What Excited You About E3?

[Guest]

E3 is here, and now we've been through all of the press conferences. News is still coming, but we have a good idea about what's out there.

E3 has never been the biggest PC gaming show, though the introduction of a PC press conference and some special announcement made it pretty exciting.

What excited you the most?

On the PC side, we're pretty excited about No Man's Sky, Fallout 4, the Xbox Elite Controller (though it is pricey...), Whispers of Oblivion, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, and AMD's new tiny 4K-compatible graphics card.

What caught your attention at E3?

Oh man, that Xbox Elite controller... and it works on PC! I'm sold. I'm gonna play so much DOOM with that bad boy.

And that all-black color scheme!

Playstation 4 remake of Final Fantasy VII.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst can't come soon enough. I loved the first one. It doesn't get enough credit.

im excited to see all the new Vr stuff and where it's going, it looks cool and Oculus rift has proved it can be cheap and oculus partnered with microsoft and valve, Maybe xbone compatibility

Also project Morpheus looks amazing but also, 700$, thats too expensive no one will buy it at that price and vr will be gone fast

it looks like everyone is preparing for it too even AMD's new cards Next up is the Radeon R9 300 series which are designed for VR with technologies including Virtual Super Resolution and AMD LiquidVR

This was one of the more exciting E3s in quite some time to me. Fallout 4, Deus Ex, Mass Effect: Andromeda, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Dishonored 2 are all games I will buy at release and that's not something I usually do.

The new Fury cards from AMD could also be exciting if they live up to the hype. Especially since I need a new high end card to replace my GTX 780 for 1440p. The 3xx series being rebrands on the other hand wasn't so exciting but at least it was expected.

For me it's Fallout 4 and ME: Andromeda.

Between those I am more excited about FO4 since it has been a very long time since FO3 came out.

I think MGS 5 Phantom Pain had the best trailer this E3

I had a couple heart attacks here and there. (in no particular order) The Division, For Honor, Uncharted, Fallout 4, Horizon, Mirror's Edge, Mankind Divided, Tomb Raider, Black Ops 3...pretty much sure there's something else I'm forgetting (besides the FF7 remake, for which, taking an huge risk, I might say I really couldn't care less).

And then it came up. Kingdom Hearts 3, with once again nothing more than an awesome gameplay trailer and a bunch of "Now in development" screens. Can you please stop torturing us, Square? 😛 almost your entire press conference was a cold, desolate place until you showed that damned video, and you even trolled us with that silly mobile spinoff.
Make it happen, already!

Fallout 4 definitely had the dominant presence this year, and for good reason. The game looks flat out amazing. It will probably have the most sales of 2015. I really want to like No Man's Sky but it seems such a large scale game might fall short of expectations with only a 10-man team. So I'm saving my excitement for No Man's Sky until I get some more gameplay footage.

Though the game that really got my attention was the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. I've been a FF7 fanboy since the game came out, my childhood gaming memories are all of FF7. For a remake to finally be confirmed was a delight for me.

Kingdom Hearts 3 looks great, even if Square was such a troll about showing it.

And Street Fighter V looks great. Will need to get a new fight stick!
