E3 2015 - Final Fantasy VII Remake and Shenmue III Reaction Gametrailers (GT Live)

[@StealthMaster86]

In the wake of E3's death, I just had to come here to relieve what makes E3 so special.

Same, we may never get moments like this ever again 😢

i feel you; from now on it's just geoff "please wrap it up" keighley events ad infinitum.

[@MajoraWaffle]

daily reminder that we did this to ourselves; geoff has always been a complete hack and we still fell for his bs about being the better E3. now what was the christmas for the video game industry is gone and i'm dreading this future we live in now where we will now only have digital midfests.

Years later, there's still something magical about a grown ass man in a suit jacket and tie, perched on a chair like a bird because he's so excited about a video game. lol, loved these guys at GT and still support them as Easy Allies.

part 3 wont take that long. most of the assets are there, such as the character models, animations. most of the world is done. combat is done, vehicles done. they will probably tweak combat. Most of the work to be done will be cinematic scenes. new areas such as under the sea and northern creator will require a lot of new effects and creatures. the voice actors and such will be working too. but there is no transition to a new console this time. pretty sure it'll be less than 2 years. most development time is taken is planning and building the systems and testing it, such as the combat and the interface for example. they'll probably tweak it but they're not making it from scratch. they also had to build their in house tools to work on unreal engine 4 but they dont need to do that either.

[@SimonvCleef]

Beerlover2007 All old games that get a remake or another title to their series. Were are the new ideas? Shenmue is also too long ago. And half life 2 can't be improved that easily so they can probably leave it for what it is right now. In a way I don't even want a new half life, the first one wasn't even good I only liked the second one. And maybe the last part of the first game, but before you got there it was pretty bad.

[@jaythomas468]

This was probably the greatest 1-2 punch in E3 history. FFVII had a rabid fandom surrounding rumors of it being remade for going on a decade at this point. Shenmue III, while not NEARLY close to the same level of popularity, ALSO had a rabid fandom that had all but given up hope at that point that Yu Suzuki’s sweeping epic would ever be completed. Getting just ONE of these announcements in an E3 press conference would’ve been enough to shoot it to legendary status, let alone both. Add in a healthy little sprinkling of The Last Guardian still being alive and coming to PS4 and you have one of the WILDEST E3 conferences EVER.

[@davidduggan8654]

I still come back to this video 5 years later. Something comforting about a bunch of grown dudes losing their shit over game announcements. Video games just hit a special place in your childhood that sticks with you for a lifetime. Fuck dude.

[@ITrendzI]

For those that don’t know Huber reactions were even better because days prior he was talking about how he would love a ff7 remake and shenmue 3 even though shenmue 3 was near impossible

[@Noobsaibot21]

Anyone else swing by this video every so often (even now - several years later) and just grin like a muppet? It's great stuff

[@Draffut2003]

Yep!

[@rjcripe]

Man, everyone here seems to be trying to out-cynic everyone else. Is it really such a bad thing that grown men can get this excited? Just because you wouldn't react this way doesn't mean they're all shitbags that make worthless content. It's really nice and refreshing to see journalists who care THIS MUCH about video games and aren't afraid to show it--entertainment coverage is called enthusiastic press after all. We're all fanboys at heart, stop being so dickish about it. Oh, and another thing: no one gives a shit about how old you are.

[@molehansman247]

But I did react this way

[@Tamaki742]

SONY DROPPED MULTIPLE ATOMIC BOMBS ON E3 AND THE CONFERENCE BURNT TO ASHES. THE END. That's the story you're gonna tell your grandchildren, people.

[@RedWanderer1]

Whenever I feel down, I watch this video.

[@FrankenSama]

This video always brings me joy. Seeing grown ass men happy about their passion makes me happy too

[@ItCameFromTheSkyBeLo]

Being a "grown up" is a social construct.

[@ChrisMeadows1992]

As a Shenmue fan myself, this never ceases to bring tears of joy to my eyes. Huber is so overwhelmed, so were all of us. This is why video games are so special.

[@ThoraxetheImpaile100]

"World of Final Fantasy is our Final Fantasy 7 remake." *FF7 trailer* "HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!" (minutes later) "Okay, got my composure back." *Shenmue trailer* "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!"

[@grunermrk]

I'm so happy that despite GT being gone this got saved.

[@DaiNguyen-xv4vn]

Hope you know Easy Allies is a thing

[@edmeister4031]

"Ok, we're good." *straighten up some* SUDDENLY: *Shenmue music starts* *fanboy genetics become active yet again*

[@DoggyP00]

3:10 "How did they keep this secret?" Because not even they knew it existed until this trailer.

[@tatitorodriguez376]

Watch this once a week at least since it first aired and will never get tired of it.

[@Tragel102]

dont forget, these guys are still around at Easy Allies!

[@D-Kross]

We'll never see anything like this E3 ever again 😢. The most emotional and impactful reveals ever

[@victorvilchez6672]

Now this is a real reaction. Very tired of so many fake ones about everything on yt. This one is real, not just made for getting viewers

[@bachelorsensei9437]

We have came a long way from here. Cheers to all who're still alive for this. And it has been 2 years since, waiting for Part 2 and 3!

[@Neezy2]

We sure have😂 I remember always looking up “ff7 remake” ever since that e3 just looking for new info

[@sebastianhall4913]

Still coming back to this in 2023 to feel the purest of joy!

[@dnvdnvdnv]

Coming back to this after the launch and still.....no game ever has made the world feel this way.

[@Draffut2003]

Shenmue 3 right?

[@TheDeliciousMystery]

This video unintentionally says so much about the state of videogames today.

[@JohnGoetzGaming]

That they're awesome?

[@argusy3866]

***** Isnt that normal? Why would anyone react that way over something they dont know. Being happy to see something you asked for years and you though lost is pretty normal to me.

[@JohnGoetzGaming]

***** Good thing Sony has all bases covered since they announced Dreams, TLG, and of course Horizon. Don't forget Abzu, Until Dawn, The Witness, and No Man's Sky all coming to PS4 so there's some new IP for you

[@kylevesa2810]

***** I can sort of agree with that. But I feel with this case its more a fact that these two things have been talked about for a long time and requested by fans. And just a week ago when they talked about the idea that these games could be shown was just laughed off like its impossible. I can only think Half Life 3 is one of the last big request games. It falls in line with Shenmue of having an incomplete story. I still dont think will see HL3 but im not as sure as I use to be.

[@skidmc]

***** I d say that s not only remaking, but the same guys can finalize with mature programming what, to many, had been (one of?) the best proof of video games being an art posterior and yet equal to others, realising them into interactivity. Why should the girl seem upset at such a candid joy, is there any aerith jalousy, ahah, we re all ecoterrorists in a zepplin, struggling against a corporate created gmo that went mad against humanity. Thanks japan, thanks nobuo, hope you won t screw it. But you got it all, the stream of life, the story, the materia, the mobs, the music. Those who didn t play it at the time we were puzzled by its polygonic beauty will discover a monument, it s all written, all given.

[@bryanmerritt853]

First FF7 Remake Then one of them said I got my composure back and the shenmue's trailer shows up Priceless reactions

[@kirkowat9751]

This was peak E3, I miss this

[@projekt3749]

I could watch this Shenmue reaction all day, every day. Seriously, if I'm having a bad time I load this up for an injection of pure joy. Lol

[@AndreVasque-s6v]

listen carefully at 6:14- 6:15 someone shouted with excitement WHAT!

Ameer Mohamed It's actually from the conference feed, just before they mute the crowd.

[@mukiex4413]

The best part is it literally took that dood ONE SECOND to recognize the notes

[@Harkness78]

Probably the best reaction video on the internet, certainly the best "video game" video ever.

[@Yezu666]

5 years later, this video still makes me smile.

[@robertbouley7697]

2024 and all these reactions are still so satisfying. More so since the first two games have absolutely nailed it.

[@greywillowgaming2366]

Love watching this at least once a month to see the absolute joy, happiness and genuine excitement from people who absolutely love video games.

[@NegoClau]

I just love how the reaction to FFVII was slowly building up, until the last lettering, when they finally realized what it was... But in the Shenmue III reaction it was chaos all over the place from the very beginning!

[@Fredpheus]

2021 and I still come back to this video reaction in particular, because it was such a magical moment when FF7R was revealed. I already played what's been released of the story so far and I look forward to part 2. 😁

[@rakhaalif8037]

same here man. well do u already played the yuffie dlc?

[@mikoyyuy13]

*KNOCK KNOCK* I'm from the future. 2022

[@Drakengard65]

THIS is WHY i miss E3... It was such a spectacle and something for us gamers to look forward to.

[@cameronparrish7081]

What I always loved about this E3 is that when the betting specials used to be between Huber and Bosman, Bosman bet that the Last Guardian would be re-revealed as his Final Bet and Huber bet that Shenmue (one of his all time favorite series but had long been dead by that point) would make an appearance as his Final Bet (Final Bets are supposed to be extremely off-the-wall, shoot-for-the-moon type of bets that will probably never happen ie Square Enix reveals Chrono 3). Completely unprecedented, not one but BOTH Final Bets were fulfilled in one conference. To my knowledge, both Final Bets being fulfilled hasn’t happened since this even with them turning into Easy Allies. Absolutely legendary conference.

[@Castellionn]

Sometimes I feel sad, then I come back here to relive this moment. This never fails to cheer me up.

[@mohammadhussien1536]

RIP gametrailers im gonna miss you

[@17Haru17]

www.patreon.com/EasyAllies ;) They're still streamin' on twitch. E3 HYPE!!!

[@JorRaptor]

This makes me even more sad that they are shutting down :(

[@NicolasSilvaVasault]

they're easy allies now

[@medontbite948]

last checked, they are still working on it and changing the game play style for the our stratification.

[@SchwickFAFO]

Reinhardt he meant GT.

[@mookiestewart3776]

East allies brutha !!! They still live!!!

[@DaviHorner]

@@mookiestewart3776 And they reacted the same way to sephiroth, watch the spoiler talk with max dodd. It's glorious the mind blow they have.

[@erikhendrickson59]

Watching these reactions now, years later, is even more impactful with the knowledge that FF7R turned out absolutely incredible (especially with *_Rebirth_* less than a month away~)

[@poplar1376]

this video gives me such good serotonin everytime i watch it

[@smashingwarden]

I don't get tired of watching this. I didn't have a Dreamcast at the time, jumped from PS1 to PS2, but I eventually tried Shenmue 2 a few years later. I immediately supported Shenmue 3 just because of Michael Huber's reaction, so he'd get to play the game. These are the type of people we need in gaming journalism, people that are actually passionate about it.
