As a gamer, I am shameful to admit that this is the first ever E3 in which I have followed religiously. I’m not in LA or anything, just watching all the conferences on time and did my best to catch up on most gameplays. On the bright side, it brings me tremendous joy to know that 2019 was my first REAL E3. For lack of a better word, GODDAMN IT, E3 2019 WAS AAAMMAAZING. And there are so many reasons why.
II. 3 Games That I’m Most Excited For
1. Cyberpunk 2077
This is the most hyped-about game of 2020, even more so than Final Fantasy VII: Remake, I’d say. To a certain degree, this hype is justifiable. It’s a brand new IP from CD Projekt, the same people that brought us Saints Row 2, and more notably, the Witcher series. Based on the same lore as its predecessor Cyberpunk 2020, CD Projekt is ready to once again rule over my every free and waking thoughts of the day. I’m honestly more hyped about it than I am for Final Fantasy VII: Remake.
2. Elden Ring
World and lore from Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R.R. Martin?!? Gameplay and combat mechanics from FromSoftware?! Are you serious!? What is this?! The Golden Ratio!? I think my reaction speaks for itself.
3. Final Fantasy VII: Remake
I think I’ve spoken enough about my hype for this game in my Best In Show. So for this, I will leave you with two of my thoughts while watching Square Enix’s 2019 E3 conference. One, “Holy shit, if cross-slash looks this good on a giant scorpion robot, what is omi-slash going to look like on Sephiroth?!” Two, could we be potentially getting more content that will flush out FFVII in ways that the original never did? I cannot wait to find out.
