FFD: What was the best thing from this year’s E3?

1 min read

awwwyis

I feel like this E3’s been the most exciting one in years. The “new” consoles have finally hit the right maturity where we’re starting to see brand new games, incredible games for both of them; stuff like Horizon and ReCore. For many it was a Dream E3; Fallout 4, Shenmue 3, Final Fantasy 7, The Last frikken Guardian.

While it was new games like the aforementioned Horizon and ReCore – along with charming littler games like Unravel and Cuphead that got me most excited, But ME? I’m not everyone – and it’s time for you to tell us what got you most excited from this year’s bonanza E3. Or maybe, just maybe you’re one of the few that found it to be just as dull as E3’s past.

Honestly, I feel like this E3 has made games seem exciting and fresh again, and if anything, has shown that publishers are starting to listen to their audiences again, giving fans what they want, in addition to new things. People may say that Microsoft “won,” or that Sony “won,” or if they’re delusional, that Nintendo “won,” – bur from my perspective, gamers won. Oh, and the marketing and PR people.

There’s been so much shown at E3 this year – but what’s been your favourite?

    Biggest Surprise – FF7 Remake
    Most Anticipated Surprise – The Last Gaurdian
    Expected-it-but-still-Surprised Surprise – Kingdom Hearts 3
    Didnt-know-I-wanted-it-until-it-was-announced Surprise – Nier 2

    DOOOOOOOOOOOM! and Fallout 4. Bethesda knows what we like
    XBOX backwards compatibility was a massive surprise as well as FF7 remake, TLG and KH3.
    But in retrospect the sheer amount of games on show was almost overwhelming.

    I’m impressed with Microsoft’s incredible backwards compatibility. That’s a big one and is going to move a lot of new units (If it lives up to the hype and ability shown)

    Other than that. Fallout4 actually looks pretty cool. But I still feel PC was lacking a bit. Anyone else?

    Elder Scrolls Legends is the most disappointing.

    No Man’s Sky blew me away more so than any other game. So for me, that is the best thing.

    Notable mentions:
    Mass Effect
    Battlefront
    Dreams
    Unraveled
    The Last Guardian
    Uncharted
    Minecrosoft hololens

    I think 2016 is going to be the best year in gaming we have had in a very long time.

    Horizon for me, that game really caught my imagination… I desperately want to know why the robots rule and why we hunt them…

    Fallout 4 hands down

    Watched the reveal like 5 times and squirmed even more from ‘excitement’ ( because reasons )

    To paraphrase and horribly imitate Sterling Archer:
    “Bethesda stahp, my ‘reasons’ can only get so hard”
