| Absolutely not. I had a lot of fun in the build-up to E3, getting all hyped up and talking about it with friends and family. Yes the comedown was pretty bad, but I'd rather have the up followed by the down (and, to be fair, having a lot of people to share the down with) than just drift along a constant web of cynicism like some. Apart from anything else, Athrun, I get positive "vibes" from people who are excited, and negative "vibes" from the cynics. I'm happy to see the posts of those hyped, whereas those who are cynical get very annoying, very quickly (with allowance to people like ZJ who don't say much either way). I don't want to be one of them. I'm not saying don't temper things with a bit of reality. I won't go into next E3 expecting the world on a plate, and be sad when it doesn't come. But you bet I'm going to GET HYPED this time next year. Let's get this out of the way quickly, then. - E3 Awards:
Best of Last Gen.
Best Port/HD/Remaster/Re-release to Next Gen: I liked the sound of Final Fantasy VII HD, but nothing to make a judgement about was shown at all. So, Rare Replay Collection.
Best Indie: Didn't see many if I'm honest. Out of the Nindies, Freedom Planet looks a bit like Gunstar Heroes x Sonic; but I reckon it's No Man's Sky again. Got my reservations, but that scale.
Best Vita Exclusive
Best 3DS Exclusive: Mario & Luigi Paper Jam. Here's hoping it can re-awaken what used to make the component series so special.
Best Multi-Platform: Shrug. Shenmue 3 was nice, but it's at such an early stage. Same with FFVIIHD. And then I'm sure MS showed off some stuff with guns. Ehhhh, South Park: the Fractured but Whole.
Best Xbox One Exclusive: Oh bollocks, I actually have to go check the games they showed off now. ReCore, I suppose. It's got the Metroid Prime blokes behind it, who should be making Metroid Prime 4.
Best PS4 Exclusive: Now we're talking. TLG looked lovely, but actually, Horizon: New Dawn captured my imagination the most.
Best Wii U Exclusive: Star Fox 0, of flaming course.
Best New IP: None from Nintendo this year, so it's Horizon again.
Most Disappointing Game: I couldn't let these awards go by without giving Animal Crossing Party another baw-bootin'. The board game genre is the best way to say, "We're phoning it in here." Special mention to Super Mario Maker, a good game that in taking up so much more than its fair share of time made me hate it more than it perhaps deserved.
Surprise Reveal: Got to be The Shenmue 3 Kickstarter.
Best Company Showing: Looking back, I'm a bit more cynical about Sony's showing than I was. FFVIIHD is so far off, as is S3, and neither's exclusive. Their presentation hid this under well-judged tactical bombshells, although it slumped dramatically towards the end. But MS was too safe, Nintendo were saving resources for next year (putting it kindly), and the others were the others. Bethesda did okay, but no games I'm interested in.
Game of E3: Star Fox 0. It was Nintendo's only big game, and it came at the beginning rather than at the end of the Direct in a spectacularly ill-judged move, but it looked absolutely cracking. A return to what made the series great in shiny HD. Marvellous.
Dishonourable mention to the end of Nintendo's conference, and the twatting about with music and websites rather than showing any actual games.

| I guess it just wasn't the games for me, but I really don't understand all these "Sony won" comments I'm reading not just here but across the whole internet. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Sony lost either. I just think all three were pretty tame this year. Every conference had games I'm interested in and excited for, but they're either too far away or not new. - Drunka's E3:
Microsoft Halo looks pretty but it basically looks like any other FPS at this point, all very linear. Recore I'm into but we didn't see a lot. Ditto that for Dark Souls III. Ditto that again for Sea of Thieves. Tomb Raider and Gears I'll probably pick up and enjoy but I'm hardly chomping at the bit. Lots of lovely looking Indies I'll probably buy and never get round to playing for more than an hour.
EA Mass Effect and Star Wars are games I'm very excited about but neither was a surprise.
Sony The Last Guardian admittedly looks amazing (if very similar to every Team Ico game). Once that's out, I'd be willing to buy a PS4 just for that and Bloodborne. Shenmue and FFVII I guess are good news if you're attached to the earlier games but are nothing to me. Other than that, you've got Uncharted which I have zero interest in and then some indies and third parties.
Nintendo Starfox obviously looks gorgeous and like a proper new Starfox. Sure, we knew it was coming but I'm excited. Ditto that for Fire Emblem. Paper Mario and Luigi should prove a lot of fun, I'm up for that. Metroid thingy I'm sure will be fun but we still haven't seen what Retro are doing and we still haven't seen a proper new Metroid. Zelda Three Swords looks fun, I can't wait to sit down with friends and bosh that. Then there's Xenoblade, Yoshi and Mario Maker which still look amazing but are taking their sweet time.
Elsewhere Doom I'm interested to play, played a lot of Doom 1 and 2 with my dad. Transformers, natch. Still into Metal Gear and Batman, obviously.
- Drunka's E3 awards/ responding to Balla's awards:
Best 3DS Exclusive: I'm very hopeful about that multiplayer Zelda.
Best Multi-Platform: DARK SOULS THREEEEEEEEE
Best Xbox One Exclusive: Recore to the max!
Best PS4 Exclusive: TLG mate.
Best Wii U Exclusive: Star Fox 0, natch.
Best New IP: Haven't seen much of it, but I'm very intrigued by Recore.
Most Disappointing Game: Probably the same as Balls Man on this one, though that Animal Crossing game might be alright once we get a look at it. At least someone at Nintendo is reading my Gintendo stuff.
Surprise Reveal: Umm... there wasn't one, for me. One of the 3DS games I suppose.
Best Company Showing: They were all damp squibs, basically.
Game of E3: Star Fox 0. Of course it is. It might not have been the big Wii U surprise I was hoping for, but it does look like it will scratch that Starfox itch with aplomb.

Best Vita Exclusive Severed and that was in a sizzle
Best 3DS Exclusive: Fire Emblem Fates AKA if
Best Multi-Platform: I'm going with Fallout 4 as Andy/Jay do make it sound cool

Best PS4 Exclusive: The Last Guardian
Best Wii U Exclusive: Star Fox 0
Best New IP: Horizon

Best Company Showing: Sony
Game of E3: I want to say Shenmue III but we only saw about 3 mins of gameplay that I'm going for The Last Guardian

| You'll hear my extended thoughts in the upcoming E3 GNamer Podcast spectacular (coming tentatively on Thursday), but I'll do this awards shindig too! - Spoiler:
Best Port/HD/Remaster/Re-release to Next Gen: Got to be Final Fantasy VII HD. Even though no gameplay was shown, I'm excited. FF7's only major downside when I played it last year was its visuals, so this will obviously rectify that.
Best Indie: Hmm, No Man's Sky again. I love the concept - I hope it delivers. Honourable mention to Cuphead though!
Best 3DS Exclusive: Mario & Luigi Paper Jam. I'm a fan of both series - this should deliver.
Best Multi-Platform: FALLOUT BLOODY 4.
Best Xbox One Exclusive: Um... Halo 5 I suppose, on the basis of the fact I quite like Halo. Wasn't too enthused by MS's show.
Best PS4 Exclusive: Ooh... I'm going to go with Horizon here. Really intrigued by that.
Best Wii U Exclusive:Star Fox Zero. It's bliddy Starfox!
Best New IP: Hm... Horizon I guess, on the basis of most other things I liked aren't new IPs.
Most Disappointing Game: Metroid Prime: Federation Heroes for not being a proper new Metroid.
Surprise Reveal: The FFVII remake.
Best Company Showing: ...tough here. Bethesda, I think, on balance had the best showing. I was really impressed by Sony though.
Game of E3: FALLOUT BLOODY 4

| I typed the whole thing out and I bloody lost it... Take 2: - Spoiler:
Best Port/HD/Remaster/Re-release to Next Gen: Rare Collection I've not played much of any Rare game and a great excuse to return to Viva Pinata
Best Indie: Unravel Probably doesn't quite count but it's the only indie esque game that stood out
Best 3DS Exclusive: Mario & Luigi Paper Jam It's another Mario RPG and that's all good in my books
Best Multi-Platform: Fallout 4. WOW! This game was expected to be good but they turned it up to 111, stunning.
Best Xbox One Exclusive: Sea of Thieves Pirates! Multiplayer! Beauty!
Best PS4 Exclusive: Horizon Did you see this game? Why do you need to read this then?
Best Wii U Exclusive:Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival A genuinely nice surprise in a sea of stinkers. Only Xenoblade X competed, but that should be out by now... Who would've thought I would be into an AC game?
Best New IP: Horizon GIANT ROBO DINOSAURS
Most Disappointing Game: Yoshi's Wooly World/Mario Maker Yawn, I saw far too much of these 2 games that I had decided I didn't care back when they were announced
Surprise Reveal: South Park Was so happy to see this had returned. After hearing they were never making a game again I wasn't even holding out hope for a little bit of DLC, this is more than I could ever have hoped for!
Best Company Showing: Bethesda Consistent, excellent quality where even the MOBA didn't send to me to sleep.
Game of E3: Fallout 4Wow

Nintendo likes to talk about games coming over the next 12 months. Sony has no such qualms. As such, this year when neither had a whole bunch to show off over that period, Sony had the better conference. Bethesda arguably had the most consistently high-quality conference, with things that are actually coming out. But even if/when I pick up a PS4, I still won't be interested in Fallout 4 or Doom, so it wasn't for me. |

I'm not saying don't temper things with a bit of reality. I won't go into next E3 expecting the world on a plate, and be sad when it doesn't come. But you bet I'm going to GET HYPED this time next year. I guess I just get annoyed when I see people in general fall in to the same pitfalls and cycles over and over again when they know better. I suppose you could call it cynicism, but to be blunt when your every day life is filled with as many downs as mine is you tend to deliberately by cynical, that way there's nothing to come down from if something ends up naff as hell, and if it happens to be great like Sony's conference then all the better. Basically I guess I just believe in assuming the worst will happen in every part of life and preparing for it is all. I seem to be one of the few people around at the moment not particulalrly phased by ninty's direct so I'd say it worked a little at least. - E3 ratings and stuff:
Best Port/HD/Remaster/Re-release to Next Gen: Rare wins by default of being the only contender I guess. Best 3DS Exclusive: Fire Emblem Fates by a trillion miles easily, both because it's more fire emblem but also because it actually looks to have a good story this time. Best Multi-Platform: I'm going to cheat a little and say Persona 5Best Xbox One Exclusive: Whatever sci-fi shooter brings the most actual new content to the table. Yeah, I'm not even gonna try to hide my contempt for microsofts systems. Best PS4 Exclusive: Horizon New dawn by several miles, awesome looking game, although I think it could have done with a wee bit less wise cracking from the protagonist when dodging the metal dinosaur Best Wii U Exclusive: Xenoblade X to nobodies surprise, as it has always been and will continue to be until its release. I want to say Star Fox, but if it's anything like its n64 game it will simply be FAR too short to count. Fox'll be good, but odds are it'll be an 8/10 game compared to Xenoblade's 10/10 Best New IP: No Man's Sky, fresh, intriguing, and what appears to be an exquisite blend of sci-fi and fantasy Most Disappointing Game: Idol Championships feat. Fire Emblem Cosplay, I could give this to Mario Maker without any trouble (especially given Nintendo wasted so much time on the thing) but ICxFE continues to disappoint on every single showing despite how amazing the premise of blending two of the most hardcore j/srpg franchises could actually be. To be blunt, I had expectations of this game, I never had any for Mario Maker. And no, I no longer think even calling it Persona applies, ICxFE has surpassed that series more cringe-worthy stuff by several miles as of now. Surprise Reveal: Final Fantasy VII Remake, especially after square's masterful trolling last year with the port, seeing them bring an actual remake to the table left me a little stunned, not gonna lie. Best Company Showing: Sony brought the games, they brought the innovation, they brought the vision for the future, and they brought the hype. Sony win this by a mile or a thousand miles. Game of E3: I'm seriously torn between Xenoblade X and No Man's Sky, I'm gonna have to give it to the former because I know that game's going to be amazing while I still don't really know much about No Man's Sky.
Overall a surprisingly excellent e3, sony really brought the big guns out and stole the show with a bunch of fresh and intriguing games. It seems that this generation has finally started to bear some fruit, and I for one am looking forward to seeing how those fruits turn out. Might even have to grab a ps4 next year if some of the games shown start releasing. Nintendo were alas shoddy, but they have one seriously poor e3 per generation of their systems and this was due so I'm not particularly bothered. It's an inevitability when a system is almost exclusively supported by one company, you're gonna hit the part of the dev cycle where nothing is really ready to show off. This was that part of the cycle. On that note I actually have a gut feeling that Zelda U was omitted not because it isn't ready, but because they knew the 3ds game would look awful in comparison. Just a hunch. |

This is a thing to remember. I even said that it was likely in my predictions for this year. |

| Actually now that you mention predictions, that brings up my favourite part of e3: seeing how close to the money we were! - Spoiler:

Seems most of my guesses that were wrong were for the better, although I'm a little surprised at how on the mark my microsoft ones were. Square were the surprise completely defying my expectations and announcing a ton of good stuff, Sony as well.

| Okay, let's give that a go: - Likely to happen:
5. The Great Ace Attorney - Even a hint of a translation of this would be lapped up by me. Not so much of a certainty as the others below, not in English; but I'm struggling for options here. Not a sniff.4. Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem - Much hated around these parts, I'm just happy to be getting another Wii U JRPG with high production values. Although I now hate it too!3. Western release date for XCX - Might be announced after the big Direct, as it's not really front page news. Is it quite sad that my third-most anticipated almost-certainty is a translation date? Yes, yes it is. Narrowed down, no specific date.2. SSB4 DLC - I reckon MK8's had its time in the spotlight (although potential F-Zero DLC might be a decent shout), and that SSB4 is almost certain to get a new character or two unveiled. Is it quite sad that my second-most anticipated almost-certainty is paid DLC? Yes, yes it is. Exactly two.1. Star Fox U - Even if it turns out to be a Shigsy toybox, that's no bad thing. Less a Shigsy toy box, more exactly what we wanted.
- Not infeasible:
5. 2D (or 2.5D) Metroid - I'm keener on the more Prime-like options, but I'd love a Metroidvania of any form. HAHAHAHA.4. Rhythm Heaven - About time this series got another outing. It came out on the Wii in its last year of life - could it be time for Rhythm Heaven 3D? No sign of a western release. Shame, that.3. All-new big IPs - Nintendo did it last year with Splatoon. Arguably, they did it in 2012, by finishing off with Nintendo Land (fatally). I'd love to see them do it again. Not this time around.2. Metroid Prime 5 - Please, Retro. Please. No, that travesty does not count.1. Wii U Mario RPG - Some people seem to think it's time for another Paper Mario. We've had a 3DS Paper Mario - why not a Wii U Mario & Luigi? Or a follow-up to Seven Stars, announced simultaneously in the Square and Nintendo presentations? PMU is more likely, but so long as they go back to basics, I'm up for that. I specified Wii U. Nope.
- Yeah, no:
5. NX - Nintendo double-back on themselves and reveal the NX. Ideally it's a 3DS successor, but I'd just like that debate killed off. 4. Mother 4 - C'mon Nintendo. Send the 3DS out on a high. 3. Ice Climbers U - Failing that, Kid Icarus U. 2. Free-roaming 3D Mario - Failing that, Super Mario 64 HD. 1. Zelda U - Nintendo double-back on themselves again and show off a world that impresses not just in scope, but in concentration of stuff to do.
These were more wishes than predictions, so it isn't surprising that the travesty only scored 3.5/15. |

| My speculation results! - Spoiler:
1. New Metroid Prime. Retro's up to something... I hope it's something like this. NOT THIS WAY THOUGH. NOT THIS WAY.2. Another couple of Smash 4 character announcements. I'm interested to see if the two rumoured characters from the data mining done after the last patch pop up. And it was those two!3. Mother 3 Western release. PLEASE NINTENDO. Well, we got a Mother game, just the wrong one. Maybe next year...4. F-Zero. I'd love to see it, even if it's actually probably less likely than Mother 3 getting a Western release. Nope.5. Reggie to go on murderous spree clutching a Power Glove adorned with Pokemon evolutionary stones, Avengers flown in to Los Angeles to deal with Reggie. Hulk and Reggie clash in the glorious finale amidst a burning Microsoft conference. Iwata laughs in repsonse. This happened, right? That's what they closed E3 with, right? It was this instead of anything disappointing, RIGHT?!

A sequel to a dreamcast game which is definitely going to disappoint? A game that was last shown 8 years ago or whatever but still looks a) exactly the same as it did and b) exactly the same as the two previous Ico games. Don't get me wrong, TLG and FFVII are games I'll probably play and love, but they're not E3 winners in my book even if they were going to release before the heat death of the universe. Then they ended on Bland McGruff and the repetitive manshoot 4. |

| By all accounts it was a shoddy ending. Maybe I'd have been more keen on the ND if I hadn't watched it in real time too.
And obviously it's personal taste! There's no (or very little) objectivity with video games. When I said "better" above, that's my personal opinion, albeit apparently that of a lot of others too (but that means nothing - a lot of people think that Big Brother is entertaining television). I'm up for CloudAeris Kingdom, Watch_dog, and Totally Not Monster Hunter, but if others aren't, that's fair enough!
However, while we're saying that everything's subjective, at the same time, you can't say that Shenmue 3 will definitely disappoint. We just have no idea yet. |

| Also Sony has lots of other Jap stuff coming that Balla will likely like eg Persona 5 (yes its on PS3 but can't see Balla buying a PS3), so it's down to taste.
I don't get the Uncharted comments Drunkas as have you played number 2 and you say you might pick up Rise of the Tomb Raider which we joked in the Skype chat looked a lot like Uncharted 2 and Tomb Raider 2013 did take a lot of influence from the Uncharted series which od course did take confluence from Indiana Jones & the Old Tomb Raiders.
You know Sony did well when the X-Bot IGN Staff are saying Sony won E3. |

Seems most of my guesses that were wrong were for the better, although I'm a little surprised at how on the mark my microsoft ones were. Square were the surprise completely defying my expectations and announcing a ton of good stuff, Sony as well. Gears of War 4 Closed MS so you can your self a Oh is that so? I'll admit I didn't quiet make it all the way through Microsofts conference. Thanks for the heads up, I'll rectify my mistake immediately. |

| I've tried to play all three Uncharteds and found them to be repetitive, linear experiences starring an utterly unlikeable prick. At least I wanted Lara to live... - Balladeer wrote:

Oh, I know, but I really can't see anything living up to the fervent clamour for an ending that people showed to Shenmue. |

| I just want a ending more than anything with Shenmue III.
The first Uncharted isn't good but 2 was amazing one of the best games of the 7th gen, I'm surprised you don't like Nathan Drake as he reminds me of Nathan Fillion. |

| He's trying to be a Nathan Fillion, Han Solo, Chris Pratt type but while he has the arsehole side down, he fails at the charm. |

| I like him myself.
I don't know if you guys have seen this or not but this has been going around the net in various way of GT's Michael Huber which might explain a little more why Sony are considered by most the net the winners.
Enjoy, also this was basically me as well about Shenmue and also might explain why Cappa's friend now wants to get back into gaming, if he anything like that in the video. |

| A slightly more optimistic take on Nintendo's immediate future. It's a fair piece, but for anyone who doesn't like one or two of the genres (e.g. JRPGs), there's no escaping the underwhelmingness of it all. |

| It's not looking too bad for me - there's still a few games I'll get in 2015. On Wii U I'll definitely go for Yoshi's Wooly World, Super Mario Maker, Starfox Zero and Mario Tennis Ultra Smash, and I'll have a look at Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Devil's Third and Rodea The Sky Soldier. There'll be the odd eShop deal too, and - in all probability - I'll not be able to hold back on getting the Animal Crossing amiibo Festival if it's priced suitably.
This year's probably looking better for me than a lot of posters on here, to be fair. That said, there's a definitely sense of 'GameCube 2006' in the air after that. Just Dance 2017 would probably get a 40-page review if Nintendo Gamer was still kicking about at Christmas next year. |

| I'd forgotten about Rodea (as it seems had Nintendo). I'll probably pick that up. |

| There's a Harvest Moon game on the way too, that's something I'd perhaps look at if they take it back to basics. Guitar Hero Live is out in the autumn as well - at a discount I'd be up for that as well. Xenoblade is the only Wii U game out in 2015 I'm not at all interested in, to be honest.
Adding to the four Wii U games I've already bought this year (Captain Toad, Mario Party 10, Kirby Rainbow Paintbrush and Splatoon), the possibility of getting another six or seven games over the next half-year sounds quite reasonable, I feel.
EDIT: Forgot about Fatal Frame. That's maybe another I'll look into nearer the time. |
