This assumes the average person has a choice. Very few people have a PS4 and Xbone. Even fewer will have any type of PS4 and a Scorpio. It's not much of a question at all. For me, I'd probably keep buying everything on PS4 given the choice because I prefer the controller, I have a decade of trophies there, and that's where my friends are.
thats where brad perked up
only when people presenting in conferences fuck up

Damn, this new KH. Say what you want about the fucking story but I'm all in.
Anything interesting happen in the last half day after EA? Been out and about most of the evening.
Don't remind me this was an actual thing that happened today.

Yeah
The best part of the conferences are stuff like that. Or Jeff being funny. Conferences by themselves are boring.

Is this some joke I've missed? This is their actual reaction to Shenmue 3

Yesss, looks like The Evil Within 2 is confirmed. #2 on my 2014 GOTY list.
Aisha Tyler will definitely deliver the cringe for Ubisoft. Sony and Microsoft probably won't, unless they rely on YouTubers as much as EA did.

She's not hosting this year though.
I've never seen such excitement from GB before, not surprised it's for something inconsequential.
I just rewatched their reaction for FF7 Remake and my god, they're whining and look straight up pissed lmao
Sorry to hear it. A substitute host will probably only be worse, though. Good news for Brad and the rest of the schadenfreude crew.

As for conferences all of them have been fucking boring over the years and the information wherein will be out on the internet so having the guys riff on them usually a step up.

I don't know why but giantbomb stream this year looks low energy. And I don't like the new guy.
I'm weed E3'ing but wondering if maybe I should be watching the Easy A's instead.
I think since drew left giantbomb peeked and is on its way out. I still listen to the podcasts though.

Lol poor Jesse. He's an alright youtuber but I honestly couldn't tell if the teleprompter messed up or if he just gave no shit about the game at first xD
And it's EA.
Calm down. Its one day on a Saturday and its EA who's press conferences are usually bad. Granted this one wasn't as bad as others but it was pretty boring on the whole. Can't expect them to have much to say about fifa or madden.

Love passive-agressive comments like this
I'm not personally crazy about FF7 Remake, but it was undoubtedly a pretty big surprise annoucement and it's completely understandable if they didn't care but they were litterally complaining, making snide, overly negative comments and pouting which to me sums up most of their E3 coverage.

Why do so many people like to discredit something that doesn't come out in the next 6 months?
I mean, obviously, if they tease a game for 10 years I get why that'd become a negative, but a year out? Two? Three? Why is that so bad? It gives you something to look forward to, to speculate about, to discuss hopes/fears with friends, etc. I'm not a fan of the notion that a game has to come out so soon or showing it was useless.
Not calling you out specifically Breezy, it's just a topic that I've been thinking out about recently and I'm using your post as a launchpad. =P
as time has gone on i think i don't personally like long hype cycles anymore, i'd rather have the thing than speculate endlessly about the thing, and if that means they get better at hiding the thing until it's nearly out that's my preference overall
like, you can't critically engage with a thing or think really about how it affects you, or how it does what it does, until it's actually out. anything before that is kinda just shittalking, and while shittalking is fun, it's, i don't know, of lower worth to me? than discussion of a game's merits and flaws and methods or mechanics?
like the most you can really say before a game is out is 'it looks like it might be good/bad/offensive/dope, but we'll wait until it's actually out' which is, um, fluff basically

i mean don't get me wrong, the hype cycle can be really fun. i really enjoyed the smash4 train for instance because nintendo were really good at feeding that cycle plus the potential for new characters was multi-universal, especially once they started branching out into 3rd parties and still making crazy trailers for them. but it's pretty rare i feel that about a game.

I get that. I enjoyed Fallout 4's shadow announcement/release. But for big "event" games like a Shenmue 3 or a FF7R, I think there's a place for a big build up. Delayed gratification is a thing, as is building anticipation over a longer period.

I see we are at the "GB wasn't hyped about the FF7 remake" part of this rollercoaster, i honestly though it would be Shenmue that kicks this off lol.
Also until both games are out all of these discussions will continue to go nowhere.
