There's a secret one that I know is very likely to be there and I won't mention it cause I want it to be a surprise, but that would be number one. I'm just going to exclude it from the list. It's one that has been mentioned already anyway.
Cyberpunk 2077 for real. I am hyped about its style/presentation and very interested in what they'll do with it after making The Witcher 3. It's a whole new setting and a new system they'll be using. I am a huge GitS fan... I dove deep into its philosophical statements. I'm not sure that Cyberpunk will go that route (I know the Cyberpunk system is in ways a little light-hearted) but the teaser for this game is oozing style. I want a new Cyberpunk 2077 wallpaper from this E3. Preferably of a spider tank. I hope they nail the pacing. I wouldn't trust any other dev to make this game. I believe in you, RED.
Vampyr looks interesting. I can't wait to find out more about this game. Reminds me of Vampire the Masquerade. Will it be as good? Unlikely. But still... We haven't seen any game like it for about 13 years(!!)! 13 years! That is an absurd amount of time in the gaming industry. We're ready. It's time, baby. Work those fangs.
Mario Odyssey rumored to have a playable demo at E3. Very interested in that! 3D platformers are underappreciated on this forum. Mario games are jolly. They make me feel good. They make me feel happy. In a world where half the population is taking anti-depressants, this game should be at the top of people's wishlists. What are you doing?
I want to see what RDR2 is going to be like. RDR somehow hooked me more than any GTA ever did including GTAV! Very curious about what you get to do in this game and the required specs now that Scorpio and PS4 Pro are going to be out. I have a cowboy hat here from the buffalo bill show in Disneyland that I went to as a kid. That hat is cleaned and prepped. The wait is long.
I want more information about Death Stranding. I'm one of the few who believe that Kojima doesn't just make up random stories. Sure he purposefully takes stories in unexpected directions and has fun with it. To call it just random is a huge misunderstanding of his talent. He knows how to balance fact and fiction like no one else. For the amount of self importance invoked in the MGS series, he used the perfect timing and amount of completely unimportant details. It's a form of humor that is rare in gaming. All while delivering relevant commentary on the world we live in. I am very interested in the story and gameplay of Death Stranding. And also, the cinematography. That's right. Kojima is the only person in the industry that can make me care about camera work in a game. Because he's so good at it.

I would put Monhun on this list but I want a Monhun on the Switch/PC and I'm pretty sure the next one will be on 3DS again... So, de-hyped.
Also 2DS/3DS owners keep an eye out for Forever Oasis. This game is doing lackluster in terms of generating hype and even preview impressions. But I get a bit of a 'The world ends with you' vibe off this game (in that it will be a very poorly received, but a great game that everyone should have played). Also read up on Treehouse when they're done. They are underappreciated from a news perspective.
As a bonus I'd like a sequel to Populous: The Beginning to be announced. Just make it happen. Molyneux, snap those fingers. Snap 'm. Never gonna happen but I keep the dream alive.
