E3 exhibitors list released

PALGN News | Looking a lot slimmer than last year.

This year's E3 Media and Business Summit will feature just 32 publishers and developers, according to details released to the press today. While all the major players of the games industry are in the exhibitor list, the figure still pales in comparison to the 400 companies that attended E3 in 2006.

Meanwhile, 30 of the 32 companies named are either publishers or platform holders, with Foundation 9 Entertainment and id Software the only independent developers on the guest list.

The drastic reduction in exhibitors reflects the toned-down nature of this year's event, which will take place in Santa Monica, California from July 11-13. PALGN will be in attendance at the event. Here are the 32 companies confirmed as exhibitors so far:

1C Company
Activision
Akella
Atari
Atlus
Disney Interactive Studios
Capcom
Codemasters
Crave Entertainment
Eidos
Electronic Arts
Foundation 9 Entertainment
id Software
Konami
Logitech
LucasArts
Majesco
Microsoft
Midway
Namco Bandai Games
NCsoft
Nintendo
Nyko Technologies
Sega
Sony Computer Entertainment
Sony Online Entertainment
Square Enix
Take-Two Interactive
THQ
Ubisoft
Vivendi Games
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment

I thought the big three weren't going and doing there own thing instead?

Hmm, still should be good still then, yeah?

Edit: Just realised this clashes with Harry Potter 5 opening. Looks like I'll be sleeping through E3

it just feels like one step backwards for me, dont know exsactly why they have restricted the numbers this year, they might stay 'to tone it down' but it just doesnt seem be an reasonable exscuse since you want everything to be hyped up for users and journalists alike.

You guys are going? I thought they made it so only US publications could go?

That was the case at one point. But a few months ago, the rules were changed and non-US publications can now be invited.
