Devolver Digital’s showcases
In the latter years of E3’s time on this earth, the publisher Devolver Digital perfected the art of spoofing the obscenity of gaming hype. DD’s 2017 conference was easily their best, especially for how unexpected it was to the gaming press at the time. According to Devolver Digital heads in an interview with Polygon, the now-classic showcase came together last minute, but it and its 2018 conference are still incredibly entertaining, even though we no longer have anything like it for the company to mock.
