Yeah that's the thing with me: Many of those games I listed were dream games. A sequel to Cuphead? The return of Spyro?!! Ocarina of Time Remake?! These are games that I've wanted for nearly a decade, many which tie directly to the original games from back in 2017 that got me interested in gaming. So from that perspective, I guess it makes sense why this showcase may have left me completely stunned... whereas for others? They're still searching for, as you mentioned, their Wipeouts or Crash Bandicoots.

Even SGF does that in a plain sort of way while the fun things that happened on stage and even the occasional cringeworthy moments during E3 added a lot of charm to the experience that I miss. Ubisoft is a good example in that their E3 presentations were way more fun than their digital Ubisoft Forward showcases. |
I can see that, definitely. That's the only thing I really miss about E3,just how all out and "doing it live!" everything was. It wasn't this super polished presentation which saw higher-ups speaking off a script, rather you felt a lot more genuinely connected with the presenters. That said, however, I'd say its best to move on and look at things from a modern perspective, not critique things because they are no longer what they once were. Can't be complaining about the anime of today because it's no longer drawn with pencil-and-paper, y'know?
