Despite having watched E3 for a long time I don’t remember it all, so I was getting that one meme of the guy jumping in the air and going “TWO” and I had completely forgotten it was for PEGGLE TWO of all things? Getting reminded of this made me wonder what the dumbest (not necessarily worst: dumb can be fun~) game reveals of all time were to everyone. I kinda remember specifically Battlefield: Hardline’s E3 reveal trailer being funny to me and my friends 'cause especially with the score it look as if they were doing such a big heist for a total of, like, 20 dollars. You guys got any dumb reveals or dumb reveal stories to share?

      Only Command & Conquer: Rivals can compete with it on how bad it is.

    Definitely Starfield. It was classic “Emperor’s New Clothes”. I was watching late 90s fps combat (Tribes), 10-year-old face rendering, fractal/procedurally generated nothingness, micromanaged inventories, horrendous churn type progression. I couldn’t believe it. And the seals dutifully clapped.

    All experiences I’ve had with Austrians so far went a bit like this:

    1. Austrian starts talking about Germans and why they absolutely aren’t like them, unsolicited, and for no reason at all.

    2. German is weirded the fuck out, excuses himself politely so as to escape the ranting fool and is imprinted with a very bad impression of Austrians in general.

    The end

    For me, it’s always going to be when the Wind Waker trailer came out.

    Nintendo had recently shown off the Spaceworld tech demo with Link clashing against Ganon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1MrzjeR2NY

    That made its way online and the hype was huge for a new Zelda game after the N64. That demo suggested the Gamecube was going to bring us the kind of technology we only dreamed of. And when it came time to finally announce it… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ7riCXrDxY

    Can’t recall hopes ever being crushed that hard by a game reveal. Nintendo eventually made it up with the Twilight Princess reveal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE2Dc1sx71U to huge applause.

      When I purchased Wind Waker back in the day, I hadn’t really watched E3 at all until then, so I ended up only finding out about the horrible reaction going past GameFAQs forums after the fact. I had just assumed it was beloved from the start with how much I enjoyed playing it (it was my 2nd favorite Zelda for a long time, third after I played Breath of the Wild but TBH if I go back and revisit it I might move it back up). It was a surprise seeing it was actually really controversial!

    Xbox unveiled the Xbox Series X touting its power capability and raw processing power. First game it introduced? Minecraft in 4K :/

    Metroid Prime Federation Force.

    Metroid Other M almost killed the franchise, 6-7 years passed, Nintendo had just shut down the AM2R fan game which was the only good thing to happen to the series during that time, and then Nintendo announced a weird chibi Metroid game that seems to want to be Rocket League. I wasn’t even mad, just really fucking confused like if your boss walked in wearing a chair on his head and he refused to acknowledge the chair.

    I can’t remember if it was for the video games or TV show and I am struggling to find info online, but Ash Ketchum’s cousins and aunt being interviewed in a commercial was bizarre.

    Don’t remember if it was for Sims 4 or some expansion pack but I can’t look at the game reveal seriously. After announcing the game everyone started dancing on stage, taking selfies and pretty much acting like sims
