Nintendo has revitalized my interest in gaming! I stopped playing all games after the Nintendo Gamecube; I wasn’t having as much fun anymore. That all changed when I saw the first Switch announcement. Now in my mid-thirties, I purchased a launch day Switch and haven’t looked back. So this E3, I’m most looking forward to more Mario Maker 2 information, as I didn’t play the first. I can’t think of anything better than an infinite number of Mario Bros. levels!
I am looking forward to more news about Cyberpunk 2077 by developer CD Projekt. Based on early news and leaks, it looks like it’s going to be a really deep game and based on their previous entries in the Witcher series, I know this team has a talent for world building and story telling. The game looks to have a very 80s sci-fi vibe, a la total recall which I love and their game worlds always feel “lived in” which also helps with the immersion. This announcement is important to me because there hasn’t been a release from this team since the third Witcher installment and after getting through GOW 2018, RDR2 and Spiderman 2018, I am out of any single player, narrative driven games to play.
Call of duty modern war fare 4! Heard about it on YouTube.
Very excited for Pokémon Sword and Shield! I’ve been waiting to relive my childhood by playing Pokémon on a mobile system.
Of all things I’m hoping for the Splinter Cell announcement from Ubisoft. I grew up on those games and love them. Hitman sort of filled the gap, but for some reason it never properly scratched the itch. A second option would be Horizon Zero Dawn 2, game was amazing and everyone needs to experience it.
Animal Crossing for Switch!!
I am most excited to see what direction Microsoft is going to take the Xbox and Halo Infinite and also see if they are finally going to announce Halo 6 or at least split screen Multiplayer for Halo 5. Also more of an update on Cyberpunk 2077.
Love the Xbox One X prize package you have listed.
I always look forward to Bethesda’s forum the most. From Doom, Wolfenstein, and especially the Elders Scroll series they are definitely my favourite. As far as a prize pack, I’m a PS4 player most of the time and could use a Pro console, I have had the current PS4 since release week. Only console I don’t have is a Switch and a decent PC gaming system. All packages look great and would get an insane amount of use!
I am SUPER hyped for Square Enix’s ‘Marvel’s Avengers’! Very little has been said about this game, which just adds to the hype! This is an important announcement because, as a huge comic book and MCU film fanatic, being a part of a world that my favourite superheroes live in, would be just incredible!
Mostly looking forward to final fantasy, modern warfare, fall out, assassin creed, and hopefully a new console announcement.
Plus I would be a big hit with my grandsons if I win!
Most looking forward to the FF7 remake, but after the new Death Stranding trailer I’m excited to see more about that as well!
For me the most exciting announcement is going to be the Cyberpunk 2077 release date. The creators of the game, CD Project Red, never cease to amaze me and have revolutionized story driven RPGs. Cyberpunk 2077 looks to revolutionize the genre even further and looks like it will be the most alive in game city in gaming history.
I’m definitely excited about Bloodlines 2 (Paradox), as I’m still playing Redemption and the First Bloodline to this day!! Hardware announcement is also nice 🙂
Excited for Mario maker. When it got announced by Nintendo I was so excited. I’d been hoping for an updated version. Plus, it supports 2 players.
Final Fantasy VII Remake announced by Square Enix is probably the biggest announcement. It is the perfect timing for its launch. The PS5 and new Generation Consoloses and gaming streaming services are upon us in 2020 so it is for sure a great time to be alive and to be a gamer. Can’t wait for it all.
I am most excited about the announcement of Super Mario Maker 2 being released for the Switch. Preview looks great!
I would like to win a Nintendo Switch, because the upcoming game Mario Maker 2 is basically a dream come true for me.
What I’m excited to see is another announcement for the next Halo game for Xbox One, Halo Infinite by Microsoft and 343 industries. This announcement is important to me because Halo has been a huge part of my life. It’s the first FPS I ever played and it’s reason I got an Xbox. Another reason why it’s so important is because I managed to meet my a lot of my friends online through Halo.
Looking forward to Gears 5 and the future road map of Xbox
Nintendo Switch – Pokémon Shield and Pokémon Sword. Let’s go, Pikachu was awesome, so we are excited for the new series. 🙂
im excited for any new Role Playing games and sandbox games coming for pc/xbox one. such as cyberpunk 2077 by cd projekt and jedi fallen order by ea games . as I use them as interactive tv/movies instead of the old boring ad filled tv shows on the cable box.it will also be interesting to see how the nex gen consoles will turn out.
outer worlds
I have two answers:
I am looking forward to the release of Paradox Interactive’s Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2;
But what I would really LOVE to see is the return of Asheron’s Call. It has been over 18 months since it closed down, and I still REALLY miss it!
I am very excited for animal crossing on the Nintendo switch. I used to play animal crossing on my ds a lot when I was younger and loved it. I am a fan of Nintendo games in general but I have not been genuinely excited for something like I am for this game in a very long time.
Playstation 5, New Xbox and Switch Pro
I grew up playing ps console games since playstation 1 and really enjoyed a lot of games and I have never changed consoles even if I hear good games from other consoles I guess it’s a matter of patronizing what I love in hopes that they would continue to make more games with that said I am really excited with all the remakes that is being done especially Final Fantasy 7 which I would say was the biggest one they have on the franchise but I still enjoyed all the other ones they had once your a fan you can never get it out of your system. What a great time to be alive for this exciting things! Keep up the great job best buy!
I’m most excited for the possible announcement of a new Fable game by Playground games for the Xbox. Rumours have been going around for a while and I’m really looking forward to something concrete.
Cyberpunk 2077 for sure.
I am excited about Call of Duty Modern Warfare, announced by Activision. I am excited about it because it will be the first cross platform game and the new game engine looks amazing.
Most excited for the new call of duty, gears 5 and borderlands 3
excited for Switch Mario 2!
I’m excited to see if Microsoft announces the next generation consoles for xbox.
I am excited for Microsoft to announce their next generation consoles. I love my xbox one x and I’m buying a new qled TV so I’d love to pair it with a new and exciting console from xbox.
I am most excited for Digimon Survive for the XB1, and PS4 by BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment. Old style RPG with inspirations for art style, character design, and game play by the anime show from the 90s, Digimon Adventure. A game made developed with North American and Europe audience in mind.
Definitely anything PS5 related or new details about Death Stranding!
I’m most excited about the Avengers Project from Square Enix! I’ve been a huge comic fan since childhood and still love all things Avengers. Can’t wait to play whatever this game turns out to be!
I am excited for death stranding for ps4. Incredibly intriguing game, plus it’s made by kojima. Plus Madds Mikkelsen and Norman Reedus are amazing actors, can’t wait to see them in action.
Definitely interested in news of next gen Xbox console. I’m holding out til next gta release before purchasing.
I’m amped for cyberpunk 2077 from cd projekt red on pc. Here’s hoping for a release date! I’m a sucker for cybernetic distopias. Looks even better than deus Ex!
modern warfare on june the 11th is what im most anticipated for in this years e3, mw2 was my first game on my first console the ps3 & has changed my life for the better, gaming itself opens a new world where you can interact and for me it was a eye opener i grew up with the call of duty series since then and i wouldnt change my life for it it was an experiance of a lifetime, versus friends of mine, getting a platnim trophy at only 12 years old was my greatest accomploshment. i can’t wait what modern warfare has in store this year by the best publisher activision. i for real need this xbox one x so i can experience this game in hand but youtubers have a better chance cause they get to go to infinity ward studios. i have bought almost everygame from bestbuy and every console i own from bestbuy cause they dont ever lack in support thankyou
Really looking forward to Final Fantasy VII remake finally!! It’s my favourite FF game and what they’ve shown so far looks amazing! For new games I’m looking forward to EA’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order since SW: KoTOR I & II were epic.
What I’m excited to see is another announcement for the next Halo game on Xbox One, Halo Infinite by Microsoft and 343 Industries. This announcement is important to me because Halo has been a huge part of my life. It’s the first FPS I ever played and it’s reason I got an Xbox. I also managed to meet my a lot of my friends online through Halo.
The PS4 pro my PS4 is dying and I really need a new on also google and songs with there new speaker.
I will be looking forward to news from Square Enix in regards to more on Final Fantasy VII and of course, any more news on Kingdom Hearts would be amazing as I am OBSESSED!!! I’m also excited about Nintendo’s announcements!
May your heart be your guiding key! 😉
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!
I’m very excited for Gears 5 and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order for xbox. I’m looking forward to hearing about the new systems coming out. In regards to Gears 5 developed by The Coalition (formerly Black Tusk Studios) Gears 5 aims to up the scale of the series, while also shedding light on returning Gears of War 4 character Kait Diaz, who is now the protagonist for the next game. Though the franchise has always adhered closely to its cover-to-cover shooting mechanics, Gears 5 looks to be the most significant departure we’ve seen yet, placing more emphasis on melee combat and exploration of the planet Sera following the events of Gears of War 4. This is what I know so far and it’s super exciting.
Thanks for having a sweepstakes, by the way. I’m most excited to see what the next-gen consoles have to offer. I’m really curious to see how much they’re going to cost and if they’ll be light years better than the current ones. Good luck all, and thanks again!
Most excited for Call of Duty Modern Warfare. Have played every game since 2007 and I am looking forward to my favorite part of the sub series to return. Activision made the announcement
Looking forward to more info on the new Zelda
The Borderlands 3 announcement from 2K games has to be the most pumped for a ps4 video game I’ve been in years. Between the cel shaded art style that stands the test of time to how replayable each borderlands is with each character making every play through unique, I really believe they will knock the 3rd instalment out of the park as they have in previous games. 2K games and Gearbox software have yet to let me down!
Nintendo’s pokemon sword and sheild. I grew up on pokemon and would love to continue the adventures with my children.
I can’t wait for news on pokémon sword and shield by nintendo for the switch! Haven’t missed a game in the past 15 years, truly an amazing series. i’m ready.
