E3 sucks, and it's our own fault. Like over eager kids at Christmas, we're too keen to see what we've got waiting for us before it's ready, desperately clawing at the internet for morsels of information, leading to the event itself becoming little more than a procession of pain...
Digital intelligence and analytics firm Sensor Tower has released its State of Gaming 2026 report, revealing flat growth in mobile game revenue, double-digit growth for PC and console gaming, and another record year for PC, with more games sold on Steam than ever before.
Kotaku writes: "A Resident Evil Requiem review published by long-standing UK gaming news site Videogamer has been removed from Metacritic after readers pointed out it was written by a fake AI journalist who doesn’t actually exist. Videogamer‘s human masthead was gutted last week, sources tell Kotaku, and the site has been publishing apparent genAI slop ever since."
Genuinely well done on metacritic for taking such an immediate hard stance. Not often, if at all, you see that these days. Credit where it’s due.
This is really sad on so many levels. Not least of all the fact that all the human lost their jobs to a language model. Can we block all content coming from Videogamer site. Can we make a rule that content sumitted to N4G must be greated by a human being.
I'm gonna report every Videogamer article I see on N4G from now on so just putting it out there.
Isnt videogamer one of the N4G owner run sites?
Seems to fit their MO to cut corners and push cheap dribble.
Check my comments, over a year ago I was calling out videogamer and N4G on their AI articles pushing slop 24/7
It is amazing but I'm starting to slightly miss the moron gaming press we had in the 2010s because at least they were human.
Game and advertising companies have been told to 'get their houses in order' and be more transparent about the presence of loot boxes in mobile titles.
first time ever last year i sat up and watched E3 i loved it it don't suck
I always found E3 to be boring, all they do is show games we already know about, and then hype up some 30 second CGI trailer that sucks.
It's true E3 has become crap. TGS is where its at.
it dawned on me that I partially agree with it.
I disagree. Theres a whole lot of announcements and unpredictability in this E3. For starters, we don't even know if Natal is gonna work, or if it has more games other than that red ball game.
This E3 is gonna be da bomb, especially if Elder Scrolls 5 is announced...
