That "first" PS4 owner was so cringeworthy.
Socially awkward + strange "monster" voice.

Or he was having bit of a laugh, and you are way, way too tense? You expected what, practice? It was awesome.

Yep, considering that he was probably super excited at that moment all is forgiven. But no excuses for Yoshida

 

[gadwn]

Didn't notice that on the stream, so awesome! Love you Shu!

 

[Nibiru]

Pretty cool but kind of lame that he did it wrong.

 

[Astarte]

Only thing from the conference that I was remotely interested in. Joey's /v/ thread was also interesting, dude you gotta stop drawing dicks on post it notes

 

[injurai]

Pretty cool but kind of lame that he did it wrong.

Yosh did his own take. It's perfect.

 

[Sadist]

Shu wins. Amazing

 

[AmanoBuff]

Amazing.

Now we really know next gen is here.

 

[Jobbs]

I'm sorry, but none of these copy cats seem to "get" it. Bandaras is *savoring* the moment. It's pure bliss. The copies all look mechanical and feelingless.

I'd love to see your version of it.

 

[NoirVisage]

Is it bad that I find this kind of sad? =/
I like him but he's trying too hard. It's a bit a silly for a man his age to be mimicking internet memes. Where is Kaz btw? Haven't seen him in forever.

I found your comment sad for a ot of reasons, its video games dude, nothing highbrow about it, lighten the #@$#@$ up.

 

[fsckdev]

Of course no one matches Banderas's. It's called acting and that's why he gets paid the big bucks.

edit: But yea it's supposed to be a blissful/savory reaction

 

[$h@d0w]

it was all a bit of fun

until people come in and say oh it's awkward etc etc.


sorry we were having fun over here

 

[Shion]

EPIC!

Why are they all touching their forehead? Bandaras doesn't do that.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Missed the mark copying this time.

 

[Raoh]

LMFAO

 

[Rad-]

Meh. He didn't put the same emotion to it.

 

[RMI]

was only half watching the stream so missed both of these moments. Even though they didn't replicate the banderas pose perfectly, they did it enough so that people knew what the fuck they were trying to do, which really is good enough. It's awesome to see that Yoshida is not just some windbag in a suit, and actually pays attention to the Sony fanbase.

[Theman2k]

well to tell the truth i cringe when seeing joey's banderas live, but those gifs are awesome in the end.

 

[jcutner]

this is how it's done. take note yoshida

 

[NoirVisage]

but that IS banderes. -__-

 

[hayguyz]

they couldn't even do it right. why are they going to the forehead?!?!

 

[Shady859]

HAHAHAHAHAH love it!

 

[SgtCobra]

Nah, they're just busy making games with awesome gameplay.

In short, cut with the shitty trolling.

Awesome gameplay™ ? That made me cringe..


I will get both games but that comment wasn't needed at all, he was just comparing Iwata to Yoshida.. Why so defensive?

 

[Lacix]

they couldn't even do it right. why are they going to the forehead?!?!

Because he has an orgasm in his brain.

( or he realized that he forgot to turn off the oven at home. )

 

[jroc74]

I cant believe the Banderas gif has taken on a life of its own.

Glad to be part of a community that contributes to pop culture. I still say I will officially die if Banderas is part of some upcoming Sony event, commercial, ect. I laughed out loud looking at Spike TV last night.

[CronoShot]

Doing it wrong totally ruins it.

A for effort.

 

[Morfeo]

Haha, Shu is so awesome! Now lets see Reggie do this!

 

[Dark Octave]

LOL!

They can't do it right because they're either stupid or it was their first time trying it. It doesn't take a high paid actor to do what Banderas did and for other people to fuck it up while attempting to copy it.

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

You nailed it.

 

[Hedge]

Hahahaha, he is so cute! This is amazing.

 

[Toxi]

I'm not really taken by the Banderas meme, but this is pretty funny (And I love the above gif that gets the pose perfectly right).

 

[nampad]

I didn't know what Joey was doing watching the stream until Geoff Keighley pointed it out. Him and Yoshida going for the forehead doesn't replicate Banderas well and irks me the wrong way. Banderas move always looks like he is taking a deep puff of some spliff or so. Going for the forehead looks like a facepalm.

Intention: 10/10, execution: 4/10, sorry guys.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

they couldn't even do it right. why are they going to the forehead?!?!

Maybe it's a Japanese thing?

See, Chris Martin can do it right.

 

[Raptor]

Yes, this is how it should be done, the expression first then the hand to the mouth.

Nice.

 

[Cuburt]

Haha, Shu is so awesome! Now lets see Reggie do this!

Reggie: "My body is steady."

GAF: "A+ for effort, Reggie! You're the best!"

 

[Mr. RHC]

And the conclusion:

Hahaha, beautiful!

What a ride!

Oh, I never checked the actual scene, here it is if anyone hasnt seen it yet!

[Smashman45]

Shu is just too awesome. The fact that he did it is good enough. I don't give a crap if it was done wrong. XD

 

[Deleted member 286591]

See, Chris Martin can do it right.

Oh no you din't.

 

[Theeze]

This could have been planned. No way both do the pose exactly the same...I guess they didn't want to risk litigation so they just went with this.

 

[The Omega Man]

Wow this is a good Banderas, extra points for the lips movement.

 

[Nymphae]

This could have been planned. No way both do the pose exactly the same...I guess they didn't want to risk litigation so they just went with this.

Litigation? For acting out a scene from a movie, with no words?

 

[Odrion]

Shu's Antonio impersonation and people's criticisms and praises towards it is like the PS4 launch in a nutshell.

 

[Raticus79]

Why are they putting their hands on their foreheads? It's nothing like the original GIF.

Both of them did it wrong...

I think the overall effect is similar, but they're no pro actors for sure.

One advantage of it not going to the mouth is that could have backfired. A few more rounds of telephone game later and Xbox fans are laughing at this gesture Sony fans are doing that kind of looks like they're blowing someone.

 

[Dr.Acula]

I'm confused. I thought the litigation stuff was a joke, but a lot of people seem to be taking it seriously. Am I missing something?

I was making a joke ;_;

 

[p3tran]

They are doing the "Banderas meme™" guys.


Clearly that's genuine and not at all contrived.


Let's all do it together in celebration.

lol

 

[Daingurse]

Both of them did it wrong...

I honestly couldn't let this go, lol.
