The first E3 was an interesting one. Possibly boring at times, but also compelling in just how boring it really was.
Will PlayStation succeed? Will Sega not succeed? What is Nintendo doing here? All’s these questions and more will probably be answered at some point during this video about a few press conferences that happened almost 3 decades ago.

I was at this show, and attended each show except the two that were held in Atlanta up until 2005, and that was my last one. It was great early on, as it wasn't over crowded as it got in later times. Sadly, as the internet expanded and KZfaq became a thing, almost anyone could attend, and down the drain it began to go. So many great memories over the years, and I was sad to see it go, but it was long overdue, as it was just a shell of it's former self. Thanks for the look back in time.

@@reeyees50 To be fair Doom engine was the only thing PC had to show in 1995, it was truly a miracle in software since it was all done to run in CPU, and even if the game was 2 years old at that point you needed a PC that costs 10x more than a SNES that could also run Doom in 95. 99% of the games that were not made in doom engine could be done in the consoles of that time. people forget there was a time that pc coun't even do scrolling. even when they managed to do it with Commander Keen it was not smooth, and we had games like Mario World. With the release of OpenGL it was where things really started to change, Quake would be released next year too. But the new consoles that were 5x cheaper than a PC like Playstation and Saturn could do decent 3D too. So it would take some time.

There’s certainly some truth to this. “Retro” console prices are a good indication of how they’re perceived by the public at large. Consoles tend to bottom-out 1-2 generations after their launch, only for the retro market to pick up on them during the next generation or two. Cultural factors certainly play a part here, but it’s worth noting how SNES prices stabilised long before those of N64’s did - which have both effectively levelled off now. GameCube is an oddity, as it underperformed from the word go, and is hard to judge - console prices seem levelled off, but the games are another thing. To me, the most interesting “modern” console, is the Wii (worth noting, I worked in second hand gaming around 2016-2018). Wii prices seemed to bottom-out around when the switch released, and while they’re still low, they’re beginning to creep back up a little, and I think we can expect to see that continue. Some Wii games even back then, were a pretty penny second hand, and that roster will probably only expand in coming years. That’s just Nintendo’s line up as an example, but it seems true of other manufacturers too.

My parents were into gaming as early as the mid 1970s when the second generation consoles (Intellivision, Atari 2600, Arcades, and Colecovision were released). My mom was an Atari Arcade person, while my dad was an Intellivision person (for about one week until he got bored, but he doesn't mind seeing what gaming has become over the years since he and my mom were born in 1965, so there's that). And then when we were born our parents bought games that were from their childhood onto the PS1 and N64. My dad still this to day still has his intellivision with the two controllers and game cartridges in the box, just that the console doesn't work anymore nor do the controllers. My mom had her Atari 2600 at one point, but lost it somewhere when they moved to have a family int he 90s, and still to this very day. To me I'm glad my siblings and I grew up during the very early days of 3D gaming (both 5th and 6th generation consoles) as well as the music, movies, and TV shows we grew up in the 1990s and early 2000s. However, by the time the 7th generation came to an end, that's when I stopped buying new games for newer consoles and shifted my attention towards VIdeography, Djaying, and Emulation instead. Nowadays I play all of my games on PC, while sometimes playing them on retro consoles once in a while, but not much anymore. In my spare time I watch videos like these to see what others may say about E3's in the 90s and early 2000s. And I would say for the first three years felt like going to board meetings, while later on became a convention conference hybrid, up until its death in 2022.

So if you ever want any recommendations on what you should check out, games going back in the past, let me know. I could point out quite a few games which, at least in my opinion, shouldn't be missed.

Damn, Tom from Sega almost 100% called the future. Sure there were a few dated statements, but his predictions were understandable at the time. Think about how fast all this happened. The market nearly died in 82 and by 85 Nintendo was slowly reviving it with the NES. Then only 10 years later we have 3D games, digital audio, laser discs, joysticks, voice acting, video cutscenes, major Hollywood movies based on games, etc. It all went so fast that anything seemed possible. From the crash in 82 up to E3 95 the entire industry had been built. More time has passed between the release of the PS3 and now.

Man, remember the turn of the century when everyone finally got their right ears activated? I think the midway presentation makes sense, you have to remember that industry professionals are also members of the public, a choreographed fight can still get your attention. Also, keep in mind that for arcade games, the people in the audience might be the ones actually buying them.

I was there. I was interviewing with trip for a position at 3do. Couple of things not present here. When you walked in, sega gave you a ticket. After they announced that the Saturn was available, every 15 minutes until the day was over they gave away a free Saturn if they drew your number. Also, the big Nintendo thing, besides a playable dk2, was killer instinct. It was the advertisement on the badge lanyard. I still have mine after all these years

What strikes me about this conference is the parallels between the Sony-Sega dynamic, and the Sony-Microsoft dynamic that we saw in the 2013 E3 when the PS4 and Xbox one were announced. Sony had a similar "Presentation" with the sharing games thing that was a joke one clip slide show, as a jab at Microsoft's convoluted DRM that was planned to be implemented on Xbox. Also the crowd going wild at the lower price tag happened at both conferences as well.

E3 1995 is still probably the most-interesting E3 to date simply for its strong historical significance. It signaled the beginning of the end for Sega wherein Microsoft would eventually take their place, and the rise of the PlayStation which is still the biggest major player in the industry today. The decisions made on that day in May of '95 ultimately cemented where the future of gaming would go.

12:03 To be fair, that's where the industry was at for a long time. 2D gaming became antiquated when the 3D consoles and PC shooters really started coming into their own. So it wasn't exactly a missed prediction, he just wasn't projecting far enough into the future to see that it would turnaround and make a comeback. It wasn't until fairly recently that 2D games started making a resurgence again... like, early/mid 2010s or so, when Indie developers who grew up playing 2D games started putting their own creations on XBLA and making bank. That's when the rest of the industry finally started to take notice.

1995 was the turning point from 2D to TRUE 3D. The world was about to witness the power of 3D accelerated graphics like never before; the future was present that year. I believe PC games were of growing concern to these companies because of its innovative software development teams who continue to push boundaries within the computer ecosystem and targeted hardware assets. I seem to remember Gaming Palooza Empire uploading videos of CES 1990-1994 to E3 95 and early 00s in his channel but got removed for some reason (copyrighted music that fit the era). Just on that note @ 23:20~ however: Sony had every right to shit on Nintendo; Nintendo broke off their deal with Philips CD-i prototype perhaps to still gain more assets which Sony felt betrayed even when the Playstation was in production. Nintendo created the monster now already owning a huge market share in the industry.
