Game: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Published by: Electronic Arts
Developed by: Respawn Entertainment
Announced by: Electronic Arts
Release Date: November 15, 2019
Ever since I was a kid I’ve been a Star Wars fan, one of the first games I ever played was LEGO Star Wars for the Gamecube. Even when I got older I still had that “hidden interest” in the Star Wars franchise, I would spend my time looking and reading about the Canon and legend universe (Even going on to help make a Star Wars quiz for my local library during my Co-OP). Because of this I almost instantly got Star Wars Battlefront which I ended up spending quite a good amount of time on. Sadly when the second Battlefront come my parents lacked the funs for it and due to personal problems I wasn’t able to get a job. I did play the beta for the game and still enjoyed the gameplay side of it but wasn’t the biggest fan of the whole loot box idea.
Because of my love for the Star Wars franchise, I still have high hopes for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order as it’s now being developed by Respawn Entertainment rather from EA. I hope that if this game goes well I hoping that it will pave a way for newer Star War games that each look at approaching it different ways. Respawn Entertainment is a company that made quite interesting games and because of how in most of them the player has a very “open” move set I feel it will fit well with Jedi and Sith jumping around and making use of different force moves from lore.
The game itself is planning on coming out for Windows. Xbox, and PS4. I myself don’t think I’ll be getting it for PC as I only have a laptop which can’t handle high-performance games. If I had a PS4 I would play it on that but again lack the funds for the system itself. I do have an Xbox One (one of the older models) but have found it has gotten old and lack the space for many of the newer games. I hope that the whole fund’s problem will change as I’m starting college in a few months and might be able to finally get into a job.
Overall the new Star Wars game is something I genuinely am looking forward to down the line.
I’m excited about marvel ultimate alliance 3 black order, played the first one a long time ago and loved it. I’m also excited for the final fantasy 7 remake on PS4.
I’m looking forward to the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on the Xbox One X, developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision. Modern Warfare was my favorite entry in the franchise and the reveal trailer looked amazing. Call of Duty is one of my most favorite franchises so I am even more hype for this game than I have ever been. I’m looking forward to the campaign (if any), the multiplayer, the new guns and how it all looks in 4K.
The gaming announcement I am most excited for is Cyberpunk 2077 developed by CD Projekt Red. I am very optimistic for this game because CD Projekt Red developed the Withcher 3, one of the best games I ever played and which is arguably one of the best titles released on the PS4.
I love first person shooters a lot and have played them from the days of Duke Nukem 3D. I simply cannot wait to get more information about this game at E3.
I have made friends playing shooters online. This has helped my social life as I dont go out often.
I really hope to win the PS4 PRO so that I can witness and play Cyberpunk 2077 in all its 4k glory.
Halo Infinite because ive been playing Halo ever since Halo 1 . Its a game that brings all my friends together and we all love it. Microsoft announced it.
Final Fantasy VII, this is the one thing that I am currently excited about. Unless square announces that they will also remake Final Fantasy VII then I will be more excited for than
I’m looking forward to any details on Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Remake. While not my favourite of the series, it’s the first game I ever played on a Playstation. I’ve always been an RPG fan and the graphics (for the time) were mind blowing. It’s a large part of the reason I bought the PS1 to begin with.
I am excited about Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order (Switch) video game, because I am a very avid comic book fan. I have always been a fan of comics since a child. Marvel has definitely been my favorite through the years with their vast characters and excellent story lines. My brother and I bonded the most through Marvel comics and video games throughout the years which makes it a bit more sentimental for me. I look forward to teaming up with him again in this new edition of MUA 3!! We have teamed up on every one so far and would hate to miss this one! It was revealed at the Game Awards and Team Ninja, the studio behind Nioh, is working on the game for the Nintendo Switch.
Announcement most excited for is legend of Zelda from Nintendo. Played it ever since i was a kid on all different consoles. Very enjoyable game for to play and cannot wait for the new came to come out
EA’s release of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order looks awesome since I love Star Wars my whole life

Looking forward to Borderlands 3. Gearbox has built an amazing world in 1 and 2. I’m excited to see how they handle a couple worlds. Other than that can’t go wrong with Pokemon. Might even have to buy a Switch.
The game I’m waiting so bad is Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on XBOX One X, developed by Infinity Ward, Inc. and published by Activision, best of the best game franchise because its just the best FPS game, my favorite type of game, and for millions around the world each year.
Can’t wait to see what are the new maps, weapons and the online gaming !
I’d say the game I’m the most excited to see on E3 is Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order; development by Respawn; publisher is EA.
The biggest reason for me is that we haven’t seen story-driven Star Wars game for quite a long time now. From the moment Disney released Episode VII in theatres starting a new era of Star Wars movies, the games we got were pretty much focused on multiplayer with 5-6 hours of campaign. While multiplayer games are very profitable and popular in the industry, I do believe that single-player games won’t go anywhere. And it’s because videogames is the most immersive form of entertainment ever created, which gives an unlimited potential to tell stories and let players “live” through them.
The developers already announced that Fallen Order story takes place on many different planets, the main character will have a lightsaber, and a droid-companion will follow him throughout the game. Sounds like everything a Star Wars fan would want from this game, doesn’t it?
Also, it’s important to note that the previous game Respawn developed, Titanfall 2, received a lot of positive reviews, featured an innovative gameplay, and an interesting, sometimes very emotional, storyline.
Of course, all of this doesn’t mean that the upcoming Star Wars game is going to be a great game. But so far I don’t see any reasons to think otherwise, and I can’t wait to see gameplay video from EA Play, which will take place tomorrow, June 7th.
The announcement I’m most excited for is Legend of Zelda ! I’ve been playing Zelda series games since I was little all the time and my cousins were the one who showed them to me. We got together to play Breath of the Wild not too long ago and I can’t wait to be able to spend time again with this new game coming out soon !
I’m excited to see the new xbox that is coming out because I want to see how much I need to save up lol
I am very excited to play Pokemon Sword and Shield on the Nintendo Switch. It is one of my all time favorite game series and I cannot wait for it to finally come to home consoles!
EA’s new release of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order looks awesome since I love Star Wars and this particular plot.
I’m really excited about the Baldur’s Gate 3 announcement from Larian Studios. I grew up playing games like Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2, and I’m excited to get a chance to revisit the world of Baldur’s Gate, and maybe one day share it with my kids.
I’m most excited for the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, developed by Infinity Ward. Having been a hardcore gamer in the franchise since CoD2 days, it was really at CoD 4 Modern warfare where I got into it deep, even competitively a bit in Modern Warfare 2.. Always been an Infinity Ward fan, and with some Naughty Dog Devs now working on this franchise as well, I am super stoked for the Single Player Story and the Multiplayer alike.. While I grew up gaming on PC, and still have a gaming PC nowadays, I do find myself more time on the PS4 though, because most of my friends are on there, and I really enjoy team work based games with friends.. Looking forward to E3 and best of luck to everybody in the contest..
I am excited for the new Pokemon Sword and Shield on Switch. I have played 100s of hours on each generation and i cant wait to do it again.
The item we would love to have once again is a PS4 console (PlayStation 4 Pro 1TB Console). We had a great console but lost it in the Ste Marthe sue le Lac flood last month. The first thing my son asked after we evacuated was if I thought his PS4 was ok! We were browsing on line to find a deal and stumbled across an article on E3 discussing Days Of Play and the expected deals. So that’s the gaming event i look forward to the most in 2019, a sweet deal on PS4 to replace the one we lost
Borderlands 3 is the G.O.A.T for me. Gearbox, barring all their recent issues with management, has managed to create a fun world to play in. It’s an interesting design choice to let the telltale game be canon (R.I.P. Scooter) but it should play out interestingly enough. Also free DLC that will help bridge 2 to 3 is a nice added touch.
I am most excited to see what Pokemon Sword/Shield have to bring!
The game I’m most excited for is the Legend of Zelda – Links Awakening remaster by Nintendo. One of my greatest childhood memories was playing the original game on the Gameboy and I’m looking forward to introducing my son to the next gen version of one of my favourites.
It’s a toss up between Halo Infinite from 343 studios and Doom Eternal from ID software on Xbox One X. Both are awesome franchises that go way back in my personal gaming history. I have fond memories of playing both games when I was younger with friends. Especially one night playing Halo through the tunnel software to system link with others online. Probably the most fun I’ve had playing a 16 player death match.
I am excited for the Watch Dog Legion game announcement made the other day. This game, manufactured by Ubisoft, looks to be innovative and a creative step forward for the series. This announcement is important to me because I appreciate gaming companies taking creative risks to further the medium forward, and I feel this game is an example of just that.
I just saw Baldurs gate 3 announced. Pretty hard to contain my excitement! Great memories playing that series, and can’t wait to get back to it!

I’ve always wanted a pokemon game for tv consoles and now we’re finally getting one! Been wanting this since I was a Chile playing pokemon firered on the DS lite. Pokemon Sword /sheild looks great so far. Can’t wait to see what else Nintendo will announce about it.
I can’t wait to see how gears of war 5 turns out, gears of war 4 was very good in terms of multiplayer and the campaign was alright. I will wait to see how the coalition continues off where gears 4 finished
There are so many games to get excited about but I’d have to say I’m most excited about Borderlands 3!!!
I can’t wait to see how dying light 2 is being made I loved the first one and will wait to see how techland develops it
I am excited about Nintendo’s new game Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening because I have been playing zelda’s games since when I was a little Mario :-). #letsmakenintendobigagain
Cyberpunk 2077 by CD Projekt. Love big rpgs with lots to explore like deus ex, and this looks like it’s going to have a ton of content. Can’t wait to learn more
I just saw that Baldur’s Gate III has been announced coming from Larian studios. I loved the first two games in this series so long ago and cannot wait to see what this one looks like.
Cyberpunk 2077 by CD Projekt Red. Been really looking forward to game coming out. Can’t wait for the announcements!
I am most excited for Halo MCC to come to pc it will be a walk down memory lane of my childhood and I just wish it would come out sooner 😀
Definitely excited for Google Stadia. Being able to play game titles on my non gaming laptop sounds so amazing
I would love to see more exclusives for the xbox this next gen but time will tell! I play a lot of cod Black ops 4 right now, assassins creed odyssey and forza horizon is also great fun.
I also love the line up of Nintendo games that have been keeping me busy like Mario party Mario kart and Zelda. ! hope this years good with games too!
the remake of Final Fantasy VII by SquareEnix for sure!! Can’t wait for this to come out. I remember playing this when I was 8.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order looks like it will be great ! I’ve always been a Star Wars fan and I hope this game doesn’t disappoint! EA dropped the reveal trailer and it makes the storyline look awesome! As a massive Star Wars fan I am pumped for EA to release this game.
I’m excited about the new Legend of Zelda, Link’s Awakening game.
Looking forward to the VR reveals – both console and PC based
I can’t wait to play Pokémon Sword/Shield on my Nintendo Switch! Woot woot!
I am definitely excited for Square Enix’s Marvel’s Avengers game. After more than 10 years and 20 movies, it will be just awesome to play this game on my PS4 and be an Avenger.
I’m super excited for the Grandia HD collection that’s apparently going to be fully revealed in all its glory at E3. It’s supposed to include the first Grandia and Grandia II, both games, remastered in high def. I vividly recall following my brother to EB Games while we looked through the used games section where we first discovered Grandia. We had enough to buy it and so we brought it home and I watched him play (it’s single player after all and as the younger sister, I just prefered watching him kick butt anyway as that was just our usual pasttime together). I recall my brother eventually owning Grandia II too but I was older then so I don’t remember watching him anymore then. We grew apart and I stepped away from games for a while until my more recent return to playing games during my pasttime. I read the news just yesterday about the remake and it got me extremely stoked that I finally get to play it and understand it and relive that childhood memory (and then some). I believe the remaster will be called “Grandia HD Collection” which will be available for Switch and they’ll also be the “Grandia HD Remaster” and “Grandia II HD Remaster” for PC (Steam). Announced and will be published by GungHo Entertainment.
I’m mostly excited for the Pokemon Sword/Shield games announced by Nintendo! I grew up playing every Pokemon game since Pokemon Yellow on the Nintendo Gameboy Colour and to see the new game come to the Switch with it’s new world and what looks like a somewhat open world is exciting to most Pokemon game fans!
The Gaming announcement that has me excited the most is a release date for The Coalition and Microsofts “Gears of War 5”. My very best friend and I absolutely love the Gears of war franchise and have been playing since the very first one together. Ever since the release of Horde, we can’t play anything else together. I am excited to see what new features Gears of War 5 brings to the table in single player, multiplayer and especially horde mode!
I am sad that Sony will not be having a conference this year but always look forward to the EA presentation. Star Wars Jedi Fallen!! I hope we finally get the star wars game we all want and deserve to have!! Activision, Bethesda, Square Enix, EA… COD Modern Warfare. Cant wait for them all really. Show me xbox exclusive too.
