Before I says what I want to, let me give you a brief overview of the history of E3. The convention actually started in a small corner of CES showing off such amazing games as Pong and Astroids. Over the years this small corner grew in popularity, expanding and eventually branching out into its own entity. Up until last yearsit sprung out and grew into the monster we all knew and for the most part, loved and desired to be there. Now with E3 going through serious downsizing I have a few hard hitting questions.
1) How will gamespot's (among others) coverage of the event change?
2) Willl this be beneficial or destructive to smaller companies?
I will hope beneficial because n the past small companie's games were simply passed over, in no small part thanks to industry conglomerates like EA and Bungie(I'm not saying thats necessarily a bad thing but the coverage should be spread more evenly due to the new format)
3) Will E3 without all the light and sounds have the same feeling or impact on the indusry that it currently(or should I say did) has?
4) How will this new affect gaming companies( if they didn't already know)?
None of use can truly know how the new format will pan out it seems we will just have to wait until next May.
