4. Zelda Wii U
5. Bloodborne
6. Captain Toad Treasure Tracker

Splatoon looked silly when it first popped up but the game just kept looking better and better the more I saw. Biggest surprise for me.

No Man's Sky has lots of promise, but will it actually be any fun?

Bloodborne didn't really impress me, but I love the Souls games so I'm sure it'll be great.

9. Inside
10. Witcher 3

I was stunned by the open world Zelda Wii U announcement, but the actual video that they showed did not ... Show much?
Splatoon on the other hand was the full package: great visual style, innovative gameplay that they explained effortlessly and the glimmer of hope inside you when Nintendo are stepping up to the plate and delivering something new.
Arkham Knight and Far Cry 4 may be AAA crap to some people, but both had impressive demos with high production values this e3.
Bloodborne was only shown as a short trailer and the offscreen leak, and I don't know how I feel about less defensive options, but the From hype is well deserved at this point, because you know that they are at least not going to actively sabotage their own game with lowest common denominator crap.
No Man's Sky had demo that was visually spectacular, but not placing higher because ... What do you actually do in the game?
Rainbow Six: Siege impressed me, but the highly choreographed demo was a bit suspicious when you start to think about it. It seemed like a lot of random stuff were falling into place to make the match fun. How will the actual game play with eight random people on the internet? Will the small drones really be useful? How can the maps be balanced with so much destructibility? I am not convinced that the developer can answer these questions, but it is great of them to want great things.
Captain Toad because of irrational fanboyism, and some of it looked a bit fun.
Inside because the developer has the ability to create visually distinctive games at their fingertip.
The Witcher 3 ... I didn't really like the demo to be honest. It still looks good, but the experience of playing the game seems very similar to the previous game. It didn't show off the open world aspect very well. I was looking for some other game to take its place at number ten, but didn't come up with any.
 
1. No Man's Sky - You're telling me I'll be able to interact with my childhood dreams?
2. Grand Theft Auto V - My favourite game of the previous generation is getting the release it deserves.
3. Driveclub - 'Weather' or not it's 60 FPS is inconsequential. Game looks fuck crazy.
4. Call of Duty: Advanced Warface - It takes a whole hell of a lot to get me excited for Call of Duty, having never bought one. I'll Day One this.
5. Legend of Zelda Wii U - Animation and art direction look incredible.
6. Arkham Knight - The transitions from Batmobile to flying will consume me.
7. Splatoon - How can you not put this in the top ten? Nintendo entering third person shooting and the colours . . . the colours . . .
8. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End - No doubt this would have been higher on my list had we seen gameplay, but that real-time, in-engine, solo-PS4 footage was crazy.


First time I've participated in one of these threads. Felt compelled to do so because I'd hate to see No Man's Sky miss the top spot by one vote! Seriously though, can't wait for No Man's Sky. I can see myself putting in at least 100 hours of play in that baby if they deliver on their vision, and all indications are that they will.

1. Splatoon - Just looks really unique and fun.
2. Xenoblade Chronicles X - my most anticipated game in the show but the novelty of Splatoon beat it out.
3. Zelda Wii U - Oh man, they barely showed anything and I already can't handle it.
4. No Man's Sky - Looks fantastic but I worry about the execution for some reason.
 
1. Batman: Arkham Knight - Rocksteady's back with some new ideas. Can't wait.
2. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Pretty much everything related to this looks amazing.
3. Far Cry 4 - I like jumping off of high things in open-world games.
4. Bayonetta 2 - Platinum killing it as always.
5. Rainbox Six: Siege - looks cool but will probably be much more chaotic in multi-player.

You guys better vote for Ori and the Blind Forest! :D
The trailer was beautiful. Game is very aesthetically pleasing, same as Inside, ABZU and Below. But I didn't vote for these because I'm not sure about their gameplay.

Other games like Star Citizen and Mirror's Edge were out because they seemed too far off. Chose to also exclude remakes like Grim Fandango, Phantom Dust and New n' Tasty.

Excited for all these games, but I had to shorten the list somehow so I decided to set some rules.
 
  1. The Legend of Zelda - The focus on exploration, the huge open world and the great art style - biggest announcement of the show for me.
  2. Super Smash Bros. - The Invitational was spectacular. An entire show at the Nokia Theatre, just for Smash, with an incredible crowd. And the Iwata vs. Reggie fight was hilarious. Ranked second just because it's not a new announcement from this year, but it's my most anticipated game.
  3. Splatoon - Great surprise with a lot of potential, it looks very fun and creative.
  4. Xenoblade X - Can't wait to play this. I need so badly to hear more of the soundtrack.
  5. Ori and the Blind Forest - Beautiful and atmospheric, I'm really looking forward to see more.
  6. Yoshi's Woolly World - Just like Ori, I love how it looks and hope the gameplay turns out as good.
  7. Cuphead - Fascinating style, I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it among the other indies.
  8. No Man's Sky - Stunning so far, I need to know more about the gameplay.
  9. Mario Maker - I love making my own games/levels, I just hope it's customizable enough.
  10. Bayonetta 2 - Great so far, and Bayonetta 1 is included.
Honorable mentions: Inside, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Abzu.

10. Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number

I don't have a Wii U yet but I am really considering one after this E3. Uncharted 4 being 60FPS makes me doubly anticipate it and I have just started Demon's Souls and absolutely love i already. LBP is awesome and No Man's Sky looks like one of my (wet) dreams.

I picked and ordered the games by what I saw the most of and gave the most in-depth coverage of the game. Thank you treehouse. This is the most fun I've had with E3.
 
1. Xenoblade Chronicles X
2. Assassin's Creed: Unity
3. Smash Bros Wii U
4. No Man's Sky
5. Splatoon

I'd probably put Zelda Wii U on here but that doesn't really feel right since we saw almost nothing of it. They talked some big game about it and it will be amazing but I don't think I want to put it on the list.

Basically not much new, very disappointing e3 for me.
 
1. No Man's Sky
2. Witcher 3
3. CounterSpy
4. Rainbow Six Siege
5. Batman Arkham Knight

No Man's Sky is the real next gen game. Sean Murray talking about AI algorithms and robots going to planets to take GIFs for checking the colour palette across thousands is bonkers on Giant Bomb's podcast (2:15 - 17:36).

"It's a weird game to make, no doubt about it. Everything we do pretty much hasn't been done before, and I don't mean that in a pretentious way."

People should check out CounterSpy, linked it. 2.5D action stealth shooter, very cool style.

After having just seen Rainbow Six Sege actual gameplay (not the E3 demo), I'm sold. This is the closest thing to a SWAT 4 spiritual successor I might get.
 
1. Uncharted 4
2. Far Cry 4
3. Batman: Arkham Knight
4. The Order 1886

While I was dissapointed with the length of the Order's demo and the ending of it, those first 20 seconds had such great atmosphere that I felt it derserved to go up.
 
1. Sunset Overdrive
2. Super Smash Bros (Wii U)
3. Splatoon
4.Bayonetta 2
5. Cuphead
6. Phantom Dust (I'm just too hype, but not enough shown to be higher)
7. Project STEAM
8. Grim Fandango HD
9. Evolve
10. Battlefield: Hardline
 
1. The Legend of Zelda Wii U
2. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
3. Super Smash Bros for Wii U/3DS
4. The Witcher 3
5. Batman: Arkham Knight
6. Hyrule Warriors

9. Batman Arkham knight
10. Sunset Overdrive
 
1. The Witcher 3
2. Bloodborne
3. Metal Gear Solid V
4. No Man's Sky
5. Zelda
6. Uncharted 4
7. Batman
8. Xenoblade Chronicles X
9. ABZU
10. The Division

Uncharted would easily have been higher if they had shown gameplay but it still makes the list because of ND's trademark visual quality, animation and atention to detail.
