Yeah E3 was always a tricky one, the press never has been happy with how crowded it was even before it was open to the public and now it sounds like it's even more of a madhouse.


Yeah, I know and have overheard press complain about bloggers, you tubers, influencers and the likes.... but even before that it’s been pretty hectic, worse if you don’t schedule things you want to see and or play. But they tend to forget that they’re not the only ones there, besides those I’ve mentioned, there’s also devs, pr, celebrities and other guest who get to go. I’ve met some whilst in line.

They need a whole day just solely for media/press. And then the rest can be for those not having to write, video or report on what’s there. If TGS and GamesCom can do it then so should this.

A super late FYI, the last day is by far the easiest to get access to more games, I dono bout this year but on the last day you’ll see little kids running about the show floor.

I feel bad that this year they’ve cut short the time. I’m sure once all the data is tallied up they’ll make changes.
 
So why give it a release date in the first place.

I think it was just so they didn't have to keep answering questions about when it was coming out, all of the hands on reports from the show were talking about how it was running on a high end PC and still had poor performance and ugly textures etc. It's original release date was announced in June and it was delayed two months later. I really think it was mostly to keep the heat off, if it was really going to release along with the One X they'd have given it a stage demo at that E3 and not just a quick trailer and then moved on.

I just got my pre-order for outer wilds thanks to watching the MS presser on Mixer. Wasn't sure I would get it while watching on PC.
 
Fwiw, at a thread on Era titled, "Has MS turned it around?" the votes were: 61% "yes," 28% "we'll see," (wait for games), and 11% "no."

Changed my vote to A-.

Same:
Thank you for watching the E3 Xbox briefing on Mixer! A pre-order for Outer Wilds on Xbox has been granted to your account. We’ll send you another notification when it releases.
Okay, so I am not the only one with that message. I thought I was getting tricked!
