WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING

Here are my favorite highlights from that conference

A woman firing a pistol into the ceiling repeatedly
"Tomorrow's tomorrow's tomorrow: Check a look."
That one guy getting his hand cut off
"Clamp your gob you fucking moron"

What...the.....fuck?

What was it even for?

[pichubro]

So the Devolver conference was the craziest trip I've ever experienced. It seemed like a legit indie conference that descended into madness within the first minutes. It has to be seen to be believed, what a massive troll. I think someone paid for the time slot just to run this parody. I laughed so hard my stomach hurts. hahahaha

Imagine if ATHF had an E3 conference, that's about what you can expect.

[Mario the black knight]

Will this one be posted anywhere?

[pichubro]

Hopefully, I want to rewatch it hahaha

Right now they are doing the "Post show" which is slotted from now until... 9 AM. >_>

[pichubro]

Here is a screenshot of what's going on right now



This is some bizarro world right now

Why do I feel like Cartoon Network just bought a ton of conference time at let their writers go crazy?

Like, mid stream theres just gonna be an Adult Swim bumper

That or this is the kind of content they think people want, since clearly games aren't a concern this year.

[pichubro]

Watching that conference live with chat reactions is a memory I don't think I'll ever forget hahaha

[pichubro]

THEY ARE SHOWING KAIJU BIG BATTLE CLIPS

best conference

[pichubro]

[pichubro]

DR. CUBE NOOOOO

[pichubro]

SILVER POTATO IS THE WINNER!!!

[pichubro]

OH HANG ON

[Mario the black knight]

This feels like the equivilant of the organizers of the conference jingling keys in front of the faces of it's viewers to distract them from the fact that this conference has nothing to do with games this year.

[pichubro]

BOOOOOOOO

Devolver is clearly mocking E3 and it's "no fun allowed" attitude it's had lately. I am personally finding this a lot of fun. Devolver Studios doesn't have any new games to show.

Once upon a time it was a professional conference

I remember when E3 seemed like a thing were going to as a game developer.

I guess GDC is all thats left.

I didn't realize you were part of the No Fun Allowed police.

[Mario the black knight]

All I'm saying is it isn't a conference for professionals anymore

[pichubro]

It never was.

Oh, they are playing ToeJam & Earl's new game right now. Eeehhh

[Mario the black knight]

It used to at least feel like it.

It's stuff like this that makes me not exited for E3 anymore.

Just give me good trailers for good games presented by grownups and skip the bullshit.

[pichubro]

Sure, but only because Sony started getting super serious and everyone followed their lead. E3 used to be pretty casual. This was the first year they allowed the general public again and all the conferences I've seen today were absolute snorefests outside the Devolver stuff. I don't even think the Microsoft crowd popped for anything shown. They were so dead they didn't react to Ori at the end of the conference.

[Mario the black knight]

Theres a difference between casual and childish. It's supposed to be a professional press conference. What drew me in was the straight laced presentation style, mainly Sony's style. Professionals in the trade showing the best of the best. People who knew what they were talking about presenting the cutting edge of technology in the trade. Theres supposed to be a separation between the workers and the marks.

No one cared about the Xbox conference because no one cares about Xbox. And also, suprise, no games, just flashy bullshit.

They can take this showmanship shit over to TwitchCon, the marks already have their own conference. A bunch of them actually. All developers seem to have left is GDC. And who knows how long before thats a bunch of childish nonsense.

Crap like this is why people don't take the game industry seriously.
