"gameplay, DUH! TC is so stupid for asking such obvious questions🤦♂️"
Gameplay as an answer is too broad. What is the one specific thing that is the most important to you? Art style, combat system, enemies variety, enemies design, etc.
Personally, its the aesthetics/art direction. If its not to my liking, even if the "gameplay" is good, i will never enjoy the game as much as i could have.
It should be a Factorio expansion. At least a FF7 Re-whatever-the-****, or a Persona-new-number. We would also take a Holl-oh-no-you-did-Knight sequel.
Oh you said freshly announced. Maybe a survival crafting game? Idk this is a a difficult question.
@hardwenzen: Like I care about the opinion of someone who chooses art direction over gameplay 🤮
Can you play the game to judge its gameplay when its first shown to the public? Nope. Can you judge the art direction when the game is first shown? Yes.
Nothing in particular, really. Just want the game to show me something cool or interesting. New ideas, interesting narrative setting, aesthetically pleasing art style, etc.

Lol, I'm shocked!
Anyway, as for me, it's hard to pick one specific thing that draws me to a game. I guess to put it simply, I'm drawn to games that have interesting game mechanics first & foremost. If a trailer shows gameplay that looks fun to me, I'll be interested.

Now you're trolling ME? Bro.
Its not my fault Fromsoft has spoiled me with the best aesthetics in a video game that the industry has ever seen.
@madrocketeer: what madrockateer said. It needs to be revolutionary in a sense.
For example: there are many movies. But some are a step above the rest. You wouldn’t put these particular movies with the rest. You’d call them game changers. (No pun intended)

I have to get you back sometimes... 99% of the time it's the other way around.
The main thing i look into is the devs reputation. Do they have an amazing track record of creating amazing games that focus on gameplay? Then sign me the **** up.
As soon as Nintendo said they were releasing a new Zelda game i automatically preordered. Didnt even see a screenshot.
Depends on the game. But what I first look forward to depends on precedents set forward by the predecessor, previous entry in an old IP. Inspirations in a new IP.
Next question?
In ToTK, I looked forward to potential interactions
In Age of Wonders, I looked forward to seeing how we can grow our cities.
In Cities Skylines 2 I look forward to seeing how Urban Nitty Gritty will work. Will they finally introduce Induced Demand?
In Bayonetta 3, I was looking forward to changes in Combat.
In Stellaris, I was looking forward to seeing how empire managemenet works
If a game is announced by showing off its core premise, I get excited learning how said core premise is utilized.
Sadly, I rarely look forward to anything from new games. Generally I HOPE that they deliver something new and exciting, but more often than not that isn't the case. My other problem is that I want to see the games I've created in my head, and then get upset that they don't know how to read my mind and make exactly what I want. It's ridiculous.

Who would have thought. hardwenzen isn't fussy, they play and totally enjoy anything lol.
If I know there's a ton of CGI and cinematic walking I'm super excited. I can't wait to see these characters talk endlessly, often more than one can play of the game. And then those QTEs appear...
Originality, art direction, and basic facts about what type of game it is.
I'd honestly rather get a one-page press release with some screenshots or short gameplay vids than some epic CGI trailer. Generally speaking, the more "hype" something is, the less I am hyped about it.

That's when I know a game is going to be good.
You will be all over Hellblade 2 when it comes out around 2030. Not sure your S will handle the game, tho.

Well, I mean if this gen is still going by "2030", I think we have much bigger problems with gaming than the Series S. :-S

Not gaming. Microsoft😊
What does that mean?
No Microsoft studios are able to release games in time because of poor management.
Probably art direction/presentation. Even if it's a game of a series that I'm already a fan of, it's going to be an uphill battle in terms of my enjoyment if I don't vibe with it immediately.

Same. Gameplay details or bust. I don't care much for short snips you really gain nothing from.
Building mechanics and freedom of player choice. I am a creative person, so I LOVE when developers give me more control over my experience. So If you give me tools I will get right to it!
Gameplay is the obvious #1, like you said. After that, probably story/art direction. Kinda hard to really nail it down, as opposed to it being a general feeling.
Catchy trailer, interesting setting or gameplay, but also the studios behind it, if they have a good track record with me that goes a long way sometimes.
