    Presently it seems to be the Game Awards, but that to me feels less complete than E3 was but I can’t really put my finger on why. I guess E3 was usually more than just game trailers (although that was the majority). A lot of them were big demos so you could really get into a game before release.

    I watched the Game Awards for this year a few days ago and a majority of them were just 30 second teasers really. I miss the 45 minute live game & hardware demos. Remember Reggie playing a Wii? That stuff was always awesome.

    Best example I can think of was the 2018 E3 Cyberpunk 48 minute walkthrough. Even if Cyberpunk was a big disappointment in the end, that trailer was fucking amazing to see.
