You'll grow out of this seen it all before phase here in a few years too. Video games aren't such serious business. It's ok to get excited about things you enjoy in life. God knows there is enough bullshit in the rest of my day. I'd like to actually enjoy my hobby instead of showing how cool and indifferent I am to everything.

It's great that you have something you connect to on a personal level, and you're free to be as ecstatic as you want to be. But while yeah, games aren't always such a serious business, as press there are questions and realities that need to be acknowledged before they start evangelizing something, much less jump up and down on their chairs for.

How long has this been in development? What form will this remake take? Is it literally going to be redone backgrounds and realistically proportioned character models but all in the same FF7 perspective, or is it going to instead look more akin to modern FF games like FFXV? And I mean it's not like Square has been on a roll when it comes to the last few Final Fantasy games they've shipped.

Most of these guys have seen this same song and dance for a decade or more. It's their job to be analytical and skeptical about what/how this stuff is being shown, not throwing their papers around a room because of an announcement for a remake not all of them really cared for in the first place.


Like... excitement and interest aren't an either-or thing. It's not like you are either stone-faced and shitting on something or are flipping out in glee. There are plenty of degrees in-between.

Oh, bitch bitch bitch.
I like how Xander said to stop the GT/GB fanboy war but I guess the urge is just too great not even mods threats can stop them.

That GT reaction to FF7 was pretty awesome, kinda wish I watched their stream last night instead. Then I think that the game probably won't be out till like 2020 and wish I still had that childlike excitement about this hobby.

Shenmue reaction is great as well. I have absolutely zero experience with the series but it's still fun to see people genuinely lose their shit over it.

I dunno, there's nothing wrong with being excited about these legendary games finally being announced.

If they acted like that when the product was in their hands to be reviewed then it would be a bit questionable.

Double Edit:

I'll just say that if you, as a journalist, put yourself in front of a camera during a live event, then there are certain expectations and responsiblities that you should fulfill for your audience.

Crazy hype is not required. It can be fun, but it's not required.

But you should do more than make whiny and negative remarks about how bored you are. If you're not too busy being hyped, fine. At least do your job and ask some questions or speculate on facts. Commentary, not complaints.

There's a difference between excitement and cringe.

It's okay to be excited when your favorite team scores the final goal and wins the big game.

Its a different story when you pull out your Tom Brady shrine and ceaseless snap at anyone who dares call into question the flawless logic of the Belichick, because the Belichick is law.

the difference between game fans, and hard core cynical never satisfied games journos. bosman and huber eclipsed GBs entire e3 coverage with actual enthusiasm and acting like fans. biggest loser this e3? GB.

Dude a mod has already said to cut this bullshit out. I mean it seems people have already been banned for it so YMMV. Biggest losers during E3 are always either Ubisoft or people who get riled up about what journos take away from press conferences.

Oh wait...

Is that gif meant to be ironical? Comes off as being disingenuous. For the cameras at best.

You should maybe have opted for those journalists/critics who very obviously try to get box quotes into their reviews.

I may not be a good judge of character, but a lot of the best reactions are going to be real and live. And not scripted. Or appear to be scripted. In short genuine reactions.

You really want them to not express any kind of joy during the reveal?

You can't be an FF hipster and claim that everything they've shipped recently has been poor and then turn around and pooh-pooh the most iconic game in the series that has been dying for a remaster of some sort for over a decade, and it's being given a current-gen remake. This is like the Gamer Holy Grail.

We'll get more details but whether they're keeping a fixed-camera approach or if it will aspire to look like the trailer/Advent Children, this will re-introduce a defining game to a new generation of gamers. It will be very hard to fuck up. The original has not aged well, every fan acknowledges this. Have faith.

According to this thread you can only be a cynical bastard or a hype merchant. What nonsense.

GT's reactions were hyperbolic but hilarious, I actually found Kyle squatting on his chair shouting "you maniacs" more entertaining than Huber.

Giant bomb's initial muted reaction was fine, but then their classic skepticism shone through starting with Jeff - "save shenmue, give me a fucking break"

There is no correct reaction, deal with it. I'm glad I find both their content entertaining.
 
The Shenmue 3 reaction from Michael Huber at GameTrailers is my new favorite video. I think I was the first person in my movie theater to react to it, and their reactions is exactly what I was feeling inside. I just put my hands on my head and froze. I knew what it was from the first note, and then a few seconds later everyone started catching on and the room burst into a level of craziness that I've never seen in a theater before. It was amazing. So glad I drove to Raleigh to watch it.

Jesus that woman is the only one not being a complete fucking embarrassment. It's just a game, no need to lose your shit like that.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with what they did at all! I cried when I saw the playground appear during the FFVII trailer, the reactions I saw last night and this morning made me cry again. The emotions and hype, people should be ecstatic about these kinds of events, not down and cynical. We've waited so long on dreams that honestly seemed like just that, a dream. Miracles happened, let us be excited.

No, a business deal was made. One that clearly excites a lot of people, and that's fine, but it's not a miracle. It was an inevitability that Square would give this treatment for the most important game in their company's history.

I'd rather be excited when there's an actual game shown.

what specific game have i mentioned? they didnt try to like anything, that was the problem.

stop stirring up trouble.

I mean you should actually watch their reactions and see that this is bullshit. Jeff said rad quit a lot!

Hoping Squeenix show something else FF7 today, I'm going to guess we might get a demo of some sort packaged with 15.

Sorry to ask this if it's already been asked/answered, but are there any reaction videos from someone that was actually at the conference live?

Edit: Nevermind, looks like there are. :)

See, I feel the opposite. I find it impossible to get excited about CGI trailers of games we probably won't see for at least two years. When the game is actually done and shipped, that's when I get excited.
 
In typical Arthur Gies fashion, the one and only thing he had to say about the Sony conference was this:

iAOTQOi.png



Literally out of all the trailers that were shown, that is what he chose to say.

It says a lot about his character
