Death Stranding
Admittedly, we’re as bemused by Hideo Kojima’s courier-‘em-up as everyone else, but Death Stranding sure has a creative identity unlike any we’ve seen before. The title still looks early, but it’s clear that the ex-Metal Gear man has a very strong vision for where this intriguing PS4 exclusive is heading, and while we still have many questions about both the narrative and core gameplay loop, we can’t wait to see more.

Devil May Cry 5
Devil May Cry returns with Nero and a new robotic arm in the lead role. Running on Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine, the long-awaited sequel promises blistering character action combat, all running at 60 frames-per-second. With more ‘tude than a teenager at a family get-together, the edgy narrative may grate – but there’s no question that the franchise is bringing back all of the style that fans love.
Dreams
It’s been floating around for a while now, but Dreams never fails to impress. The so-called imagination engine from Media Molecule didn’t quite get the blowout that we were hoping for in Los Angeles, with still no word on a release date or the beta which was promised eons ago, but make no mistake: the Guildford developer is breaking new ground here, and this is destined to be one of the more innovative PS4 titles when it does eventually arrive.
Fallout 76
Fallout 76 may not be the traditional Fallout title that many fans want, but it's still up there among E3 2018's most interesting games. An emphasis on multiplayer is the dividing line here, but if it's handled correctly, Bethesda could be onto a real winner. The game's map is four times the size of Fallout 4's, which immediately sounds quite impressive, and the whole thing will run on an updated engine with the support of dedicated servers. This is a whole new world for Todd Howard and co., so here's hoping this fresh adventure pans out.
Ghost of Tsushima
Ghost of Tsushima may just be the best looking PS4 game at E3 2018 – it’s in the running anyway. A slow, deadly combat style means that this doesn’t have the acrobatic action we’ve come to expect from developer Sucker Punch, but the promise of a deep historical narrative and vast Feudal world to explore has got our juices flowing all the same.

Oh man, I just saw the trailer for DMC5. So hyped!
@NathanUC Yes!
I would give anything to have Mass Effect get the remake treatment like Resident Evil.
Games overload! Makes me wanna work really hard so I can get some time off, LOL. I think this has been the best E3 since...well, ever! Usually I only come away being excited for a handful of titles, but this time it's nearly everything that's been announced.
Where is Gears 5???????? jk
I think overall it was a great E3, at least in the quality of the games shown
ghost,TLOU and spiderman are my top 3 for now.
might add cyberpunk but i need to see gameplay.
With so many great games and so much coverage of these, it maybe more interesting to consider the notable absences. The 2 biggest for me were the Crystal Dynamix Avengers game and Splinter Cell. I know only 1 of these has been officially confirmed but the other almost seemed a dead cert
...
@BAMozzy It really did, I would have bet my avatar on Splinter Cell appearing.
@BAMozzy yeah i don't know what happend to SC either.
was it realy needed to give a trailer for a documentary instead of having a reveal trailer for SC ubisoft??
Love all the non VR games
@get2sammyb Thanks for this!
@starhops We're going to keep updating it through the week, too!
Not to be that guy, but no Kingdom Hearts 3 or DQ 11?
Out of all the presentations I have to say that Sony's was my favorite, though Microsoft and Nintendo had a good showing, not great but good, assuming you like Smash in Nintendo's case. The amount of pure quality games Sony has coming is astounding.
@Bamozzy I would also make a case for Rocksteady's next game. I was certain it was going to turn up this year.
@adf86 True - I forgot about that one too....
I’m really hyped for Ghost of Tsushima, Kekiro, Spider-Man, and DMC5. I’m very intrigued with Control, Death Stranding, and Resident Evil 2.
DMC5 worries me though, as an overly edgy story can really damage the game. DMC3 has a great story and I expect no less from 5. 4 had a decent story, but Dante had a few of his best moments in it. If 5 has a bad story with bad writing count me out. Also, gosh dang fix Nero’s hairstyle. I will never stop complaining about it until it’s fixed.
The Big Four presentations were really amazing, I'm still watching it a lot. I'm even more hyped than before for these games.
There's a lot for everybody of all tastes to be excited for. Me? I just can't wait for Cyberpunk 2077. The game is already splitting opinions from the info we know but I just know that I will looove it.
I can see i will be completly skint come the end of the year.
Thanks for this summary. I find it difficult following E3 and all the game announcements, so this is really helpful. Still loads coming for PS4!

i've the opposite impression to almost everybody.. i found E3 to be quite disheartening overall. going into it, there were only 3 games that i would have said i'd definitely intend to buy, and one of those has dropped to a 'maybe'.. and there were a few maybes, 2-3 of which have lost interest to me, and the rest did nothing to convince me they'll be must buys. and i didn't really see any new announcements that hadn't been leaked already.
Whatever happened to Vanillaware's 13 Sentinels?
I hope making an article several pages long is a one off and not something we will be seeing regularly. It's put me off quite a few other gaming news sites.
Updated with more games.
@get2sammyb "Updated with more games."
Quick pop quiz - how many of those games have actual release dates? Year doens't count. You dont' need to know the date, just how many have a date. I'm guessing 3.
No BG&E2 on the list? Those devs will love that when they see Vacation Simulator on there.
Thanks for putting Dreams on the list, last of the true believers.
@leucocyte Somehow some are impossible to please. 😁 😃 😋
I had 10 plus must buy games. 😃
1) Last of Us 2, Resident Evil, Ghost of Tsushima, Kingdom Hearts 3, Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition,Dragon Quest 1, Control, Death Stranding, Spiderman
2) Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Cyberpunk 2077S
No metro exodus.this list is kind of horrible.word up son
@playstation1995 Metro is in my top 20 some where. 😁 😃 😋
@AFCC I guess on Outside Xbox 😋
@Gamer83 Control was a really pleasent surprise for me. 😁
@Flaming_Kaiser
Yeah, I wasn't expecting Remedy to announce its new game just yet, and especially didn't expect it at the PlayStation press conference. Great to see it though, looks awesome.
My own list would look something like this, in no specific order:
1) Spyro Reignited Trilogy
2) Concrete Genie
3) Days Gone
4) Death Stranding
5) Dreams
6) Ghost of Tsushima
7) The Last of Us Part II
8) Spider-Man
9) Dragon Quest XI
10) Assassin's Creed Odyssey
11) Sea of Solitude
12) Trover Saves the Universe
13) The Surge 2
14) Unravel Two
15) Pro Evolution Soccer 2019
16) Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk
17) Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin
18) Fate/Extella Link
19) GreedFall
20) Planet Alpha
Wow, can’t believe I’m only interested in 5 of the 20.
Too many games to choose from, but it's safe to say I won't be bored over the next couple of years.
I was a little disappointed at the lack of news of a Demon Souls remaster and although it was unlikely, I was hoping for a little more news on Spelunky 2 too.
Also, a little frustrated at Cyberpunk gameplay being shown behind doors given that it generated so much buzz, I hope it gets shown to the wider public soon.
