  1. Definitely hoping to hear more news and announcements on the Square Enix Final Fantasy VII remake. This was one of the most impactful games of the franchise and it definitely will always be a classic that moved me the most emotionally in my teenage years. From story line, to the original soundtrack – it’s still something I listen to at home! Can’t wait for the FF7 remake!

  2. looking forward to an avengers game , with a wide choice of playable charcectors , having a bad dY hULK SMASH ,or chilling swing with spidey be sophisticated with ironman

  3. I’m super excited to hear about the new iron man vr game coming to the PS4/PlayStation VR. I’m a big fan of Marvel and I have been told good things about ps4, and PlayStation VR.

  4. The rumored announcement of George RR Martin’s collaboration with From Software on a game sounds amazing. It should be shown at the Microsoft presentation from what I’ve heard. I love From’s games, and the idea of getting a great story teller like Martin involved is a great opportunity for something special. Can’t wait!

    Thanks for the contest.

  5. Pokemon Sword and Shield developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company and Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. Announced by Nintendo. As an avid Pokemon Go player this is somewhat of a nostalgic throwback I’ve been looking forward to from the day it was announced. Especially awesome is that it’s on the Switch – which makes portable gaming an absolute dream. a comment beneath this article, tell us what gami ng announcement has you most excited in 2019 and why.

  6. I’m looking forward to a Final Fantasy VII Remake from Square Enix. Such a great series and it’s been a long wait for some new stuff.

  7. I am most excited for Naughty Dog’s Last of Us II and the Final Fantasy 7 remake. I want to know what happens to Joel and Ellie after the events of part 1. The Last of Us is also by far my favorite game. I am also a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series, so I am excited to see ffvii get a graphics update and some voice acting since the story is so good.

  8. My most anticipated moment is for Xbox to reveal more details on the new ori and the blind forest game, or the new battle toads game. There’s been no word about those games since they were announced.

  9. Looking forward to the new Call of duty modern Warfare Reboot on Xbox one that will be release in October.

  10. I am SO excited for the new game Planet Zoo that will be showing at E3. Ive wanted a new zoo tycoon game and the small amount of information that’s been released shows this to be so much better than what I had hoped would be in a remake. I cannot wait for this game and for more information from E3!! Frontier is releasing the game in the fall on PCs. I also love that they are reading this game on a pc. I like taking my laptop wherever I want and still am able to play! They do not have a booth at E3 but will premier the game Monday June 10 at 5pm UTC and will be available by appointment for content creators to play the game. I’m hoping to see some great gameplay.

  11. The one announcement I’m mostly looking forward to is cyber punk 2077 created by CD Projekt I’m definitely looking forward to this because it been in development for 2 since it was announced I’m hoping we can try some gameplay and maybe get an actual release date for the game

  12. I would love to won a Nintendo switch to complete my Nintendo game console collection. The games on this system would be great to play with the whole family. My wife and spent many hours before we had kids gaming, and I could probably convince her to play more if we had Mario Kart again!

  13. I look forward to the Xbox announcement every year. Xbox has been a big part of my family’s entertainment since the first Xbox console first came out, and now we have the Xbox One X. I cant wait to hear about the new console they are developing.

  14. I’ve been really looking forward to the new call of duty modern warfare game (: I’ve loved the hole series so much and I would give everything I could to see that amazing captain price again (:

  15. I am most excited about Call of Duty:Modern Warfare coming out from Activision this year. Call of Duty was the first video game I tried on new platforms after growing up on the Atari playing Space Invaders and Battlezone. What a change.

  16. I am looking forward to Microsoft’s Minecraft Earth. I think it is an incredible way to blend augmented reality and my favourite pastime – Minecraft. I think it will be a fun way to see the capabilities of augmented reality.

  17. My husband and I are both gamers. We own every old system but since we’ve had kids we haven’t bought any new systems. My son is becoming an avid gamer and I would love to have a Nintendo switch to show him some of the games that really got me into gaming. I think the game son this platform would also get my daughter more interested in gaming. She loves Mario run on her tablet so I think she love playing classics like Mario brothers and Mario Kart.

  18. For me the most exciting news of 2019 would be the upcoming Fire Emblem : Three Houses from Nintendo and made by Intelligent Systems. Can’t wait to see what they can do to make the game different this time! Looking forward to a challenge playing this strategy game on the hardest difficulty!

  19. Echoing comments already posted, anything from Nintendo is always exciting. Also interested in seeing what Sony has in store for the last run for PS4 – specifically Square Enix on updates on Final Fantasy. Perhaps any new ports for the Nintendo Switch.
    E3 is always where I plan what I get for the next year so I am always excited to see and hear all the announcements.

  20. I’m most excited for news on Animal Crossing for the Switch! My siblings and I grew up loving the gamecube, then DS and Wii versions, and we all cant wait to start a new town!

  21. I’m most excited for halo infinite (by 343 industries) as I love that entire franchise and I enjoy the vast story the game will be able to tell on Xbox, however a close second is the last of us 2 by naughtydog, I think that is one of the best PlayStation exclusives today

  22. I am most excited about pokemon sword and shield, published by nintendo. This is a game that comes in 2 varieties, a sword game and a shield game. This announcement is important to me because of my love for pokemon, i grew up on pokemon games since i was 6 years old. These game are why i am the person i an today, theyve changed me and i can’t wait to play another one of their games and relive that memory.

  23. I’m moat excited to see some news about FF7RE or Re3 Remake. Final Fantasy 7 was one of my most played games during my childhood, and Resident Evil 3 was my favourite installment in the series.

  24. Not seeing my comment in post so I am reposting
    Nintendo has been on a tear with it’s announcements of the E3 Nintendo Direct and Smash Bros Ultimate 2019 Invitational. What is exciting for me personally is that internet speculation on the arrival of a new or multiple roster additions to the Smash Bros Ultimate ! Having played and owned every iteration I look forward to what the big N has in store for us all!

  25. I’m looking forward to PS 5, hoping for a fast processor on solid state drive giving lightning speed, high def smooth images with cool temperatures. Although not available this year it will be compact and backwards compatible for all PS4 games.

  26. I am most excited for Pokémon Sword and Shield for Nintendo Switch. I have played every generation since I was a kid and I am excited to see what they do with the series on the more powerful Switch.

  27. I heard this week that the next Call of Duty will be a reboot of Modern Warfare!! And Activision decided to bring back the campaign mode!!! I was so disappointed when I bought the last CoD and realized there was no campaign mode. Can’t wait for October 25!!

  28. I am most interested in Marvel’s Avengers by Crystal Dynamics/Square-Enix. Hoping it is every bit as epic as the film’s were even if it has a different storyline (Though I hope the Infinity Stones are involved).

  29. I’m looking forward to getting any new information about The Avengers Project. Ever since Marvel and Square Enix announced that they’d be partnering up I’ve been clamouring to get any new updates on the project.

    When growing up my twin brother and I spent a lot of time playing video games and didn’t have much interest in doing anything else. It wasn’t until our older brother introduced us to comics that we entered Marvel fandom. We then spent our youth in our family basement talking comics and video games.

    I’m now a little older with small kids myself. We haven’t a video game system in the house for a little while but, since seeing the trailer for The Avengers Project, promised myself that we’d get a new console (and the game) so that my own children would get the opportunity to experience the fun of playing in the Marvel universe. I may, of course, play a little myself to recapture some of the joy from my youth (but don’t tell my wife).

  30. I really want to see what AMD is brining to the table this year. Between their video cards, and (obviously) lack of exploits on their processors, GO TEAM RED !! 😀

  31. I’m most excited about death stranding by Kojima productions and Sony interactive. Love me some Kojima games and this looks real interesting and like it has a deep story to uncover, something alot if games miss.

  32. I’m really looking forward to the Microsoft conference. The strides that they are making when it comes to PC gaming are very interesting.

    I play a lot of PC games with my friends and the Microsoft Store isn’t the most user-friendly experience, so I am hoping that they show a re-vamp for the store and make it a bit more approachable. Microsoft has mentioned that changes are coming and that the Xbox Games Pass is coming to PC as well, so that is very exciting since I already am a part of that program on Xbox.

    Also, if they talk about Halo: Reach coming to the PC, that would be fantastic! They did mention that it was on the horizon, so any news is good news!

  33. I’m most excited to see anything about the new generation of consoles, specifically the PlayStation one! Hope they announce it

  34. Pokémon Sword & Shield, Nintendo / The Pokémon Company. Pokémon is one of if not the best game series of all time and I can’t wait for the next main series installment on the Switch!

    Shout out to Pokémon Sleep too, who would’ve thought that the Pokémon Company is doing more for people’s health then almost anyone else??

  35. I can’t wait for more information on the PS5 and maybe even a Xbox one update or new console as well. I’m looking forward to see if there will be any new cross platform games available for both Xbox and PS. To be honest I’m excited for any to all updates and new releases coming this year at 2019 E3. I just hope there is something that will surprise me. Like new game or update.

  36. I am desperately waiting for Jurassic World Evolution for Xbox one. It’s out June 7th. I am obsessed with all things Jurassic.

  37. I’m most excited for the announcement of upcoming Bungie content and the plan going forward for Destiny 2 and 3. I’m interested to see how they are going to go forward on their own, without Activision. Also what’s happening with the new Xbox.
