Who won E3?

Sony brought the games and Nintendo had a strong showing with Zelda..but...gonna have to give the edge to Sony. Was generally surprised with some of the reveals.

Clear I understand what your saying, I was shocked with the Crash reveal... and also loved The Last Guardian... but to me that was all. Death Stranding just confused and disturbed me... though I did still get excited over what would come next lol. so in short I understand what you are saying but Nintendo's games just felt more fun to me.

Son won E3 as a whole, but Nintendo stole game of the show.

Nintendo's presentation as a whole was a downright failure, but that didn't mean much for the game itself. Of course, they only spent time on one game, but at least that was a game everyone wanted to see.

Sony overall was the best IMO, lot of games, trailers and gameplays with no commentary thing taking time. Wish they had shown other games like Nier Automata too, but whatever.

Microsoft was a pleasure for me because every Xbox exclusive now is going to launch for PC too, and I always wanted to play Forza games.

In terms of who "Won E3", I interpreted that as "Who had the best press conference?" and I voted for Sony. I usually find theirs to be the least interesting, but the game lineup impressed me and there was barely any talking or fluff compared to what Microsoft, EA, and Ubisoft did; just a conga line of demos and trailers that allowed the games to speak for themselves.

As for the games that grabbed my interest...

I liked nearly everything I saw from Sony's conference. The new God of War, Call of Duty: Anime Space Battle Warfare, The Last Guardian, Days Gone, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, and Death Stranding look great. The reveal of the PSX Crash games getting re-mastered put a smile on my face.

I am more excited about the PS4-exclusive Spider-Man game than anyone reasonably should. In addition to it being developed by the fine folks at Insomniac, it looks like they nailed how Spider-Man's movements and abilities should look, Marvel teased that it was the beginning of things to come (a connected game universe, perhaps?), and I'm feeling good about Sony publishing the game since they were involved with my favorite version of the character. I haven't felt this excited about a Spider-Man game in a long time.

Additional Spider-Man fanboy wishes, gushing, and speculation, have been spoiler'd so those who aren't interested or don't feel like reading it can just skip it.


I felt Zelda: BOTW was the most impressive game overall and it looks like it's going a direction I wanted the series to go for almost 10 years. Nintendo's Treehouse coverage was soooo long and there's so much demo footage from other sources. This is both a good and bad thing since there's plenty of details I still have to discover and lots of video to watch, but I feel overwhelmed by keeping track of it all.

I also liked what I've read about the Telltale Games Batman series. I always end up enjoying their games, it's running on an improved engine, and I'm eager to see how they handle their own idea/version of Batman. I hope they include Ventriloquist! He's one of the best Batman characters and he hasn't been featured in anything lately.

I'm also impressed by Dishonored 2. I liked the first game, I'm getting more of that, the story looks interesting to me, and I think the new powers look cool.

South Park: The Fractured but Whole looks good. I like turn-based RPGs, South Park, and superheroes in general, so I owe it to myself to eventually play a turn-based South Park RPG that makes fun of superheroes in general. Plus, it's got PC Principal! You PC, bro?

We Happy Few is on my radar now. When I saw the trailer during the Microsoft press conference I thought it was going to be Bioshock 3 set in the UK and made without Ken Levine. This is not a bad thing; I like Bioshock, welcome games similar to it, and WHF looks like it's bringing enough new ideas to stand on its own.

Yooka-Laylee looks nice. I backed the game, I'm happy with what I saw from E3, and I'm looking forward to play a new collect-a-thon adventure game like the ones I grew up with.

There wasn't a lot of information or gameplay for Mass Effect: Andromeda, but that series has a special place in my heart and I'm grateful for anything, even if it's years of constantly being teased with footage of developers working on the game during E3.

Detroit: Become Human looks like the best game David Cage has made so far and I hope he knocks it out of the park. I'm also looking forward to watching the Super Best Friends Zaibatsu play it given their history with his games.

There was also some sort of 2D Bloodborne sequel starring a girl that was shown off on a stream for about 15 minutes. I had no idea why there was a Japanese guy, some sort of sexy agent, and a 40-year old boy scout showing off the game, but I thought it looked cool even if I wasn't entirely paying attention. I'll probably forget all about it until next E3, though.

Other games that I thought looked good: Lawbreakers, Giant Cop, Scalebound, ReCore, Gears of War 4, and Titanfall 2.

I haven't had a chance, but I heard good things about it and I'm thinking about taking advantage of the pre-order bonus for TFBH where you get Stick of Truth for free.

And I'd have to agree with you. Quantic Dream's games always look good at first and I like story-driven games where all you have to do is push a button or move a joystick, but they've had so many shortcomings and end up being disappointing compared to games like Until Dawn or what Telltale Games puts out. I want to see Quantic Dream get their game right and succeed.

For me, it's Microsoft due to the Xbox Play Anywhere Program
Since I'm only playing games on PC, that one immediately takes the cake for me


Though I do enjoy the conference of both Sony and Nintendo more than Xbox...

yEAwn, Ubizzzoft nuff said, it was either boring or cringe, felt like everything was scripted to be awkward or bad in hopes of it becoming viral or the next meme

XBOneSScorpio4khdstreamboxtubewin10omgwtfbbqlulz left me with more questions than answers and i cant seem to find any answers anywhere with this new fake crossplay and i have the feeling im still getting screwed going to 10 since all my pc games are either physical and older than xbox, from battle.net or on steam and all my xbone games are physical except the online only ones and the forced digital like half of rareware

sony had a great showing, they had a bunch of games, i can see now why they showed a lot of the heavy hitters the week before because it was packed, they never stopped to go hey look at us were microsoft we have windows 10 upgrade to windows 10 win10win10win10win10 be sure to upgrade to windows 10, they had a bit of buildup, short thank you for being here, gameplay, trailers for days, gampelay, every speech was short, it wasnt trying to be funny or attempting to be the next meme or viral cringe video, and for once im actually interested in a cod game and didnt peg it for one until the name showed up

bethesda i agree with projared, it was a combination of thank yous, heres some updates and remasters, lets stroke our huge trophy dick inbetween, hey were doing vr now too, heres some news about our new eso and fo4 dlc, done

i hated that square and nintendo had stuff going on at the same time, luckily square had a bunch of retrospectives and a couple games i couldnt give 2 shits about like hitman and deus ex and tomb raider (not saying theyre bad, just doesnt interest me to watch an hour presentation on the history of tomb raider when i already have them all on steam), watched a tiny bit about ffxv but it was in japanese no translating so pointless, ff12hd was hype, missed ff14 and kh21.6.4.3.66.3.6.54.57.7.4.56.7..r4895738 whatever ill play it eventually after i finish the 12 other kh game compilations i have to get through >.<

nintendo delivered on all zelda, all day, and thereve been a couple times ive looked away or stopped a vid cause i dont want to get too far into spoiler territory, but holy fuck i wanna play it, its like zelda 1 came out of a wormhole and started tearing pieces off metal gear, dark souls, wind waker, and skyrim to make itself stronger, the other games were ok but im pissed at noa for fucking with tms more than necessary, pokemons just got way too many pokemon for me to even bother attempting to play it cause ill wana 100% it and silver kicked my ass even with gameshark and exploits

wish the bloodstained sectiond been a little longer, but i keep stopping the video when that one thing happens so im not spoiled on the demo how the fighting goes, so im withholding a lot of my hype for the demo itself, but im glad bloodstained had a strong showing and people got to try it, and hoping itll keep spreading so more and more people are waiting to buy it when it comes out ^_^
