Still convinced video games aren't dead ?

the fuck is an influencer?

an e-celeb who is paid to shill
Ninja, Collider, Rooster Teeth, etc

Fancy word for blogger

This is the dumbest shit I've ever fucking read. E3 is not open to the public you shouldn't worry about what Millennials and Gen Z think the point is to woo your investors, and retailers with a bonus of showing the game off to the public. The reason E3 is in the shitter now is because they've forgotten this.

It's not nintendo that proudly announced an interactive movie for their system this summer

I work in advertising and do not believe for one second that anyone seriously put the word "chits" in their fucking deck

it's a celebrity that keep saying how much he likes to consume a product, and that accept money to pretend your shit has been part of his life since his childhood.

Ninja

Hey don't forget it can also mean a teenager or child under the age of 18 that is whored out by their parents. Often by posting half naked pictures of themselves on Instagram.

>gender quality, STEM
>E3 relevant
Yes nothing says video games like women completing useless degrees stating how totally smart they are.

>E3 relevant social good efforts (e.g. gender equality, STEM)
Why are they flushing their brand down the toilet like this?

Nintendo has a similar problem, wherein they prefer flashy cinematic games over all else. Look at Astral Chain and Xenoblade for example.

someone with a lot of social media followers. they pay them to take pictures with their crap and shill it.

Only three of Astral Chain's missions are really cinematic in any way though. The tutorial stage, the second stage, and the last stage. And all three balance it out with a good amount of gameplay.

there's half naked picture of Ryan?

sounds pretty based honestly

i havent been hearing much about ninja ever since he left twitch.

I wonder if it was an intern who had to write up those points or if it was an out of touch market researcher who doesn't understand why people watch E3 in the first place.

Video games dies when publishers shifted from quality products to maximizing profits, right around the time of the original Xbox era

booth babes were just decoration, though, they're not really similar

Sony did the right thing fleeing that sinking ship

>every single year E3 becomes a massively lampooned event with tons of people who are just hired to hype things up or are average nerdy devs with low charisma forced to go on stage being made fun of en masse through cringe compilations and memes
>everybody, even the normies, have caught on to downgrades and scoff at any hard work put on screen as just smoke and mirrors
>any chance of genuine enthusiasm from the crowd is met with accusations of paid off audience members
>the majority of the games that are big revenue generators are the type that are bought by ultra normies that don’t watch these kinds of things anyway and just buy the next year edition of the game
Fairly granted, some of these things are the fault of the publishers themselves, but at this point it absolutely makes sense from a business perspective to not waste your money and time reserving a spot just to invite people to make fun of you

the last e3 I watched was the 2015 one. and before that the 2010 shitshow. E3 have always been a meme

I garantee you they have no idea about how to make this work, and even less any sort of contacts to fill those "influencer" slots they want.

Why is this happening? :(

People are really easy to manipulate. Pushing guilt, and feigning victimhood are just two really, really effective methods.

I don't know why anyone ever paid attention to E3 unless they were hotly anticipating new info about something they already knew about.

it makes sense if you consider that all stream only events arent part of E3, so in reality E3 is already EA, Ubisoft and the PC show, who are already heavily using meymey celebs to entertain the audience.

Nah E3 has been doing this kind of stuff for years just on a small scale. The real reason is that since the internet has killed a need for a yearly conference like this E3 has to desperately find a way to cling to life. Why should these companies keep doing these huge press and investor conferences when just dumping random internet news conferences with a white background is just as effective.

Wait. so there aren't going to be Presentations anymore?

Shit, I was going to post the same thing but less chink.

marketing speak for eceleb

I hate that "youtubers" are now called "influencers". The corporations are literally admitting that they are paying them to be viral marketers.

This. Keanu raked in the tweets. Of course they took notice of that.
And they honestly believe people would still care if he was talking about gender equality. E3 is fucking done.

Attached: 1486534276719.jpg (436x361, 39K)

yeah, in fact they havent announced anything for this summer

There's very few games coming out anymore to make presentations around. Instead of just showing trailers for the same game 4 years in a row, they're thinking they'll start talking about their charities and social media efforts to Youtube dorks

No. They're just trying to get people to give a shit but they're missing the real reason why no one cares anymore. Dinosaurs have a very poor grasp on reality. Even if gen Z or the Millennial care more about social trash the real reason they don't watch E3 press conferences is because they can just read a recap on some garbage blogsite in a fraction of the time.

And E3 is no longer the premiere place to announce and showcase brand new never before seen games. They do get announced still sure but games are announced pretty regularly elsewhere and through other means. Like Sword and Shield for all it's faults is probably Nintendo's highest profile game this year and it was announced months before E3, as was Astral Chain. Sony didn't even go this year and they barely put effort into anymore when they do.

>Pew Die Pie

No corporation will ever go anywhere near him again because he refused to sell out to the sjws.

Yep its about time for me to bow out of this hobby. My backlog is large enough.

both names sound retarded

Technically it's because youtubers are no longer tied to a single platfrom. They're not "Youtubers" anymore they have instagram, twitter, twitch, and all those other shit platforms.

The correct term should really be "ECeleb Faggot"

I'm playing a video game right now. They're fine.

I think that would be the number one reason to skip 2077. Nothing kills muh immersion quicker than John Wick showing up

You'd be wrong.

they won't call them youtubers because 1) it contains a trademark and 2) youtube's relevance is dying almost as fast as E3

What exactly is wrong with 90% of that? I thought you tards believed in the free market? If so then you'd understand bad ideas will tank and good will rise.

Or are you calling the cornerstone of your financial philosophy flawed? Because you don't get to have it both ways, cupcake. Either you get out of the way and let money dictate what succeeds or you want to control the market by only having what you already support. Keep in mind no industry survives stagnation.

Those bullet points are the most soulless thing I've read all week

>I thought you tards believed in the free market?
Not everyone here is from /pol. The free market is demonic.

God forbid we might have to go outside for entertainment one day

But they still go to E3?

It has nothing to do with video games. It's just shallow stale "Why hello fellow young people" marketing that is doomed to get in the way of things the actual market wants to see. The fact that customization (Something most games now have) has also pretty much made it so that most people can be whatever they want with no need sad pathetic for pandering marketing.

because it is a way to generate interest in games if you have to sit through a 1 hour conference

,maybe we should go back to the old days when they had sales figures and business talk in addition to games.

>This is 100% because of you faggots jerking off over Keanu Reeves.

Who the fuck can pitch this in 2019 and keep their fucking job?

That was kind of the point. E3 was for investors, retailers, and press. That was also why they scaled back down in like 06-07 or so after losing perspective and trying to out do one another with massive booth displays. It's a private convention for people in the industry that's now trying really hard to be for the commoner. At this point they should just open doors to the public if they want the public to care.

This is where I know you are just speaking outta your ass because there’s little to no lewds regarding the series. Maybe one or two drawings of Marie or FeMC. Every thread I’ve been into either have people discussing the missions, collectibles, or how to get better ranks. Consolewar shitposting is just shitposters, I don’t even know why you count that one in as something that determines the quality of the discussions.

The ESA (the people who run E3) don't really have much of a choice. E3 provides most of their yearly funding through renting out the halls for the press conferences and floor space for booths. The money has been drying up though with companies like Nintendo not bothering to run a live conference and Sony completely pulling out last year so most likely they're trying anything that comes to mind to try to keep the money flowing. It also doesn't help that they leaked all that personal information for people with press passes.

That's based though?

E3 has always been one big joke fest with the upside of maybe MAYBE getting an announcement for a game that you actually care about. That's all it has been and all it will ever be, lest they kill themselves in a fire.

Not at all, but E3 is dying because showing off your products at a single grand showcase is meaningless in a fast paced social media world where consumers now expect consistent communication from companies.

Why waste money on E3 when monthly announcments, tweeter, Directs and other formats are both cheaper and more in line of what consumers want?

This same exact shift of communication is how Valve went from the golden child of the industry to one the most hated by consumers by (literally) doing nothing.

>oh, EA killed fourteen children? But at E3 they all did some social good so it's fine

So quick question, how do influences get away with not disclosing that they are being paid to advertise a product? I don't buy that certain big streamers, Shroud would start playing a game like Overwatch out of the blue for instance.

Fuck yes, it's about time E3 became a cringefest again. The last few years have been so sterile.

"Social good"? I'm a fucking gamer, the only social goods I care about are fucking a woman in the ass while gaming.

I'm "passionate" about getting more GAMES and if E3 is going to become Gay3 then the only thing it's good for is me getting another excuse to complain about jews.

>the only social goods I care about are fucking a woman in the ass while gaming.
I see you're passionate about works of fiction.

I honestly don’t mind celebrities shilling because well, that’s what they do. If someone like say Leonardo De Caprio shows up at E3 I ain’t gonna think “Wow he must like vidya. Is he here for X” no I already know that the nigga is here because he’s paid to shill for something. With influencers they pretend to be part of the fanbase or fan of the genre to shill when anyone with a working brain can tell that what they are saying doesn’t really sync with what the fans are thinking. At the end of the day they are just different sides of a coin but Influencers just feels slimier. I know I ain’t making this clear but I hope people get what I’m trying to say.

Some fuckin 10k viewers twitch streamers nobody but actual 10 y/o/ recognize. That’s what usually happens when companies try this shit.

>how do influences get away with not disclosing that they are being paid to advertise a product?
Ever heard of Quid Pro Quo?
Maybe the company doesn't explicitelly gave them money but instead as a way to promote their product they decide to have an event party where they give very specific infliuncers some swag, allow to use their products early and good word of mouth to other companies in the industry.

And maybe the infliuncer very thankful of what the company provided decided to give them some good markting. In which case the compnay, thankful for them continues to give them these extra benifits which in no way includes actual money or contracts of any sort and thus needs no disclosing because it is in no way related to business and just a bit of fun for the companies part.

Someone who isn't a nazi, probably.

Why are they pretending like this hasn't been the focus since it opened to the public?

This is what you console fags get lmao. PC is always on top, even with china and epics shittery we will always be THE platform for gaming.

Games now take longer to make because people wanted 4k, 60fps. And e3 happen once every year, so showing the same game every years gets boring. Remember when Sony show days gone twice during two or maybe three e3.

Videogames aren't yet dead, but E3 sure as fuck is going to be. Didn't every relevant company do a no-show last E3?

Social good? lmao what would america know about good society in this day and age it's going to be more filthy commie bullshit

Literally nobody ever asked for 4K anything. 4K was never anything but a scam so that Sony could sell new TVs.

You faggots cry about muh SJWs but this shit is 100% zoomers.

Zoomers don't really care about products themselves they want to "feel" like they're apart of something or watch others doing something for them. This is why twitch is popular and so many commercials today are meant to be inspirational with nothing to do with a product like a car commercial where some black chick helps up a down syndrome guy that fell in a puddle.

Brand names and feeling apart of a community matter more to zoomers than actual product quality.

This isn't even up for debate, they teach it in modern advertising and it's why commercials are rarely about the product themselves anymore, but about the experience you get being apart of it

It’s easier and more efficient to just release footage of upcoming games online and the like.
