They’ll be showing stuff of course, ”a lot of new things”, but will likely save new announcements for QuakeCon in mid-August.
”Probably not. Just me, personally, both from my days, even though it seems eons ago where I used to attend E3 as a journo and now with my ten-plus years at Bethesda, I just don’t think E3 is a great place to announce anything,” VP Hines told Joystiq.
”It’s just so much stuff going on that it tends to get lost, so I think we tend to try and go outside of that window for new announcements. I think we’ll have a lot of new things to show.” All the games out there will get new content strutting at E3.
”We hope to be hands-on with the majority of them for the press, that kind of thing. But as far as new announcements, I think we would either do those kinds of things and maybe be more inclined to do them at events like QuakeCon,” explained the PR boss.
”That’s now kind of an event that we’re working with id to make bigger and better. One of the ways you make it bigger and better is you take some of your stuff and do announcements there rather than doing them elsewhere.”
”So I think it still remains to be seen, but I wouldn’t expect any big announcements from us at E3, although it is only April and it’s two months away.” QuakeCon this year is scheduled to begin August 12th and end the 15th. What have Bethesda already named?
Well there’s Rage, Brink, Fallout: New Vegas and Hunted: The Demon’s Forge. All these will have some presence at E3 2010. Do you agree that E3 just gets too noisy? The biggest winners from the Electronic Entertainment Expo tend to be the platform holders.
