I just saw an ad on G4TV for a show called E3 Live....It on May 16 at 7PM eastern, I believe....that would be a tape delay so I guess "E3 Live" is just a relative term


At any rate, I just caught a little bit of the ad and thought I would give you guys the heads up...

 

[Wario64]

now to hope that satterfield and the rest of the crew listened to our bitching and giving us what we want

 

[civilstrife]

Could it be? Something intelligent from G4?

nah... they'll probably just showcase the boothbabes.

 

[sprsk]

finally they get something right.

i hope they will be covering all the big confrences.

 

[Kleegamefan]

Well, I will tivo it for 'yall just incase there are some good next-gen tidbits here and there

Nothing beats the GAF play-by-play E3 Posts in the forum, though :lol

Indeed.

I will be very surprised if G4's E3 show is anything more than just starring at boothbabes for it's entirety.

The Monday thing is the preshow, which will indeed be pretaped. Tuesday night will be a live press conference recap from the show floor. Wednesday through Friday will be two hours live from the show floor per day.

Hmmm...watch a pretaped G4 thing or watch live streaming versions of the Sony and MS press conferences. How does one decide?

SCEA conference is at 3:00pm PST and the MS one is at 6:45pm PST.

 

[MattKeil]

Well, you'll never see them live on TV, so streaming webcasts are the only choice for up-to-the-second press conference coverage. The recap show will have far better video quality, though.

 

[Wario64]

i'd imagine you guys are gonna chop up the conferences or else they'd be like over 2-3 hours long

Correct. Most of the downtime and such will be removed. It will be a highlight reel. So if you want to see the full length version of this year's Sony Powerpoint presentation about how the console wars are over (again), catch the webcast.

They'll probably change their tune slightly and talk about how the handheld wars are over. That should keep me conscious for a few more minutes.

Heh, I remember watching Nintendo's and some of Microsoft's press conference live on TechTV in 2001. Interesting how now that they've been absorbed into an actual gaming-focused channel that isn't the case.

 

[Bishman]

Cool. First time I will be watching E3 on my TV.

 

[Kamtendo]

I was so glad to hear about this. It's great for me since I'm on dial-up, and it'll take me days of downloading to get what I want. The Nintendo conference will be must-see TV for me. Looking forward to Microsoft's as well. This is gonna be one hell of an E3 this year.

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

Meh, their coverage sucked last year.

 

[Akia]

That's going to be annoying. Commericals will come and make you wait for more footage.

Webcast for me!

 

[AstroLad]

This better not be pre-empting The Whip Set.

 

[IJoel]

Good stuff.

 

[Brandon F]

Will have to tivo this.

What, you mean you don't see how the import tuner culture relates directly to gaming? Jeez man, get with it, people with slanted eyes love to play PS2 in their 14.5 second Civics... /sarcasm/

E3 2005 live from the L.A convention center. Hosted by:

Keep it real you bitches :lol :lol

Don't get to the shows anymore KLEE?? Too bad. This one should be quite nice

:lol :lol

I was really excited to hear about the ammount of coverage they are giving this year. Last year it was basically just took all the E3 content and spread in out over the summer. :-\

 

[MattKeil]

Yeah, 2001 was kind of the year we learned the hard way that live TV coverage of the E3 press conferences isn't worth the money or effort required. I think webcasts will be the only option for some time yet, unless one of the big guys like CNN starts doing it.

Yup! The Whip Set needs the ad money to bail the host out of jail the next time he gets caught street racing in Phoenix. :lol
