Anticipation is key

E3 is the world’s biggest gaming event, demonstrating gameplay for upcoming games and usually unveiling never seen before footage. As there are a lot of anticipated games coming out every year, it is safe to assume that E3 is the place where most people get on board the hype train.

The venue not only unveils new games or gives some more exposure to existing ones, it also unveils new platforms in the gaming world, such as new VR headsets or the future iterations of consoles.

Because of all of this, E3 generates a lot of hype as visitors may try out its gaming demos and new consoles and view video game footage before anyone else.
