What Makes a Good E3 Press Conference?  @WritingOnGames
Uploaded June 2017 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago
So E3 is upon us and for the first time Writing on Games is at the show to report on it! In the first of two videos I'll be producing about the show, I want to examine one of the hallmarks of the expo - the press conferences - and discuss the idea that it's not just games that make a press conference worth watching. In many ways, the moments that make us cringe are also the ones that compel us to keep watching.

(also, apologies for the slight dip in audio quality - I'm in LA so don't have access to my usual setup)
