Chapter 365 362. Fortunately, it was held by Bomi!

Just as CJ was hosting, the E3 exhibition in the United States has also begun.

This E3 Electronics Fair lasts from July 11, 2007 to July 13.

It only took 3 days, compared to E3 before, this time it really shrank a lot.

Not only is it incomparable to the previous E3, but it is also incomparable to the current Tokyo Game Show, and it is even less lively than China's CJ.

This year's E3 has caused deep doubts -

Is this the world's number one electronic entertainment exhibition?

Is this the E3 I think?

...

The format of this E3 exhibition has changed drastically, with the exhibition scale greatly reduced. The venue was moved to the hotels around Santa Monica and the airline center Barker Hanger.

The center of this E3 exhibition is located at Fairmont Miramar Hotel, including the organizer ESA office, the registration of exhibitors and the venue for manufacturers’ presentations, etc., which are all located in this hotel. Many game manufacturers rent other venues in nearby hotels and set up exhibition rooms for display.

The venue for the exhibition is Barker Hanger, the aviation center of Santa Monica Airport. The venue is a dome-mounted parking hangar, which is much smaller than the LACC of E3 in previous years. It is probably only equivalent to the size of one or two large manufacturers' stalls in previous years. The maximum stalls of manufacturers are only 6 square meters. There are 4 standard display stands, and up to 12 games are displayed.

...

Because the stalls of each manufacturer are designed in a standard style and are not arranged separately, they can only be distinguished from the pronunciation board. In the past, the scenes of various manufacturers' stalls competing for beauty are no longer seen.

However, this setting method also reduces the "rich and poor gap" between manufacturers. Large factories do not need to spend a lot of money to set up super large luxury stalls, and small factories can also have the minimum exposure space.

The number of visitors on site has also decreased significantly compared with previous years. Although the venue has become smaller, it does not feel congested at all, and each trial machine can be easily shipped.

However, on the one hand, because the venue is a distance from the E3 center, many major factories have rented hotels near the E3 center to set up their own exclusive display stalls, which has dispersed the crowds of visitors.

The most popular one on site is the "Wii Fit" at Nintendo booth. The "Wii Fit" and the dedicated Wii balance board that were announced at the conference two days ago can already be tried on site, attracting many visitors to stop.

Others such as SCEA, EA, CAPCOM, KONAMI, SEGA, etc. also provide trials of many powerful works in development.

...

In 2007, the E3 was forced by a large number of manufacturers led by Sony to force the organizers to show their exhibition scale, which eventually led to a sharp reduction in the scale of exhibitions. Many manufacturers' press conferences were held in nearby hotels. Only 33 companies participated in this E3, the fewest in history.

The game is naturally boring, almost mainly relying on Microsoft and Xbox 360 to support it. Games such as "Mass Effect", "Crisis of the Island" and "Little Big Planet" have won various awards that lack competitors.

However, perhaps it is worth mentioning that this year's E3 was also officially unveiled in "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare". Since then, this series has evolved into a new giant, and it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to make the game essentially change.

...

Relevant media have made corresponding reports on this E3 exhibition, and the Chinese Youmi Starry Sky also sent relevant consultation content as soon as possible:

"It can be seen that this year's E3 exhibition has indeed shrunk a lot compared to before. In addition, only 33 game manufacturers participated in this E3 exhibition, so there were relatively few visitors.

It can be described as depression.

The glory of the past no longer exists.

This may mean that E3 will fall from the altar. If E3 next year is still as declining as it is now, it is likely to lead to a world-class exhibition decline."

"In the E3 exhibition, there were only 33 game manufacturers, and less than 80 works were exhibited. There were no retailers who arrived at the scene this time. The main reason was the chaotic venue management, the simple facilities, and the scale shrank significantly compared with the previous one.

Due to the lack of enough famous big manufacturers to join, this year's E3 exhibition site can be said to be in bleakness."

...

"Damn, this is what the organizer asked for? Why do we need to reduce it significantly? Look, there are not even many game dealers participating in this moment,"

"Do you know, as an international student, I still want to have the opportunity to see the E3 style today. As soon as I arrived at the scene, I was so stupid.

Because there are too few people on site, you will find that it takes a lot of time to queue up some popular games, but this time you hardly need to queue up, and you can play whatever you want.

You can imagine how many people there are.”

“This year, there is really nothing else except Call of Duty 4.”

"Yes, think about it, what other manufacturers are there? Even Nintendo doesn't work well, and no new games are exposed. Don't you have to give the limelight to Call of Duty now?"

"Yes, fortunately there is Bomi this year. Fortunately, this International Electronic Entertainment Exhibition was hosted by Bomi Company. I think I can really look forward to it."

...

Compared with the dismal E3 this year, the Bommoi International Electrical Exhibition in August can be said to be full of stars.

Just a glance at the official game manufacturers and their game list can see the clues:

Nintendo: a world-class game manufacturer, one of the most influential and famous game platform manufacturers, and the leader in portable game console platforms.

In addition, there are many small game dealers.

There are a lot of game works, with about 80 companies in total, and more than 300 games will be exhibited at this Bomi International Television Exhibition, and new games account for the vast majority of them.

It can be described as a grand occasion.

It is much larger than last year's E3 exhibition.

The large scale and many manufacturers mean that there are many audiences.

The pre-exhibition press conference on the first day had not started yet, and the scene was already crowded.

Most of them are Chinese players, and there are a small number of foreigners.

It's almost like holding a large concert.

The seats were all full, and the security guards dispatched hundreds of people to maintain order on the scene.

This time, under the guidance of relevant local departments, the order on the scene was maintained in an orderly manner.

After all, it is not the first time that the Workers' Sports has held such a large-scale performance and exhibition. All concerts of 10,000 people have been held, and Bomi's National Electrical Exhibition can only be regarded as a routine operation.

This shows the greatness of our country.

The Olympics will be held at this time next year at the Imperial Capital Bird's Nest, and that will be the real grand occasion.

...

On August 5, the pre-exhibition press conference of Bomi International Telecommunications began.

The pre-exhibition press conference is for major game manufacturers to promote and create momentum, so that their games can be spread to the world through press conferences.
