Hades 2 among six titles nominated for Game of the Year, alongside Blue Prince, Ghost of Yōtei, and Hollow Knight: Silksong

The show is set to take place between July 14 and 16

WTMG's Jordan Hawes: "With the advent of NVIDIA's DLSS 5 tools, and the whole debacle surrounding AI usage in AAA gaming, is this new push an opportunity for smaller studios to showcase they are the ones vouching for artistic integrity in the gaming industry?"
They already are. Indie studios are the only developers that constantly strive to publish innovative and experimental experiences. There has been little to no art in AAA gaming, with just a few exceptions.
Indie-studios have been showcasing their creative superiority and bravery over AAA-studios/releases for a while now.
Personally. I have zero interest in AI slop in any of my entertainment, so regardless of what Sony, Ubisoft, MS, EA, etc believe the future is, I'm just not gonna touch any of that stuff.
In reality a dev having a simplistic tech statck does not really impact the end user experience. If the game is good and worth playing is what matters. In other words some cooks make care if 2 or 3 eggs were used to make a cake but the person eating it doesn't. And in the case of DLSS 5 the chef is soley responsible for the recipe and how its mixed together.
Times change. Social media, youtube, Just look at the views of HZD 2 on youtube... I think it will be very dificult for sony to comeback.
For E3 to improve it needs to be all about game play, developers, fans and gaming culture. Days of fake trailers just aren't cutting it anymore.
For me the E3 is the Christmas time of the gamer and I'm very hopeful that we will have no streaming next year. This year we still have the coronavirus on us and it didn't feel as usual but I understand what we are going through.
E3 is a dinosaur. There's better sources of information nowadays. I prefer developer showcases personally
E3 is great and will never die.
