Barring Nintendo's rumored Nintendo Direct on the 28th and 29th which I am very hyped about, not E3 season has essentially wrapped up today. The big streams are over now from Sony's State of Play, Geoff's Summer Game Fest, and the Xbox Showcases as well as a large amount of smaller shows (the most yet for this period I believe). I know we'll all have plenty to say and be excited about when Nintendo arrives, so I'm curious about the best of the rest.
For me I think Square had my favorite games with Final Fantasy XVI and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. While neither trailer revealed too much new info, the games are just looking phenomenal and are both coming sooner than later. I also had the most fun sharing and discussing these trailers with family and friends.
Street Fighter VI was the other one that really stood out to me. It just feels incredibly confident in a way Street Fighter V didn't and while unfortunate for the team, the full roster leak I think really worked out for the best as the line up feels strong and the new designs for both new and returning characters all look really solid (I'm thrilled Ken left his awful banana hair behind!). If I had to pick an overall winner from Not E3 so far, I feel like Street Fighter VI won the most enthusiasm especially as it appeared at multiple events and demo'd well.
I'll turn it over to you now Fami, what games positively stood out to you from Not E3 2022 so far? I picked bigger games myself, but feel free to share all of the indies you loved too!
