Captain Ginyu

UFO 50 is at the top of my charts right now!! Looking forward to what the Xbox folks have to show in a bit.

Leah Kornacki

Tears of Metal looks fun. I wasn’t sure at first what exactly I was looking at, but hack n’ slash co-op sounds amazing.

Michael Hackbarth

I know everyone knew it was coming but I’m excited for the quidditch game.

Joe Moore

My favorite announcement, by a landslide, was innersloth taking the profits from among us and reinvesting back into a ton of small indie studios. It made that supercell commercial with Christina Rocci and Ken Jeong feel gross. They spent so much money on that ads production and the slot and here innersloth is taking their profits and using them wisely in a way that benefits the studio and gamers.....also Sam Barlow's new game Project C

Thomas Barker

Video games are so cool y’all! E3 is always the most hype time of year for me, and it’s good to know we’re still getting bits of that even if officially the event is dead. Kinda trying to save my money and stick to Elden Ring for now but a lot of games I’m seeing have my eager for more (Phatom Blade and Wukong look so cool!!)

Elliott Walcroft

Dragon Age: The Veilguard! I've been waiting 10 years and the Dreadwolf trailer was kinda disappointing, so seeing this pivot to a new name, character introductions that are exciting, and a pivot in direction has me very excited for Fall.

Mike Schofield

Possessors really hooked me in with the trailer from the Devolver Digital and I'm dieing for a tentative release date

Shmueli Berdugo

Looking forward to playing Hyperlight Breaker once it comes to consoles.

Keregan

The sick trailer for a game called Battle Aces, not to be confused with an entirely separate game announced a few minutes prior titled Battle Suit Aces

El Pescado

I’ve been so excited for UFO 50 for so long, but ever since the Miyoo Mini got native Pico-8 support it feels like its thunder got stolen a little. The Xbox Showcase got me excited for Indiana Jones and a new Life is Strange

Directional Joy

Alan Wake 2 getting a physical release was my highlight.

C Rivera

Discounty - the "convenience" of Moonlighter but without the dungeon crawling elements. Plus that trailer made it seem like there's something lurking under the surface...

Lavellan

Dragon Age not only going in a totally new direction with surprise name change but the fact that it's finally coming out this fall is bonkers. Ten years of development and reworking with pretty much no information and now it's like the floodgates have opened. Very excited to see gameplay on the 11th!

Cakeatjobs

Wanderstop!!! Very excited to see what Davey Wreden has up his sleeve for this cozy game that is almost certainly not just a cozy game

Bioschlock

Fable looks better than I could have dreamed.

Joe Dean

Possessor(s) from Heart Machine, I trust them to make good games. Cozy Dungeons looks really smart. Clear a dungeon, renovate it, and then sell it for profit is a clever loop. We'd already seen some of Neva, from the team that made GRIS, but the more I see the more impressed I am.

Aaron White

Coming back around to add a few more of my most anticipated indie titles. Citizen Sleeper 2! Possessor(s)! More excited for this now than HLB, honestly. Screenbound looks like such a brain trip, The Secret of Crystal Mountain gives me A Short Hike (an all-time favorite) vibes, and Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip looks like a ton of fun.

Leo Herzog

Have they shown us any reason why Flight Simulator 2024 has to be a whole new game, instead of just an expansion pack of some kind?

Mary Harvey

No thoughts, just Metaphor re fantazio 😌

PokéRedstone

It’s old news, but my main take away from the whole weekend is that Avowed is still this year and I won’t have to drop an extra impoverished dollar to get it. Game pass continues to pay dividends baybeeeee. I loved the Outer Worlds and am so excited for Obsidian’s next thing. They mainly showed the major faction choices here, but I can only hope each quest is as good and deep as they are in the studio’s other outings.

Alex Duplessie

So pumped for more Gears of War! Mixtape and Expedition 33 also look like 100% my jam

Faith Quist

Outersloth warned my heart

Patrick Young

A direct sequel to life is strange 1 with the same main character was certainly not expected

Gundeman

It is hard to pick something from the Xbox showcase since almost everything looks so good, by far the best gaming show in the recent years.

aaron

I'm interested in seeing more about those Blumhouse games. Especially the one that looked like a scary Stardew Vally

Jani Saarijarvi

The new Perfect Dark looks so good assuming it wasn’t all just bullshots. Very keen to play a mirrorsedgelike with deus ex vibes. Not sure how much exactly it’s going to be an immersive sim, but with any luck they won’t immediately shut down the studio afterwards!

Clay

Top five in no particular order: Civilization 7 even though it's a ways off, I just love those games so much. Dragon Age: The Veilguard, although we'll see if that changes after Tuesday's gameplay video. Gears of War: E-Day, would rather have Gears 6 but any Gears is great in my book. South of Midnight just looks so cool, I want to see more of it. And Alan Wake 2: Night Springs, I knew they would announce it but never would have guessed it would be out the next day!

Cheeks

Project C! Barlow and Baby Cronenberg? Give it to me RAW

Andrew Toms

Cairn looks very cool from the trailer. It literally tells us nothing substantial, really, but the screams of frustration of the character in the trailer suggest a climbing game that actually feels dangerous and I'm about it.

Michael From

I didn't think it felt particularly exciting this year. The Blumhouse launch slate was the coolest thing for me. I'm very excited for indie horror.

Luke Pommersheim

Civilization VII and Generation Exile - city builders are everywhere, but I donno - it just grabbed me for a reason. None of the shooters really grabbed me.

Casey Francis Alger

Mixtape looks right up my generational alley. Shame they got Smashing Pumpkins instead of Pavement though.

Mark Townsend

Gonna be honest, I didn't have "Gear of War CG trailer makes me emotional" on my bingo card. I haven't played anything from the series since Gears of War 2, but that E-Day trailer and its music hit HARD.

melon patch

Doom Dark Ages has me incredibly excited!

Emily Hoopes

I’m excited about Wanderstop. From the creators of the Stanley Parable? Sign me up!!

matt vesely

I am actually quietly hopeful for Star Wars Outlaws. Haven't played an open world game in a while so no fatigue, and it looks like they've rendered the world really well.

EtherEli

The indie title I’m most excited for is definitely Citizen Sleeper, JotA has done a great job keeping the fan community connected in that world with some of the promo stuff in the last year (Helion Dispatches series, the recent TTRPG Actual Play) and man I’m just so excited to role-play in that universe again. With that being said, after all the (completely justified) concern over what Xbox has up its sleeve anymore, I was not expecting a new mainline Gears game and am absolutely pumped for this premise. These were always so good for co-op and where I feel like recent Halo titles have fallen off in being as good for that, if me and my old high school friends can play this split screen or cross-platform, hoo boy it will scratch an itch I haven’t had scratched in years

Addison

UFO 50 is definitely up there. There wasn’t that much at SGF that got me excited to be honest. Goodlands from the Wholesome Direct really appealed to me. Also pretty excited for Monster Hunter Wilds

Julia

Was very surprised to see a new Life is Strange game, with Max!

Stephen Taubner

Okay, back for more! I am so freaking excited for Citizen Sleeper 2. That first one was incredibly special to me and I can’t wait to see what they have in store. Also did y’all see Fallen Aces? That shit looks so cool, just not sure how to feel about the episodic nature.

ran

over all very happy with them indies. Day of the Devs had a ton of titles that looked delightful, from stuff that had me laughing the entire presentation like building relationships to UFO50 getting a release date to Psychroma which I need NOW.

PaxSnax

Super excited for Fable and Perfect Dark

Kerry Benton

Civ7 and Battle Aces for me. Oh, loved the Anger Foot shoutout, by the by… I bought that on itch.io about a million years ago and loved the goofy ultra fast pace of it. I’m really interested to see where it’s gotten since the last time I played.

Alec Maure

Aw man besties pls give ESO a go, it's my favorite game.

Chase Wheatley

While I understand the concern about tone in the initial trailer, I'm extremely excited for Dragon Age 4 after watching the gameplay reveal. As a certified Mass Effect Sicko, this feels like it's made specifically for me - a Dragon Age game with the writing I enjoy, and also combat that might actually be fun instead of just bearable.
