E3 really was a massive moment. Shame we won't really have stuff like this again. I miss the yearly cringe.
Thankfully there's still the swathes of other comic, video game, and anime conventions out there to get your dose.
ETA: have we all forgotten about San Diego Comic-Con? The literal largest comic convention in the world that most big production companies use as a major event to announce upcoming projects?
But...that's not specifically about video games?
E3 cultivated an "insider" appeal that not many large cons tried to match. You could look forward to game reveals that you'd mark on your calendars.
PAX has a more indie feel and Gamescom feels much more like an actual trade show.
