“There were a lot of shows last year where everyone was disappointed when they weren\u2019t really press conferences, right? Like Take-Two, Capcom, Square Enix and things like that…I think [they] have learned that if you\u2019re going to do a press conference, you kind of need to have 30 minutes-plus of stuff, and sometimes they only have one or two great games to show, which may not be enough to do a full event around. So I think that\u2019s going to be a bit of a shift. I have a pretty good sense of what\u2019s coming in the next month, and I think people will be hyped about games in general.”<\/p><\/blockquote>
It’s kind of a bold statement in a way \u2014 noting that Summer Game Fest is bigger than, say, a Square Enix conference \u2014 but he’s absolutely right about people being disappointed in general by smaller showcases; a reaction even companies like EA aren’t immune to.<\/p>
Now, we could still get a billion streams anyway, despite this claim. But this has me hopeful that at the very least, several publishers will “fold” into a bigger event, if only because they realized they can’t cut it on their own in the past.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":323454,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[368,339,20124,21246],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":8,"display_name":"Chris Carter","user_login":"Chris Carter","user_nicename":"chris-carter"}],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
