Andah, lotofyouhaveactuallybeenreachingoutandsayingDreamcastguy, areyougoingtogoto E 3 2020 AA?
Lotofyouknowthatthishasbeenoneofmybiggestdreams.
I'vealwayslikedtheideaofsomedaygoingto e threeinpersontoseetheseprojects, towondertheholesandseethisallformyself.
But I'vemadethehardchoicenottoattendin 2020.
But I wanttotalkaboutwhy, because I thinkthatitwillmakesensetoyou, andwhat I haveplannedinsteadwillprobablybebetterthanreallyflyingoutthereNow.
Firstandforemost, wecanwejustneedtotalkaboutthefactthat e threeisnotwhatitoncewaasthebiggestthingbeingthat's backintheday.
Wheneitherhestartedto 25 yearsago, itwasabsolutelynecessaryGamedevelopersneeded E three.
Thiswasprettymuchtheonlytimethat a lotofthemcouldshowofftheirprojectsdirectlytothepressandasreaders.
Thiswastheonetimewherewecouldreallypickup a gamingmagazineandreadaboutthefutureorseesomerealphysicalpicturesthatactuallydisplayedwhatmetalgearsolidtoo, wouldlooklike.
Orthingslikethat 83 usedtohave a very, verydefinedpurpose.
Hejustthrow a gametrailerdirectlyontoYouTubeandgetmillionsandmillionsofhits.
I mean, lookatprettymuchanyNintendodirect.
It's juststreamedonYouTubedown.
These a lotoftimeslovehundredsofthousandsofconcurrentviewers, fanswhoarejustinchat, screamingabouthowexcitedtheyarefornewstuffforlike a downloadablecontentforsmashbrothersorthingslikeanimalcrossing.
I thinkit's prettyobviousthatnowwe'rein a muchmorefocusedmedium.
I'vehad a chancetotalktolikebiggamingjournalists, sometimesfromplaceslike I G and R gamesponsorKotaku, andsomethingthat's likeanunderlyingsentimentisthat E threeiskindofwheretheyshine.
E three, in a wayhasbecome a tradeshowof a differentsort.
Italmostfeelssotainted.
Itjustsavessocommercialwhenat a certaintimeitseemedsoimpassioned, and I thinkthat's a lotofpeoplearestartingtorealizethis, includingsomeofthepeoplewhousedtobeprofessionallyinvolvedwiththethree.
So a coupledaysago.
JeffKeeley, themanbehindthegamewards, hasofficiallysaidthathewillnotbeattending E 3 2020 whichisprettybafflingbecausenotonlydoesthisguy, he's gonetoeverysingleeaterysinceElektronikEntertainmentExpobecame a thingliterallyfromthestart.
Untilnow, hehasgonetoeverysingleoneofthemand a lotoftimesworkedtheevent.
Andthisyearhesaid, No, I'm notevenwalkingthroughthedoors.
Whenaskedspecificallyaboutwhyismakingsuch a bafflingchoice, JeffKeeleysaidThisBasedonwhat's beencommunicatedtomeabouttheshow, I justdon't feelcomfortableparticipating.
It's nosecretthat E threeneedstoevolve, and I havelotsofideasaroundthat.
Butitdecidedtotake a waitandseeapproach.
Thatissomeverystrongtalk, basicallysayingthatit's justnotworthhistime, and I thinkwecanallagreethatKeeleydefinitelynaileditwhenhesaidthat E threeneedstoevolve.
Oneofthestrangestchoicestheymadeinthelastcoupleyearsisopeningituptothepublic, makingitmorelike a conventioninsteadoflike a conference.
And I thinkthatthiswasdonebecauseattendancehadbeguntodropless.
PeoplelikebigYouTubersorbit, likebigtwitchstreamers, arewillingtomakethejourneyallthewayovertoCaliforniatoseethesegatesAndsothepeoplewhorun E threehavedecidedtotryandbolsterthesedigitsbyallowingthegeneralpeopletocomein.
Ifyou'rejust a hardcoregamerandhassomeextracash, you'reabletogo.
Thisseemslike a greatidea, butsimultaneouslyit's kindofironicallybackfiredbecauseevenlessjournalistsorwantingtogonow, I'veactuallytalkedto a lotofdifferentlikewritersandstuff, andtheysaid, I don't likeyouthreeasmuchbecauseit's justultra, ultraultracrowded.
It's nolongerevenpossiblesometimestosee a coupledemosbecauseyoujustspendanhourand 1/2 fightingthroughthrongsofdifferentpeople.
Thisis a littlebitof a doubleedgedsword.
I kindofthoughtaboutgoingthisyearformaybeonedayortryingtocheckouttwodaysofitgoinginthere, justbuyinglikethegamerpassandlookingaround.
But I don't knowit.
Eventhatjustdoesn't seemworthitbecause I lookeditup.
Itcosts $1000 togetan E threepassifyouwanttogothereandactuallycheckouttheshowfloorallthreedaysoftheevents.
Itis $1000 justtostretchthroughthegates.
I don't knowaboutyouguys.
I'm notmadeofmoney.
I'm actuallykindof a brokeassyoutuber.
Andhere's thething.
I'm notwillingtodropthatamountofmoney.
And I mean, let's justfaceit.
I am a smalleryoutuber.
I don't knowif I couldevengetTaupresspassorwhatevertotraingetinbecause I ambasically a nobody.
Andwhenwe'retalkingaboutcost, itdoesn't evenbegintoscratchthesurfacewherewe'retalkingaboutflights, travel, beingabletoputmyselfupin a hoteleating.
I thinkthebiggestthing, though, inthemainreasonthat I amjustnotinterestedingoingto E 3 2020 isitjustdoesn't seemlikeit's gonnahavenearlytheamountofgames.
I mean, already, weknowthatSonyisnotshowingup, whichmeansthatalloftheirfirstpartyprojectsaredefinitelynotgettingrevealed.
He's constructedit, He's putting a desksincestuff, andhehassaidthatwhatweshoulddoisourownstreetswe'regoingtodois I'm gonnaflyuptohisplace.
I'm gonnagoandstayinhisstudio, andwhatwe'regonnadoisfortheentireweekofthethree, wewanttodo a livereactiontoallthepressconferenceswhichwillbestreamedonthischannelandoveronhischannel.
Andthenafterward I'llmake a videoabouttoeachoftheconferences, talkingabouttospecificallywhat I thoughtwasgoodinbat.
I thinkthatthiswillbe a nicemakesbecauseit'llmakeitwhere I'm Obviously, bynotbeingonthefloor, I think I'llbeabletoreallykindofabsorbtheinformationbetter.
I'llbeabletoseealltheconferences, and I meanthebiggestthing.
MybiggestpredictionforthisyearisobviouslythattheXbox, Siri's X isgonnabedominating e three.
I thinkwe'llfinallyhopefullyseesomeactualrielcontrollerinthehandsgameplayforthingslikeHaloinfiniteandstuff.
So I'm very, verycurious.
And I thinkthatthiswillmake a goodmixofallowingustoseethegamesandtalkaboutthegames, evenifwemightnotbeabletoplaythem.
Andiftheydecidetoghostdrop a randomdemoonthePlayStationstoresomehow, oriftheydosomethingliketheythrowupthefirstdebateofForHilowillbeabletoplayitrightthere, Coopinpersonforyouguys.
So I thinkthatthiswillbefun.
And I mean, maybethisisjustmypointofview.
I thinkthatthisis a betteruseofmytime.
Insteadofgoing t three, I'm goingtoenjoy e threewithyou.
