E3 Gets Its Own Honest Trailer

Yes, the Electronic Entertainment Expo isn't out of the reach of the Honest Trailer guys, as they finally delivered an Honest Game Trailer for the show – and it's about right on the money.

The trailer begins with the narrator talking about the sheer excitement that goes into the show – "before they're crushed six months later when everything gets cancelled." Then there's the talk about the questionable smell ("It's like you're biting an actual ass"), as well as its overcrowding, which is especially true this year with 15,000 public folks attending this year. On top of that, there's also talks about spending ridiculous amount of money on "parties, giveaways, knick knacks, and, until they made them stop, a heaping helping of boobs." (Booth babes, really.)

Then come the comments about the press conferences, which are about right on the money when they talk about them being everything from "fun" to "cringe-worthy" (Konami 2010, is that you)? It also mentions celebrity appearances, awkward speeches that are translated from Japanese, unnecessary dance numbers, developers with no public speaking skills, and a handful of trailers and announcements "that would've gotten just as much hype if they pre-taped them and put them out on line." It also noted Nintendo Direct's streak with videos – "if only someone would teach them how the Internet works."

There are also mentions about live gameplay demos (including some "that break on stage") as well as amazing cinematic trailers, which are "pre-rendered tech demos that won't look anything like the finished product", or for games "that are delayed for a mid-decade". Say, it sounds like these guys have been to a few shows themselves.

The trailer is filled with plenty of laughs, especially for those that are E3 veterans for many years, and, of course, it all comes down to "touching a new game for five minutes." It's really worth a watch, especially if you need a break from the E3 hype – and the Devolver Digital press conference wasn't enough.

Check out the trailer above and have some fun – even with the Jamie Kennedy mention! We know we sure are. (Granted, this air conditioned office has something to do with it.)
