Hoping for the announcement for a cheaper and/or larger Switch! C’mon Ninty, do a solid for us adult gamers on a budget.
The ps5 has me really excited i’ve been a playstation fan since always, i have every console from 1 to 4 and would love to try the ps5!!!
I am looking forward to seeing what Microsoft is going to launch. My kids and i have a few different platforms and always look forward to this time of the year. Ive heard about what Xbox has been doing and cant wait to see whats next. I am hoping for more retro remakes. My boys love the Sony PS4 and the VR games.
Excited to have a PS4 Package
I’m really excited about The Avengers Project! I hope it will be the headliner for Square Enix!
I’m very excited to get more information about The Last of Us from Sony and Naughty Dog, and whether or not I’m gonna have to make the hard choice between that or Death Stranding, as I kinda expect both to release around the same time!
Really looking forward to the reboot of the Modern Warfare series by Call of Duty, seems like it could be one of the best fps games this year based on the video. I haven’t been excited for a call of duty for a while now.
I am looking forward to Square Enix announcements and updates on Final Fantasy 7 Remake. The original Final Fantasy 7 was part of my childhood, I cannot wait to engage in the remastered world of Final Fantasy 7. I am very excited for an update on this release.
Really looking forward to try days gone on the ps4 heard a lot of good things about this game and would be really happy to have the chance to win the prize
I am really looking forward to a new COD, also interested in buying the new Nintendo switch for my daughter!
I think that Luigi’s Mansion 3 is the big one to me. I deeply enjoy the original luigi’s mansion since it was the second game I ever played being that the Gamecube was my first console that I ever owned. I love the spooky nature of the game and is probably one of the key reasons why I love horror games so much to this day (even though Luigi’s Mansion isn’t that scary at all).
Final Fantasy VII Remake
I hope that they will announce the release date for Hytail because im really looking forward to that game.
I think I am most excited for Super Mario Maker 2 for Nintendo Switch because it appeals to all ages of gamers but you can also get really creative with game-modes, levels, the styles of the levels, and it’s on the Nintendo Switch so you can play it with a stylus on the go.
Nintendo is hitting them out of the park.
I’m excited for hardware news from Microsoft.
I am most excited about Nintendo’s announcement of Pokemon Sword & Shield in 2019. Why? Because this would be the first time a new core Pokemon RPG game to jump out of the portable only space, into the big screen TV. I have to be honest, ever since Pokemon Yellow I’ve been quite disconnected as every game felt the same with slight improvements in graphics and a different story. Even the nostalgic remakes didn’t excite me as much as Sword and Shield. The game play, graphics, being able to take it on the go or play it on TV, this is huge. Nintendo, Game Freak, take my money already!
A game that I’m very excited to be released is “Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord” by TaleWorlds Entertainment. The first game marks a really good time in my life and I’m looking forward to the second one. It was first announced in 2012 and still doesn’t have a release date. However, they said the first beta will be in Gamescom 2019.
Mario maker 2, Luigi’s Mansion 3, Animal Crossing Switch, Pokemon Sword and Shield and Zelda Links Awakening!
Animal Crossing for Switch. I can’t wait for a home console of this franchise.
Most excited about the Battletech Urban Warfare expansion by Harebrained Studios. I love good strategy games and I’ve been looking forward to this one for ages. It seems the older I get, the more I can get really absorbed in something with a lot of details and depth. I’m in!
I’m really excited to play monster hunter world – iceborn !! I’ve played so many hours and I can’t wait to play so many mores on the new game !! I love the work Capcom has done with this game its wonderful.
Nintendo’s Conference: Looking forward to hearing more about Metroid Prime 4! I’m also hoping they release the Metroid Prime Trilogy on Switch in the meantime while we wait for the release date. One can only dream 🙂
I’m looking forward to more news about FF7 Remake from Square Enix. I bought my PS4 when they announced it would be on that console but we’re still patiently waiting for it. I’m a long time hardcore FF fan since the NES.
I’m also looking forward to news about Cyberpunk 2077 from CD Projekt Red. They did great with the Witcher 3 and would love to see how this game turns out on PS4…or PS5!
I’m looking forward to Animal Crossing for the Switch. Even though it’s still just rumors, I’m hoping it will be revealed this E3 and released in the Fall of 2019
A game that I’m very excited to be released is “Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord” by TaleWorlds Entertainment.

I’m super excited to see more about Pokemon sword and shield from Nintendo. I also heard rumours about there being a model update for the switch which would be interesting..
My kids have me excited to play Super Mario Maker 2!
I am excited for Shenmue 3. Played both 1st and 2nd and can’t wait for the third one! Quite disappointing for to hear about another pushed back tp December 2019.
The game that has me most excited for the future is “the sinking city” by frogwares. It looks like a mix between Bioshock, The Last Of Us and L.A Noire. A first person mystery/horror/action rpg is exactly the kind of game that gets me tapping my foot in anticipation. It is also pretty easy to get excited about a game run on unreal engine! Cant wait to pick this one up, turn my phone off and get lost in The Sinking City!!!
Looking forward to hearing more about Stadia from Google. Might be the start of a big change for the gaming world.
I would love to play Super Mario Maker 2 with my boys!
Getting stoked to catch em all in pokemon sword and shield announced by Nintendo. Now best buy choose me *In Ash’s voice*
Really hoping we get another piece of info about Elder Scrolls 6 . Fell in love with the franchise when i first bought Oblivion a d cannot wait for the next iteration !!!
Gotta say I have a list of excitement, Microsoft and seeing what is coming for the Xbox consoles. But for games, wanna see the gameplay footage of “Star Wars fallen order” being annoced by EA and lastly probably most excited to see what Tom Clancy has in store for rainbow six siege. Been a great game for years and one of the best shooters. Hopefully this posts this time haha
Super Mario Maker 2 is my biggest announcement so far this year. Let’s seebif E3 changes that 🙂
To pick just one is hard but I’m looking forward to seeing the Final Fantasy 7 Remake by Square Enix for PS4. Just seeing the new updated graphics for it.. Amazing.
I am excited for the new watchdogs game and hopeful for a new splintercell!
Definitely most excited for Pokemon sword and shield!
I’m the most excited for Ghost of Tsushima because it takes place during ancient Japan and you are a samurai and really who doesn’t want to be a Samurai! The game was announced at 2018 E3 by Sucker Punch Productions.
I can’t wait to see Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order from EA. I love Star Wars and all to do with it. It brings back memories from all the movies and old games from way back.
Am very excited to hear more about halo infinite which is made by 343 industries I grew up with halo it was one of my first games I’ve ever owned and I just cant wait to see what they have in store for us.
Sony’s Death Stranding is the only game I want to know about! What is going with it?
Definitely most excited for Sony’s and Kojima’s Death Stranding. It looks unique and is pretty much the only new thing I’m interested in this year!
I’m really excited for the game Doom Eternal, because I enjoyed the game in the past. The manufacturer is Bethesda and this announcement is important because it reminds me of how i enjoyed playing the game when i was younger (been a while i didn’t play and i’m really looking forward to game again).
I’m really looking forward to hearing more about Animal Crossing for Switch and Pokémon Sword and Shield. I’m also just excited for Nintendo’s presentation as they usually put on a good show.
Would be nice to start gamigwith a pc!
Like many of us, the Halo series really surprised me. I grew up with this series and seeing what it will do makes me really happy. I can not wait to see what Microsoft has in store for the future of this series.
Super excited for the new Super Mario Kart. Can’t wait to see what new tracks will be available.
Super hyped to see what Mario brothers looks like several years later !!!
I love the new PS4 pro by PlayStation. The graphics on PlayStation always blow XBOX out of the water, especially with there 4K HDR content. I love the games that PlayStation has to offer because the games that they offer are really great, like the new Playstation exclusive Spider-Man game, I have many colleagues who have raves about that game and I really would love to play it. I have played Call of Duty on the PS3 and it was great but I’d love to see how it looks on the PS4 Pro. The great thing about the Pro is that it has a better cooling system in the console then with the PS4 Slim and this would be why I chose the Pro over the Slim and of course the 1TB memory. I have always felt that Sony Products never get much of a chance over other products weather it is Apple or XBOX because many people would rather have American made products but my favourite thing about Sony is that they offer a lot of features at the same price as XBOX and Apple and yet those companies sometimes charge more for less features. Sony products are also very durably built compared to its competitors. Go PS4 Pro!
