LSD, out!

Three years on, still this.

 

 

Sony absolutely crushed Microsoft at E3 2013: I've never seen anything like it, where one participant attacked another so blatantly - and where, more importantly, that attack paid off so well.

Red beat me to it. There's been a lot of great games revealed at E3, a lot of games I've been hyped for and still sometimes go back and watch that first E3 reveal trailer, but that sony ad was just brilliant.

 

I hope who ever came up with that idea got a promotion, they really did deserve it.

@adamj004 and I were watching and everyone thought this was clearly Destiny and he said that it'd be funny if it were Chief under the robe and surely enough... the last part still makes my chest well.

Red beat me to it  but still I'lll be throwing around a few more good E3: 2013 memories anyway.
 
I hardly ever get involved in console wars and I don't really take a side but because of how much MS was messing up at the time I loved watching them get destroyed by Sony.

The crowd reaction to the prices of the XB1 and Ps4.

Thanks for the responses guys. Good reads.

 

Personally, the best memory I've ever had regarding E3 was the 2014 E3 panel for The Master Chief Collection, Live-Action, and Halo 5... Such a legendary briefing. The opening chants, and the trailer of Chief redirecting the Covenant bomb with the Arbiter voiceover gave me chills, and that feeling of having dreams finally fulfilled did not cease during the entire panel.

 

 

This lead to the juggernaut that was MCC taking control, and myself boarding the hype train. Culminating in the extremely long pre-release celebration where I legitimately wept... But we all know what became of this false promise. It was the first in a series of failures (the first I acknowledged, not THE first failure) that led me on a path diverging from 343's Halo... I just wish things turned out differently.
