Can We Acknowledge How Extra Some of the E3 Crowds Were This Year

At least they are better than the Nintendo audience, they are dead silent every year they could at least clap or something.
Live conferences has it's moments but more often than it's just awful.
Moving away from live conferences we will now and then miss the epic reveals like Keanu. That was legit awesome.
But we gain so much more
No forced speaches, no PR talk, no gibberish, no live music or sport stars, no cars on stage, no people getting laughed at, no cringe, no forced applauds, trimmed down shows, no changing venues in the middle of shows and so on.
I hope we go away from it, more directs, more state of plays for the people!

It's all part of the silly fun of E3 maybe everyone should sit in complete silence.
Guarantee you the reaction on here would be lol no one even cheered. How embarrassing.
Yeah the cheering can be obnoxious but its hilarious getting this upset about it. Says more about you than the dolts in the crowd.
I often wonder what a games conference full of resetera users in the crowd would be like? Anyone whooing would be side eyed. Clapping kept to 5 secs only and not too loud. Cheering banned outright.
Everyone would probably cringe at others cringing at them cringing because they're cringing.
Loosen the hell up. Some of you guys come across as so pompous. It's a game show in the US loud cheering for no reason is in the DNA here.

Aren't the most in the front rows own workers, which are payed to scream and clap at every bs? Just look at M$ Pk, it's the same.
It wasn't just one dude lol. Every "yeeeeaaahhhh" was responded to by an equally as annoying "woooooaaaaaahhh". It was like listening to a mating call. Shit could have chased Howler Monkeys out of the god damn rainforest 😆
Me and my buddy were just talking about this earlier. I know general public isn't allowed into the presentations. So it boils down to supportive media (placing enthusiastic media channels in key locations). Family or staff. Or possibly twitch/YouTube/influencers?
Honestly I would be like that given how perfect ff7 presentation was
I've only managed to watch MS, Bethesda and Ubi but the presenters have been constantly interrupted several times in every show. I mean these are their venues but I'd personally build a little more distance between the people and the stage. It's hard enough to talk in front of people for many but if that's what they aim for then E3 2020 should become the ultimate year of yeah-woos.
7 pages of outraged people because someone got excited during E3
7 pages of people noticing astro turfed conferences and commenting on that.
Yeah.
Honestly, even though it's kind of corny, the people shouting things in the crowd made it more fun to watch. Surprised to see so much negativity in this thread, but then again, I shouldn't be. Bethesda show was bad though, lol, so there's something fishy there. But I enjoyed the SE presentation and Microsoft's as well. I think crowd reactions are fine. I mean, otherwise you're just sitting there watching businessmen and businesswomen stand on stage and spout cringy lines anyway.
The guy at Bethesda's conference, with his non-stop "wooo! Yeah!" was paid. He cannot be real. He must have been paid.
Did that one guy at the Bethesda showcase get old annoying after the third time? Sure. But on the bright side shouts like that created some good moments and generally gave the speaker/presenter some space to be a bit more humane in between scripted (sometimes boring) speeches.
I totally agree. I didn't feel like the Microsoft conference was as bad and the whole Keanu Reeves reaction was 100% genuine - but when it came to the Bethesda conference...
I actually expected it before the conference even started. I said to myself that the audience would probably be filled with plant/paid attendees, an overabundance of the developer's family and friends, or a bit of both, specifically so that the conference would appear to go over well in light of the egregious Fallout 76 debacles. I also figured that Todd Howard would make light of that whole situation and also the situation with the canvas bags would be avoided entirely.
I was right on all counts.
The ridiculously fake, canned, embarrassingly cringe-worthy manufactured excitement for every little thing announced was too much to bear and I had to leave the room for the remainder of the conference around the halfway point.

Some of you speak like you never get out of your house, you realize that?
It's live events. About games. People are supposed to be excited.
At least they're expressing positivity, unlike a lot of people who watch conferences from their armchair with a side tab open to spew cinicism, negativity and fanboyism on forums and chats at a rate of several posts a minute. Only to move on to chastise live crowds they're not part of when they're done flinging shit at games they haven't played.

I mean, you have a Dutch reporter saying the people in front of them constantly screaming were Bethesda employees who were told to hide their badges before being on camera. So yeah, there it is.
I think it all went south after the "You're breathtaking" thing with CDPR. Giving free stuff for yelling is a dangerous precedent, lol
Wait, what... this counts as onanism, then

Spoken like an old person who thinks everything revolves around them. I'm pretty sure the people who came up with this didn't have any shits to give about whether it'd piss off old people or not. They just liked how it sounded or felt that it met a linguistic need they had. Language evolves, language mutates. It's normal.
Guarantee you the shouters are employees tasked with keeping the excitement levels up... I've done the very same job myself.
The cringey part of the Square Enix presentation was Avengers to me. With pausing for applause everytime a character was named (characters that had literally just been seen so the crowd already knew they were in the game) and applause going on way too long.
He wasn't
This might blow everyones mind but Bethesda has a lot of crazy fans and E3 is a hype show that allowed fans to go to the conferences
The Avengers section in SE conference was particularly bad, you can barely hear the damn trailer
Wasn't it the Xbox One initial reveal in that tent thing where the employees/plants were going bananas, cheering everything, and the press were tweeting out how embarrassing it was given the gobshite being announced and that it was coming from the back of the room, not them.
I don't think people are denying the right to be excited. But if you are getting excited by the tiniest of things then where do you go for the actual excitement-worthy things?
What? I'm not outraged. Seems par for the course. It was just especially over the top this year.
Hard to believe. Even the crowd at blizzcon had more self awareness.
This is Era; you're either outraged or 11/10 excited. There's nothing in between.
