Mostly excited for the Last of Us part 2 developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony computer entertainment. Loved the first one so much, I remember playing it for the first time with my friends during my time in school!!
I was so excited when Nintendo announced Pokémon Sword and Shield! My first video game was Pokémon Crystal and I always love seeing what new features and Pokémon they introduce with each new generation!
Very excited about all the FPS coming out later this year. They look amazing on both consoles.

So far Astral Chain for Switch is my most anticipated game. Platinum games have a really solid track record and their new ips are where they shine brightest. I really love the robot partner things they’ve shown off, it looks like the combat is gonna be something you can’t get anywhere else. Also, nintendo’s e-shop shows the game is going to have local multiplayer so I’m excited to see if I’ll be able to play through the game with my friends!
I have been a bit let down in the past couple years with call of duty but that reveal trailer was so fantastic. Seeing Captain Price again brings back so many memories from the earlier games of staying up all night and playing multiplayer with my friends. I’ve met some of my best friends today on Modern Warfare 2 and I cant wait to hop in a lobby with them again on October 25th! I cant wait for the E3 showcase of the game and hopefully a reveal of some “old comrades” ;). Would love to see Bravo 5 (Gaz) back in action! But we’ll have to wait and see! The clock is ticking down on E3 and I can’t wait! Infinity ward is my favorite Call of Duty developer and i’m really hoping Activation gives them the artistic freedom to make not just a great game but one we all play for years and years!
The 2019 announcement I was extremely excited for is Square Enix’s “Marvel’s Avengers” video game! They released a teaser trailer a couple of years ago, and haven’t released any gameplay footage since. I’m a huge Marvel and Final Fantasy fan, so when I heard that Square Enix is making an Avenger’s game, I was instantly sold! I can’t wait to see what Square Enix has to show at E3!
I’m beyond excited for the newest Xbox, “Xbox 2” announcments, and the Sony/Microsoft “cloud” gaming they will start using in future developments!
In 2019 specifically I’m most excited for EA Sports FIFA 2020. Football is a very exciting and entertaining game. I’m playing FIFA from 2010 actually. I started my journey with FIFA 2007 and 2008. This is a game where every moment is important. So specifically in 2019 I’m mostly excited for FIFA 2020. And i also want to mention that for FIFA Xbox one controller is very comfortable.
i am really pumped about Halo: Infinite. I remember the first installment that brings back ALOT of memories. I am also looking forward to the next SW game Jedi fallen order.
The Nintendo Switch truly bridges the gap between home consoles and handhelds! As much as I’ve been waiting to buy the classic SNES console, my love for Mario makes me want a Nintendo Switch Console -so I can play wherever I want with the games I miss. Looking forward to all Super Mario has to offer along with Zelda. If NES would bring back Paperboy – my life would be complete.
I’m excited for a new Animal Crossing game by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. Animal Crossing New Leaf is a game that helped me relax when I was stressed out during school, so I have a lot of memories playing it and customizing my town 🙂
I am really looking forward to Pokémon Sword and Shield for the Nintendo switch to be announced by Pokémon / Nintendo. I have played Pokémon since a child and have grown up with it and to be able to play it on the big screen will be awesome.
I’m honestly super excited for the new Pokemon games! Pokemon was one of the first games I played growing up as a kid since I wasn’t allowed to play any games at all, much less any violent ones, so Pokemon was great for me and my parents! The new, more open world look to the game will expand on the already great formula and I’m super excited to meet all the new creatures!
All my childhood even up till now I’ve always had an Xbox and have really enjoyed playing all the Xbox games, but I’ve always had an itch to play the PlayStation or PS4 exclusive games one of them being the last of us. I’ve spent hours watching gameplay from the last of us and was blown away by the story and the game itself also it’s hard trying to find a game that is similar.
So games like the last of us 2 is really something I look forward to for E3 and honestly I’m excited for everything going down at E3! I can’t wait!
All Xbox content including the new phantom controller and remake of ff7 got the old one still and play it regularly
The most exciting announcement for me is the fact that Nintendo and Niantic teamed up to allow Pokemon players to transfer/trade Pokemon from one game to the other. When you do this, you can gain Meltans and/Meltan candies. There are also Meltan Surprise Boxes.
I’m quite pumped for the new Pokémon and Animal Crossing titles for the Nintendo Switch! I grew up with Nintendo and most of my early gaming experiences was with them! Earning that prize pack from Nintendo would be amazing!
It’s really nostalgia for me, but I’m quite excited about the remake of MediEvil. I used to play it a lot on the original PSX. By extension, also FFVII Remake!
I am very excited for iron man in psvr. I’m planning on purchasing a psvr this month!
Call of Duty : Modern Warfare on Xbox one because it’s the first saga of game with pvp battle with gun that I’ve try with my brother and this saga gave me the mood on continuing to play Call of Duty game’s. It’s giving me the trill that Modern Warfare will recome better than ever and it sure that me and my friends will buy it on the November 25 and have fun playing it
Oct 25!
I was pumped and Am always pumped for the new maps in COD Black ops 4 I’m kinda predictable in that way I’ve always played the safe sorta games From Tom Clancy games to halo and Cod and Black ops 1,2,3,4.
Mostly excited for the Last of Us part 2 developed by Naughty dog and published by Sony computer entertainment. Played the first game and fell in love with it can’t wait for the next chapter.
Honestly I’m so excited for the last of us two on the PS4 it hasn’t released yet and the hype is real. The first game means so much to me it’s honestly the only game to ever make me cry and im ready with a box of tissues when the next one comes out.
I am excited for the new Zelda and Mario Kart 9 games for the Nintendo Switch! I am also excited at the possibility of a new dock that will have 4K ability using the same original system without having to buy a Pro system to get 4K
While Bungies “Destiny” continues to be my absolute favourite game, I’m really curious about Microsoft’s Halo Infinite. The Halo series is what originally what pushed me to console gaming – and I continued that journey to Halo 5. I’ve been missing the good old Halo days, and it looks like Microsoft is really perfecting the newest instalment, reimagining what made Halo what it was.
With that and the upcoming news for Destiny, 2019 seems like it’s going to be a great year for gaming.
I’m most excited about the new Xbox console announcement from Microsoft, it’s important to me because I’ve always been a Xbox kid from when the original Xbox came out. Halo CE was a huge part of my childhood.
Honestly, I am probably most excited about the next DLC fighter for Super Smash Bros Ultimate! This game only came out a few months ago in December, but it has already brought more joy to me and my friends than any other game that came out in the last 3 years. We spend countless hours talking about the game and speculating who else will join the already stacked roster, and although we are hyped every time there is a Nintendo Direct presentation, there is just something special about those Smash Bros character reveal trailers that I can’t get enough of. So much fan service and so many references are crammed into each one of those trailers that it just puts a big smile on my face every time I watch them. 🙂
PlayStation 5 system announcement. This marks a start to the next console generation.
I’m looking forward to the new modern warfare game.
The game I’m MOST looking forward to is Borderlands 3 by Gearbox Software. The game looks So SICK!! And it will take over all the free time I don’t have hahahah!
Seriously cannot wait for this game.
I am looking forward to Death Stranding on the Sony Playstation 4, since I am a big fan of the Walking Dead and want to see how Daryl does in his own big budget video game.
Where to start!
But if I picked one announcement that has blown me away thus far, it’s the announcement of another Destroy All Humans, or rather a remake. The announcement leaked (sort of) during an AMA on Reddit with one of the developers.
Why is this so exciting? One of the better game series of the last generation making an announcement 10 years after the last installment? The crowds are going to go wild over this one. Guaranteed.
I’m super excited to hear more about Animal Crossing 2019! Nintendo gave us a small tease earlier in the year and they’ve been holding their info on the game for their June E3 presentation.
I’ve been playing Animal Crossing since the Gamecube (the first english version) and i’ve owned every entry in the series on GCN, DS, Wii and 3ds. I can’t wait to see what parts I love will return and what new features and changes they make to have the new entry feel fresh!
I’m excited for the Call of Duty : Modern Warfare game by Activision. This game could become a big hit with all the nostalgia and memories behind the franchise!
I’m blown away by the announcement of Xbox live on Nintendo switch! Microsoft is really changing the industry by pushing cross compatibility. It’s nice to have hope that I might one day be able to play any Microsoft exclusive on any console I desire. I can’t wait to see how they develop their commitment to bringing gamers together and eliminating barriers between consoles.
I am excited for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare by Activision. I love the Modern Warfare series and this game looks amazing. The cross platform has me most excited. Can’t wait!
I’m most excited for a new PlayStation system! It’s been a while since ps4 was released so it would be cool if they released a new one. I’d be curious to see what new features they would add!!
I’m not sure who the speakers are, but I’m looking forward the news on anything that has to do with the more popular games. My reasons why are besides having huge respect & passion for the entertainment world, I strongly enjoy playing games, it helps for both enjoyment & decreases my depression. And, in the near future I am hoping to start the creation of my own Arcade. But not just an Arcade, but a franchise hub style Arcade Company.
Halo Infinite is very exiting for me personally . I love the great work that 343 studios has done with the Halo universe.
I have been diving into many of the Halo books lately and its really been on my mind how much i want to play a new one. I lost one of my best friends to sudden illness a few years ago and i always think of the countless hour we logged online in the 360 days. He is the only person i know of that got a perfection on a ghost outnumbered 4 to 1 in a round of slayer. Epic fricken run!!!!
I am waiting for and excited to see and play borderlands 3. I loved all of them and I think the story is great and hilarious. I love the art style for the game. Also all the Easter eggs to other games and movies and even media’s is great!! Really glad they are making another one and we all waited for a while and it’s finally hear
Since sont won’t be there this year, all my hype is for the Cyberpunk booth. All of it. This game has had me drooling since the reveal a few years back and craving more. Can’t wait for CDPR to decide the game is ready enough for us to finally enjoy!
My daughter and I are so excited for the new animal crossing for Nintendo switch. We played the one for wii for years, and can not wait for the new one to release.
I’m super hype about animal crossing for switch by Nintendo
It’s such a calming and wholesome game in these trying times
I’m really excited for any new Zelda game announcements for the Nintendo Switch. Zelda is such a nostalgic game to me, no other game feels quite like the Zelda series! I saw a post on Reddit that they were speculating a re-master of the Wind Waker — if they announced that, I would be super stoked. Wind Waker was always my favourite Zelda game!!
Sony PlayStation 4 Final Fantasy VII Remake!
I’m most excited for Call of Duty: modern warfare. Because that was the series that got me into video games
Been waiting for the Final Fantasy 7 Remake ever since they did the announcement back in 2015, then came to a hault and rereleased a trailer earlier in May. A game i’ve been waiting for ever since they made it back in 97. As well as any switch / ps4 secrets. Hope to be one of the contestants! Good luck to everyone!
I’m psyched for a new Animal Crossing from Nintendo on the Switch! It’s just a very cute, wholesome game that I can enjoy with my kids, and is one of the design inspirations behind the indie game I am spearheading at the moment.
