D3’s are comin’!!!
October 10, 2006
Only a little month away is the first “Danish Electronic Entertainment Expo” – AKA D3’s. Interestingly the “official E3” – the original American Electronic Entertainment Expo – is getting a revamp this year – ESA (Entertainment Software Association), owner of E3Expo, has stated that,
“Over the years, it has become clear that we need a more intimate program, including higher quality, more personal dialogue with the worldwide media, developers, retailers and other key industry audiences.” – Douglas Lowenstein, President of the ESA
And voila – D3 steps in – but will they continue that “trade show” look?
This will be Scandinavia’s first large scale gaming expo, and it will be interesting to see whether it’s a carbon copy of the former E3’s (laced with booth babes) or if it raises the bar and does something different. The program looks to be extremely product orientated, however, there are a few puddles for playing in on the program such as; a “Learning Lab”, for knowledge-sharing and discussion on and about gaming; a meeting with gaming academia and Danish game developers called “New Danish Gaming”, which hopefully will result in some fertile debate; … and of course there is a Girl Gamers section (*sigh*).
The official program will be published next week, and I’ve ordered my ticket – so watch this space for “considerations” of this latest computer gaming event.
