1.Cyberpunk 2077 trailer, the only thing i felt was worth rewatching over and over.
2.Hard to say. Microsoft had the best format but Bethesda had more games i'm interested in. So lets just say Sunday won E3.
- Cyberpunk 2077 - Even if it just shapes up to be like Witcher 3 (highly detailed world with kinda crap combat) i think i'm still on board.
- Hitman 2 - already know i'm going to enjoy more Hitman but i'm curious what the "full" released game will be.
- Rage 2 - If it's Doom FPS combat with Mad Max vehicular combat, i'm gonna love it.
- Doom Eternal - I liked Doom so more is good.

Honorable mentions, Chris Avallone's Dying Light 2 could be interesting. I didn't play the first one so i'm not hyped for it but if the dynamic story telling works well, it it has me intrigued. Sekiro looks interesting to me but don't really know what to expect. Tenchu meets Dark Souls? Unexpectedly, Gears Tactics looks like something i could be into so i'll keep my eye on it. Not sure what to make of Fallout 76, i liked parts of Fallout4 but overall it was disappointing. Elder Scrolls Blades has my curiosity. It almost looks like the combat on the phone manages to be better than the combat in the real games. As for the other Bethesda games, Starfield and ES 6, way too early to be excited for them.
The rest of the Conferences,
EA: As a fan of Battlefield up until Battlefield 3, and someone who hasn't bought an EA game since the disappointing Need For Speed Most Wanted reboot, i'd say Battlefield 5 looks like it could be an ok game but i just have so little faith in EA that it's hard to get excited for anything they do...Everything other than Batt5 i could not care less about.
Devolver Digital: I skipped this one and only caught the game highlights, dunno what Metal Wolf Chaos is. Could be interesting. My Friend Pedro looks floaty and too "auto action-y". And i'm not hugely into multiplayer survival games so Scum does nothing for me.
Square Enix: The first Tomb Raider reboot was ok but not interesting enough to get excited for the rest of the series, yet it was the only thing here that's worthy of note.
Ubisoft: again, nothing here for me. I've played the first 3 Assassin Creed games and i'm good there. i like Trials, but not enough to get excited for more of the same. If there's depth, no pun intended, to Skull and Bones maybe it'll be ok but doesn't look good enough to make me want to jump through the U-Play hurdle.
PC Gaming Show: As expected you get your largest variety of gaming here but i'm not a fan of the talk show format, it's completely unnecessary for this thing to be a live show. The few highlights for me were Hitman 2, Anno 1800, Two Point Hospital and Valkyeria Chronicles 4 which was just a small part of a Sega collage of games. The biggest lowlight, hearing "Neo Cab" - thinking, "Quarantine spiritual successor" - realizing, "No, it's a visual novella".
Sony: Disappointing and a bit oddly formulaic in their main presentations. The Last of Us 2 , "gameplay" gave me a, "Division closing the car door" vibe. Ghost of Tsuhima just looked to be in the same camp of, "pretty w/ thin gameplay" which seems to be a Sony exclusives trademark. Death Stranding at least had the decency to cut between cutscene and apparent gameplay, though, boring gameplay. Spiderman's presentation also looked more interested in being "cinematic" rather than a game despite the fact that i've previously seen what looks like real gameplay and that footage at least looked good. So by the end of it, Sony's...thing, just looked like a scam and an analogue for how samey their exclusives seem to be.
Nintendo: Killer Queen coming to consoles seems cool but i've never actually played the arcade game to know if it's any good. Overcooked 2, sure, i liked the first one. Nothing else stood out to me personally.
