play the damn game I keep thinking.

Hey you don't have to convince me, but at it's core it's all the same thing is what I'm saying. Watching people play games because you like their personalities.
That is the point
but it never works for them. They can never hold it, they've tried dozens of times before. Their only successful streaming game is FIFA
It the same as using celebrities to talk about product or things they know nothing about. Like for the need for speed thing, no one is going to stream that.

Yeah it probably won't work but I can't fault them for trying.
