The quality of the trailer for The Order: 1886 surprised me. It looked fantastic for being 'created in engine' (whatever that means).

 

[LycanXIII]

KH3. Was expecting it to be a 2.5 trailer when I saw the black outfit. Was pleasantly surprised when the title card showed.

 

[unknownstranger]

The amount of shots Sony took at Microsoft during their press conference. I thought press conferences took a couple months to make, didn't think they'd have time to edit it in (although it really was just a few slides). $499 for XBO surprised me more than $399 for PS4.

 

[GuessWho]

1. Titanfall
2. Killer Instinct 3
3. $399
4. The division

 

[Touch]

SONY going hard in the paint on DRM and $399.

Kingdom Hearts 3

 

[Vaco6121]

Xbox One $499
PS4 $399

 

[BossLackey]

The fact that Square Enix suddenly knows how to make games again.

 

[Puppet Shadow]

• $499 - I thought MS would come in with a low price to offset the DRM
  
• DRM Free PS4 - I was convinced Sony was following Microsoft's lead.
  
• $399 - After announcing there's no DRM, I was sure Sony would price the PS4 the same or higher, seeing as it came with less strings, and was a more powerful console.
  
• The Division - Spent most of the trailer going What the hell... wait, what? Gimme!
  
• Star Wars Battlefront - No idea this was in the works. Very cool looking. Watch EA screw it up and make it an MMO

 

[heyDian]

The fact that Square Enix suddenly knows how to make games again.

This.

Also, Pokemon's new feature. LOL'd when I saw the trailer. Felt like a plot twist, hahaha...

 

[Beermeister]

Biggest positive surprise:

• The Division. Looks absolutely amazing and it reminds me of the superb game Freedom Fighters. Best graphics and best game this E3.

Honorable mentions:

• Destiny.
• Mirror's Edge 2.
• Metal Gear Solid 5.
• Infamous: Second Son.
• Killzone: Shadow Fall.
• Mario Kart 8.

Biggest negative surprise:

• Retro. I have no words. Just... die.

Honorable mentions:

• Nintendo. Please understand. Please be patient. Same shit every year and it will never stop.
• Super Mario 3D World. Glorified 3DS game. Nintendo milking at its finest.

 

[AgentP]

Gaming-wise, The Division. Blew my mind.

Overall, 399 for the PS4.

This and this.

 

[nintendoman58]

Kingdom Hearts 3

 

[Aureon]

Kingdom Hearts 3.
We didn't even dare to dream.

 

[StickSoldier]

Megaman in Smash. I've literally wanted him in it since the first one came out. It's a dream come true!

 

[ohlawd]

David Wise in DKCR2.

What else?

 

[peaceiscloser]

Wii Fit Trainer.

Like, wtf. I'd heard of rumors of the other ones, even speculation on KH3, and the possible $399 PS4, but seriously, WII FIT TRAINER?!

I love her to death.

 

[GoofsterStud]

Final Fantasy Versus XIII/Final Fantasy XV? Kingdom Hearts 3? Mirror's Edge 2? Wii Fitness Trainer as a playable character? or something else?

I think for me it would have to be FFXV, KH3 and Wii Fitness Trainer. Wii Fitness Trainer more of a "wtf? :lol" moment and FFXV and KH3 caught me off guard considering their long development time and how they seemed to have disappeared from radar.

What about you?

Well everything was predictable. :-/

 

[Sephzilla]

In order

#1 - Kingdom Hearts 3
#2 - Sony's entire press event
#3 - Final Fantasy Versus 13 15 Pretty Graphics Extravaganza
#4 - The Crew
#5 - The Division

 

[Alligatorjandro]

$399 for the PS4.

 

[Mlatador]

Mario Kart 8 (it looked much better than I expected)
X (blew me away)
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (FUCK YEAH!)

 

[Mindlog]

$399 - good
The marginalization of multiplayer paywalls because of other even more preposterous proposals. - incredibly bad

 

[Dr. Randy Marsh]

3. The PS4's size

2. $100 price gap

1. Wii Fit Trainer

 

[Currygan]

MK8. They not only made it good looking, but GREAT looking

 

[RPGamer92]

Kingdom Hearts 3. Didn't expect an announcement until after FFXV came out.

 

[Gestault]

Kingdom Hearts III & FF XV existing, followed closely by Kingdom Hearts III & FF XV existing on XB1.

Also, $399 verses $499.

 

[nib95]

The XO's price. $499. What the...

 

[AngryMoth]

For me it was that insomniac is making an Xbox exclusive. I'd seen the rumour but I didn't believe it. And that trailer was fucking great! But I'm sad to say I ain't gonna be playing for a long time (maybe never) due to their poor choice of platform.

Battlefront 3 was a nice surprise too

 

[Lingitiz]

The Division: came out of nowhere and looked fantastic.

 

[ampere]

399 USD

I didn't think there was any way the PS3 would be under $500 even though it really needed to be

 

[linko9]

KH3, which is saying something, because I do not give a shit about KH.

 

[Strike]

$399 and Kingdom Hearts III

 

[ShirAhava]

xbox one exclusives....fuckingnothing.gif....others seem to care about those games but I don't at all....they might as well have gotten on stage and shouted "no exclusives" I'd feel the same as I do now....I wouldn't even want to rent any of those games let alone buy...just wow

 

[CronoShot]

KH3 being a thing.

 

[the_sun_king]

Wii Fitness Trainer and $399.

 

[Tallshortman]

Sony delivering almost the entire best case scenario (obviously the almost means paid multiplayer). Most of use were saying oh well maybe a little lower than xbone, probably some new DRM. Nope, they brought it all.

 

[MrBS]

Sony actually acknowlodging DRM on stage E3 and then completely owning it's position left me floored. In 2006 I would have expected those remarks to be made off stage by Phil Harrison and then quickly distanced from the rest of the company. Instead we got slides detailing the position. Slides! Sony had that stuff ready

 

[archnemesis]

The biggest surprise for me was the low price and size of the PS4. I expected the cost of the slightly beefier components to be about the same as Microsoft's new Kinect.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Sony's absolute bitchslap session of MS towards the end of the conference. Didn't expect them to do something like that.

 

[Pein]

Kingdom Hearts 3. I did not expect it to be announced before 2.5 Remix.

this for me too, I thought the trailer was announcing 2.5

dkc is a bad surprise, who would have thought retro was working on tropical freeze. where is that kyle bosman gif describing nintendo?

 

[Subterranean]

Mirror's Edge 2 and The Division.

 

[pants]

Well, World of Tanks certainly came from nowhere

 

[nikos]

PS4 at $399.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Kingdom Hearts 3
PS4 no DRM callout
PS4 399
Battlefront

 

[Anth0ny]

$399, Kingdom Hearts 3.

 

[farisr]

Sony addressing the DRM stuff on stage, and then the number of games being run at 60fps in general.

 

[blizzardjesus]

Honestly is was sony's whole section on DRM. It was direct, it was honest and after watching microsoft wobble on the issue the past 2 weeks, it was the best possible thing they could do. and then that price.

KH3 gave me goosebumps, but sadly have to wait for it..
After rumors that MK8 was gonna be a revamped 7, I'm glad to see thats not the case.
