E3 to go public?

Posted on Wednesday, 3 September 2008 by Speed, source: Kotaku
E3 has had a lot of criticism after the last show, and things seem to go for the worse.

Rumours are floating around that in what appears to be an attempt to revive the event, the E3 board is talking about making the Electronic Entertainment Expo accessible for the general public.

The latest word we've heard is that the idea has been officially brought forward and is in discussion by the board of the Entertainment Software Association. That means the possibility of an open E3 is one step closer to reality, if the rumor is true.
To be honest: making it open to the general public in my opinion is the last nail on the coffin.

The best way to look at it is like a movie. This awesome movie comes out and it has amazing cgi, hot chicks and huge guns. This movie does amazingly well and almost everyone loves it, its the biggest movie of the year.

Then the director decides hes going to make a sequel, except this time without the amazing cgi, hot chicks or the huge guns. He decides he wants to tone it down so that its now a PG movie and it costs a lot less. Odds are the next movie is going to suck and everyone will hate it. But the director decides that hes going to keep making movies with this new theme and in the end everyone hates the entire series because it will never live up to the first movie.

My point here is that no matter what E3 does from here on out, its never going to be as good as an event as it once was in its glory days. At least not in the direction they are taking it.
