While many gamers have expressed disappointment at this decision and the fact that Sony won’t have a first party presence at the show it’s also raising a whole host of questions, many of which we can only speculate on at this time as to the future of not only the PlayStation brand but of E3 as the be all / end all gaming trade show.

Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.
This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.
tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?
Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.
By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.
It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.
Whilst it's an overreaction to say this has "ruined" the game, it's still problematic that this has happened post launch and for many, post-purchase.
I don't want someone to change a product for the worse after I've bought it. The same goes for implementing micro transactions after reviews.
I wonder why they did this? Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.
Gary Green said: In a time where an enhanced, 3D remake of Final Fantasy III already exists, it’s hard to argue that Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster is the definitive version we were expecting. With Final Fantasy III already being the last in the series to be translated and make its way west, this is something of a slap in the face for the fans. Still, let’s not be disheartened. There may be many shortfalls in this edition of Final Fantasy III, however there’s no denying that this classic JRPG still holds some nostalgic value, even if it struggles to break away from its original hardware limitations.
It’s funny I’m seeing these articles about pixel remaster, and I just platinumed 1-4 within 8 days lol. I’ve been on FF5 for about a week now. Let’s just say 5 was the start of FF having content like crazy. I should have the plat within 2-3 days.

Actually for the longest time Gamescom has been bigger. I don't think you can predict what happens to the brand as a whole. My guess is that they will start doing Directs like Nintendo or they trying to revamp their own show. What killed E3 for me last year was the massive amount of leaks. What is the point of waiting for the show if there are no surprises?
skipping because they don't have enough to show, although I'd argue you still try to show some third party and talk about the future, also try to get something planned. I think having a mediocre show is better than not having a show while MS does and Nintendo at least does a Direct if they don't attend.
They're pulling a Rockstar.
Joking aside, I think that it's a smart decision if they feel they aren't ready to play their hand for next Gen and I'm not opposed to them showing stuff through a different outlet.
They've already stated that they will be engaging in different ways in 2019 so it isn't like they're withdrawing from the public completely, just from the annual shows.
Be interesting to see how 2019 plays out.
