My personal best in order
-
The Last Of Us Part 2
I was not at all prepared for that gameplay, the flow in combat and all the details had me hooked from started to finish. The little we know about the story seems to be really engaging and the soundtrack is just perfect, much like the first game. -
Resident Evil 2 Remake
Since last year i have been hooked on this series, after years of looking the other way. I really enjoyed 7 and it looks to me that the remake is going in a similar direction, survival horror > action. The reveal was probably the best moment from this E3 for me. The moment i saw the ps1 controller in the trailer my mind went straight to RE2 remake but it kept me guessing until the saw the actual zombie, Magnificent. -
Assassins Creed: Odyssey
I love these ancient eras. Im currently playing through Origins and i look forward to this. I just hope they keep the animus stuff to a minimum. Choosing your character and dialogue-choises is also refreshing. -
The Division 2
This one is easy, i played way to many hours of division 1, and i still log in from time to time and spend a few days.
New setting and season was needed, changes to gameplay looks good so far. I just hope the endgame lasts longer and keeps getting updated. -
Cyberpunk 2077
I am happy to see this game at E3, i enjoyed witcher 3 even though it felt abit long. The setting is refreshing.
Honorable Mentions
-
Death Stranding
I would be more hype if i knew what i was watching. I have too many questions still. -
Battlefield 5 / Nordlys
I live pretty close to where the story seems to take place, the few trailers ive seen has peaked my interest in this game. Im just worried that the story will feel short. Might try out some multiplayer. -
Rise Of The Tomb Raider
Impressive visuals. I own the first two games, but i havent had the time to play through them yet. -
The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit
I liked Life is strange. I will probably play the 2nd game. This is a nice free gift. -
Ghost of Tsushima
This should have been among my top 5s, it surely was before E3. I lost so much hype for this game after this demo, and i can't put my finger on why. Maybe it was the fact that i saw it right after the TLOU2s gameplay demo, but i just felt odd.
Disappointments
-
Bethesda
To much talk, a few cinematics and almost no gameplay. Skyrim joke was funny, other then that both Fallout and Elder Scrolls just feels old to me. Was hoping for some Evil Within dlc or similar. -
Nintendo
I get that they wanted to show off Smash, but cmon. No core Pokemon news at all? No Metroid? -
EA
This show just keeps hitting new lows. I snoozed out just to be awaken to a Star Wars title and.... nothing else. Also where is NHL and all the new big changes? -
Days Gone
No room during the actual Sony conference? Have they lost faith in this game? Gameplay looked wonky. -
Anthem
The biggest disappointment for me this E3. I played Destiny, Destiny 2 and Division and i was so looking forward to this game after last E3. But what i saw, or didnt get to see really got me worried. I have a feeling this game might be shortlived. So much talk and i still dont know some of the core elements of this game.
All in all im happy about this years E3 shows. If i could improve it for next year i would find a new spot for the PC Gamer show, ban all phone-games and improve the quality surrounding the official streams. Hearing people talking backstage and failing with the audio/video when showing trailers is really annoying. Good Job EZA for this E3 though!
