Maybe because professionalism should be reserved for the CEOs or other suits that really don't give a flying fuck about games. You'd rather watch people like that covering games, go for it. I'm sure they're out there somewhere.

For real. As one of the emotionally scarred survivors of the Dreamcast's demise, I still feel weird about this on some level.

This is one game that will probably truly never happen
Yes. He's been my games journalism spirit animal for years. I caught The Final Bosman when it first started just by chance and knew right away he was someone I could relate to.
If anyone ever tries to do an American version of Gamecenter CX, Bosman would make a great NA division Chief. Not that I would necessarily wish Arino-levels of punishment on any other human being. I'm just saying, if they ever did that, I would watch the shit out of it.

We're all fucking humans talking about eletronic toys, what is wrong with enthusiast press reacting like one of us would?

I listened to Giant Bomb shitting on games I love literally for years. It isn't just FF VII and Shenmue. A lot of us are over it. End of story.
I'm just not interested in watching people dissolve into hysteria because of a product announcement, sorry.

This year is like a talk show with only Jeff as host. Last night they had Steve Gaynor, Frank O'Connor, Phil Spencer and others.
It was pretty fun and enjoyable to watch.

It's "the bodyguard"
Don't look him up if you haven't played the first game.
Major reversal, don't want to spoil anythinig.
Oh. Funny thing is that I actually own the original Dreamct game and I have had it in my collection since 2000, but I have never finished it.

Fortunately no one's forcing you to.
It's a huge fan favourite game being announced and you're bothered by people freaking out?
It's like the best part about reactions.
That was a legitimate fear of mine. After the years of trolling we had to endure from SE, we've become numb to the possibility of a FFVII remake ever happening.
I have zero problems with their reactions but come now lol
You want to stick up for these journalists and their right to be excited for things like normal people but lets not abandon common sense.
Video games really are serious business.
Yeah, I mean putting it in these terms, enthusiast press, their job isn't really to be critics, but just to get excited, so they're doing their jobs...
And that thought/fear spread to everyone, which is why it resulted in the explosive reaction as soon as the word "remake" came up.
Well then what are you doing in this thread ?

"POSTER HAS BEEN VERIFIED"
In the FFVII rumor thread and the absolute insanity of hype that followed for like the next 80 pages.
And then uniting our individual causes through this banner before the sony conference started.
Simply witchcraft.
Typical GAF hype turned into reality.
We will never see a press conference like that again.
My personality is more reserved, so you'd never see me doing something like that.
Still, his joy brings a smile to my face. And all your whining is making me frown.
Bosman, Huber, and the rest of the GT crew are just normal fuckin' people that really love video games and host really popular personality based shows about video games.
I don't know why people actually apparently WANT a huge emotional disconnect between the community and the press. We all grew up playing the same shit, we're all looking forward to the same shit, we're all just as passionate. Hell, they were passionate enough to make it their fucking job. And it's a problem that they get excited like we do???
Totally lost me. Backwards logic.
edit - shit I had that exact same reaction when I saw The Last Guardian and I have no shame in that

I will never forget posting in those threads and it really happening.
Getting on the "Hype Griffen" and us putting Y2Kev getting carried and Bish saying "I told you guys months ago"
Posting in the FF7 thread and seeing Kev post "Poster Verified" and us all melting down in hype
Seeing the forklift Twitter post and wondering if such a thing could be real.
Twas a magical and legendary E3 here at GAF. This thing will be remembered for years
I can understand the sentiment that as journalist you may want to project a certain level of professionalism. But this is very different.
Yu Suzuki is a legend of our industry and anybody who has connection with gaming that is deep and developed understands that when a legend is brought back into the fold and is able to finish his magnum opus, you get the fuck out your chair and you go mental.

It was the music. He heard the main theme.

haters acting like this is a normal regular announcement when for a decade they've been telling us we are fuckin mental if we think we will ever get a follow up to gaming's most innovative and influential flop.
Yeah, my biggest regret this E3. The joy and childishness in those videos, THAT is what E3 and gaming is all about. So mad I didn't watch the GT show.
The same can be said about Geoff and his guests just after Sony finished. They were all like "blablablaa, it was okay, they get a B from me". Like whaaat?
I understand not liking GB for this reason, that's fine. The problem is more with people that seem to want to shit on GB at every opportunity they get. Just don't follow them anymore, but don't start calling them names in threads that have nothing directly to do with them. (Not saying that you do this, more of a general observation)

I'm saying the opposite. I'm saying if someone who reports on games shows some emotion about a game they love, it shouldn't be frowned on. It shouldn't be serious business. They're games.

A pro isn't someone who sacrifices themselves for a job. That's just a fool.
No sacrifices. No fools. Just real.

Watching some of the reactions was great, and it should remind people what video games are about. Fun.
Not all this demanding for 60fps bullshit.

Conference was quite full, presumably they're saving it for Paris or Tokyo along with the Crash Bandicoot reboot.

Has Boyes posted on GAF yet since the reveals? I want to know how excited he was to see the reactions here
Go and watch the Verge streams then. They're all wearing suits (unironically) and there's absolutely no joy in them when they talk about anything other than Apple.
Or Giant Bomb (my favourites). They generally keep their cool and are cool dudes.
