The E3 Countdown: What you need to know about E3

We here at Lo-Ping are pumped for E3, we know you are too. You’re an avid gamer who likes to stay up to date on the latest and greatest news of the industry, whether you’re reading up about it on a website or watching a live stream of the Video Game Awards show, suffering through all the celebrity crap just to get to the new game trailers.

We’ve decided that we’re going to get the E3 ball rolling a little early with this six part series which covers everything about the show; from its humble beginnings to our most beloved (and worst) memories of the expo, as well as spilling the beans on the rumors and what we each expect to see from each of the big three conferences.

Without further ado, let’s get started!

Nice preview, man. Can't wait for the next part.

I love E3, I still haven't finished my E3 2010 list of the things I wanted (because some of it hasn't been released yet). But that is what is so fun about E3, seeing what you will be buying and playing in the future. Excited as hell for Nintendo again like last year. I'm talking can't get to bed before christmas excitement. lol

Im pretty convinced that E3 this year is gonna be a hit I was paying attention to microsfts conference last year and was utterly disappointed just for the fact they didn't announce any new games except that new IP. Nintendo and Sony did very well last year but I wanna be blown away by Microsoft this year.

PS6 Graphics – Can it Approach Photorealism?

If the PS5 Pro leaks are accurate, the eventual PS6 is slated to be one powerful console. But if modern GPUs still lag behind true photorealism, can the PS6 get there?

I hate to be "that guy", but we have go ask ourselves do the industry need photorealistic graphics at this point or actually good games, good content, less anti-consumer practices?
This graphical obsession has brought nothing but years upon years of waiting for a game to launch with huge detailed empty worlds, bad stories and predictable gameplay and (micro)transactions everywhere. Sorry for the rant.

Same. I really don't want to be in an interactive film and, to me photorealism is not needed for immersion.

If anything, the massive layoffs in the industry right now are showing that investors are pulling out and not wanting to invest as much as they are right now into AAAs. Much less push for even higher detail, unless many parts of it are automated by AI for a cheaper price. Not saying I support people's jobs being replaced by AI, just stating a reality of what the money people want.

Personally for me, graphics have already gotten to the point where I don't really feel the need to see having it to make anymore realistic or better.

At this point, I rather game developers focus on quality/engaging stories, gameplay, & contents. Also not every every single game needs to opened world just for the sake of it.

Honestly with UC4 I thought we were close but things don't really seem to have improved much in 8 years. Hellblade 2 seems to have raised the bar a bit though

I don't think publishers have the money to make that happen. They can barely sustain the current level of fidelity.

Personally I liked that RDO wasn't smash hit but it proved that players were really there for the single player portion of the game and should settle take two execs down off their micro transactions high horse a little ongoing
