E For All: Sony, Nintendo, G4, and limits on noise and the booh-tay
Gamasutra received details on IDG Entertainment‘s E For All (can we get to calling it E4 sooner or later? Saves on the keystrokes) that shows how the post-E3 is shaping up to the legacy of its predecessor. Never did the phrase “Meet the new boss; same as the old boss” ring any more true: heading up E For All for IDG is Mary Dolaher, previously operations head for E3.
And to that, as so far as Gamasutra had received updated info from IDG (as of March 6), E For All shall feature (subject to change):
- Currently, Sony’s and Nintendo‘s booth presences in E For All, while considerable, will actually be a tad or two smaller than their E3 presence, because the main show floor is limited to the LA Convention Center’s South Hall (nothing mentioned for Microsoft; we assume that IDG is still receiving details from Redmond about that)
- Other booths include Future Publishing, G4, DirecTV, and the World Series of Video Games Tournament.
- Noise caps are being enforced: nothing above 85 decibels, just like in previous E3.
- Also like in previous E3s: “family friendly fare” that prohibits full or partial nudity, “including live models” and “bathing suit bottoms.” No booty calls here either.
