Pachter Factor E3 Episode Questions

Let's give him a softball: who won the show ?!? ;-)

With the seeming micro announcement of xbox2 cloud platform, isn't Nvidia in the catbird seat should they choose to do their own service? Low COGS.

With all non exclusive games being presented on xbox 1 x consoles at e3, do you think this will effect xbox 1 x console sales? Will people care? In my opinion, it still comes down to exclusive games that determine which console people purchase.

Netflix just announced a gaming initiative. Will this have any impact on the games industry? Could other services take notice and try something similar? Could this be Netflix sticking their toe in the water just to gauge temperature?

Hello Pach, If you were put in-charge of doing this, how would you run E3? And considering the companies whom have left the convention’s show-floor, how (if at all) would you convince them to come back?

Hi Pach, CD Projekt Red won't share Cyberpunk 2077 Gameplay with the rest of us. By the sound of it, it's "Amazing" "Groundbreaking" "Mind-blowing" - it doesn't sound incomplete or rough, so why not show it?

Hi Pach, what's the reasoning behind the announcement regarding next gen Xbox? isn't announcement like that will discourage people from buying Xbox one?

Hi Michael, do You think it was a mistake by MS to mention a next Console and what is the point of MS and EA making a talking point out of Streamingamin?

Hey Pach do you think Xbox going first gave them the ability to show a ton of 3rd party content boosting their number of games shown since their first party showings were very few?

There will be a thread in the community forums.

Hey Pachmeister, do you think Bethesda will be in trouble if Fallout 76 and Rage 2 flop in terms of sales? Will the production of Elder Scrolls 6 be seriously affected, or does the company have enough money in the bank to sustain themselves through difficult times?

Hi Pach, long time fan from the game trailers day. I also support ur other boys from gametrailers easy allies. Did Microsoft just make there last stand this E3? Looking at they just grabbed 5 new studios to create new exclusive content for there consoles, was this done cause they learned from sony and How they were so successful these last couple of years? Also since they just acquired these new studios can we expect these new titles for there next console to help them win the next generation of consoles since sony clearly won the current generation by a mile? As for sony do u think there e3 press conference hurt them this year? They did announce re2 remake and nioh 2 but others then that there were no surprises. that weird start for 15 min with last of us 2 then stop for 30 min to move every one to another room taking people out of there emergen ruin there show case. In ur opinion who won e3 or does winning e3 mean anything any more?

With Anthem, Days Gone, Metro Exodus all coming out on Feb 22 and with Crackdown 3 also pencilled in for Feb 2019 (or further delay) what’s the chance that the exclusive titles get shut out by the multi platform titles? Would it make sense for the release dates to be shifted so a lot of games dont all come out in the same launch window or do they have to be stuck to now announced?

I was surprised EA didn’t show any of the new Star Wars games they’re working on. Vince mentioned that his Jedi Order game is coming in 2019 but is that enough for investors? How likely is it that EA could lose the Star Wars deal after the Battlefront criticisms and not releasing as many games as they’ve could’ve by now?

Looks like VR has been left on the shelve on this E3. How do you see the future of this technology in videogames in the short and long term?

Hey Pach. With both Microsoft and Bethesda mentioning ‘next gen’ how far away do you think new consoles are given that the XBox One X isn’t a year old and the PS4 Pro is about 2 years old? With the games due for release this year and next looking like they are hitting the graphical sweet spot, would new consoles be worth launching within the next year or 2?

Hey Pach. Who did you most enjoy seeing this E3? Other than Siftd’s Jonny Hurriance.

Hey Pach! Since we didn't see some games leaked from Walmart.ca, do you think those studios chickened out after the reactions? (Splinter Cell missing from Ubisoft)

Hey Pach. Having seen all the press conferences what were you high and low points? What would appeal to investors more consistency of delivery (e.g. new FIFA, Tomb Raider, Division) or innovation (e.g. Fallout 76 move to online functionality)? From my prescriptive there wasn’t much of the later, but what was your take?

We're on siftd can I ask those questions?
