Yes! I was dying, it was hilarious.
What he says he is on twitter: Producer/Creator: The Game Awards, YouTube Live at E3
He is not a journalist he is part of PR. Not saying his heart is not in the right place. Or he is a bad guy. Or he is dishonest and that he doesn't really believe this is an amazing year. But his job is to push those shows. Its how he pays his bills. So this quote from him is meaningless hype like every web site is doing right now. Though I hope he is correct. I will enjoy the spectacle as I sip my kool-aide.

Why is this thread worthy? This guy says similar shit every year. Of course he's going to hype it up and say it's going to be amazing.

Bring it on, Doritos Pope! I'm uncertain if there exists any combination of games on the planet that could add up to the insanity that was that 20 minute stretch of Sony 2015. You could roll out Half-Life 3, but that wouldn't come anywhere close.
Still hyped for the press conferences even if a lot of stuff has been leaked and apparently companies releasing trailers and info the week before E3 deliberately is now a thing, but, come on, there aren't any games in even a theoretical gaming universe your wildest imaginations could think up that could possibly beat the trifecta. Since that didn't give me a heart attack I at least know that no level of hype could possibly kill me.

Our simultaneous love and hate for the man makes almost everything he says interesting. We don't know if it's the gaming enthusiast speaking or the corporate shill.

Aw hell yeah new Peggle!
What in the fuck, i don't remember this. Just saw the video and the crowd was dead silent.

I mean the guy's basically E3 PR at this point, I wouldn't expect him to say otherwise even if it wasn't.
That's the best part.
Guys, it is time.
Whoa, cool model. I think the artist might've overdone it on the wartyness though. Frogs aren't all so warty.
And even when they are, it's more the topside than the underside.
That looks like a frog with acne and a poison ivy rash.
Hahaha

Or Microsoft finally revealing the secret sauce, nicknamed Scorpio, in the XB1.

I'm always surprised at the amount of opposition we have here on GAF against a Crash revival. I've never played the Crash games, so I don't have any nostalgia towards them, but I've always thought it was a beloved franchise.
I also don't understand some people as well. When a classic, beloved franchise is rumored to be returning, why be so against the idea of a revival just because "the IP is outdated in this day and age"? Are you people going to be saying the same thing about Banjo Threeie when it inevitably gets revealed at E3 one day
? Some people are weird.

(crossing my fingers for this year!)
Sure, it's marketing, but neogaf is a big part of it, wether we like it or not. It's the echo chamber the game industry needs to generate the "hype". Remember, neogaf->internet->neogaf.

In Geoff We Trust.
I'll be watching his show all day in Monday, just like I've been doing for the past several years. It's just not E3 without him.

Maybe HL3, but I can't think of anything else. Last year's E3 was mythic.

He's genuinely excited every year though
Why are you writing it as if it is a fact? Don't you realise that people have different tastes?

Hard to top
so much pure joy.
Woohoo loads of games we can't play for who knows how many years!
Hopefully they reveal games which we can actually get our hands on within a year ish.

He's a PR guy, but I'll always have respect for him for the shoutout he gave Kojima (and the implicit diss of Konami) at the last VGAs.
Past E3 was level GOD of awesome (Sony's at least)

Yeah that was a great moment and was the gamer in Geoff just doing the right thing.

Better than last year? Sorry, that's not possible for me. Nothing beats Shenmue III. Absolutely nothing.

Nothing short of Half Life 3 can beat last year's E3.

Pretty sure he says this every year. Regardless, he always gets hyped over nothing anyway.

I've never noticed how awkwardly out of place the girl was here lolHope we get moments like this:

Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
No releasing it tomorrow would actually be pretty dope. Much better than the current "In the year 20XX" state of affairs
So, you're saying there wouldn't be an internet backlash if they said "it'll release tomorrow"?
I might live in another sense of time than most gamers (who are vocal about these things) but I don't think 2018 is that far away. Neither is 2020. I have so many other things happening around me that demands long-time planning that just the prospect of Horizon and FFXII in 2017 is making me giddy. 2016 is already too busy of a year.

As much as I appreciate the guys enthusiasm, and want to believe the hype, there's just no way you can top last year's Sony conference, even combining all the shows this year, the weak of reveals we're going through now, and a surprise Nintendo direct with a full NX blowout, it still wouldn't top that TLG/FFVIIR/Shenmue triple punch of insanity.
I mean those were dreams coming true. Short of Half Life 3, there's only the less impactful Beyond Good and Evil 2, Crash reboot and Pokemon console MMO that are left unrealised, and I realistically only see the two least impactful of those ever actually happening.
Still, I hope the guy is right.

That's quite the claim to make, but y'know, I like the guy so I'll buy into it.
