Yu Suzuki retweets image GT team reacting to Shenmue III reveal.

But a bunch of Giant Bomb people told me that their reaction was unprofessional and childish

Shit,really?

I watched them talk over the Sony conference and they were ok - honestly I think with a large group like that it often devolves into 'who can get a snarky comment in before the others' which can really grind after a while. But generally they're a good bunch. It takes a lot to impress them but that's ok. Shitting on another site's stuff is unprofessional though, so kinda ironic if they called Gametrailers unprofessional.
 
i honestly dont' understand how adults could act like that

Paging for dat C.S Lewis quote.
Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

― C.S. Lewis
These are adult people having a strong reaction on a matter they have strong feelings for. Just think about how impassioned sports fans can get, over things any outsider would likely dismiss as trivial.

I don't personally give two shits about Shenmue 3 since I never played the previous entries, but I can easily ride the wave and just feel the energy of the people who do care about it. Seeing people go nuts over a happy events made me happy as well.
 
Listening to the Shenmue reaction with headphones on was one of the worst decisions I could have made. I will forever associate Shenmue 3 with that and pray for it's cancelation. >(
 
That Gametrailers Clip has to be my favourite thing at this E3.


What a bunch of wet blankets Giant Bomb was..can you guys ever be excited about anything?
 
I watched their reaction several times now, and this video putting it all after another just hyping up more and more, it's amazing. So infectious.

I smile every damn time seeing their reactions, that I'm almost tearing up at the end of their Shenmue reaction in this video.

Both the Final Fantasy VII remake announcement and the Shenmue announcement happened back to back. They sat down to catch their breath after FFVII, but before they could, Shenmue III was announced.
 
The moment when Huber clasps hands with that other guy and falls to his knees is a weird mixture of hilarious and heart-warming.

A person reacting to the birth of their child with so much undiluted enthusiasm would be considered strange, haha,

Really? Huh, that's quite a dick move. The people at GT love games, and seem to love what they do. It's one of the reasons why watching them is a joy. I don't watch a lot of Giant Bomb's stuff, but if this is the way they react to people genuinely getting excited about the area they cover, then I don't think I'll start.
 
They actually commented on GTs reaction? Lol
I want to see that. Got a link?

I'm sure he meant Giant Bomb fans, not the GB crew. I don't think GB would sink that low.
 
No comparison pic from the Giant Bomb ppl? For some reason I picture the joyless fucks looking like that meme with the cat that says no.


They were snarky assholes through every conference. Soon as a video started for a game it was a rush to who could make the 1st joke mocking it.
High school jock shower room level shit jokes too, with them all quickly turning to aplha male Jeff in the middle for his approval of their crap. Eurgh.
GT teams hype and excitement for all the conferences was so refreshing and actually fun to watch.
If you're as jaded as the Giant bomb team its time to take a sabbatical on a tropical island for a few months, coz you're not doing anyone a benefit by shitting on the industry you're involved in.

I never played this series but the setting interests me greatly. I hope an HD collection happens, I think it's pretty likely.
 
Oh wow, this is so amazing. All of this is surreal.

The whole GT coverage was insane. From Huber losing it to Shenmue, to Brandon Jones intense debate with Ben Moore and Ian Hinck over No Man's Sky. This picture just kind of brings it all around. It's awesome.

Yeah, I remember that being a GT fan here was rather weird haha. Now it seems everyone here is a GT fan. Quite awesome.

BTW, is the No Man's Sky debate in their YT channel? Or do I have to mine their Twitch stream?

Huber got his dream.

That's old, not this E3.

Yeah, that would explain Yu's "I'm very sad until I get to make Shenmue 3" face. Every picture from this E3, he's smiling.

I honestly don't understand how people who consider themselves so mature care for posting this kind of thing. You're not being mature or adult when doing this, caring for what people consider as adult things is not an adult thing to do. Seriously.
 
I love GB but yeah, they never get excited for any game.

Their cynicism is also entertaining to watch. I would never want it to dilute the hype of my first watch, but their snark and general disgust at the industry makes for an entertaining watch.

But its so cool and edgy just to hate everything!

Also on a side-note, its really bugging me that almost all shenmue 3 related threads turn into a bash fest be it the game, be it the kickstarter way, be it sony supporting them, be it people overreacting. seriously let it go! some people (like me) waited 14 years for this, just let us enjoy it, nobody is getting any harm from it.
 
It's not often you see genuine excitement about games and announcements from people in the gaming industry really, one of the reasons why I find the crew at Gametrailers just so much more fun and relatable than cynics like the Giant Bomb crew.

GT reacted the same way as GAF did, and it was spectacular. Hype was real, and happines we felt was well deserved.

[GAF posted 430 individual posts in the single minute after TLG was unveiled. That's 9 pages in a single minute.]

Great job GT.

edit -fixed a typo :P
 
It pisses me off so much that I missed the entire live stream and their and GAFs live reactions because my fucking internet fell out. One of the greatest E3 moments and I missed it because of my piece of trash internet connection.
