  1. My biggest announcements that I am excited about are Fire Emblem three houses because I have been playing Fire Emblem since it started out. I love strategy games and the world looks great, not too mention the gameplay also looks fun!

    I am so excited to see more of Babylons fall, I want to see if they announce another Destory all Humans, I can’t wait to see what xbox has in store, I want to see more of the new age of empires, and gosh there’s just so much I can’t even think of it all!

    But most of all! Out of everything! I am the most excited about Death Stranding! I can’t believe it’s coming out this year and it looks amazing! I love Hideo Kojima and the game looks so interesting I just can’t fricken wait. I mean who the hell knows really anything about it but hey at least we finally got to see some gameplay!

    Anyway I love video games and no matter what I’m just excited for the future of it all!

  2. I’m looking forward to news from Nintendo, I got a switch for my friends kid, and I have been impressed with it, and now thinking about getting one for myself to play with my friends kids, I just can’t afford it for myself

  3. Very excited for Fire Emblem 3 Houses! There’s also Pokemon Shield! i’m gonna get Shield for sure! And then I would like to see more JRPG announcements!

  4. I’m super excited for borderlands 3, announced by gearbox and 2k games. Ive been playing the borderlands franchise since the first game, and this one looks set to be better than ever! Looking forward to the new character gameplay at E3

  5. I’m most looking forward to the reveal of the upcoming Avengers game from Square Enix that was announced at the beginning of 2017! This announcement is important to me because as a Marvel fan, I’ve been looking for an immersive game from a reputable studio for a long time and hopes this new Avengers title will blow me away.

  6. I’m really excited for more news on Pokemon Sword and Shield as well as Borderlands 3! It’s gonna be so epic!

  7. I am mostly excited about the Square Enix updates on the Marvel Avengers game, and, the Final Fantasy 7 remake. Marvel Avengers is being developed by Crystal Dynamics who’ve made the recent Tomb Raider games, which are a lot of fun, so I’m excited to see what they can do with the Marvel licence. And for Final Fantasy 7, I loved the original and from what I’ve I seen of the remake it looks fun. I enjoyed the pace/gameplay in Final Fantasy 15 and looks like they are adopting a similar action approach for the FF 7 remake.

  8. The recent announcement of a re-imagining of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has piqued my interest in returning to the series that I left behind a few years ago. Also with Death Stranding getting a firm release date, the weird 8 minute trailer has garnered a lot of interest. Good year to be gaming in 2019 and beyond.

  9. I am excited about the release of the Sony Playstation 5. My 11 year old grandson has always enjoyed his previous Playstation consoles and would love to have the new one. He is a very special young man, does well in school, is very polite and considerate of others. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for him.

  10. I’m looking forward to Borderlands 3 from Gearbox and 2k Games. It will be really exciting to revisit the world of Pandora with friends and compare loot drops. It’s been announced to drop on September 13, 2019. Looking forward to seeing more at this year’s E3!

  11. Gotta day borderlands 3 has been the only thing on my brain since catching the trailer.
    The whole series is just too perfect.
    Can’t wait to add it to the collection on my xbox

  12. I’m most excited for a new Splinter Cell that’s been announced by Ubisoft. I have played every one of them so far and I want to get my friends into it. Hoping it’s on PC again! And that it has the vs. asymmetrical gameplay again as I loved it in the last one!

  13. Can’t wait to see more from Marvel’s Avengers. I’ve been waiting for this moment since they announced it back in 2017. It’s made by Square Enix and I always loved their games, it’s also made by Eidos Montreal and since I live in Montreal I’m even more proud excited. Heroes are part of me and video games even more so I literally cannot wait to see more!

  14. Square Enix’s FVII remake is going to be pretty epic. There’s also Star Wars stuff as well I’m keen to look at. Can’t wait to see what’s being announced for the PS5.

  15. The game I’m most excited for is Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Switch! AC has always given me so many great memories from ages 8 – 22. It’s been away for me to relax and get rid of anxieties of every day to day things. So I definitely can’t wait to get it on the Switch.

    If I was selected to win a Nintendo prize pack, I’d give the Nintendo switch to my brother who can’t afford one, since I already have one, and so that we can play Animal Crossing Switch together when it eventually comes out. ☺️

  16. I’m so excited about Nintendo EAD announcements

    I played Animal crossing my whole childhood
    So it’s the game I’m waiting for the E3

    about Microsoft, I’m curious about the cloud gaming

    And I wanna see the gameplay of Mario maker 2 by Nintendo

  17. I’m actually really excited for Kingdom Hearts 3! The new Disney characters and the fact that they haven’t made the game in a long time since now is a breath of fresh air! I hope I can get it on the PS4! Would love the console! ❤️

  18. I’m extremely excited to play Sony/Naughty Dogs next big game The Last of Us 2 once it hits the shelves, I loved the first game and I still play it regularly. It’d be cool to check out some of the other games listed in the Sony PS4 prize packs! Good luck to all the gamers out there!

  19. I’m actually really excited for Kingdom Hearts 3! The new Disney characters and the fact that they haven’t made the game in a long time since now is a breath of fresh air! I hope I can get it on the PS4! Would love the console! ❤️

  20. I’m Excited for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order announced by Electronic Arts at E3. The game is supposed to be release in November. The Star Wars games usually have a great story line and crazy new force and light sabre abilities. With Star Wars Galaxys edge at disney world and the final Movie of the Saga, Rise of Skywalker, it’s going to be a great year for Star Wars. Can’t wait to get my hands on the game, visit the park, and seen the movie (not necessarily in that order).

  21. Super mario maker 2 by nintendo been a fan of the series, & rpg maker mv by nis america sounds interesting. Sadly it seems were overdue for another need for speed by electronic arts & it seems like we might not get a forza motorsports 8 by turn10 this year. Would be nice if they remastered pgr series in the meantime

  22. I’m counting down the days to the release of Fire Emblem Three Kingdoms. Nintendo has announced the release on the switch for near the end of July. This is the first console Fire Emblem game since the Nintendo Game Cube.

  23. Cant wait for the new COD game. Been playing COD games all throughout my child hood and they never disappoint. Watched the trailer the other day and definitely got me excited !

  24. Looking forward to some more news on the last of us 2 by naughty dog. Uncharted and the last of us were some of the best games out there and have been looking forward to last of us 2 for quite some time

  25. I’m looking forward to new Nintendo news, I’m interested in the new Pokémon games. They look interesting. I had heard rumours of new Nintendo Switch systems as well so I’m curious about that.

  26. Can’t wait for more information on Stadia! It’s truly gaming on the go… no specific games but just interested to see what titles would be available as well as pricing structure.

  27. Kojima Productions most recent trailer for Death Stranding with the release date announcement, it revealed alot of new things aboutr he game that had only been speculated on until the trailers release. I am big fan of all of Kojima’s games MGS 5 is one of favourite games to play, so i cant wait to see what his new one is like.

  28. When Gearbox dropped the teaser for Borderlands 3 I don’t think I slept. So many months with friends put into Borderlands 1 on the Xbox 360, then moved to PS3. Borderlands 2 and Handsome Collection on PS3 and PS4 working towards double platinum trophies. And now it’s just going to get better, especially since they’re going to make it so friends who play more can continue to progress while playing with friends who play less, and at nobody’s expense. Nobody feels punished, everyone gets to kick butt collectively, and the dialogue is guaranteed prime.

    Capcom’s Iceborne expansion is almost everything i’ve been waiting for in World – save the rest of the monsters I never got to fight after my boyfriend got me to join the community of 3 Ultimate on the Wii U. Made it to High Rank but never even beat Plesioth to see what came beyond, and didn’t finish the campaign. 4 Ultimate i’ve completed almost every quest. Generations I did great but lost my save data with a corrupt MicroSD, sadly Generations Ultimate still needs a lot more love from me. When i’m not playing a MonHun, a lot of the time i’m playing a MonHun clone. Make no mistake, my poogie, moofah, and felyne partners are well loved and respectably dressed, and I have every intention of keeping them that way.

    Nintendo spreading the word on Three Houses has me looking forward to possibly the best one i’ll play yet. Awakening was my first Fire Emblem I managed to finish with Sacred Stones being the first one I owned. It had me hooked from the start because of how much it felt like playing Suikoden Tactics and Disgaea 3. Record of Agarest War along with Agarest Generations of War Zero and Two kept me busy for a time but I can’t stop going back to Fates. Games where my character is customizable, there’s a fun range of personalities and great party quips are ample, where my choices have an effect on the storyline and their characters are absolutely a love for me. May not be good at them, but a love nonetheless.

    Pokémon on the other hand is a love for another reason. It’s a memento of sorts from my late father. He got me started collecting cards and watching VHS rentals as rewards for doing well at school and keeping up with chores. At daycare, Snap and Stadium were my go-to games. My first N64 game was Puzzle League. My first console and game purchase were a Gameboy Colour and Pokémon Red, well into high school, that my uncle helped me buy. I own the majority of Pokémon games released – Sword and Shield soon to follow. Near daily I battle, breed, trade, and spreadsheet my life away with every generation that comes, and after Let’s Go Eevee i’m antsy for the next reveal to know which version i’ll be maining. Nintendo definitely has me hooked and any complaints I may have you’re not like to see on the internet.

    Square Enix has me and my wallet hurting plenty though. I’ve sunk thousands of dollars into Final Fantasy XIV ever since Level-5’s White Knight Chronicles servers went down. At first out of resentment, then out of depression, and finally out of joy. Shadowbringers pulling in Dancer and Gunbreaker, Viera and Hrothgar, the current class changes, new gear, new tribes, new primals… Oh boy! So much to look forward to, and all thanks to a failed relationship I can fully enjoy this beautiful game. With a community that one minute is telling you to kill yourself and calling you every name in the book, and the next is up all night laughing with you while you do stupid little things in the spur of the moment, there’s always something and someone new to find and enjoy.

    Between Three Houses, Iceborne, Sword and Shield, Shadowbringers, and GUNS WITH LEGS PLUS BRICK SAX SOLO, it’s real hard to choose just one. But if I were to put them into priority order it would likely after a long debate come down to Sword and Shield, Shadowbringers, Iceborne, Borderlands 3, and then Three Houses. The sentimentality of the first two top the rest, and for all the heartache and joy they both bring, I feel Sword and Shield will outweigh Shadowbringers based on not having to pay a monthly fee to play it. It all comes down to wanting that PS4 bundle for Kingdom Hearts III and a PS4 that doesn’t sound like a jet engine trying to break orbit every time I try to do anything other than sit at the dashboard. I’m a guilty first-time poster hoping for a damn fine prize to make my new house i’ll soon be moving into even more fine. Can you blame a lady for wanting something nice to pass the time with when finally living alone?

    • wow! now that is a very detailed contest entry. Good Luck with the changes in your life, and with the contest.

      Best regards,
      Martin

      • Apologies for the late reply, I was unable to see my own comment to see the response, but many thanks for kind wishes. I have no expectations but I have hope regardless. It’s a very trying time with family and medical issues behind the move, and even just a little kindness like this does go a long way. Your outreach is appreciated and I hope your days to come are full of equal kindness as well!

  29. If there’s one thing I’m definitely looking forward at E3 it’s the PC game Cyberpunk 2077 by CD Projekt. After first seeing the teaser trailer back in 2013, I have been dreaming of a futuristic cyberpunk open world game ever since; and the gameplay trailer from a year ago did nothing to quench my thirst for this amazingly ambitious project. All I can hope now is that CD Projekt will finally announce a release date at E3 and I’ll finally be able to play this masterpiece.

  30. Even though it isn’t official, Larian Studios teasing Baldur’s Gate 3 has got me excited. The original BG and its sequel were some of the finest RPGs every released, and raised the bar to a near unbeatable height for the next two decades.

  31. I am looking forward to Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint made by Ubisoft. Wildlands was a game that I loved playing with my friends and I believe this will be another great game.

  32. I’m really excited to ears some news about The last of us 2 from Naughty Dog for the PS4. I’m waiting this game fore a long time and which to have some details on the E3 this June.

  33. There’s no denying that all eyes will be on Xbox via the Microsoft Press Conference, especially with the absence of PlayStation at this year’s E3. Any announcement from Phil Spencer and the Xbox team needs to blow us out of the water! I’m mostly excited to see their plans for their next-gen consoles x2 (traditional and streaming), more info about Project xCloud, and last but not least, more details about their new first party studios and games! It doesn‘t matter how many consoles or services they come out with if the GAMES aren’t there! And I’m not talking about new installments to existing IP (like Gears and Halo). They’re behind on bringing us new games! They are, however, making the right gamer-friendly moves with Xbox Game Pass, backwards compatibility, the Xbox Play Anywhere initiative, and creating the adaptive controller. So any announcement by them has the potential to really “win” E3, as long as they have a strong first party line-up. Hopefully it’s not a slideshow of just splash screens and logos, which it very well may be. We’re still a few years away from seeing anything of true substance, though, so we’ll know soon enough.

    Google’s Stadia is second on my list of anticipated announcements! If they’ve truly solved the riddle that is game-streaming-latency, then what they’re doing could really push the industry forward in a new and exciting way!

    Xbox and Stadia are the one’s to watch out for!

    Thanks,
    @gamingworker

  34. I’m really excited to ears some news about The last of us 2 from Naughty Dog for the PS4. I’m waiting this game fore a long time and which to have some details on the E3 this June.

  35. Really looking forward to seeing more about the new Metroid, if PS5 is coming to Switch and to maybe get a release day for Link’s Awakening. Unrealistically hoping so see a glimpse of an entirely new Zelda game, but that’s probably not going to happen. I’ve grown up playing Nintendo games and so their presentations always bring back a sense of nostalgia. They’re the whole reason I was introduced to video games!

  36. I’m really looking forward to Nintendo showing off and talking more about Animal Crossing for switch! AC has given me so many fond memories growing up. It’s the perfect game to relax and unwind from a stressful day.

    If I was selected to win a Nintendo switch I’d give it to my brother so we can both play Animal Crossing switch together when it eventually comes out! ☺️

  37. I’m looking forward cyber punk 2077 this looks like it’s going to an amazing rpg game to come out this year. It looks like it’s going to be fun and intense to play and with good story line.

  38. I’m Looking forward to the release of Sony Playstation 5. My hubby has been wanting an update and we are excited for the new technology and advancements

  39. 25 years of DOOM! Can’t wait to see more of Doom Eternal. I grew up on Doom and it has remained my favourite franchise of all time.

  40. The game I’m looking forward the most for this year E3 is definitely cd project red Cyberpunk 2077! I think it is one of the most important game ever because if the game succeed ( which it will ), it’s gonna prove that a complete single player game with no micro transaction CAN do well and make money !

  41. AMD Navi GPUs, I need a new computer set up and more competition on the market might help my wallet! Or winning a game console that would help it too.

  42. I am looking forward to more info. from CD Projekt Red regarding Cyberpunk 2077. I have been eagerly awaiting this game since the teaser trailer dropped six years ago; I never thought I would be waiting this long, but what I saw last year made me feel like the wait may just be worth it.

    I love the cyberpunk genre, particularly Neuromancer, and I am hoping that this game plays something like I am in a cyberpunk novel.

  43. CoD: Modern warfare
    Infinity Ward

    IW and Treyarch have really pumped the cod games out over the years and they’ve progressively gotten worse so hoping they’re taking us back to our teenage years with this new one. Less Halo-esque, more OG CoD style.
    Plus, Soap is back.

  44. Nintendo’s: Links awaking remake. I loved this game when I was young and look forward to playing a remastered new version of it.

  45. I’m really excited for Xbox one x prize pack I never played the x version of it. I’m really hoping to play final fantasy 7 remake on it. I’m a huge Xbox fan I’m really looking forward to the future gaming for Xbox.
