I will never in my life forget the E3 where last guardian got a release date followed by Shenmue 3 and FF 7 remake announcements. I don’t think I’ve ever felt such unreasonable excitement

I genuinely have no idea who's possibly presenting at E3 itself anyway though so it doesn't really matter, just watch the trailers after.

TLG was a frustrating but technically amazing experience, Shenmue 3 was a Shenmue rear end Shenmue game, and FF 7 Remake against all odds came into existence and was good. Besides I was referring more to the back to back oh poo poo moments of “these games are finally being made”

I do like that moment when you watch a livestream and it's "what's this?" "A new game from (franchise)?" "Nope, something new" "Narrator sounds like X" "What genre is this" and then the reactions after the title reveal.

I think the peak hype to reality trough of disappointment was Metroid: Other M. I remember that, after a presser filled with games like Women's Murder Club (not a game about women in a club organized for murdering other people) that everyone would instantly forget they showed that and everyone was like "this is it Nintendo had the best show no question!!!" and then the game came out and it was so so so so so bad

I don’t think I’ve ever felt such unreasonable excitement What about last year when they released the trailer for Beyond Good and Evil 2 and people couldn't loving believe it was FINALLY happening, it was really going to happen! Oh wait, haha, not last year. Must have been 2019. Wait... it wasn't? 2018 seems a long time ago but I gue.... oh my God it was 2017  I think 2018 they had a follow-up where Joseph Gordon-Levitt explained he wanted to steal people's art for use in the game? E3 is a wild loving time.

As much as I liked Twilight Princess the insane E3 hype that game got will never stop being amusing. People genuinely seemed to be expecting a LOTR scale epic after that announcement. Going back to The Last Guardian and Shenmue they were both games that people had genuine reasons to be hugely excited about, but that excitement seemed to go dead as soon as they released. I've never played a Shenmue but most people at the time were saying it was a terrible waste of time even compared to the first two games. And I think TLG would have been a classic on SotC's level if it hadn't been through development hell for a decade and was made with the PS4 in mind. That thing was nigh unplayable when it released and the early stages of the game weren't strong enough for me to persevere through. Which is a real shame because everything about the concept was wonderful.

Nintendo's 2009 E3 was fine and seemed exciting enough at the time with a few huge announcements in NSMB Wii, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Other M. certainly a huge improvement on their disastrous 2008 E3

Crazy to think that was supposed to out this month, I think they said it needed more work but I imagine Mass Effect Legendary coming along had a fair bit to do with it.

Wasn't the Bloodline 2 delay announced before Legendary Edition was even officially a thing? I might be massively forgetting my timeline there.

I just remember being excited cause I thought mounted combat would be more of a thing and good. It ended up being required in what, a midboss you find in the field and one part of the final boss? And it wasn't a super exciting/fun system, maybe slightly better than mounted combat in a gaddang dynasty warrior game. There was a lot about TP that disappoints me in hindsight, but I definitely remember a younger version of myself sad as heck that the horseback stuff was maybe a smidge more involved than it was in Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask. Had a cool final boss gauntlet though--I did enjoy that.

Bloodlines 2's development was halted indefinitely around the same time as the Mass Effect remaster was announced, I doubt the two had much of anything to do with each other.

I mean it's fine for me, I already have Mass Effect and like 4 more Yakuza games to play through so the delay works out nicely. I just hope it's as enjoyable as Dishonored 1 and especially 2 were - the level design in the latter in particular was incredible and the gameplay was just so smooth and easy to get a grasp on the various powers. Which is also why I was saying I wished they were doing Bloodlines 2, a lot of the Dishonored powers seem like they could be repurposed for various Vampire abilities.

I don't know which other Nintendo games with embarrassing stories from the time you mean though, I can't think of any. With Other M it just seemed that Sakamoto's vision for Metroid was deeply out of touch with what people actually liked about it, but that disconnect had never been so apparent before because he'd never had the resources to do so much with the story in previous games.

i'm kinda missing when there was seemingly always a dark souls and a bloodborne and a sekiro in production. There's Elden ring but at this point it might as well be vapor ware. Doesn't feel real even if it is. This in turn makes it feel like there's nothing really interesting coming out. I mean death loop is probably going to be fun but not 'special'. Same with Horizon. I'll complete it then its gone from my mind. I just want another souls game, or a disco elysium. And there doesn't seem to be anything like even rumored.

After the trailer leak a few months ago I really don't see why Elden Ring wouldn't show up at E3. If it doesn't then that'll be alarm bell time.

Elden Ring was supposed to show up at TGS 2020 and then the world exploded shortly before, that coupled with From's general lack of pre-release information on their games has lead to a weird vortex of fans freaking themselves out for months if not a solid year now, when the reality is that this is pretty standard for From games. That said yeah, if it doesn't show up during the next few months here - E3 et al, TGS, Gamescom - something might be up on the dev end.
