I thought E3 was about getting EXPOSURE..so why pay tons of money for a booth..only to put the booth under a box no one can see into so to speak? It defeats the purpose. like a bikini that covers the body from head to toe..whats the point?

I agree with the whole secret crap. I'm curious to know who thought of the closed door mess. I think that they do it to keep the consumer from being disappointed too soon. You know consumers are more casual then sensible. I will say that I'm glad when I've read this:

Quote:

Tech demos of NBA Live, Tiger Woods PGA Tour and Fifa will also be shown privately, with EA promising "never-before-seen technology that delivers authentic athletic performance -- the athletic movements, awareness, look and emotional intensity that bring characters to life in EA Sports games.

BUT the never-before-seen technology could be very subpar. Heck, those games they put out were subpar IMO. The dunks and stuff are pretty decent on the real. What can they add that would make it stand out? I think they're stretching with these things only to disappoint, but I definitely am keeping an eye out for what they havein store.......

Yeah, that doesn't sound right. Especially considering the game comes out 3 months later. If EA does go that route, that's total BS. Then we'll have to deal with the "eyewitness accounts" of how fantastic the game is - "just wait until you get to see it in motion!".

Just like last year.

At first I was thinking endorphin in NBA Live, Tiger Woods and Fifa. But then that would not be never before seen technology. Probably just doing the hype machine again.

Nintendo renamed their next-gen console offering, the Revolution, to the Wii. It's the one with the innovative pointer controller that interprets your movements of it as commands to the game.

I'm sort of curious as to what differences there will be, if any, between the PS3 and the 360 versions of Madden. I don't speculate there being many, but nevertheless. Also curious about the impressions of the Madden on the Wii.

Completely unrelated: since when is Tetris an EA title?

Wait, if I'am reading that correctly, it says behind closed doors for the (PS3,Wii) but playable for the 360 and other systems.
