My favorite announcement had to be Tales of Vesperia. I've wanted to play that game since forever and now that it's here and I can play the game WITH MY OWN TWO HANDS? God, it's enough to bring me to tears.
Anthony Nash

Cyberpunk 2077 was really great, but I think I’m most excited for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. FromSoftware has proven they know how to make a game, and with them making a game that looks like its set in some ancient Japan? Sign me up.

Really wasn't a big weekend for me. I am not the biggest Bethesda fan and EA pulled a typical EA. For me, the biggest thing came out of Microsoft's conference and it was Jump Force, if only for Light and Ryuk at the end.
Chandler Wood

Microsoft's conference was actually surprising with the number of third-party announcements they had, and was quite relevant to PlayStation owners. I think Devil May Cry 5 was probably the biggest one for me, just because I have a deep history with that series.

My favourite announcement was the brief Cyberpunk 2077 trailer. I think CD Projekt Red delivered the greatest gaming experience I've ever had in The Witcher 3, and at an early glance, they look poised to do that again with Cyberpunk. I was hesitant to invest emotionally in the title before I'd seen anything about it - now I'm ready to book a week off work once we know its release date so I can lose myself in another beautifully crafted CD Projekt Red world.

The original Dying Light did not get nearly enough praise for everything it did so well - a truly revolutionary parkour system, visceral melee combat and an expansion that kept the game going but also moved it forward. Dying Light 2 has been a long time coming, and, if it's supported as much as the original, will stick around for a long time as well.

It's Doom, do I need to say anything more?

I remember hearing about Metal Wolf Chaos as far back as high school, in the early days of YouTube and gaming memes. The crazy voice acting, hilarious dialogue, and legit dope-looking mecha action had me hungry to get my hands on the game back in the early 2000s. Alas, it was only for the Xbox and only in Japan, so I had no easy means to play it. Now, what everyone thought was a joke from Devolver Digital turned out to be real, and the perfect way to end the E3 2018 weekend.
Matthew Forde

E3 has well and truly kicked off in style. Plenty of announcements have been made so far with many more expected with PlayStation, Ubisoft, Square, and Nintendo all to come. So far, for me personally, the announcement of not only a new Forza Horizon but the confirmation that it will be set in my own country of the UK has topped the list. Australia was depicted incredibly well in its predecessor, so I can’t wait to explore Playground Games’ fictionalized version of Britain – potholes and all.
Michael Briers

Doom Eternal. Not the most surprising announcement, but one I'm still incredibly excited about. Inject that all-new Mick Gordon soundtrack into my veins, please and thank you.
