With the upcoming rebirth of E3 tomorrow, I thought I’d throw an old video of E3 2005 I made following the event onto YouTube, summarising the experience for one of the Mass Effect weekly team meetings.
A lot of press has been circulating regarding a supposed relief shared throughout the industry that the event has been downsized to save on costs and ensure only an invited audience attends, with arguably the most noise being made by the journalists themselves who they no longer have to go through the ordeal of cramming most of their yearly output into three days.
I, however, have yet to meet a developer that doesn’t lament the death of perhaps the greatest videogaming spectacle ever made. Don’t believe the naysayers – if you never attended, you missed out on a truly amazing experience, the likes of which may never happen again.
