E3 2006 untitled Naughty Dog game it was called

It was so funny to hear him talk highly of PlayStation and Resident Evil when it was the GameCube that later got what's regarded as the best RE games, with PS2 only getting a downgraded RE4 port.

And then it went to hell

You can thank Ken Kutaragi for all of that. He was really the last true stomp down muthafucka in the business. When he was fired by then President/CEO Sir Howard Stringer in 2007 (internal politics, more people within Sony wanted Kutaragi as the big homie), that was when it all fell apart and they were never quite the same again. He was like a father to especially Japanese 3rd parties. Kutaragi on record has stated that he only had plans for PS1, PS2, and PS3. Not PS4. So a successor was always planned by the 8th generation. It was that he was dismissed much earlier than planned. Sony was very lucky to have selected Kazuo Hirai as he was very close to Kutaragi and had that same stomp down spirit. It would be very bold but Sony next year can make it all right and put Ken Kutaragi's son (who who last publicly was known to be at Bandai Namco as part of the Tekken team) as the next head of PlayStation.

it comes and goes for me.

I used to quote this bit at my first job at Wendy’s. “I drink your frosty…I drink it up…EVERYDAY…I drink the frosty from Wendy’s on Jensen and First”

First Metal Gear was PS1 exclusive

@@RobertK1993 the first Metal Gear was on MSX in 1986 only in Japan and Metal Gear 2 was on MSX in 1990 only in Japan.

@@mrmlpvideogerman I believe it launched in 1996 the first 1

@@RobertK1993 and this is wrong :)

Metal Gear Solid. Completely new paradigm shift for the IP at the time. A half truth but still its marketing at the end of the day.

Man, I really want to find pac man world 2 footage

agreed

Bullcrap. 3 is easily the best one.

​@@HBarnill 3 has the best story, but 5 has the best gameplay for me. All in all, I do prefer 3 over 5 but only slightly.

Agreed! What a fantastic time and game, wish for a remake or at least the series to be brought back correctly.

Awesome did you get to try a lot of games? or was there a long lineup?

@@MrNis750 Unfortunately, no. I didn't get anything like that. I just got tickets to E3 for helping out with the press conference, which was considered part of the E3 umbrella but not the actual exhibition. And at E3 all you really get to do is wander around and play games and game demos, or watch demo videos. There are a few talks you can attend, but not very many are open to people without special passes. There might have been something somewhere letting you win a game or get some other prize, but I didn't see anything. I played some Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy X, SOCOM, Star Fox Adventures, and a lot of Smash Bros Melee. Probably a few other games.

@@systemafunk Nice! it must have been awesome to be there with all the cool games they showed. what a year for Nintendo,Sony and Microsoft.

Quite amazing! Thank you for sharing your history with E3 2001, really adds to this historic footage.

who cares

Same

Lol Broadband was barely a thing let alone streaming. This is a show for the press and investors.primarily the latter as could be cleared by the content of the presentation

No.

Lmao 2001? Streaming? Iirc kazaa or limewire was the way to torrent during this time and one measly 3-5mb song would take hours if not days on net zero/AOL dial up. God help me...those were very dark and scary times.

It was recorded and the uploaded with a vcr to usb I believe 😂

Kid, internet wasn't the huge thing it is now.

Got it bundled with my PS2 back then. Nostalgic for sure.

I actually kinda enjoyed it, but damn was it a rude awakening for Square and Sony when it bombed at the box office.
