E3 Anti-Roundup

Well, it’s been a week since the event and what do we have to show for ourselves? Seems like a whole lot of nothing spectacular. Sure, we’ve got a PSP Slim goin’ down, a pile of new trailers for games we’ve already know about, and a whack-load of Crysis screengrabs. But anything significant? Nadda.
But seriously, E3, in it’s toned down form just isn’t that amazing thing we all once remembered it to be.
I miss the old E3, where you couldn’t see a day pass without some new incredibly breaking news gushing all over the industry turning it on it’s side. Maybe my nostalgia is calling out for the golden days (maybe I’m just bitter I never got to go to it when it was good) or maybe it’s a good thing that it’s not all jam-packed with excitement for the upcoming fall release schedule. I’m not sure. But it sure is different.
Fine, fine, it’s now aimed at the business and industry itself, trying to be a little more GDC-like in it’s scope, sure. But there’s nothing like a good ol’ boothbabe-filled gamer haven. I guess we’ll have to wait for the other half of the split to hit this fall, E for All, to see if the old bag still has it in her.
Big announcements, I hope we have ‘em.
