Sony's publishing NMS and is coming to PC?

i guess everybody up in here is busy pretending like E3 is about something besides hype
yeah, it's a shame they didn't pick a game everybody could agree on, and just went with the one that boasted an incredibly strong showing and which sated years of hype and mystery. After all, it would have been nice for the people behind GCA to wave a magic wand and subvert the fabric of the universe, so that every single man, woman, and child is satisfied with their choices in the end

Horizon - Zero Dawn was the best thing from e3. I hope it lives up to its potential.
Yeah I heard it's mostly a boss fight game, which was a let down to me. I've been following Cuphead for a while now, and only recently found out it was more of a boss battle game and not a level/platform title. :/
Steam.

I never said something about anyone, hence the "more correct" in quotation. Again: you're in the minority. You have nothing. Stop acting like it's a known fact that Bethesda games are shit. "Shit" games don't review, score and sell that much. You don't get to dictate other people about "good" and "bad" games. Does that mean you have to like it? No. Don't like it? That's great, you're entitled to that, but don't come around trolling around with hit-and-bait posts that add nothing.

If Sony publishes it ... Why has it won independent game of the show? Doesn't make sense
I am excited about FO4 but it seems to have won only because of the IP and not because they demonstrated something amazing, Horizon deserved it and U4 was the second best as it used the technology to advance the formula with a set piece on a huge scale not seen before in the series+ it looked incredible while doing so and showed amazing destructibility and physics (rightfully took the visual award).
Feel GG were robbed, they deserved it more, but oh well, if we go by how recent winners has turned out when they came out maybe it's for the best for GG and ND

Golly me, it's almost as if people have varying opinions. Will have to research further to be sure.

Yeah, this one is the goofiest by far.

Plus the fact it's already there in the base game, means the mod potential can skyrocket into new territories to create even more new ideas that the next FO/ES will probably look at and try to incorporate a pro rendition of, like always... like weapon mods, survival systems etc. Dudes that don't know how to Fallout need to fall back.
Yeah...
I am not buying into the hype after Skyrim. That game was a fucking mess on PS3 at launch, and I don't think I have had a positive launch window experience with the Bethesda published games I have played asides from Dishonored (maybe because it was the only non B Softworks game that wasn't using the garbage iD tech 5 engine)
I'll wait for the inevitable GOTY edition, since Fallout 4 and other Beth Soft RPG's are media favorites before purchasing.
Does that even count?
Its just coming console first to PS4. Its also on PC

Because the "indy" aspect considers development and ownership of the IP is my guess.

Sony mopped up, and even though I preferred Sony's show, let's all admit that this year was a fantastic E3 for everyone except Nintendo. So many good games coming out!
That list is...actually spot on for the most part. Fallout 4 had an excellent showing and Todd Howard was one of the best E3 presenters I've ever seen.
Keep in mind, Horizon will be there next year as it won't come out until Fall 2016 at the earliest (will probably slip into 2017).
But I'm happy that they didn't just give it to another online shooter like the past two years. Don't get me wrong, Battlefront had a great demo but I'm afraid it'll meet the same fate as the other hyped FPS games this gen and lack content at launch.
The only award I feel is wrong is the best Indie winner. That should be Cuphead. But regardless, that was a pretty good selection all around.

Compared to Uncharted 4, Tomb Raider didn't look anything special.
Almost every publisher had at least one game I'm very excited for. Ubi with South Park and Ghost Recon, EA with Mirror's Edge, Battlefront, and Unravel, SE with JC3 and Deux Ex MD, MS with Halo 5 and Recore, Sony and UC4 and Horizon...it was a great showing for all the pubs.
Tomb Raider doesn't deserve an award. It's literally a worse Uncharted.

not really surprised here. the biggest thing MS showed was backwards compatibility but being able to play last gen games wont win any awards.

Nice to see Horizon get best original game at least.

How is Sony down for four wins when one of their games won once and the other three times?!
Edit - never mind; I see this was already asked. I assumed Hello Games were publishing No Man's Sky themselves.

It's very different from Uncharted when it comes to moment-to-moment gameplay, and this is coming from someone who used to shit-talk the reboot at every turn. And the gameplay for this one looks radical.
I couldn't really have imagined a worse trailer for that game though. They showed boring QTE gameplay that was the staple of last-gen.
You're right about that. It's just funny to see how some developers get less shit than others, even when their fuck ups are obviously greater.
Yes, and I do understand the Contra comparison, but Contra wasn't just boss rooms either.
What was Tomb Raider going to take from Uncharted 4? They're not even in the same league at this point. The Tomb Raider demo was probably the worst demo I saw out of E3. They're trying way too hard and Lara sounds even more annoying now than she did before.
Sony isn't publishing No Man's Sky, are they? Must be an error...? What's the 5th?
They chose a bad demo to showcase on stage.

Nvm I'm dumb
How did Horizon get any award? I was under the impression that Game Critics E3 awards had to be at the pre-E3 event and "playable".
I didn't hear anyone say that they saw that game there but the delegates that I listened to the podcast to also were surprised by it.
It's like the big games sites saw that E3 had bigger games this year than last year so now they can just ignore the smaller title games again.

It's not just AAA though. Dylan Cuthbert complained about a lack of coverage on the big sites.

Need for speed looked far more impressive to me.
I assume playable, means able to be played in real time in front of people. There were non-public demos given of the E3 scenario using alternate approaches
Lol at the Bethesda bashing. Apparently Bethesda produces shit. A bunch of magical shits that get years of development, get this much hype and excitement, win multiple GoTY awards, consistently achieve high scores and become some of the most popular, enjoyable, actively played and highly praised RPGs with a huge fanbase. We must be brainwashed. Grab your tinfoil hats, boys, the minority has come to cleanse everyone with their understanding of good games.
But yeah, let's ignore what they showed (even though the award is based on that), and let's just base the award off whether a really small minority thinks the company and the games are crap or not.

How can anyone find the base building parts not completely stupid?
Yes.
