FF7 showing this year was fantastic.

Hopefully they'll release all the episodes in a timely manner so that I can play it all at once in the near future~~~

I remember there being a lot of stuff I was excited about at E3 but... looking at that list of nominees it seems like it was shit, actually? Did they just pick really bad noms?

John Wick Hex better be damned amazing for it to beat out Fire Emblem.

John Wick Hex winning best strategy game has me fucking hyped.

Any word on that console version? Perfect game to play on Switch.

Congrats to Square-Enix. Final Fantasy VII Remake was clearly the game of the show!
So it deserves the "Best of Show, Best Console Game, and Best RPG Game" wins :)

Not surprised with FFVII Remake, it looked great and there was nothing but positive things said about it.

Good job Square.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses was robbed.
Weird that Fire Emblem: Three Houses didn't win Best Strategy Game (which it was indeed nominated for). I would think that it would be a total shoe-in. Is the John Wick game really that good?

Agreed. I think they probably evaluated John Wick more favorably for being more original, which normally I'd understand... but Three Houses is also doing a lot of cool new things that shake up the traditional FE formula. And when John Wick only looked alright to me, whereas Fire Emblem looked phenomenal...I don't think Wick's slight edge in originality trumps every other quality.

Totally different strokes for different folks. I personally like Fire Emblem more because it's a lot more robust than John Wick.

ya rly. John Wick Hex is really interesting and presents well at a show like E3. we're all looking fwd to Fire Emblem Switch, but Nintendo didn't make it available in its press-appointments center kiosk. (same issue with Hollow Knight Silksong.)

The Outer Worlds is amazing. Some members of the voting pool got to play a demo they could talk about. Most members of the voting pool got to play a demo that we are still not allowed to write/talk about. That fact is crazy, but the game's spot on this list is all I can say about that.

and if you see a game on the "required hands-on time" list of E3 nominees, and don't see it written about or talked about at any of your favorite sites and channels, you can read between the lines there.

Fully deserved for FFVII Remake. :)

It's a dream coming true for me and it looks amazing even without any nostalgia.

This kinda thing happens often enough. Sometimes, E3 judges get to play something that's meant for an "exclusive reveal" at one specific outlet, but we don't find that out until said outlet posts a story, weeks or months later. Other times, a gameplay portion has too many bugs or unfinished elements to be deemed suitable for an article. And still other times, publishers just be trippin'. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
