What the hell is this.
[quote]Geoff Keighley has confirmed that Sony’s big PS4 reveal and press conference will [b]not[/b] be broadcast on Spike, apparently owing to the conference’s late start time....If you take a look at Spike’s current program listings you’ll see several hours of E3 coverage from 9am to 2.30pm PDT, encapsulating the [b]Microsoft and EA conferences.[/b] [b]Then at 6pm, when the Sony conference will be gearing up, Spike will be showing Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.[/b]
Yes, we’re to believe a rerun of 2004′s most ball-pun filled slapstick comedy is of more interest to people than the first public outing of the PlayStation 4.[/quote]
This is some kind of bullshit. How likely is it Microsoft paid Spike off for this sham. Can't stand up to the competition? Don't worry, we'll just stop the general populace from watching your conference and first unveiling of the console.

1 답변Do people even watch these things on TV anymore? The Internet is so much better for it.

2 답변I don't recognize that source, so I'll take this with a grain of salt until somebody like Kotaku or IGN or Polygon reports this. I was probably just gonna watch the stream anyways.

I find [url=http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=60025025&postcount=101]Geoff's excuse[/url] "I would love to have had PlayStation on Spike, but the late start time (primetime on the east coast) makes it very difficult" to be bullshit. If Spike had wanted to air the Sony conference, they would have made room for it. I mean, he has the balls (pun intended, sure why the -blam!- not) to go out there and say "Well it's primetime so we can't broadcast Sony's conference, but we [i]can[/i] put up a 9-year old immature comedy [i]in primetime[/i]." Primetime is when you want to air content you want people to tune in to your station to watch because that's when the majority of the American populace is watching TV. The fact that Spike is putting Dodgeball (of all movies, [i]Dodgeball?!?!?[/i]) on at primetime instead of more E3 that they clearly have the ability to continue covering is, in fact, bullshit. It's a piss-poor business decision. This coming from a Microsoft supporter too. Honestly has more to do with the fact Destiny will have its gameplay reveal during the Sony conference, but still, that's really uncool of Spike and especially Geoff. I've lost a lot of respect for Geoff today. Admittedly I was never going to watch E3 on Spike, I don't even have cable/satellite. But still, it's a matter of principle, integrity, and honesty. Something is rotten in the channel of Spike.

작성자: Tartan 118 6/4/2013 11:11:49 AMUh-oh, whatever will happen without E3 on national television? Perhaps you'll have to do what the rest of the world does and stream it online. In fairness, TV has relatively tiny amounts of any live technical upsets, whereas streams can slow, stop, pause to buffer, any number of things. :/

2 답변They've lost a lot of viewers with this, i doubt M$ paid them and if they did it would have to be a -blam!-ing large sum of money.

1 답변Spike is TV, XOne's big sells point is watching TV. Sony's is video games. So differing interests I guess.

I think most people watch E3 press conferences online anyways. Add in Nintendo is having an online only Nintendo Direct instead of a traditional press conference. Regardless, I'm sure gamers are going to be excited to see what new technology and games will be coming to the gaming world.
