Thanks for another great thread Benny! Glad to see Horizon up there! Well deserved.
I'll be honest, I'm actually a bit surprised to see Uncharted that high, but I guess that demo was just a really great showing of the game. I know it certainly wowed me!
Thought this was limited to games though?
What blows my mind is that a FF7 remake wasn't the biggest surprise this E3.

I see where you're coming from, but they did have a pretty great conference this year.Four of the top five and seven of the top ten were shown at Sony's press conference. Explains a lot.
If you look at the stats, No Man's Sky definitely lost its luster.
(Total mentions / Total points / #1 votes only)
This year: No Man's Sky (371 / 609 / 2)
Last year: No Man's Sky (721 / 1785 / 113)
While there was a higher participation last year 1269 vs. 1090 it's still quite a downwards trend.
But I just think that is the second year E3 effect. The Division had the same.
In theory it is but it wasn't so much and when I found the second backwards compatibility person then I thought now I also have to add PS Vue.
Drawing lines about excitement is difficult.
Most Anticipated New Fighting Game?
Were there any others shown?

I ended up having to stick it at #3 behind TLG, but yeah that's certainly WAY higher than I thought I'd rank it before E3. Even after the PSX demo, I was pretty meh on the game. But you're right, the E3 demo was just something that blew me away. It was just such a well done showcase of the game.To be honest, going into E3 I didn't anticipate Uncharted 4 to rank very highly for me personally but that demo just blew me away. I've always loved Uncharted, but was slightly disappointed they weren't making another new IP. The demo changed my mind into being glad they are making one more Uncharted game. I ended up ranking it as 2nd on my list (behind Horizon)
In theory it is. Maybe next year it can be generalized and it can be anything that is related to E3Yeah I would've voted for XB1 BC if it wasn't?
Nope. I made a mistake. I'll update it right away.Metroid Prime Federation Force is not listed. Was there a hard cutoff of 150 games?

Not only did a NieR sequel come out of nowhere but the fact that it got announced at E3 of all places is an even bigger surprise. Clearly deserves that honor.I mean, I kind of saw FF7 coming from a mile away, but Nier? If anybody told me that it would get a sequel, I'd laugh, hard, but the notion of a FF7 Remake was very obvious, its SE's trump card and always will be.
I thought FFVII would be higher on the list... I also do not get the hype for NMS. I will likely buy it day 1, but I don't see why it's in the best of categories. Anyways to each their own.
Wow. Gaf sure does love Horizon. I thought it looked like it cool and I'm definitely interested in seeing more, (without the inner monologue chatter, please) but it was nowhere near the top for me.
After watching hours of matches, Street Fighter V wins by a mile for me. We already knew going in that the game was beautiful, but now we have confirmation that it's moving away from IV in all the right ways and I couldn't be more excited.
Why Sony arguably had the greatest press conference ever. Probably should have worded it differently.
I've seen the Horizon demo a couple of times now and I still don't get what's supposed to make it so special, aside from the graphics, which are great. I feel like I'm missing out on something. I would like to be as excited about the game as most of GAF seems to be.
Congratulations Guerrilla Games, finally they get to make a game that seems to be a better fit for the user base than a FPS.
We had giant threads about Last Guardian (Cerny rumour), Shemue (Yu tweeting about E3)and FF7( Siliconera reporting) leaks before the confrence went up. So most people were anticipating them to appear in some fashion.
No one leaked Nier.
This.
And Uncharted games still hit me with pure joy.
Also, I totally agree Nier 2 and FFVII Remake were my two biggest surprises, either makes for a great winner so Nier 2 is a great choice since it came out of absolutely nowhere, plus Platinum being involved I don't think we could have seen coming.
Super glad to see TLG so high after we all waited for it's return for so long, feels good.
Not really though. Almost everyone in those threads were hopefully but still partially wrote them off as the usual Pre-Sony E3 conference rumors tradition
Now if only the sequel to the wonderful game in your avatar was announced - This E3 would have achieved perfection. TGS cannot come soon enough.
It was Number 10 until very close to the end. It was already in the uploaded 6-10 image I've made. ;-)Kingdom Hearts III almost top 10. Next time it gets there =D
