Has anyone started a EZA 3?

@FF7Cloud I thought for sure we'd get that or God of War. But with Spider-Man, GoW, Shadow of the Colossus, and Detroit (according to David Cage) all coming out next year I don't know if they'll have room. Unless they slip it in as like a summer game or something. It really should come out next year, they've been on it for almost 4-5 years. If it's not ready yet there must be something wrong.

@Haru17 I thought it was an alright year for Sony. It wasn't terrible, they just didn't mean the sky high expectations they set the past couple of years. The most concerning thing is we have no release window at all for Days Gone. I have a feeling it's going to be 2019 which probably means TLOU2 is even farther away. I think the longer it takes for Days Gone to come out, the worse off it'll be.

@Doctor-Professor I was just going off of the main big publisher conferences, the way I saw it their "conference" was more of a parody as opposed to actually trying to show off games.

@benoit489 I'll def do it for following conferences like PSX and what not

Am hyped for the game, the combat looks pretty meh but maybe they've worked that out more since the last gameplay shown. Totally plan on buying this just for the setting alone

Thank you guys! I do think 75+ should be the goal. Not only does it cut out the crap we don't need but also makes for a quicker faster show. Microsofts show was just exhausting by the end of it. While it wasn't perfect I think Sony is pretty close, last year's conference was nearly perfect.

Updated with all conferences now

@Inustar Yeah, the title is bad, but it never even got officially revealed so they could've changed it

Oblivion (2006) --> Fallout 3 (2008) --> Skyrim (2011) --> Fallout 4 (2015). They've been taking longer to make their games and I think the soonest we'll see anything Elder Scrolls is next E3, maybe a VGA's announcement in December this year.

I find myself in the minority of this opinion of LA Noire was one of my top 5 games from last gen so when Bondi was working on Whore of the Orient I could not be more hyped. 50's detective noir vibes are so rare in video games. Then it disappeared forever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzlVkkAl2bA

Second would be what Splinter Cell Conviction was originally. It was more Jason Bourne style where you could pick up any object and use it to fight and it had more open world feel and you could blend into crowds and stuff giving it a real rogue agent vibe. But they changed it into the traditional stealth shooter that was pretty meh by the time it came out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPeWpTW2qGM

I think some type of Evil of Within and Wolfenstein are expected

It's what else they're going to fill their conference with that has curious. I think it's too soon for Elder Scrolls or Fallout (unless it's VR). So maybe Dishonored 2 DLC, DOOM tease, and new game (Starfield)?

@Hazz3r Yeah I did not include the Battlefield 1 thing last year because it seemed to be a consensus from everyone that it was it's own thing after the conference was over. Not sure if the BF2 demo being in the conference helped or hurt EA

If you take out the the almost 19 minute Battlefront 2 demo the Games percentage of the show drops to 28.6%. So almost the same as the previous year.

@Inustar thanks! I do think it brings and interesting perspective to the conferences

@Haru17 Thanks! it is some work, but I love E3!

Hello Allies! This is my first post on the forums so forgive me if I'm rusty. I recently submitted the question (I'm Ryan T) to the latest EZA Podcast about E3 2016 Conference Ratios and the guys really seemed to like it and it even got it's own NeoGaf thread for discussion.

Basically I loved doing it and found the whole thing really interesting so I'm doing it again for the 6 major conferences (including Nintendo this time!) and going a little more in depth as well. I just finished up EA's conference and I'll be updating the post with the others as they come as well as a final breakdown once everything is said and done. Hopefully the guys will see this and have some more discussion about it! Hope you guys enjoy!

There's two categories: Games and Non Games. Games is made up of demos and trailers. Non Games is made up of talking on stage, videos of people talking or videos about games that don't really show any substantial gameplay (think EA's developer diaries), and "other" to include our orchestras, drum corps, and inevitable Ubisoft dance numbers. All with their respective percentages.
