E3: Game of the Show

[Soapy]

Vote for a winner and two runners up and then post about your choices below.

Sorry if I forget anything major. "Other" is there for a reason though.

This has been such a great E3 it's hard to chose.

I would say

Fallout 4 as a winner, mainly because of how much they showed, and how close it is. Of course also it does look great. I love the Fallout series.

Runner Up:
Dark Souls III-Love this series so much, I just can't help but be excited.

Final Fantasy VII-Remake-One of my favorite games of all time, and I truly cannot wait to play the classic style JRPG with modern graphics/sound. Something I've been wanting for almost a decade.

I would put Shenmue III almost right behind that.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Uncharted 4.

South Park: The Fractured but Whole.

 

[Havok83]

I voted:

Fallout 4
Uncharted 4
Hitman
Kingdom Hearts 3

Clearly F4 is the winner here but these 4 all had impressive showings

Sorry if I forget anything major. "Other" is there for a reason though.

MGSV! Also Batman: Arkham Knight

Credit should be given to games that actually showed something. I am super hyped for FF VII remake, but they have nothing to show. Compared to say Battlefront, Uncharted 4 and Fallout 4.

I voted for Fallout 4, but I also threw in a vote for The Last Guardian because it looks utterly charming.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Cuphead is probably the first indie game I'm actually going to follow and have a real interest in. That looked amazing.

If we're going the mainstream route, Fallout 4 even though I'm not a fan of that series. That looked really impressive.

Fallout 4
Uncharted 4
Star Wars Battlefront
Batman: Arkham Knight
The Last Guardian
South Park: The Fractured but Whole
Halo 5 (mostly due to that War Zone gameplay)
Gears of War

Those are just some off the top of my head. Lot of great showings this year.

Nintendo just sold me Mario Maker super hard.

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

ffs7 remake and the last guardian, but I think mS's BC announcement was the most killer thing/biggest thing to come out of it.

 

[ares834]

Dark Souls III.

I'm a huge Souls fan, and the original Dark Souls is one of my favorites. So all it took was that CGI trailer to make it my Game of the show.

FF7 gives it a run for its money though.

 

[Iceman]

Halo 5 and Battlefront for sure. Will have a think about the 3rd. This is just based on what was shown as a good number of the games I expect to like more didn't show much here.

 

[Jick]

Uncharted 4, by far.

Tomb Raider and South Park as runner ups. I want to say FF VII too, which I'm really anxious for, but that was just an announcement.

 

[Quasimod0]

I'm going by how pleasantly surprised I was by how good these games looked. Uncharted is my most anticipated game, but I always knew it was gonna look amazing, so its really the third runner up. lol
1. Fallout 4
2. Ghost Recon: Wild Lands
3. Star Wars Battlefront

I also completely loved getting to see some Kingdom Hearts 3

 

[Brother Jack]

The Last Guardian for being a resurrection that's an answer to prayer. Only downside is the lack of a firm release date. Been burned before

Fallout 4 for being such a giant game that broke the mold by having a release date within the year. Bethesda stands apart in that way and God bless them.

Star Wars Battlefront for being exactly what I've always wanted it to be.

Final Fantasy VII remake for its sheer magnitude as an announcement.

This E3 has been incredible. It's cliched as crap to say dream come true, but... yeah.

Winner:Star Wars Battlefront
Runner Ups:Fallout 4 and Just Cause 3

 

[Soapy]

The clear winner for me is Fallout 4. I said it in the main E3 thread, and I'll say it again here; That was probably the best E3 stage demo I've ever seen. It went off without a hitch. They showed a lot. What the they showed looked fantastic. They released a free game right in the middle of it. And it's coming this year. You can't beat that.

My first runner up is Just Cause 3. For no other reason than it out of all the games I saw at E3, this one looked the most FUN. Just Cause 3 is a big, dumb, explosive, insane action game. It knows damn well what it is and it revels in it.

My second runner up is Horizon. I was skeptical when the whole "robot dinosaur" concept leaked. However, seeing it in action really sold me on it. It's a fresh IP with a cool concept and world, and it looks pretty fun to boot.

I'm also going to post some honorable mentions I guess. The first of which is Super Mario Maker. This was going to make it in my runners up because I think it looks amazing. However, I always get hyped for games with level creators because my mind is instantly filled with like a hundred great ideas, but I always suck at actually making them and get frustrated with the game as a result. It's not fair to hold that against one of those that I haven't tried yet, but just know it's going to happen.

My other honorable mentions are Doom 4 and Ghost Recon: Wildlands.

Doom 4, like Just Cause 3 above, knows precisely what game its trying to be and doesn't shy away from it. It also happens to be significantly closer to what I always wanted out of a modern Doom game than Doom 3, which I found to be pretty disappointing.

Ghost Recon: Wildlands apparently has this game structure that I love and that very few games have. Basically it's like Crackdown or Mercenaries, where you've got this kill list, and then they just let you loose in the world to take them out however you see fit. I imagine it's going to be a great game to play co-op with my buddy as well.

Winner:

Star Wars Battelfront - Had that WOW factor that had most people impressed with what they had pulled off. Fingers crossed for a truelly great SW game, its been a while.

Runners Up:

Hitman - Looks like a return to its roots and like their stance on DLC.

Rainbow Six Siege - Looks like great fun and the return of Terrorist Hunt was a big plus.

To be fair though there was lots of stuff on all platforms to get everyone excited about something. Even things like the new Ghost Recon look interesting.

 

[Iceman]

Halo 5 and Battlefront for sure. Will have a think about the 3rd. This is just based on what was shown as a good number of the games I expect to like more didn't show much here.

I gave my last vote to RotR but really it could have gone to any of another 10 games. Uncharted was of course awesome but my expectations were sky high so it was hard to feel as impressed as I would have if it that had been a different game showing the same thing. Some of my expected favourites just didn't show enough to get excited. Doom 4 also surprised me by getting back firmly on my radar.

 

[X Knight]

in terms of games where gameplay was shown, Fallout 4 won for me.

in terms of games announced, FF VII Remake won, just because it has been a pipedream all these years and now it's a reality ( well, if they ever release it........lol ).
