What was the best announcement of a video game? There has got to be a video game reveal that gets people crazy and spark a massive hype.

You've got a long way to go in order to beat Smash Bros Brawl, frankly.
Snake's announcement took everyone by surprise.

The announcement of an actual, 100% guaranteed release date for Half Life 3. Not Episode 3. HALF LIFE 3. At this point, it better be!

We all knew this would come up... but i agree!

I got really excited when i heard about Fallout: New Vegas if that counts. But the way Valve hinted at Portal 2 recently and then announced was great.

ARGH! I hate cryptic bullshit like the Portal 2 stuff.

Spore..demo galore and hyped beyond recognition. Which is ironic in a way because in the version we got there was nothing recognizable form the demo. I hate you EA. Great casual games, terrible execution.

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Quite obviously, the character of Link was based off Miyamoto.

I loved that release announcment blizzard did when you had to collect little clues all over blizzard sites. But as above HL3 would rock!

I have never really heard a games release first hand as I don't keep to keep my eye out for them. Most of the time I find out is from friends or from sites such as this.

Same here. Epic games kept hinting at Gears of War 3 "We cannot say whether or not a new game in the Gears of war series will be announced shortly" and crap like that, when everyone knew that it would be.

It's just childish.

Even though I'm no longer that excited for it. I must have watched the Starcraft 2 release video a hundred times

Blizzard are probably #1 at announcement hype like when they filled a stadium in Korea to announce Starcraft 2. Many people who played MMOs were talking about how they were going to move to the sacred holy land of WoW as soon as the game was announced and non stop until it was released years later.

When I was a kid I sat in front of the computer watching Burnout 3 trailers...
I was a huge fan of Burnout 2, and as soon as the game came out I got my dad to order it online and it came two days later.
Fun times were had for a month...

Blizzard is certainly good at unveiling their new releases. A surprise though? New Vegas was a bit of a "surprise" to me I guess.

Duke Nukem Forever!

OT: Probably Diablo 3, that was pretty cool. Another would be Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. You can't imagine how happy I was as a fan of the series that Infinity Ward was making the next one, and not Treyarch developing another terrible one. I'd actually reverted back to Call of Duty: 2 by that point.

That Warioland game. The Shake one on Youtube, that shook your whole screen apart. I've never even played it, but that was cute.

That Duke Nukem Forever "ad", if it could even be called that, with him lifting weights on a bench was pretty badass.

Definitely this. It was hyped to the max for 2 years straight with them slowly releasing new characters and other updates every week.

It's also the reason why I don't follow hype anymore -_-

The Announcement trailer at Blizzcon for Starcraft 2. Hands down. what was this about two years ago? and arena filled with diehard Blizz fans. An unannounced trailer for a new game that was never announced as SC 2. Extreme closeups of a solider getting suited up, dramtic music, Everyonens thinking it omg is this sc2? and then the screen reads Terran Marine Military status ACTIVE: and as the camera pans around revealing his face from under a cloud of smoke he simply utters the words. " Hell its about damn time". Instant nerdgasm for SC players worldwide who have been waiting for a sequel for ten years.

Wellplayed blizzard, well played. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUXoekeDIW8
