So no cringe compilation this year?
They never did it at E3. (besides Threehouse segments of course)

So what could Microsoft show off for EA then? I mean I already expect a ton of third party games from their conference.
The new Star Wars game?

EA hasn't been at E3 for the last three years.
Behtesda not doing a conference is probably 50/50 right now for me.
Yeah, the last EA press conference that vaguely impressed me was E3 2013 with Star Wars Battlefront and Mirror's Edge (in hindsight, it's obvious that they just wanted to get the announcements out there ASAP before the gen began since it would be another 2 years before we would see gameplay from either of those games). Since then though, it's literally been the same old shit.
lol. The conference and more gameplay part are not mutually exclusive, EA. But I guess you have to give up at some points when all of the EA Play were underwhelming.
Wow! Even EA are ripping off Nintendo now!?
Guess they want in on that Unprecedented Partnership after all!

EA hasn't had a decent press conference there in years, I'm hardly surprised. They just don't have anything interesting to show anymore.
Yeah, I think we're seeing the end of E3. At least, the end of the traditional E3 as we've known it.
I'm sure they'll at least try to adapt to the big players taking their big keynotes elsewhere by changing the format of the show moving forward. Maybe they'll focus more on smaller companies next year, who knows.
Bethesda has DOOM Eternal and maybe a Starfield release date. That sounds exciting enough.
For sure, they definitely have to change the format and adapt to the changing landscape we're seeing with entertainment in general.
Honestly it might be time for E3 to change to a fan-only event, or die entirely. The internet has changed everything and waiting until June to fight for attention against the entire industry isn't a good move anymore.
EA could drop an announcement for a great game on a random Tuesday and they'd get more attention than they'd get at E3.

I mean if Star Wars gets a deep dive at the Disney thing that's probably their biggest non sports release for a while. Aside from that it's PVZ and Need for speed but those don't warrant having a whole conference
I doubt we'll see Starfield this year. In 2020 I can 100% see them reveal it.
I'll be honest even though their conferences were never entertaining I still enjoyed them as part of the E3 watching experience. With more and more companies dropping their conferences I'm pretty worried this E3 is gonna end up being underwhelming for someone watching at home :/
Doom yes. Starfield though?
No way.
MAYBE a new trailer. But a release date? No way in hell. Thats for the next gen consoles. Bethesda ain't gonna say anything.
Sony has successfully killed of E3. They're the leader right now and everybody else is following.
We're not going to get any mobile phone games and half arsed announcements so early on that we don't even get a proper trailer? Aww.
EA hasn't had a good E3 since that one conference that ended on Mirror's Edge Catalyst, and that was a long ass time ago. This is a good thing to be fair. Their pressers appeased no one but the stockholders.
I mean, what would their conference even be at this point? Updates on coming content for Apex and Anthem, plus FIFA and Madden? They've got the Star Wars thing, but it seems like Disney wants the big reveal on that.
Removed "E3" from the press conference line in the thread title for clear clarity of what it means.
Nothing of value lost, EA as a publisher simply doesn't have the exciting brand new content to fill a press conference. I know there's plenty of people who enjoy EA's regular games such as FIFA, Madden, Need for Speed, Battlefield etc. but due to a lack of brand new stuff it basically feels like you're watching the same press conference every year.
It's not really. Microsoft is going to have a great E3, if not one of the best ever
Pretty much. The sports stuff they can do on a stream and PVZ can show up at Microsoft's show. They don't have as many heavy hitting things this year
Not remotely true. Aside from this not even being an E3 conference in the first place, they are hugely shit on every year.
And Sony will be back at E3 next year.
Since Sony wont be there this year, you guys think Nintendo could take spot and do their presentation Monday night?
Not a major loss, I can't think of any E3 show EA had of quality outside the one where Mirrors Edge 2 was revealed. Overall they can just do their event and have reveals with MS. It was always redundant seeing stuff like Anthem or Battlefield on both stages in such a large form.
That's absolutely fine, last year's conference had some interesting indie games and that was about it really.
