Most of the gaming videos were announced months before the show though.<\/p>\n<p>But still everyone was expecting the head-to-head match between two gaming companies\u2019 consoles: Microsoft versus Sony: the Xbox versus the Playstation. And, as every year, both brands tried to steal the show and to show off their strengths and the other\u2019s weaknesses.<\/p>\n<p>This year, unlike the previous ones, Sony was very predictable as it had revealed too much information too soon. Gamers were already anticipating the Playstation exclusives like God of War, Spider-Man and so on.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s how Microsoft and other companies like Nintendo managed to steal some spotlight: Microsoft focused on its mid-generation hardware upgrade, the Xbox One X, along with its software side, while Nintendo managed to keep attendees excited with a short and simple video about Switch.<\/p>\n<p>Ubisoft, the French-owned publisher, also created excitement by getting attention in its own way and holding it pretty much throughout its event. The company smartly and efficiently \u00a0unveiled games such as Battle for Atlas, Far Cry 5, and Assassin\u2019s Creed Origins and ended the show with a long awaited game: Beyond Good &amp; Evil 2.<\/p>\n<p>But no matter which company was the most mind-blowing, E3 is not about winning but more about reminding gamers of the pleasure of gaming.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Stay tuned for more fun cartoons!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/exoplatform\/cartoon-of-the-week\/\" data-pin-do=\"embedBoard\" data-pin-scale-width=\"80\" data-pin-scale-height=\"200\" data-pin-board-width=\"400\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Follow eXo Platform&#8217;s board Cartoon of the Week on Pinterest.<\/a><!-- Please call pinit.js only once per page --><script src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\" async=\"\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Electronic Entertainment Expo 2017 (E3 2017 games) \u2212 the year\u2019s most important video games convention \u2212 took place this week and delivered a lot of major surprises.","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":13488,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":[],"categories":[813],"tags":[606,817],"lang":"en","translations":{"en":13487},"pll_sync_post":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13487"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13487"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13487\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13488"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13487"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
