A guy who's paid to hype things, is hyping up E3. Oh

 

[AstroNut325]

I hope you're right Geoff. I just can't imagine anything topping the 2015 Sony Conference.

 

[Frozenprince]

Keighley is such good people, we really need to give the dude more love. I mean he funds game events and his own E3 viewing out of his own pocket for some shit.

Perfect guy to represent the industry.

 

[Bad_Boy]

nothing will top 2015 e3. im sorry.

you could announce 10 AAA titles and nothing would top it. because they wouldn't be 10 AAA titles that we have been waiting for, for multiple generations of consoles.

my hype levels: 5/10

 

[Nokterian]

They say this every year so i am more optimistic and not going hype or something.

 

[tearsintherain]

Love E3 and Geoff, I'm hyped!!

 

[Nights Owl]

Sorry, but with 1/3 of the big 3 not really being there much at all, I don't think so.

And I'm someone who thought last years E3 was rather bland too. So there's no way this will be better, especially if people think Sony's 2015 E3 was some sort of amazing thing that can't be beat.

Wow, a kickstarter for a game that you guys have to fund, a remake that plays completely different and a game that literally looks as boring as it gets. A+.

Spoiler

These are my opinions, please don't kill me.

 

[Creaking]

Do people really give a shit about Crash Bandicoot

How many times is this question going to be asked before they announce Crash Bandicoot returns and people go nuts?

Spoiler

And then how many times after?

My answer? I do, and the PS1 trilogy + CTR are consistently top sellers on PSN.

 

[...Scatter...]

How many times does Gaf fall for this hahahaha

Geoff always does this and Gaf always has this big ass hype train that crashes. Hard. Every big event.

E3 2015 was just a broken clock moment. Having all of that align at once like that won't happen again.

I don't care I'm riding with the Pope on this one. See you all in Valhalla!!!

 

[Frozenprince]

I mean if Square announces a 2016 release for FFVII:R I'm good.

 

[Get_craycray]

Have I missed something? I saw someone (

Spoiler

Thuway

) reply to Geoff asking if Nintendo will show up at Sony's conference? Or maybe he was just kidding, I dunno...

 

[WadeitOut]

Nope.

FFVII/RE, The Last Guardian, Shenmue? No way.

What if I don't care about Shenmure, TLG, and think FF7 is overrated and FFX was superior?

I'm hyped.

I don't think many people hate him or don't like him they just like to goof on the memes.

Pretty easy for us that don't give a single shit about Final Fantasy, Shenmue or The Last Guardian.

 

[XanaviF30]

Yeah, tell that to E3 2015.

 

[Alienous]

I can't wait for Crash Bandicoot to be announced and the collective realisation we don't care about him that much.

 

[Iced Arcade]

Announcing games that will actually release some time soon would be a good start.

That was my thought as well

 

[JTripper]

Dude said similar things last year and we got the conference of dreams from Sony, so I don't think he's just hyping stuff for the sake of it. Needless to say I'm excited as usual.

I'm personally hoping for a new Sly game announcement if Crash is MIA.

 

[Wishmaster92]

I love these days leading up to E3!

 

[wapplew]

Big 3 make one perfect console together, everyone live happily ever after?

 

[Ozium]

wouldn't be an E3 without Geoff bringing us "lots of goodies"

hype man is hype

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I can't wait for Crash Bandicoot to be announced and the collective realisation we don't care about him that much.

The recent Crash Bandicoot hype is so odd to me, because there were a bunch of Crash games released after Naughty Dog stopped working on the franchise and most of them weren't very good.

If I could think of some developers that could do the IP justice, maybe I could get excited about his return.

Tbh a Crash collection on PSN with trophies is all I really need.

This I'd be happy with.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Known hype man hypes up thing he personally stands to benefit from people watching

 

[God Dayumm]

Sad that nintendo will be nowhere to be seen "/

My assumption is people are hyped for a Naughty Dog crash. If they come out and say "REINTRODUCING CRASH, MADE BY UBISOFT" I don't think people would be that happy.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

My assumption is people are hyped for a Naughty Dog crash.

God...I really hope there isn't a single person out there who is expecting this.

 

[DJIzana]

Yep. No where to be seen... all that HUGE show floor space and not a single soul will see them. /sarcasm.

 

[Valkerionseven]

I love ya Geoff but you hype up nonsense for long periods of time from some insider access all the time. Like Destiny from day one lol.

 

[JTripper]

God...I really hope there isn't a single person out there who is expecting this.

Yeah that's a pretty nasty expectation if people are really feeling that way.

 

[Guerrilla]

Well HL3 alone would make this the best e3 in my book, but that of course won't happen.
What I can see(albeit very unlikely in some cases) is RDR2, TLOU2, New Conker and or Banjo, New Elder Scrolls, God of War and add the known quantities to that of which we haven't really seen that much of like ME:Andromeda, Gears of War, Zelda.

If all those have good showings this e3 would blow the last one out of the water imo...

 

[im_dany]

how will anyone top Sony's Last Guardian/FF7 remake/Shenmue 3 blowout

unless GabeN finally shows us a 3

Well Sony can still show all three so they may aswell go over that one.

 

[The_Dama]

It cant get better. Last E3 was the best

 

[imjust1n]

Ff7RE was the one thing last year that blew me away we already figured the last guardian was coming before they showed it and the other game shemue 3 never played those games. I would say the previous year when KH3 and FF15 was shown blew me away more. Crash would be cool but by now it's already a last guardian to me we pretty much figure it will come back. They need something people love and would have not thought of and bring it back. Nintendo will blow minds with Zelda that's a given. Microsoft ahhh they will talk about slim xbox one because well it needs it and a Xbox stick because well they are late. They will show some cool games but nothing to me that will blow me away. Sony really is the one with the upper hand I'm glad I'm going to that theater thing

 

[Gorillaz]

I can't wait for Crash Bandicoot to be announced and the collective realisation we don't care about him that much.

that's what kills me the most with all this crash talk I dont think most people know what they exactly want from a Crash game in 2016 and if it's even worth any sort of financial investment at all

 

[Verder]

I like Geoff but he hypes everything.

same but i feel hes right this year.

this year will be a crazy year.

 

[metareferential]

A guy who's paid to hype things, is hyping up E3. Oh

This.

Anyway, to have a bigger E3 than last year's (Shenmue, FFVII, etc.) we need some good old meltdown-inducing megatons.

Bring on the vitriol and the hate.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Finally a new Dino Crisis and Snake in smash.

 

[Trace]

RDR2 into Crash into HL3 might top last year, not sure It'd be hard to beat though.

 

[imjust1n]

You know what tho changing your psn name and folders could blow minds just saying

 

[I-hate-u]

If it's not on the level of Nintendo being like, syke, NX coming this fall, look at these awesome games, then I highly doubt it will be as good as he is hyping it to be.

 

[GamerJM]

2006 was great for Nintendo and MS but man, it was soooo bad for Sony.

I was a Sony hater/Nintendo fanboy at the time so the whole thing was legendary to me. It was like a Nintendo fanboy's wet dream or something. The Wii looked incredible, there were so many damn DS games announced. Great for Microsoft. And Sony's was so-bad-it's-good tier.

 

[CountAntonius]

 

[SNURB]

Why the fuck does Crash Bandicoot bring the worst out of people when someone mentions the goddamn name here? Like every damn time. Even in those awesome retrospectives a few weeks back were tainted with them. It's just disgusting.

Anyways, did Geoff actually hinted Crash though? Cool beans if he did.

 

[daTRUballin]

He's been to 22 E3s? That doesn't make sense. Hasn't there been 21 E3s so far? So technically he's been to 21 E3s, not 22. Unless he's counting this year's E3 which shouldn't really count since it technically hasn't happened yet.

Heh, I have definitely re-watched Sony's 2006 conference a number of times over the years! It's hilariously bad.

Seeing Super Mario Galaxy for the first time was incredible.

 

[SuperMega]

Geoff has been on 22 E3's already...So this one is 23! Half-Life 3 confirmed!

 

[El-Pistolero]

how will anyone top Sony's Last Guardian/FF7 remake/Shenmue 3 blowout

unless GabeN finally shows us a 3

By presenting new and ambitious IPs?

 

[Iced Arcade]

The end of the XBOX show we see a trailer of Crash Bandicoot. Microsoft buys Crash IP from Activision and gets insomniac to make the game and becomes a new XBOX mascot. Co-op game with Conker.


Internet completely gets burned down lol

 

[plasmawave]

Every canceled game in the history of video games gets a release date.
