3) Capcom’s Booth
When it came to its E3 2016 showing, Capcom didn’t skimp on anything and pulled out all of the stops for its upcoming line-up. Not only were there copious amounts of demo stations, bright lights and large screens to become mesmerized by, but extra effort was put into showing off the company’s biggest titles, using things like a Monster Hunter-themed blimp for added effect. For that reason, it sits as the third best booth on our list of the Expo’s most noteworthy attractions.
One of the main draws of this expansive booth was positioned out front, away from the majority of its real estate. There sat a mid-sized platform designed in the image of a fighting ring or octagon, with an on-stage announcer and big screens to boot. Here, press and fans alike could wait patiently in the hopes of being picked to challenge another attendee at Street Fighter V, while the action was called and commented upon by the hired announcer.
As cool as all that was, though, the most impressive and eye-drawing thing that Capcom brought to E3 had to do with Resident Evil 7, which it announced in visceral fashion during Sony’s press conference. Why’s that? Well, they not only brought the game’s demo, but built a large scale replica of its featured house to go along with it, complete with peeling siding and foreboding lighting. It was large, visually stunning and thoroughly impressive.
