I was expecting some sort of business area like the one at Gamescom, where press could get appointments outside of the crowded public areas. This way it looks like every booth will host both the public and press, doesn't look to good for journos rushing from one meeting to the other.
Wonder if MS will have scorpions backstage at their conference and so they won't have them on the showfloor?
I find it funny Naughty America is there let alone near Nintendo. Lol.

They're going to do a Digital Event again I feel. Also, 2015 was very bad, but for 2016 it was good for Zelda, even though that's all they really had.Can't wait to see what Nintendo's got now they're in a post-Wii U, post-BotW world. The last two E3s for them have been very lackluster in terms of brand new announcements.
Look at all the crash bandicoot real estateAlso, Activision is back then I guess?
Gotta show off that Destiny 2 goodness.Also, Activision is back then I guess?

They are probably placing all their bets on Scorpio, lol.I know it sounds like I'm rushing into conclusions but with all the cancellations, lack of exclusives, lack if games in general (third party as well) compared to the competition and now this tiny booth... it kinda gives the impression that MS just don't care as much about this market anymore, it's like the gaming division budget was cut off significantly :/
Microsoft's main booth last year (4100) was 27329,23 sq ft. Microsoft's booth this year, 1601, is 15000 sq ft. So the booth this year is around 55% of that which they had last year. Even less if you cound the extra smaller booth, 4000, they had; that was 600 sq ft.So MS Booth is roughly half now? Down from 30k to 15k?
No Konami?
Sega and Atlus must be showing Kiwami and 13th Sentinel.

It is possible that MS will have an event outside E3 (like EA)week to let more of the public get hands on Scorpio

One game this absolutely needs this year is Dying Light 2. I need a new one ASAP. Techland cmooon.
Agreed. Size isn't everything, you guys.
Agreed. Hoping it shows up.
Just contact their respective media departments, at least to begin with. Microsoft and Ubisoft are usually quite helpful regarding E3 and media briefings, Sony has been a bit trickier in the past but shouldn't be too difficult to persuade.I'm goin there... My dream has come true... My bucket list has shortened.
Business pass as well. Now to find out how to attend the conferences.. At least Xbox, PS, and Ubi.
Kinda worried with how small the Microsoft booth is. Maybe they have some other stuff planned in terms of public showings.

Now they'll be riding the wave of the Switch. We're guaranteed to see SMO there. Retros game should be there for sure.
Yeah, 2016 was good but we knew about Zelda already. 2015 was an E3 dedicated to filler games and weird side projects. It'll be great to finally gave annother Nintendo E3 where they might have some great new stuff to announce.
As for it being Digital, 2014's was hype af and 2015's presentation was great as well. I don't care if it's not on stage.
Sony going bigger while MS going smaller. I was really expecting the opposite with the Scorpio announcement...
oh my god
