I have fond memories of some of the big Xbox 360 ones where they unveiled halo 2 etc, and the later PlayStation ones where they schooled Don Mattrick were brilliant I thought. More recently, announcing Shenmue 3 and The Last Guardian was a good moment that would have been lost without an audience losing their shit over it I think.
I dunno, I think it’s never good when they all do the same stuff. Nintendo Direct was great, but if they all start doing it, it’s going to get old quick. The Stadia version was just awful.
