Anytime you show a new Zelda I'm going to take notice, but when you reveal it to be open world and show off in engine footage that looks incredible? Nothing beats that

Smash is second not just because its easily the most hyped game this year, but the invitational tournament really sealed the deal that smash is truly a special series and it was great to get so much footage of it.

Splatoon is my surprise of the show, a game out of nowhere that instantly had my brain swirling with possibilities for how I can play it. "What if they were squids" truly a question that sounds so goofy but creates an experience unlike any I've seen before

Grim fandango, what can I say its an all time classic and the fact I'll be able to gain access to a legal copy easily just gets me excited.

Xenoblade Chronicles is in my top 5 jrpgs all time and its sequel/prequel/spinoff looks even bigger and better. The story trailer and confirmation the game will have a full single player campaign was all I needed

Halo 5 gets a nod just because its halo and I'm very invested in its world and story. I don't care if people were ehh on 4 I still loved it and can't wait for the 5th.

The rest of this list is just in any order, they're all games I want but I can't really decide which of those last 4 excites me the most so I'll just leave em in the order I thought of them

Honorable mentions go to captain toad, mario maker, evolve, yoshi wooly world, evolve, halo 1-4 collection, codename steam, and uncharted 4

 

[popyea]

1. Bayonetta 2 - Footage of this game is looking amazing. Both gameplay and graphics look beautiful.
2. Bloodborne - Souls with a new setting. I'm sold.
3. Splatoon - Seems like brilliant fun to me. And the character designs and music are fantastic.
4. Smash Bros. - So much variety. This game is going to be a mega time sink.
5. No Man's Sky - Just can't not mention this game. The trailer alone is so impressive.
6. Xenoblade X - Beautiful graphics and art. I never played the first, but I'm hyped to try this one.
7. MGSV - Love how it looks, and all the quirky features you expect.
8. AC: Unity - Gameplay looks as lame as ever, but the amazing graphics and setting gets me excited for some virtual french tourism.

These are the only games that really left an impression and made me excited for their release. I think the Smash Bros Invitational is the best thing that happened this E3 and really showcased the game and the fan community, which is why it's at the top of my list. It's what I'm most excited for.

I'm also really excited for Bloodborne and Arkham Knight, but knowing both aren't coming until 2015 means they can't be the top dog. That being said, Bloodborne will be the game that makes me get a PS4, whenever it actually comes out.

No Man's Sky was just absolutely gorgeous. The trailer blew my mind and if it plays anywhere close to how the trailer makes it look, it'll be a top-notch game.

MKX and Uncharted 4 are games that I'll probably get more excited for the closer it gets to their actual release. I already knew both were in the works, though, so seeing a CG trailer for Uncharted wasn't exactly hype-inducing. Seeing a few new characters and some actual fights for MKX, though, was pretty awesome.

Finally Bayonetta 2 is something that I haven't watched a lot of media on, but I know I'm going to get it considering I loved the first one. And knowing it's coming out this year and I get a free copy of Bayonetta with it as well is sufficiently enough for me to list it to get a best of E3 award.

[Bazooka137]

1. Zelda WiiU - This was really the largest hype train coming out of the conferences. Nintendo finally announcing an 'Open-world' Zelda game. We have yet to see full-on gameplay footage, but the trailer was all in-engine. The game looks beautiful and I cannot wait for the potential of this game to be seen in 2015.
2. Smash Bros. - Whether it was the adorable way they introduced the Mii/Amiibos, the press conference with Sakurai and The Pac, or the hype as hell Smash Invitational, Nintendo somehow satisfied the unrealistically high expectations that I set for Smash this e3.
3. No Mans Sky - This was one of my favorite reveals from e3 2013, it was the thing from that conference that stuck with me ever since. Watching that ship take off and fly straight into space seamlessly with a beautiful artstyle to boot was fantastic. And this year they built on that with everything in that game looking solid. It still seems so ambitious, but I'm so glad the project is coming along, and I cannot wait to play this game.
4. Codename S.T.E.A.M. - When we heard a new 3DS title was being announced in a closed door meeting, no one expected this. A Third-Person Strategy RPG, in the spirit of Valkyria Chronicles. I honestly loved Valkyria Chronicles and wished more games took a page out of its book for gameplay. It looks like a fantastic game from one of my favorite developers of all time. I'm a little wary on the smoothness of the artstyle, but I think Intelligent Systems can pull it off.
5. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain - The more and more that I see of this game, the steadier and steadier I'm getting excited for it. The game looks huge in every way possible. Story, options, map, experience. The Phantom Pain will have it all.
6. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege - The big shocker coming out of Ubisoft's conference. It looked pretty exciting from watching it the first time through with a lot of cool concepts implemented, but after seeing some of the off-screen footage that has been shown around, I could not be more excited for this game. It's looking like the tactical shooter I've been waiting years for.
7. Kirby & The Rainbow Curse - Canvas Curse was an amazing departure from the normal Kirby games we were use to up to that point. Getting a 'sequel' to that with a Clay artstyle is just icing on the cake.
8. Splatoon - Talk about a surprise. No one really knew what we were going into when this game was on the Treehouse list, but seeing it during the Nintendo Event, it looked actually pretty cool. It's quite a different kind of third person shooter/splatter that I could see being really fun. The game has a lot of color and heart for sure, and I'm excited to see how this game turns out and how the community reacts to it.
9. Halo: Master Chief Collection - You could almost just take the Halo 2 remastering from the collection to put this at this spot. Halo 2 is my favorite Halo game by far, and one of the first games to get me into the concept of online multiplayer. The whole package is really great too, and I can't wait to finally go back and play classic Halo.
10. Yoshi's Woolly World - Boy do I love me some Yoshi's Island. While the newest one wasn't the greatest, this game's artstyle and gameplay are definitely showing me that this game is the real deal. Very interested to see more from Woolly World. Also that name. So perfect.

Honorable Mentions: The Witcher 3, The Division, Batman Arkham Knight, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors, Scalebound, Bloodborne, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.

All of the honorable mentions could have made it somewhere on this list, they were all fantastic games and announcements, but cuts had to be made. This year's e3 was a lot better than I was expecting it to be, and the fact I had to actually think and make cuts to a top 10 list makes me really happy that more e3's will hopefully move in the right direction.

[Dredd97]

1) Witcher 3
2) No Man's Sky
3) GTA V

I chose the Witcher 3, simply because of the size and depth of the open world gameplay they showed, the sort of game that pays homage to Bethesda and the Elder Scrolls saga, and adds that distinct Witcher twist, an adult orientated game. I would have chosen No Man's Sky but at this moment it's just a fancy demo and a promise... I'd like to see a stage demo of somebody playing the game (please!)

Xenosaga and Witcher 3 are very similar in terms of size, scope and ambition. Both are shaping up to be massive rpg which could potentially redefine their respective genre (jrpg and wrpg). Witcher 3 is trying to redefine the open world wrpg by having the size and the focus of a structured game with a strong narrative. Xenoblade Chronicles X is trying to push the jrpg forward just like it's predecessor. It seems like this spiritual sequel is pushing further with the mechs and the lack of a traditional healing spell.

Splatoon: I was very impressed by how much this game drew me in. It just looks like a lot of fun and unlike any shooter I've ever seen. I'm very interested in seeing how everyone reacts to it once it's out. A Nintendo-developed online shooter that's not violent and looks fun to play as... that's just fucking great.

Bayonetta 2: Man, this looks like such a worthy sequel. Every single thing I've seen of this game has been impressive. The boss battles showcased on Treehouse Live were just... goddamn, they were awesome. Weapons, level design (that one trippy one where you can walk on walls was really cool) all seem good. The game looks like it's in very good hands.

Project STEAM: New IP from Intelligent Systems. Visually it looks great, the music was awesome, and the gameplay looked like a mix of all the greats in the genre. I really dig the whole concept of the game and how over-the-top it is.

Super Smash Bros. 3DS:I was debating putting this at 3, but I refrained. I'm really, really impressed by how well they've gotten it to look and work on 3DS. 60 FPS and looks and plays just like on console. Just that alone makes it more impressive than the Wii U version for me, though obviously they're both amazing games. Major props to Sakurai and everyone working on it.
