Holy fuck, Grim Fandango remake.

If you're like Stranger, and you've been stuck to consoles your whole life, you probably never played one of the best RPG's ever made. It was from when LucasArts didn't only make shitty Star Wars games. I think you can still play the game on Windows 8.1 or Linux 3.15 with some hacks though.
Weird that there's no PC remake, since it's a PC game, but awesome anyways.

Palm Tree Simulator
Far Cry 4 also sounds cool, takes place in the Nepal / India / Tibet area.
I enjoyed Far Cry 2 and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon a lot, but we'll see if this becomes what I hope it will be.

Warp speed, number one
I've been waiting for a game like No Man's Sky ever since I played Terminal Velocity as a kid. Open world randomly generated sci-fi jet fighter. Cool as shit.

Zelda + Dynasty Warriors?

Wee U
I must say, I was impressed how Nintendo turned around from focussing on casual gaming to actual fun games.
I think they finally realized that their hardware is substandard compared to a € 300 laptop and PlayStation 4, and that promoting their products at home furnishing store chains isn't working out. So they decided to actually listen to their consumers and fans.

Mario Kart 8 is a start in the right direction, and actually a reason to get a Wii U, apart from Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, and Pikmin 3.

Elder Scrolls 6: Hyrule
How the Zelda game was described was pretty nice. It's going to be an open world, instead of predetermined area's, dungeons, and castles. That sounds pretty exciting, and from what it looks like it will have a similar gameplay as Elder Scrolls.

Barrel Roll U
There's also a new Star Fox coming out in a year, that Nintendo hasn't talked about yet:

Splatoon looks like a lot of fun. It's basically a paintball shooter with two sides, where the team with the most paint on the floor wins. You can also transfer yourself into a J0ttem Squid and swim through your own team's paint.

Microsoft Recap

I love Francis

There was a Microsoft thingy thing too, which I just watched.
Disappointed, I was expecting more than brown shooters (Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc.), yet another zombie survival, dragon-sword-village RPG's, "OMFG a new Halo :O", etc.

One game they showed was interesting though.

LittleBigPlanet: Master Chief ODST
Project Spark is Microsoft's answer to LBP. You can create and share your own gametypes and maps. The main advantage to Microsoft's one is that it's fully 3D, and the map editor doesn't suck.
