Cancel all, E3 is not dead. The annual Salon of the video game, which officially runs from June 14 to 16 in Los Angeles, but the conference began on Sunday, recalled during the night of Monday to Tuesday that was its charm and interest. Oh, almost nothing. A subtle, indefinable alchemy of impatience, surprise, monumentalism and craziness
The night will be spared us nothing. The fanfare, not one, but two new consoles announced at Microsoft, one presented so phallic as embarrassing as the largest displacement ever output – “a monster” says same manufacturer, so sure of his instrument that will come out the measurements, 6 teraflops, and even at rest. To believe the excitement in the room, no doubt, the jamboree expected nothing other than this: superlative of unpacking the muscular communication, that je ne sais quoi encrypted, measurable, comparable, where iT passion vies with locker room mentality.
Still, E3 also knows how to extract the comparative rationality to enjoy the simple joys of tart and great anything. Ask Ubisoft: it is now several years that many players, even if they are completely sealed to the productions of the French publisher, continue to follow its annual conference for purely retinal pleasure of the psychedelic experience, foutraque organized the communication under suspicious substances. Do not Stop Me Now Queen, dancers dressed as giraffe, a guitar-shaped giant butterfly: the base, in sum

E3, in its best moments, is the image of the video game culture lightning rod of the second degree which protects us against serious flashes who constantly threaten, beat and we saddled. Without the glitz of the film, but with a sense of kitsch.
and then there are these weightless moments, when suddenly the industry of the joystick, sometimes so interested in the extent of its graphics device, now if disheveled, touches something that resonates in us. One moment, such as the one reserved for the arrival on stage of Hideo Kojima, creator of historical Metal Gear Solid at the Sony conference to present Death Stranding his new production. Morbid, languorous, paternal, Lynchian, vulnerable, spooky … words fail, or collide, to say the strangeness and beauty of subjugating his trailer.
So here E3 is not dead, it continues to surprise, and that’s all we ask. No one in LA is fooled by his profound vocation of great advertising rout; the observers present here know well in the eyes of the mercantile industry are not as communication relay in the strategy of large firms. But they are doing so at this small provided that the E3 continues to be this great playground childish and funny, this Game of Thrones plastic, made of neon lights, projectors and hero costume foam, which protect against the ravages of time, serious and adult life. In short, a lounge that kindness to take us for what we are not

“Take my money ‘
On Twitter, an inevitable question: Who won E3? Which sent most of kilograms of dream by conference? Who squashed with the nonchalance over the rest of the competition?
During the Sony conference, a spectator could not help yelling a “ take my money ” ( “take my money”) , which on the scale of the conviction of the consumer, is the maximum which can theoretically claim any actor, especially the manufacturer of the PlayStation that night, which had brought a full symphony orchestra to present its games and announce the official release of its PlayStation VR headset.

To spice up the game, Nintendo introduces some subtleties: Vince Bollorent painting has unlimited ammunition, but only Oves Guillemut knows how to paint. A good canvas in perspective.
