E3 2021 General Discussion, Schedule, & Motobug @ E3 - SSMB's Exclusive E3 Stream - E3 starts on June 10th

[Ryannumber1gamer]

Back after a year's hiatus, E3 is here once again! With the current state of the world, this year's event is all digitally, and will prove to be pretty different compared to what we're usually used to. A lot of companies are hosting digital showcases for their games, but as usual - there's a lot of games to be showcased, and a lot of different events.

This topic not only serves as a general discussion for E3, but it's also a schedule for the events, as well as hosting Motobug's usual E3 streams, providing a stream for SSMB members to watch the shows live together!

Capcom have announced the timing of their E3 show.

Oh please let Capcom announce a Zombot game. After everything they've done with Resident Evil... I think they'd kill it.

So I see people are discussing if E3 was worth bringing back, and wanted to throw in my two cents. Honestly, my thoughts on E3 have been pretty consistent I like to think. I personally wouldn’t care if it just dropped dead tbh, the ESA is shit, and E3 being the giant commercial it is exists to hype up and drive pre orders and make promises that inevitably aren’t kept. I’d take these companies doing individual events themselves (like most did last year), or just straight up press statements if it meant avoiding the unreasonable expectations set by both the gaming community and shareholders, and allowed for more genuine, honest announcements that could be discussed when the products are ready to be showed off. Like they’re still glorified commercials we get excited over sure, but at least the expectations would be at least a bit more tame
