I am really excited about the sequel for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild by Nintendo. The first game was a fantastic, generation defining game and I am still jumping back in a couple years later. Zelda is a great series and I can’t wait for more.
I am most excited for the SquareEnix announcement/bonus info of Final Fantasy VII: Remake!! FFVII is still one of my all-time favourite games, so the opportunity to relive the excitement in a brand-new format is super exciting to me!
I loved the Square Enix announcement of the final Fantasy 7 remake. The original ff7 on the PS1 was one of my favourite games growing up. I am very excited for this long delayed remake of a personal classic of mine.
I’m most excited for the untitled sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild by Nintendo. I grew up playing Zelda games and have many fond memories of the whole franchise. I can’t wait to continue the adventure.
Heard about the game Elden Ring during Microsoft press conference. Curious to see what George R. R. Martin will bring in a game developed by FromSoftware and I can’t wait.
Also Nintendo brought some surprises but one that really picked my interest was the Collection of Mana. Played the original on the Super Nintendo and to learn that there’s more to the franchise, I’ll definitely have a look at it.
I’m really excited for Luigi’s mansion 3 on the switch by next level games, because I’ve always loved the Luigi’s mansion games since I was a kid and it makes me really happy to see the game come to an amazing system like the switch
So excited about Square Enix, Crystal Dynamics and EIDOS Montreal’s Marvel’s Avengers game! This has been rumoured for a long time, and with the recent completion of the Avengers storyline in the MCU, it’s awesome to see a fresh story with some familiar characters that I love. This trailer offered just enough to pique my interest even more than it was, and I don’t feel that it gave the store away in terms of revealing everything – I’m definitely left wanting to know and see so much more about this title!!
The Nintendo announcements of Zelda: links awakening and breath of the wild 2 are what excited me. As a big fan of the whole series I am looking forward to replaying a classic and the next big game.
The announcement of the next Xbox, project Scarlet from Microsoft is the biggest news. Since this signified the beginning the next generation of console. It will have better support for 4k and perhaps even dolby Atmos gaming. This will provide you with the next level of immersive gaming experience.
Microsoft XBOX Project Scarlett is something that I am excited about. Backward compatibility looks nice and it will be a new experience.
For me, it’s Cyberpunk 2077 developed and published by CD Projekt. The visual looks amazing and Keanu Reeves is in it; what more can I say ?
The game I am the most excited about is the Final Fantasy VII Remake from Square Enix for PS4! Ever since watching the Advent Children movie as a child, I’ve always dreamed of actually playing the game in those same HD graphics. And now, a set release date has finally been announced, and it’s still a little hard to believe. I can’t wait to experience Final Fantasy VII in all its PS4-quality graphics glory!
I’m looking forward to Borderlands 3 by gearbox. They are always good with add on content for their games and who wouldn’t love a bizillion guns. Borderlands 1 and 2 gave so much replay ability so number 3 will most likely be the same.
All the news surrounding Bungie’s Destiny 2 improvements has me the most excited. The Shadowkeep expansion looks great, cross-saves will allow me more options to play wherever, whenever I want, and free to play will give the game much needed new light (pun intended).
Super Mario maker 2
The “Final Fantasy 7 Remake” announcement that “Square-Enix” made during their E3 2019 conference has me the most excited. I am glad they were able to show more about the gameplay changes and that they will adding more content to the Midgar section of the story as well as revealing the release date for this first part. The Final Fantasy series was what got me into Playstation and I am looking forward to re-experiencing FFVII in Square Enix’s new vision for it.
Cyberpunk 2077, because after playing the amazing Witcher 3, I can’t wait to play what Cd Projekt Red does next. Plus the visuals look crazy good!
I am most excited about the Breath of the wild sequel! This game is so well made! I love it!! And I would say that I am also excited about any new Nintendo Switch game on general.
I am looking forward to Nintendo’s Super Mario Maker 2 (Nintendo Switch). I love any game Super Mario-related because it’s nostalgic for me and is a fun stress reliever. I am also looking forward to the multiplayer capability -I’d love to be able to play it with my husband.
The announcement for the release date of Legend of Zelda Links awakening on Nintendo Switch made by Nintendo in the Nintendo Direct. Can’t wait for September!
i’m excited to try all the new games that come out!
I was excited about Pokémon, but Breath of The Wild sequel stole its thunder. An unexpected announcement of an astonishing adventure that kept me living a double life for months.
ell us what gaming announcement has you most excited in 2019 and why. Include in your comment the manufacturer who made the announcement, the title of the gaming item, and why this announcement is so important to you. Is it a game, a console, or something else?
I am so excited for Elden Ring, developed by FromSoftware, Inc. and Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc., a fantasy action-RPG adventure set within a world created by Hidetaka Miyazaki—creator of the influential Dark Souls video game series; and George R.R. Martin—author of The New York Times best-selling fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire. This is going to be the most epic story ever for those who love Game of Thrones. This will definitely be a deciding factor for me to actually buy a PS4!
I am most excited about the announcement for the next Xbox of Project Scarlet from Microsoft. This announcement signals the coming of the next generation of console, which means better graphic, better game play and etc. I’m looking forward for the extended support for 4K TVs and perhaps even Dolby Atmos support for a more immersive experience of gaming.
I’ll be on the happy final fantasy 7 remake bandwagon. This game represents my teenage years, it’s nostalgic, it’s epic. I remember playing this game and at the part where Tifa is with him inside Cloud’s broken conscience, I felt like broken too. Trying to figure out the man i wanted to become instead of being a people pleaser and how I sabotaged myself back then. Looking foward to this game because i’ll be celebrating part of myself that kept on living when everything was Cloud-y (pun intended).
I am most excited for CyberPunk 2077. It sounds like a GTA game with a different style of gameplay. It is set in the future and the characters look very interesting from the trailer. The manufacturer is CD Projekt Red. The game is important because there are very few RPG games out right now and I feel this will definitely be of interest to me. Not to mention the dev team consists of devs from Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt (beautiful game!!!!)
I am most excited for Animal Crossing: New Horizons from Nintendo because that game has created so many fun memories for me and my friends when we used to play Animal Crossing: New Leaf together. It’ll be great to create more memories by visiting each other’s town again in New Horizons when the game comes out!
Nintendo announcing ‘Link’s Awakening’ release date!! This is one of my favourite Zelda games and has a special place in my heart. I have great memories of playing this as a small child and being stuck of dungeons for months… this was before internet access was at our fingertips.
The announcement that exited me most was the the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild sequel from Nintendo. Was totally unexpected and a huge surprise to most fans. The first one was one of the best game of all time for me. Being as it will probably be the first game in the series to play as Zelda!
The announcement that excited me most was the the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild sequel from Nintendo. Was totally unexpected and a huge surprise to most fans. Seeing as we may play as Zelda as it will be a first in the series.. The first one was one of the best game of all time for me.
I’m an avid Tales Series fan so the official announcement for Tales of Arise has me very excited for next year!!!
Microsoft XBOX Project Scarlett will be a significant leap in technology by the end of 2020.
I got most excited about the Series 2 Xbox Elite Controller that Microsoft showed in the E3 briefing! I just love the idea of controller options and flexible configuration that suits my style of gaming. The XBox controller is already the best one so my hope is that this new series 2 controller will be even better!
I’m super excited for Animal Crossing New Horizons by Nintendo. I’ve always been a fan of the series, but it looks like this one will be something special by combining aspects from all of the mainline and spinoff AC titles.
Can’t wait for Super Mario Maker 2 for the Nintendo Switch. Most of my friends agree because it will be the first Mario platforming game that will allow online multiplayer. Even though we’re far apart right now, I’ll be able to have fun with them whenever, wherever just like old times! I can always count on Nintendo.
For me, it’s project xCloud from Microsoft. To play anywhere is a dream come true
For me it’d be the announcement for the sequel of Breath of the Wild from Nintendo!! Mr Aonuma, said some time ago he wanted another game similar to BotW formula and/or a multiplayer function! I’ll be hyped if it’s true that maybe Zelda is the 2nd playable character, to make it multiplayer. I don’t know, but I’m excited to hear more!
My favorite announcement was Trials of Mana from Square Enix! Seiken Densetsu 3 was such an amazing game and to see it not only ported to the west but for it to have a full fledged remake makes me so happy!
The announcement of the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild by Nintendo was most exciting to me. I liked the atmosphere of the first game and I am curious to see how they will build on the story this time
I am excited about Oculus Quest by Facebook. Being able to play powerful VR games without having cords connected to the PC is completely next-level and futuristic. I also love how Oculus is working with game studios in bringing us more immersive games and VR experience. Their room-scale tracking is definitely amazing and enables opens up the floor for more immersive games to be built and played on.
The announcement for the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild by Nintendo has definitely been the most exciting one of 2019 up until now. I really liked the atmosphere and esthetics of the first game and I’m exited to see how they build on the story for this one.
Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII Remake announcement at this year’s E3 definitely has me the most excited. From it’s initial reveal a few years ago, I, along with my friends and family, have been on the edge of our seat any time Square Enix makes any kind of announcement. It is a game that we all grew up with and loved. With all of us getting older and busier with new stages of life, such as having kids, it is nice to have something to bring us back together. Even though this is a single player game, the amount of passion it has generated in a group of friends that want, but struggle, to game together again is astounding. Many people scoff at the notion of video games saying society today is glued to screens far too much and should be spending time outdoors and with friends and family. However, I beg to differ. Yes, actual physical presence and being outdoors is always great, but sometimes, an hour on PS4 party chat with your friends is all you can manage given the busy nature of our lives. This announcement has started the revival of a group of friends that seemed to have been slowly drifting apart and I couldn’t be happier for it.
Final Fantasy VII Remake by Square Enix. Been waiting for a long long time for this. Sadly its not coming out this year, but at least now there a release date.
Watch Dogs: Legacy. I thought there would be no more deliveries but I’ve taken a nice surprise!
Honestly, for me it’s one of 3 things. Baldurs Gate 3 is going to be amazing and I can’t be anymore hyped for that, but aside from that I would say either Nintendo’s announcement of a sequel to Breath of the Wild, or Square Enix giving us an official release date for the Final Fantasy VII Remake!
Nintendo announced Link’s Awakening for the Switch, and visually ,the game looks crisp, clear, and the artstyle is cute.
Final Fantasy VII remake by Square Enix. So looking forward to playing it!!
I am so excited about Google’s new video gaming platform, called Stadia. I found this announcement on the Best Buy blog. I think this is the future of gaming, as I like that there is no box, easy access from all over the world and it has the feature Stream Connect, that offers users multiple windows on a single screen with no impact! 🙂
For me it is about Halo Infinite. It was the first Halo: Combat Evolved on the original Xbox that got me into First Person Shooters. I had always been a gamer, but Halo was something new and fresh to me, in a genre I never really played. The universe was big (at that time) and the levels were amazing. I can’t wait to play the next chapter, Halo Infinite, on either the Xbox One X or the upcoming Project Scarlet.
For me personally, it is about Halo Infinite. The original Halo: Combat Evolved on the OG Xbox got me into first person shooters. I had always been a gamer, but Halo was such a new and fresh experience for me. I can’t wait to play the Halo Infinite, but it on the Xbox One X, or on the next generation Project Scarlett.
