Most excited about the Sony Playstation 5. Always been a huge playstation fan, and so far the info that has been shown about it has me very excited, especially the backwards compatibility.
Madden from easports
The most exciting news has to be Unisoft releasing Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint earlier than anticipated. Apart from the crisp graphics, the gameplay also hints at hunting spec Ops agents gone rogue. This could only mean one thing, either a new game mode, or the possibility of multiplayer missions. Either way, can’t wait!!!
Looking forward to seeing Cyberpunk 2077 by CD Projekt, this game has been highly anticipated since 2012 and I can’t wait to get my hands on it when it releases
I’m hoping desperately for animal crossing switch news from Nintendo; it’s been too long since we’ve had a brand new animal crossing to look forward to and the unconfirmed release is agony. acnl has been my escape for years and i’m so excited to meet new villagers and build a beautiful town
Really looking forward to seeing Uncharted 5 on E3!
Cyberpunk 2077 – The cyberpunk world is vast and amazing. I have spent many hours playing RPG’s of Cyperpunk, as well as loving amines and movies set in similar settings.
The manufacturer, CD Projekt S, is a fantastic games maker. Looker at Witcher 3. Cyberpunk is a game which I am more than looking forward to and hoping for great things
I’m really looking forward to hearing and hopefully seeing more about Microsoft’s next gen console Xbox Scarlett. I’ve owned and been a fan of Xbox since the first gen console and always looking to see what Microsoft will come up with next. Halo being one of xbox’s top games and my personal favorites, I’m hoping to see some game play and hear more details on Halo Infinite!
I wait to new Pokémon on Switch. I was never disappointed about a game of the serie.
Looking forward to the ps5 announcement… love the console … hoping to see backwards compatibility and a major hardware upgrade … hopefully an ssd and lot of memory
Can’t wait for the ryzen 3000 CPUs from AMD! A worthy intel competator, and a great new addition to my build.
Can’t wait for more Final Fantasy 7 Remake news for the PS4 from Square Enix, that game is a big part of my childhood.
There’s one game and only one that I’ve been waiting years for. Square Enix is making an avengers game and I’ve been anticipating something like this for a long long time. The fact that it is Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics and Eidos (who worked on one of my favorite all time games series Blood omen) gets me even more excited!!
I cannot wait to see what we’re in for with the Avengers video game!!
Looking forward to Death Stranding and Final Fantasy 7 for PS4. Hoping that Final Fantasy 7 won’t become a PS5 title.
Cyberpunk 2077 for PS4!! Why? The Witcher series is amazing (I played those games to death) and therefore I will always look forward to anything from CD Projekt. This new world looks awesome and I can’t wait to play!
By far the latest Call of Duty: Modern Warfare by InfinityWard. I’ve always loved playing the Call of Duty series on both PS3 and PS4 and to see that this game will not include the exoskeleton suits or thrusters reminds me of the older games and wanting to get back into competitive gaming.
Another game that had me pumped was Days Gone by SIE Bend Studio from the previous E3. I have yet to play it but if chosen it would be great to experience it and see what the game is like.
I’ve always been an Xbox fan, I haven’t had a chance yet to get the Xbox one. I’d love to win the Xbox one X as it’s even better than the Xbox one, graphics are key for me and I love immersing myself into the beautiful games of the graphics today. Favourite game has to be state of decay on the Xbox, it was amazing and played it for hours! I was screaming when I heard the Xbox one X would be being released from Microsoft and I really hope to win this prize bundle of the Xbox one X Tom Clancy’s The division 2!!
The new Star Wars: Fallen Order game from EA. Been waiting for a good 3rd person Star Wars game since the Force Unleashed series ended. The gameplay for that series was great and hoping the new game picks up where they left off
As an Xbox user you know I’m looking forward to see what Microsoft has in store for everyone who owns an Xbox!
The announcement of Death Stranding coming this November in the year 2019 is an amazing surprise! The announcement trailer looked positively weird and unique, which is everything I’m personally looking for in games these days. It is a stand-out among releases for this year and I just can’t wait to play it. My availability for gaming has been difficult lately, but this is one game I really want to commit to.
I’m excited for the new call of duty: modern warfare by Infinity ward. It’s been a while since they’ve made a game like this, a non-futuristic, game. I’ve been playing call of duty since the original modern warfare, so to see this was really exciting to me. I can’t wait to see more of the campaign soon!
I’m really looking forward to Borderlands 3 by Gearbox Software. Ever since I finished playing all borderlands game, I’ve been looking forward to borderlands 3. I miss the grinding, weapons with special effects, sirens, Easter eggs, and playing them with my friends.
I’m very excited for The Last of Us 2 for the PlayStation 4 by Naughty Dog. The story telling in that game seems fantastic. I hope we hear something at E3 even though Sony isn’t attending.
I am looking forward to see news on Halo 6 by 343. Halo for me is why I’m Xbox, A friend showed it to me and I got hooked…I have played all but the fireteam one, And over the past year my kids have started playing halo too. So I am looking forward to the next chapter in the store….and to be able to play it with my kids on one T.V. as they are bring back Split screen!
I am most excited to hear more about the PS5 and maybe more about Jedi Fallen Order.
I’m excited for anything Nintendo has to reveal they always have the best games. I can’t wait to see what they have in store for the Nintendo Switch this E3.
I’m most excited for the Final Fantasy VII Remake by Square Enix. This was the first RPG I ever played on my own and completed, also the first Final Fantasy game I ever played. And it’s the game that started my life-long love affair with RPGs and videogames in general.
I’m very excited about Mario Maker 2 from Nintendo and The last of Us 2 for PS4 coming out by NaughtyDog! I can’t wait to see what E3 has in store this summer and showing off more of thoes games and I know they will be bast sellers at Best Buy I’m going to attain 😉
And hopefully a Ps5 announcement as well would be very exciting!!
I’m looking forward to Last of Us 2, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Apex Legends Season 2 battle pass and updates. And anything PS5 related.
I am very excited for Square Enix Final Fantasy VII I had so many hours into the game when it first came out I cant wait to the the graphics and game play with the new one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has to be:
PlayStation 4 Pro 1TB Console
My son is barely making ends meet, being divorced and with his 11 year old daughter. I’d LUV to get him this so they can have great gobs of fun together! My grand daugher would so surprised, and my son would be over the moon!

I’m looking forward to Atomic Heart, available for PC, PS4, and Xbox 1… and Death Stranding for PS4
Being an avid gamer my whole life owning and playing every system that has ever come to market. It is impossible to pick just 1 excitement because there is so much i am waiting for from every developer like, Ubisoft, Gearbox, Kojima, Nintendo, Square Enix and the list would go on. Title’s like, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint…. Borderlands 3…. Death stranding…. Pokemon sword and shield and Links awakening…. the long awaited Final fantasy 7 remastered….. these are a small portion of the announcements I have to look forward to at E3 and many more. What i would love to see at E3 is the PS5 and OMG I would love it….
CyberPunk 2077 because CD Projekt Red built one of the most immersive and near-perfect game worlds with The Witcher 3.
One way or another, E3 2019 is sure to have some awesome announcements for gamers.
I am excited to hear more about pokemon sword/shield from Nintendo for the Switch. I have been a ling time Nintendo fan and Nintendo announced some of my most favourite titles, such as Fire emblem, Pokemon, and even Persona. Can’t wait!
Square-Enix
Final Fantasy VII Remake
I grew up in the NES era and one of the first games i fell in love with was Final Fantasy. I played the snot out of FF1 & FF2 and then I played a bit of 3 before i owned my SNES. I never really hunted down the rest of the Final Fantasy games to play until I got my Sony Playstation. I remember when I asked for it for Christmas my mother told me it would be the only thing she could afford and i would not get any other gifts if i got it. Needless-to-say, that was my only gift that year and I played that demo disk more than one should admit until i finally saved up enough money to buy FFVII. Then the magic happened. To this day, that game has the most hours I’ve ever dumped into a game. I remember having to ask my friends for tips (no access to internet and such for me back then) on how to use materia and beat the weapons.
Anyways, tones of great memories with that game. Now that they are doing a remake of it, i couldn’t be any more excited. I have this game pre-ordered now since E3 of 2015. I can’t wait to see what Square-Enix has done to bring this game into this generation. I also hope that the younger folks give the original a play through first to appreciate where this game is coming from and how amazing it was back then.
For me, it will definitely be Death Stranding. The storytelling and game play for Hideo Kojima games were always compelling.
I’m super excited for Sword and Shield. I’m an avid Pokémon player.
I’m most excited by The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Remake made by Nintendo. I loved the original SNES game and can’t wait to play the remake on Switch
I’ve been a huge PlayStation nut since the original PS was released so I’m most stoked to hear more about the PS5 and about the gaming lineup they have planned for its release!
Definitely Death Stranding FTW!!
Ghost recon Breakpoint by Ubisoft. The graphics and gameplay look amazing.
Super excited about Mario Maker. Can’t wait to design my own levels and letting my kids and their buddies play it on the switch.
Very excited to play Pokémon Sword and Sheath for the Nintendo Switch, created by Game Freak. It’s the first original full Pokémon game for this system. I love these games and I love finding and catching all the new monsters!
I am excited for the release of the Last of US 2 game for the PlayStation 4. There have been a few trailers and gameplay demos; however, Naughty Dog has not yet announced the games official release date. Hopefully it will be shortly, and we can play it in 2019. The first game had such great story and gameplay. Naughty Dog is such a great developer, that I am confident that The Last of US 2 will be just as great at the original.
I’m most excited for marvels big announcement at E3 this year. It would be great to have a brand new system to play it on! Gaming for life!
Last of us naughty dog looking forward for it
I’m most excited for the upcoming pokemon sword and shield by game freak. Nintendo games have always been there to bring me joy and I grew up with nintendo from gameboy, to ds and wii but to have a game company that has sparked my childhood gaming experience. I want to go back and see how much development was made for the next pokemon game as I lost track from school and not having enough resources to play the other pokemon games.
I am super hyped for a new Animal Crossing game from Nintendo since we really had a new one since new leaf(I don’t count HHD). I am also really stoked about having more Legend of Zelda from Nintendo, Cadence of Hyrule sounds really awesome!
Also, I’d love the Nintendo package or the PS4 package since I want to get into gaming more.
