Cosplay at E3... ?

Anonymous Fri 29 Apr 2011 09:41:00 No.4400693 View View Reply Original Report

This year I've been granted the opportunity to go to E3.
I'm no booth babe, but I would like to dress up.

The only reason I'm skeptical of doing so is because it really doesn't look like anyone else wears costumes (considering it isn't an event open to the public)

Would it be inappropriate to go in costume?

Yeah, E3 isn't a convention, leave the costumes to the people that are paid for it

Last I heard, cosplay's kind of frowned upon since is mainly an industry event now. I could be wrong, though.

Gentle advice: no cosplay

Most, if not all the people in E3 aren't that into cosplay. They're industry and media folks, people that have little interest in cosplay. Go to E3 for what it really is, a chance to see upcoming games and consoles.

I work for a small not-for-profit company :-) It does not involve penis.

Sorry, but unfortunately you are the one that will have to blow a big one to get in to E3 (if its that big a deal to you)

FFF I JELLY

But yeah keeping with all the other comments, don't cosplay. It'll reflect negatively on whatever company/group you're representing while you're there.

Despite what that moron pikminlink claims, you CAN cosplay to E3. No one is going to care.

However, since it's press-only, don't expect droves of tards to care about your random costume either. Just do it for your own personal fun.

I say no to cosplay. The people who go really just want to get the scoop on upcoming stuff. The people who are running the booths really just want people to know about upcoming stuff. A person cosplaying (other than their paid cosplay) will just distract from the two meeting.

I was wondering the same thing actually. I'm going for the first time this year but I'm not going to cosplay. I'll just wear Lolita. My bf said there were a bunch of them there last year.

E3 asks for two of the following:

* Resale Tax Certificate
* Company Credit Card (with Applicant's name)
* Insurance Card
* Business License
* Paycheck Stub
* W-2 Form

You can fake a stub and a W-2 form pretty easily. They don't actually check if they're legit. This is a general ground rule for all industry conventions. There are too many attendees to give a fuck about (unless it's a small convention). The workers at the desk don't get paid enough to give a fuck. Especially when you're picking up the badge at the convention center. It's basically "hurr okay looks legit" and they give you your pass.

It's what I do all the time. Not going this year because work is in crunch mode.

I cosplayed at E3 as well as attending underage (with a faked company and no ID!). The people who give out badges were pretty easy to smooth talk.
E3 is basically a fucking joke now, so honestly do it...and do it well. some magazines and such will probably take pictures of you. I remember I found an interview of myself years later on some Japanese TV show website. It was very bizarre,

No, you dumb fuck. It's an industry expo. You wouldn't go to CES in a goddamn costume, you fucking twat.

CES is a lot more boring in nature. It's also even easier to get into for the general public. The games industry is, for lack of a better term, a bunch of manchildren. Many studios, mine included, can flip between screwing around and actually doing work in the span of a second. It's amazing we manage to do anything at all.

Just wear a tshirt and jeans, the focus is on the games and the consoles and not you.
