TheElectronic Entertainment Expo 2016(E3 2016) was the 22ndE3,during which several hardware manufacturers and software developers and publishers from thevideo game industrypresented new and upcoming products to the attendees, primarily retailers and members of the video game press. The event, organized by theEntertainment Software Association,took place at theLos Angeles Convention Centerfrom June 14–16, 2016. Approximately 50,300 people attended the event, slightly down from the previous year's.[1]With video game consoles currently a couple years into their8th generation,the focus of E3 2016 was primarily on new software titles, with new hardware revisions and auxiliary equipment to support the growing market sectors of4K resolutiondisplays andvirtual realityheadsets.[2]

The Expo started two days after themass shooting at an Orlando, Florida nightclub.It was also three days afterthe murder of Christina Grimmie,who was a bigZeldafan and was scheduled to make an appearance at the expo.[3]To show support for victims of the tragedy, the exhibitors at the Expo made changes to their presentations and plans. Flags outside the Convention Center were lowered tohalf-mast.Bethesda and Nintendo wore rainbow-colored ribbon pins during their press conferences in support of the victims, Microsoft and Nintendo opened their presentations with a moment of silence for Grimmie and the other victims. Sony's ChairmanShawn Laydenstarted his presentation with a brief speech on the Orlando shooting andNintendopresident,Reggie Fils-Aimé,gave his condolences to Grimmie's family and fans before starting his keynote speech.[4]Other developers planned to alter their approach to social media announcements during the Expo to avoid statements that would be counter to the current national mood after the event.[5][6][7]

Nintendo

[edit]

Nintendo,continuing a precedence set at the previous three expos, decided to forego hosting either a traditional press conference or announcement video in favor of two separate day-long Treehouse Live shows. The first broadcast on June 14 was dedicated to the full reveal ofThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the WildandPokémon SunandMoon.[22]The second broadcast on June 15 covered several other announced first-party titles, including thePokémon GoPlusdevice that would work alongside the upcoming mobile game,Ever Oasis,Mario Party: Star Rush,Paper Mario: Color Splash,BoxBoxBoy!,andRhythm Heaven Megamix,which was released that day on Nintendo's eShop. It also featured other third-party games that would appear on theNintendo 3DS,includingMonster Hunter Generations,Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past,andYo-kai Watch 2.[23]

Nintendo made the unorthodox decision to not present the then-unrevealedNintendo Switch(at this point still known as by its codename, "NX" ) at E3 2016, despite the console being due for an early 2017 release. At a shareholders meeting following E3,Shigeru Miyamotostated that this was due to concerns of competitors copying from it if they revealed it too soon.[24]Nintendo's presence on the show floor was devoted exclusively toBreath of the Wild.[25]

List of notable exhibitors

[edit]

Several major exhibitors who had attended the previous E3 exhibitions were not present.Activisionopted to forgo a booth at the show, instead featuring their upcoming games through other publishers that would be there, such as allowing Sony to showcaseCall of Duty: Infinite Warfare.[26]Electronic Artsopted to hold their EA Play event separate from E3, and forgo any floor space at the show. BothDisney Interactive Studios(which ceased to operate as an independent developer effective May 2016)[27]andWargamingopted to not present in the event.[28]

Into the Pixel Exhibition

[edit]

TheInto the Pixelexhibition, a collaboration between the Entertainment Software Association and theAcademy of Interactive Arts & Scienceson display during E3, featured selected art that "push the interactive entertainment art form forward".[114]The exhibit included selected concept art, in-game assets, and screenshots, from existing and upcoming games chosen from artist-submitted entries by a small jury. The fourteen games selected in 2016 include:[115]

E3 Live

[edit]

In prior years, there has been pressure on the ESA, the organizers of E3, to admit members of the public to the event. E3 is normally closed only to members of the video game industry and the media.[116]As the video game industry is strongly driven by consumers and avid gamers, E3 has been criticized for denying them access to the event. In 2015, the ESA allocated 5000 tickets among the various floor exhibitors that they could give to fans to attend the expo.[117]

For E3 2016, the ESA planned a separate three-day E3 Live event held from June 14–16, 2016 alongside the main E3 event for members of the public atL.A. Live,which neighbors the Convention Center. The event was free but required ticket reservations. E3 Live was promoted with the opportunity for its attendees to try the games and meet with members of the industry and selected company representatives, along with musical performances. This is the first time that E3 offered any opportunity for the public at large to attend the E3 event.[118]According to ESA's Mike Gallagher, the intent of E3 Live was to provide to gamers that were not part of the industry "the chance to test-drive exciting new games, interact with some of their favorite developers, and be among the first in the world to enjoy groundbreaking game experiences".[116]

The EA Live event drew about 20,000 people.[119]According to James Brightman forGamesIndustry.biz,the event was underwhelming compared to what had been described, with only a few display areas among a small area. He spoke to those that attended who shared the same sentiment, that the promotion of the E3 Live event suggested there would be much more present.[116]
