Riiiiiiiiiiiiiidge Racer!




I'm gonna miss E3 >_> I used to take days off work and watch all the presentations and group chat with friends about stuff as they happened. Plus all the cringe in the mid 00s-early 10s was fucking great!

Yeah we got all these directs and summer gamefest, but it isnt the same as getting a massive bukkake of information at your face for the entire year in 1 go once a year. Dozens of new games, 100s of news pieces, crammed in a 3 day chuck once a year was a lot of fun. It was like Christmas for gamers >_>

Everyone basically does their own Direct now whenever throughout the year. It isnt the same as having them all at once and watching them compete with each other

I liked it in the past and it was always one of those "I'll go in person one of these days" events that I never actually went to. But we have a pretty good alternative with summer games fest. Plus there are other conventions out there if I'm really determined to experience it in person

I remember if you watched through Gamespot you would get an emblem for your account, that was really cool.

But they dropped that feature years ago.

For me Gametrailers always had the most stable streams before youtube and twitch started picking it up. Gamespot and IGN's stream's never really worked and were laggy

Damn I miss booth babes. Remember when Nintendo revealed the 3DS by having like 30 hot models with 3DS's strapped to their waist walk through the audience and let them play it? Good times

We do have the presentations, but they're all editted and sterile since they're in prerecorded directs. We'll never have stuff like PS1 intentionally lowering its price against the Saturn and having the audience cheer, or having a drunk Jamie Kennedy interview a bunch of devs and have the audience call him a loser, or Xbox people fucking up Kinect and watching it glitch out live on screen, or the Unravel dev being super nervous yet heartwarming on stage about his game >_> That's the shit that made it great, both the good and the uber-cringe

There is Summer Games Fest but iirc it kinda runs for like a month? So it's less condensed than E3 was

I don't think anything will ever top Sony's 2006 E3.

Its Ridge Racer RIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDGGGGGGGGGE RACER!

FIVE HUNDRED NINETY NINE US DOLLARS

Genji 2 is an action game based on real Japanese history.... so here's this giant enemy crab.

I know people think it's cool to not care about stuff but it's part of gaming history a lot of good, bad and cringey shit happened at E3

It being gone just shows how much gaming has changed for better and worse

Bukkaje?
Bukkake. The literal Japanese translation is "splashing liquid" iirc, but it's way WAY more associated with its porn slang. Bukkake in porn is when multiple men climax onto someone's face in very close proximity of each other at a rapid pace. E3 is basically that, but instead of semen it's game info.

I miss the memory of what E3 used to be when I was waiting for gaming news as a kid, but that's just nostalgia. We usually get all that news as it comes now, so E3 is kind of a waste.

off the top of my head:
Sony's E3 2006 (Riiiiiiidge Racer, 599 US DOLLARS, attack the weak point for massive damage)
Drunk Jamie Kennedy bombing on stage while hosting Activision's conference
Nintendo doing a Wii Music concert that sounded like shit
Microsoft trying to convince everyone that kinect was good and had all these glitches happen
Skyward Sword not working during Nintendo's conference. Apparently Miyamoto was screaming and livid afterwards lol
Konami E3 2010
Ubisoft E3 2012
Nintendo sending out like 30 booth babes with 3DS's strapped to their waists and went through the audience to play with them
Peggle TWO!

I'm sure there's plenty more >_>
