Support NeoGAF

[Musky_Cheese]

Can be good or bad. Epic for whatever reason. Maybe you love the cringe. Or maybe it was just a lovely awesome moment. Of course it would involve NeoGAF. E3 isn't E3 if I ain't on GAF.

It is easily Giant Enemy Crab. Really it is Sony's entire 2006 E3. In fact we could have a thread specifically on what part of Sony E3 06 was the worst, massive disagreement and no one be wrong lol. It's aged like fine wine.

Young Kaz

But Sony made up for that with the Uncharted 2 demo


What is yours GAF

 

[jakinov]

Probably be God of War 3 demo because I was super hyped for that game. Read all the magazine scans and any news I could find. David Jaffe and some others kept hyping up how much they upgraded it. That Uncharted 2 demo was cool. The biggest shocking event was FF13 reveal on Xbox. The thing the impressed me the most (at the time) was Kinect/Project-Natal.

MGS2 reveal. At the time it was like something from the future. A true showstopper.

 

[kraspkibble]

Cyberpunk 2077 reveal at MS last year.

gives me shivers every tim

 

[Musky_Cheese]

That and many of the Dance stuff was ultra cringe

 

[AV]

How could it be anything but the GOAT?

 

[Phunkydiabetic]

E3.....1995.....Tom Kalinske had previously spoke at the Sega conference about the Saturn's release in the U.S. and how it would only be $399 and *SHOCK* it was already available like RIGHT NOW!

Fast forward to the Sony conference where Steve Race calmly walks onstage and does this....




....which dealt a massive blow to the Saturn and furthered it and Sega's demise in the console market. Epic.

 

[STARSBarry]

Still one of the funniest points in gaming history.

Still one of the funniest points in gaming history.

Adam Boyes' shit-eating grin at the end gets me every time

What a pair of jokesters.

 

[dacuk]

Still the one and only:

This. It was the E3 of dreams.

God of War reveal trailer 2016

 

[Meesh]

Wii remote unveil.
Mind blown, genuine wtf moment.

 

[EviLore]

It was a pretty awesome honor when Adam Boyes showed up with a PS4 in his backpack and handed it directly to me.

Collection of gifs people made:

 

[SpartanForce]

 

[Rodolink]

When i was actually there and played the wiiu Zelda prototype, the one with the spider.
Before that. The tech demo video of Ganondorf vs Link, watched that video thousands of times

[rəddəM]

God of War E3 2016 reveal.

 

[Silvawuff]

Giant enemy crab and Riiiidge Raaaacer are by far my favorite moments. I also liked that Peggle 2 cringememe.

 

[zwiggelbig]

Has to be god of war 4 reveal 2016 with the orchestra

 

[Jigsaah]

Just because it's my favorite game of all time...it was the reveal of the Phantom Dust Reboot. I screamed like a little girl.

too bad it got cancelled.

 

[spawn]

The entire e3 2013. Microsoft shot themselves in the foot with forced Kinect, always-online console, and making the price $499. That one executive who said look if you don't want to be always online then we have another option and that option is the xbox 360.

[stranno]

Playstation on Playstation Portable was definitely an amazing feature, i spent countless hours playing on the bus.

But, yeah, the Kaz's "Remember that one?" moment was embarrassing as hell.

If prefer Summer Consumer Electronics Show moments tho, lots of Jaguar/3DO "what i'm doing with my life" faces in devs stands.

 

[Javthusiast]

 

[Come On Tars]

GameCube reveal with wave race and link fighting Ganon teaser. I remember reading gamefaqs endlessly and saving the trailors to my comp so I can play them with QuickTime. Might not have been a e3 per say

 

[JORMBO]

This right here

This is the first thing that came to mind.

 

[Gamernyc78]

God of War reveal with orchestra but also the oooohs and ahhhs of the Uncharted 2 demo no one thought tht was possible at the time. The game was just graphically insane.

Thank drummer/singer is fire

Gabe newell on sony stage saying ps3 development not so bad anymore and here is portal 2.

Tht was so well done other devs started copying the orchestra set up with a few other game reveals but it just wasn't that good.

 

[Fbh]

Sony's E3 2015.
I mean, hell, I don't care about Shenmue, and most of my hype for FF7 Remake died before the trailer was even finished because they announced Nomura as the director.

But still, add The Last Guardian being re-announced and just seeing all of those highly anticipated announcements (that had basically become E3 memes at that point) being made in a single conference was awesome. It was like an overdose of those "holy shit they actually did it" moments which are the ones that really make E3 worth watching live

 

[Aggelos]

I remember this on the official PS1 Magazine, describing every moment of the MGS2 E3 2000 trailer
Legendary trailer for the PS2 system that had been released a couple months before E3, in the Japanese market.

 

[Riven326]

The Halo 2 debut.
