After nearly four months, the teasing is finally over.
What's sad is I really wanted to see the event live. Aksys had a twitch stream set up for their AX panel long beforehand and advertised for it repeatedly. But it never ended up working. So I sat at my desk for an hour staring at a blank twitch screen that refused to change (other than the constant spamming of chat).
Eventually, I settled for live tweets and the hopeful thought that someone out there will post a video to YouTube maybe a week from now.
So when I finally read online that Uchikoshi himself announced Zero Escape 3, there were tears. Which I expected of course. I knew I would either cry with excitement or sob with horrible, crushing disappointment. What I didn't expect was a little bit of both. I am so amazingly thrilled that the game I want most--the game I thought could never exist--is finally going to be in my hands next year. I just wish I could have been a part of that moment instead of reading hastily jotted tweets for an hour. It really was a depressing letdown.
The good news is I will definitely be over it by next summer.

7/3/2015 5:26 EDIT: So the re-stream worked! Aksys redeemed themselves and shared the long teased reveal (about an hour later) with the rest of us who couldn't make it to LA. The announcement was surprisingly short and sweet, and I definitely bawled like a baby during the entire thing. I'm just glad I got to see it. And I really can't wait until 2016 now. What a great time to be a gamer!
