I’m super excited for the new super smash bros and Mario kart on the Nintendo Switch, that prize pack will definitely bring back some good childhood memories!
FIFA 2020 by EA, cuz its just awesome
Ff7 remake
I’m hoping to hear about a new dlc character for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles remake, and Pokemon Sword/Shield for the Nintendo Switch as well as the Playstation 5.
Most excited about the PlayStation 4pro for my boyfriend it is his fav way to relax and unwind
Really excited about Pokémon sword and shield for the Nintendo switch. I haven’t played a Pokémon game since I was really little and I’m finally starting to feel like I should return to the series
Would love to see left 4 dead 3 or even Capcom releasing a new Dino Crisis game would be nice at E3. Would love to win the PC gaming prize pack. It’s been a long time since I’ve played PC and would love to get back into it but it costs way to much for a good setup.
I’m most excited about the announcement for the final fantasy 7 remake 🙂 I loved that game as a kid and would love to play it again.
Looking forward to the new call out duty coming out , I loved the modern warfare on ps3 but I’d love to try in on the switch !
Really excited for what Square Enix will be announcing – we might finally see a release date for the Final Fantasy VII Remake (literally my childhood!). Their new Avengers game could be a massive hit as well!
Looking forward a Playstation 5, there is an empty spot next to my 4, 3, 2 and 1! Also would enjoy a new Diablo !!
Looking forward to CD PROJEKT RED’s Cyberpunk 2077 and Final Fantasy 7!!
Most excited for EA sports announcement on the new sports games coming this year. I’m a huge fifa fan and have bought the game every year since 98. I love the game as it brings me back to memories of times shared with my dad, I really hope they’re coming out with some good stuff this year but regardless of what happens I’m still going to keep the streak going by buying the game again
dasd
Final Fantasy VII Remake.
Looking forward to the Playstation 5 by Sony, been a playstation guy for a long time so i hope its grat
For sure CD PROJEKT RED’s Cyberpunk 2077 and Final Fantasy 7 remake!!
I’m excited for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 since after seeing endgame i can’t get enough marvel
I love it all!
I’m really excited about a lot of things that will be released I’m looking forward to all of Nintendo’s announcements especially about Pokémon sword and shield. Tbh tho I try not to pay to much attention to what going on until e3 so that I can be as surprised as possible.
I am looking forward to hearing more about the Final Fantasy 7 Remake by Square Enix for the Playstation 4 Pro. Final Fantasy 7 was my favorite Japanese RPG in the 90’s and I spent close to 200 hours playing that game. I am looking forward to nostalgic moments when this game comes out!
I’m hoping for a Splinter Cell announcement from Ubisoft. I’ve loved the entire series from the beginning and a new title would be awesome!
I’m so excited for the Playstation 5. I grew up playing Crash Bandicoot on a PS1, so Playstation has a place in my childhood heart. Currently I own a PS3, so I’d be incredibly stoked to be able to upgrade to my console to a PS5!
cant wait for the new
ps5 announe fron sony i love the fact that you can play old ps game on it from all ps console before
I’m most excited about Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Switch, because I really love the previous title in the series but want to try something new and see what they do with it.
I’m mostly excited for news on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order by Respawn Entertainment. Respawn has done a great job with games in the past and it’s about time somebody tackled a game that focused on the fall of the Jedi. Looking forward to what Respawn presents to us!
Can’t hardly wait for Borderlands 3 from Gearbox! I’m hoping it’s going to give me the same deep-dive BL2 and TPS gave me!
Been waiting for long time, come on Last of Us 2. Need to play that game.
Looking forward to see more of cyberpunk and more xbox news and the new marvel avengers game from square enix.
I’m most looking forward to the release date of Death Stranding, made my Kojima Productions and released by Sony.
I’m really happy that Kojima gets to have full creative control for once immediately after his bad time at Konami. I’m also just really interested by everything we’ve seen about Death Stranding so far. It may not seem to make much sense, but it looks like it’s right up my alley.
EA announcing Jedi Fallen Order. My teenagers are huge Star Wars Fans!
I’m most excited about SEGA’s Yakuza spin-off “Judgment”. As a fan of the Yakuza series where you get to play from the perspective of a yakuza I can’t wait to explore the city of Kamurocho as a Detective. This game is released for the PS4.
I’m excited to play Borderlands 3 by 2kgames. It’s been ages since I played a Borderlands game but I love the cartoon style and the characters are top shelf.
Growing up with RPG’s one might make people think I was super excited for final fantasy 7’s remake. Of course I am for sure but since they’ve taken so much of the original gameplay out of what they have shown something else has really caught my eye as the most exciting thing, enter Pokémon Sword and Shield.
It’s an age old debate I’ve had with my friends, What’s better fighting monsters in Final Fantasy or catching and fighting Pokémon? Really at this point I relinquish top dog to Pokémon, Final Fantasy may have some interesting stories in the past just doesn’t live up the way it used to and a remake has me skeptical. Pokémon wears it’s past on is sleeves, getting embraces it’s classic gameplay and retains the magic that I really find in the series. All of its deep systems, creative designs and world to explore has me excited beyond compare. And this time I can do it on my HDTV.
For me Pokémon sword and shield information is definitely the most exciting thing coming out of E3 this year. Even if it’s news is coming a little bit earlier than E3, I expect gameplay to be shown off On Nintendo’s treehouse video stream.
I’m excited for ghost recon breakpoint created by ubisoft. It is the sequel to ghost recon wildlands. I have been watching videos and it look awesome. I can’t wait for its release in october.
This is one of the best giveaways I’ve ever seen!
I’m really stoked for days gone, I’ve been keeping up with all the trailers and gameplay for it and it looks AMAZING. But the one thing that I would love to have a chance to win is the nintendo prize pack #2. Super smash and zelda have ALWAYS been my favourite since I was a child and having a chance to win a bundle with them both in it is really cool!
So good luck everyone and keep gaming!
Sincerely
Clay
Mostly looking forward to news on Pokémon Sword and Shield & Square Enix’s Avengers game!!
Really looking forward to Super Mario Maker 2 for the Nintendo Switch also hoping Nintendo Switch comes out with other great games
I’m really looking forward to more information about Fire Emblem: Three Houses on the Switch.
Im looking forward to pokemon sword, super excited to play another pokemon game in the franchize. Been a fan for 20 years <3
Can’t wait to see Square Enix show off more of their Avengers game. With Batman laying the groundwork for how to create a great superhero game, I’m curious if they will build on that game structure or evolve it somehow. Really excited for the future of superhero games ✌
No announcement so far has excited me more than the announcement of CTR: Crash Team Racing nitro fueled (PS4). I grew up with many fond memories playing the original CTR both solo and with my friends and though it may be an unpopular opinion to some, I’ve always somehow found it superior to mario kart. After the original Crash Bandicoot trilogy was remastered, I knew it was only a matter of time before Crash Team Racing got the same treatment and as I expected , the announcement was made by Activision, Beenox and by the Crash Bandicoot Instagram pages that I began following . While the original CTR was developed by Naughty Dog, all the renders of the remastered version looks promising and I’m interested to see how Beenox delivers.
Take Two: trying to get my comment to actually post
I’m most excited about a console game, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, announced by EA. I guess it’s coming to PC also, but I’m strictly a console gamer. I love a single-player RPG and I really wish ‘they’ would re-release Knights of the Old Republic (1 and 2) for the current generation of consoles. And a weak port of the mobile game does not count (looking at you, GTA: San Andreas).
I’m am excited for ghost recon breakpoint created by ubisoft. It is set to release in october. I have been following since the beginning when they made ghost recon wildlands. It is an awesome shooter game and breakpoint looks even more amazing.
Looking forward to Bethesda’s announcement of Elder Scrolls 6 and more information about Cyber Punk 2077. Also Microsoft’s press conference to hopefully hear more about their partnership with Sony and how they’re looking to shape cloud-based gaming for the next generation. Lastly, I’m looking forward to Square Enix and hopefully announcements of new IPs. Growing up in the 90s, Square Enix (previously called Squaresoft) was known for it’s diverse library of games of various genres. The early 2000’s saw a move away from that focusing on a handful of IPs like Final Fantasy. The past couple years seem to be a return to the 90s for Square Enix where we’re getting more exciting new IPs coming out of the developer like Octopath Traveler and etc. Can’t wait!
I’m so excited for the new Pokémon games on the switch. I still need to get a switch though! I’ve been dying to get let’s go eevee too so getting a switch bundle would be my top pick! Any of them would be awesome though because we don’t have an Xbox and our PS4 is broken. But that switch especially
I’m looking forward to the next game from FromSoftware. Nothing has been officially announced yet but the new game is rumored to be an open-world action RPG codenamed GR (or Great Rune) with George RR Martin as a story consultant. That sounds incredible. Hopefully it’ll be on PS4. Can’t wait for e3.
Looking forward for the Sony PlayStation 5 because I’ve never been able to buy any of those great consoles to my daughter and she would be Sooo Happy to have one finally ! Thank you so much for this awesome giveaway !
Sony aren’t going to be at E3 this year 🙂
I am hoping for news about Elder Scrolls 6 from Bethesda. I have been deeply into the games since Morrowind and would love to lose myself in a new world for hours and hours!
I am so excited to see how NHL 2020 by EA will reinvent online hockey gaming experience!
