MCV speaks with publishers about hopes for E3 2009
With E3 officially set to start Tuesday (although you wouldn't know it from today), MCV spoke with several industry heavies about what the show must do this year to make the past two years of min-E3s nothing but a distant memory. Sega of America head Simon Jeffrey believes the show needs to have a "controlled level of noise and spectacle" and "can't get back to the days of the E3 circus/carnival" that got in the way of the business. His sentiments are echoed by other industry heads.
ESA CEO Mike Gallagher recognizes that the current economic climate is a challenge and beleives the new E3 is the "best value event that European business will see all year." Well the real madness -- which is a massive departure from the eerie quiet from last year -- is set to start Tuesday morning. Feel free to join us.
