Is there any game reveal that would make or has made you cry?

I got chills when Witcher 3 was first announced, that's about it for emotional reactions.

In hindsight, I should've dressed warmer that time.
 
Project Gotham Racing 5, Rallisport Challenge 3, or Midtown Madness 4.


The OG Xbox was the best platform ever for racing games and so many of its exclusives are now dormant IPs.
 
This thread reminds me that FFXV reveal back in 2013 had one of the hypest trailer I've ever seen.

I didn't had much of an attachment towards the FF brand but that trailer gave me chills.
 
Maybe Skies of Arcadia 2 or a remaster would do that to me. Not just because I love the game--I really love the game--but because I first played it with a family member that has since passed away and that absolutely worshiped that game. Would just be a weird mixed feeling, you know?
 
There are a few that would make me cry if they happen but I'll just mention Lost Kingdoms 3
 
an FF9 remake would probably have me in tears.

I would preorder every edition available, buy any themed console/gear, and take a weeks worth of vacation for it.
 
Persona 5 pv1 airing for the first time was the purest moment of mind explosions I've ever had. You really had to be there to understand the build up of the stream and the years of teasing and waiting to see that this was what the next generation of Persona was going to be

BR2 was Godlike. BR3 was pretty good. BR4 was dog shit.

Mario for Playstation MAYBE ?

I mean I was really sad when SEGA went third party ... end of an era and blah blah blah.

Does "Shigeru Miyamoto dying" counts as a "game reveal" ? =/

See above. They're just video games people, and anyway a reveal doesn't ensure a title will be good. If they announced Half-Life III tomorrow, my first feelings would be anxiety because I'd be fearful valve would fuck up the franchise.

This. I think I'm far too cynical to invest so much faith and emotion into a reveal. It doesn't mean I can't look forward to a game, I just don't see myself having those same "really sad movie" tears over it.

Hell, if Shenmue III didn't do it, I don't know what game it would take.

Edit:
Wait, wait...maybe if a new Star Control was announced made by Toys for Bob. Honestly, though, I think I'd just smile really, really big. And gush about it here.
 
I teared up when I saw sonic mania. I hit the devil's lettuce pretty hard the day of the big sega stream (I worked all day and was pumped for a retro sonic game I was 100% sure wasn't happening) and saw the project sonic thing. I was bummed as fuck. Then suddenly I stumbled on the mania trailer and fucking lose my shit. Like, there's the sonic game I've wanted for my whole life.

I love the Genesis games and was too young to be excited for the Genesis games when they came out, but I loved them a ton. Sonic advance was close but it wasn't quite there. But like here's this brand new sick ass Genesis sonic game that looks fuckig incredible and is sincerely exactly what I've wanted for years now
 
A re-announcement of Silent Hills with Kojima and Del Toro involved would destroy me. I freaked out briefly when I saw Norman Reedus in the Death Stranding trailer because I thought it was happening.
 
Teared up when FF7R was announced. Granted I was in a theater in NYC surrounded by fellow lunatics when it happened so the emotions were influenced by that atmosphere.

Back when Nintendo announced Golden Sun Dark Dawn during their e3 conference, that also made me tear up. Was waiting on that sequel for a long time.

I'd probably tear up at a surprise Chrono reveal if that ever happened.
 
Maybe if atlus announces Shin Megami Tensei V for PS4, Capcom announces Devil May Cry 5, and Sony announces Soul Sacrifice 2...
 
I teared up for the FF7, Shenmue 3 ordeal

I'd cry for Final Fantasy Tactics II, Zone of the Enders 3, and an Armored Core reboot.
 
Not even TWEWY 2 would evoke that kind of reaction from me.

I would probably only cry if they announced FF XIII-4, but not for the reasons you're thinking of
 
If I could cry for a game reveal it would probably be for chromehounds 2.

Since that will never happen, we will never know.
 
A fully 3D console Pokemon game on the NX would give me chills for sure, since it's something I've wanted as a child. Don't think I'd cry though :p
 
Crying? No, certainly not. But the reveal trailer for NieR: Automata brought a few tears to my eyes when the piano started to play the melody from Song of the Ancients. Before the logo showed up, that melody is what clued me in to the nature of that reveal and instead of jumping out of my seat, my reaction was to get misty-eyed that this was really happening.
 
Maybe not quite cry, but Bayonetta 3 or Metal Gear Rising 2 would get me emotional for sure.

Or Okami 2 directed by Kamiya.

Or Devil May Cry 5, assuming it takes after DMC3 and 4 in style and gameplay.
 
Nintendo doing PC ports....

Tears of joy.

On a serious note no. I feel like videogames have conditioned me to be disappointed.. even if a game I love is getting a new sequal I'm automatically conditioned to feel like it won't live up to expectations.

Hype be damned..
 
I teared up at the ending of FFX when it first released.

I teared up at the beginning of TLOU.

I teared up in FFX again, Remaster this time, when Tidus and Yuna dance in the water because I thought of my wife.
 
I haven't cried or teared up, in regards to anything gaming, since beating Kingdom Hearts in elementary school. I feel the hype but it's never as much as some of these people reacting to things and posting videos of them reacting to things. I'm not quite Giant Bomb material either, so somewhere in between.
 
I might cry for a god like Metroid or Fire Emblem reveal.

God-like Metroid being in the vein of SM/MP.

God-like FE being as ambitious and tasteful as Jugdral/Tellius games.
