I'm fine with the musical performances as long as they don't last forever. The performances should only be 2-3 minutes long, not at the length of a Tchaikovsky symphony.

E3 2018: Game Critics Awards Winners
- Thread starter Kenzodielocke
- Start date
Most people seem to be more worried about things like the pacing of a press conference or presentation than what's actually at E3 whether it's on stage or just on the show floor. As always, it's the games that matter most in the end.
Platform Breakdown By # Of Wins
(Notes: Multiplatform games are counted in all appropriate platform tallies, excludes Hardware winner. Information based on announced platforms for each winning title as of 7/1/2018).
PlayStation 4: 17 (+5 from 2017)
Xbox One: 12 (+6 from 2017)
PC: 10 (+1 from 2017)
Switch: 4 (-1 from 2017)

They had the best games of any publisher, no contest.
Just too bad their press conference had that stupid ass intermission. You can't kill the momentum of your conference like that.
Whoa, this is a pretty huge surprise. I thought for sure Cyberpunk had BIS in the bag but maybe not everyone who votes got a chance to see the demo and as such couldn't vote for it. Makes me all the more excited for RE:make 2
Imo Sony was one good 10 min montage of upcoming games away from having a great presser, instead of that very awkward transition.
In any case, and for all involved, I think it has been a great E3 (well, not sure about EA, but they'll make plenty of dough anyway).
Now I need more Dreams in my life damit!
No, none of the Judges could play Cyberpunk 2077, so it wasn't eligible.
Well the nominees were different so the votes breakdown differently.
In Best Console game, Dreams or AC:O could've had votes that ended up going to RE2 in Best of Show (where AC:O and Dreams weren't nominated). Likewise, votes for Spider-Man could've been siphoned off by Anthem in the Best of Show vote.
I hate when things do this - RE2 wins best of show yet Spiderman and anthem win best console game and PC game respectively? So re2 is the best game overall but it's not the best game on any platform it's on?
Best of show should automatically win any platform best of awards. It doesn't make any sense that it doesn't.
Some of their games winning awards doesn't mean their E3 conference wasn't bad.
Good lord posts like these are "cringe worthy" lol.

At the end of the day it's the games that matter and it seems like people are loving them.
Good list. I couldn't agree more. RE2 is looking outstanding. Probably the most insane remake I've ever seen
Talking about graphics, for me Forza Horizon 4 took my breath away. I watched a lot of FH4 gameplay and that engine... holy f. For an open world racing/driving game, where you are constantly moving fast, that was f impressive, what jump from the last game!

Because they went full "Kinect era" Microsoft.
They had the perfect balance of musical performance and pacing with E3 2016.
They kinda stumbled in 2017, but that was because they didn't really have a strong line up
They were smelling their own farts this year and it sabatoged their great games line up.
Let me put this in perspective.
In 30 minutes they showed one game, an add for DLC and a 2 minute CG trailer.
That was half the conference
When Ori wins best independent game, you know they need to rethink their categories. Getting recognized for being awesome is great but it's not an indie game.
Sony steamrolled again
On a side note i feel so disconnected with how much people like RE and i enjoyed then when they originally released but i feel so old man yelling at clouds. Perhaps is my zombie bias that blinds me

RE never was just about zombies, and maybe people like this franchise because it's full of really great games ?
RE doesn't get enough credit for what it did for the industry.

Perhaps you arw right, i did play them when i was very young so i dont appreciated them enough. I just find it surprising how liked is the series

Resident evil is one of the biggest gaming franchises of all time though
Capgod is back
Sony with those exclusives but as posted the biggest winner is the people at media molecule
The potential of dreams and the backing by sony over a project which had to be rebooted several times is finally paying off

I appreciate the response though! I'll most likely end up going for digital deluxe.
Can someone explain to me briefly why the RE2 remake is such a big deal? I saw it during the conference and shrugged. Obviously I'm missing something. Is it the best game in the series or something? Is it a ground-up, world-class remake? I don't get the adulation.
Yes it's ground up remake. Well more of a reimagining really. There's 20 minute gameplay videos on YouTube. Check it out. It's absolutely amazing horror game.
It's not a straight remake as they're adding new content and story to it. So layouts are changing, characters are being given more depth, puzzles are changing on so on. They're putting a lot of work into it. And RE2 is generally considered either the best or second best game in the series, depending on how that person usually feels about RE4. So this remake is a huge deal.
Ah, shit.
Missed the boat on that CE; really wanted that sexy red Steelbook~~~
