I don't think we saw enough of Bloodborne to really justify this. Nice to see Sunset Overdrive get a nod, and I completely agree about the surprises. Interesting to see how overlooked the add-ons are at E3. I thought Second Light's stand alone expansion was one of the coolest showings. Only 17 votes...
It is a unique take on a tired genre, with original game mechanics that are very simple to understand but have a lot of potential for tactical depth and a high skill ceiling. If you want story it isn't going to be for you, but the gameplay looked miles ahead of anything else at E3.
Haha, ook, I was actually not sure if there was some obscure genre it fitted better in

Zelda at number 1? Good job GAF!
The votings were very close this year. I don't have a graph that shows this but at some point No Man's Sky was going to win over the other two which ended up being quite close and I was really hoping for it to win.
Not because I voted for it myself, but because I wanted to make an animated gif with lots of small animated gifs within them just like they described their robot does to human-check their planet seeding algorithm. ;-)

5 points away from Grim Fandango! Insane.
I simply looks fun.
Yeah, it's the perfect take for Nintendo on the competitive tps genre
Quite the surprise

Smash Bros is a party game, but nice try.
No seriously, I missed the voting thread, what the hell!
Good to see Zelda at #1, where it belongs.

It looks ok, nothing extraordinary. The hype seems more due to the nature of Nintendo fandom than the game itself.

Yes Zelda WiiU wins return of the king
Look at this gif and listen to this

That's cool. Thanks for all your hard work! It's much appreciated.
This again? I could have zero interest in Nintendo and would still think Splatoon is the game of the show. It just looks damn fun and has some incredibly fresh game mechanics. I said it before in other threads, but I could totally see a less Steam-focused Valve make a game like Splatoon (the style is charming like TF2 while the mechanics are incredibly fresh like Portal 1 & 2). That being said, being made by Nintendo is just a nice bonus, because we know it'll be pretty polished at launch.
Not surprised by the 5 top titles. Generated most of the talk during this E3.
If any, it's interesting that names like The Order 1886, The Division, AC:Unity, Mass Effect, BF:Hardline,etc didn't capitalize on good will, given how high profile they are supposed to be.
Will be insightful to compare this list, with selling numbers next year (where it applies). Does early interest match with final selling?
Also, is there a way to decide which titles were the "losers" on this E3?

I'd say fabulous top 10.
Expected, I guess. 2015 is gonna be glorious.
I love the ability to touch the map to jump to a place where enemies have penetrated your defenses.It simply looks fun.
This is a game like no other.
No.
It isn''t even correlated with final quality most of the time. I've voted for Scribblenauts and Sim City in these E3 votes and we all know how that turned out.
If Mass Effect was anything other than a sliver of a concept, it would be way higher. If it had gameplay it would be top ten easy.

I disagree. It's the first time a new game mechanic has got me this excited since the first time I see Portal. I think that comparison made to Valve is actually pretty accurate.
People are already finding interesting ways to use it, hell we even have our first advanced movement technique ala Melee wavedashing and the game isn't even out yet.

Indeed even a story based teaser trailer would have generated more hype than what they did.
Which is kind of sad
Indeed. It was my Game of E3 by far! Super excited for it. For Zelda my hype kicks in when my pre-order is about to be dispatched lol
Greetings to the Good Taste brigade and its 199 active members.
You guys are ridiculously awesome.
I just went out to compare this list to top media sources... and I probably shouldn't have.
IGN's nominations are horrid, holy shit: http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/06/12/igns-best-of-e3-2014-awards
Thank you for being GAF, GAF
Oh wow, Gamespot's is probably worse: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/e3-2014-gamespot-s-best-of-e3-2014-winners/1100-6420468/
No Splatoon, Bayonetta, Xenoblade Chronicles X, just... wat

That's one interpretation. I think it's SonyGAF's false flag operation to remove the Kinectless hype!
Yep, top 10 doesn't disappoint either. 2015 will be great, I just hope most of these games will be eligible for goty next year. No more delays!
Lmao. You know it.

Yeah, these are my thoughts on it. Looks alright, but that's where the praise ends. The squid girl designs are cute and the mechanic seems fun for some matches, if nothing else. However, it's hardly worthy of a highlight in my book.

Yeah hype is just hype, opinions change, game quality etc. Never a good indicator.
Plus gaf isn't exactly a representative sample of the mainstream.
Splatter dashing?

Surprisingly good results.

Splatoon in top 10
Zelda top spot
Bloodborne number two
Witcher 3 over most other 3rd party titles
Meh...
The Order too high
Uncharted 4 top five
Valiant Hearts only mentioned 32 times
WTF?
People placed DLC in their lists
Someone mentioned Dance Central Spoltlight
Yeah!

Already dubbed Splatter jumping I think

Eh you can't really do a direct comparison for some as some of the major sites only allow playable games whereas gaf allowed anything.
But yeah...
That's not what people are calling it, but yeah.
In application it won't be anything like wavedashing but it is a faster way to move along the floor. It is done by transforming and creating ink mid air when you squid jump, and then transforming back again before you land.

I could be wrong, it just seems like it has the right factors to make it a fan campaign. It might be that great.
Why am i not surprised?
