I didn't know that The Last Night had existed in some form since 2014, nor that its creator somehow couldn't resist Twitter's vortex, until I Googled "The Last Night controversy" based on your comment.
I'm still intrigued by the game, but their denial the game looks like Blade Runner is odd ...

I honestly am left wanted a 3DS more than anything else based on Nintendo's presser. I really want Super Mario Odyssey though. That T-Rex ... I'd be more excited for Metroid Prime 4 if I didn't know how to create title cards using PhotoShop and InDesign, since that's all they had to do for that announcement ..
I thought BG&E2 trailer LOOKED amazing ... I just hated the dialogue.
Shadow of the Colossus was the biggest surprise of E3 for me as well. As someone who's never played it and kept hearing it as THE game brought up in "games are art" discussions in its time, I am actually rather stoked. Otherwise, Sony did exactly what it needed to do to get me excited: just show more gameplay from previously announced exclusives to get me more hyped.
People keep comparing Spider-Man to the Arkham titles, but I'm glad Angelo brought up that Arkham borrowed the "Spider sense" mechanic, since combat looked not much different than older Spider-Man titles to me. I'm just excited that the web mechanics during the copter chase seem to mimic Spider-Man 2's. Is there a reason people aren't as excited about that as I am? He was clearly having to attach his webs to buildings while swinging and I can't wait!
I feel like I missed some announcements, since the pressers apparently did not have all of them. I was on YouTube's (BULLSHIT) trailer battle for E3 and noticed WAY more Squeenix than was present in most show rundowns online.
One game I found really interesting I would not have heard about without E3 Trailer Battle was Hidden Agenda:
As someone who kept telling friends Until Dawn would be a perfect party game, this was awesome to me. I honestly think this was my A Way Out from the show, since I'd be more likely to break this out during a gathering than find a person to spend an enttire narrative-driven game with.

Super Mario Odyssey was by far the most ineresting thing they showed for me. Metroid Prime 4 announcement is nice I guess, but that's literally all it is. I could have created my own title card for it and had the exact same reaction, since it would have been just as much of a commitment to actually complete that game.
Zelda and Mario do have me wanting a Switch though, I admit.

I mean ... I didn't forget about the original, nor did I try to. But the fact the remake is happening is something I'm not sure my brain can accept. lol

I was honestly more interested in Sony once again this year, but Odyssey and Metroid II: Reskinned look cool. I'll be hyped for Prime 4 when I see more than a title card and I also want Pokemon Snap 2, or maybe an AR version.
I didn't know about Sonic Force, but I liked the idea behind generations.

I never played the first one and have yet to listen to this ( thought it wouldn't be up until Friday cause of something posted on Twitter), but I cringed when I saw it and it had the number of f bombs you'd experience t from Goodfellas.
I still need to play my Steam copy, but it gave me flashbacks to when they tarnished Prince of Persia for me by giving it a Mortal Kombat makeover after Sands of Time charmed my pants off. Definitely pulled them back up when my protagonist started cursing and calling women bitches.
Unfortunately, that did work financially in PoP's favor, and I can still remember people at my high school being taken with that game's marketing, so ... *sigh*
