It’s gotta be Cyberpunk 2077. That Keanu got everybody pumped!
“Final Fantasy VII: Remake” by Square Enix since it will be another Final Fantasy with more real time action rpg and improved looks.
I am most excited for Cyberpunk 2077, the new RPG from CD Projekt Red. I have been amazed by their Witcher series for many years and am really looking forward to seeing them take on a new setting.
Super Mario from Nintendo. My nephews love it and the whole family is excited about gaming together. Great with surround sound and all the latest technology.
Legend of Zelda BotW2 and the remake for Links Awakening. I think Nintendo’s Direct was the most impressive. I enjoy got they stay to their own direction.
Stadia had perked my interest. I’ve pre-ordered it.
Xbox Scarlett sounds impressive in shear horsepower. Will have to see it in the flesh to believe.
Can’t wait!

Nothing is better than the announcement of Commandos 2 Remastered from Kalypso! An old time favourite made new!

The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Sequel announced by Nintendo!! I’m so excited for this! I grew up with Zelda and Breath Of The Wild is by far one of my favourites. I’ve clocked so much time into that game and it’s something I’ve been able to bond with my younger cousin over.
It’s a very special game to me and I can’t wait for a sequel!
The game i’m most looking forward too is Cyberpunk 2077 by CD PROJEKT RED. The world and story look so interesting and is very intriguing to me. Also, Keanu Reeves is in it.
I’m looking forward to Super Mario Maker 2 from Nintendo where I can play so many different levels with new elements.
Microsoft’s announcement of Cyberpunk 2077 because Keanu Reeves will be the alpha and the omega!
Excited about Nintendo’s announcement of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild! I played this game lots with my sister
Super Excited for many games!
The most exciting of all was the sneak peak for the Zelda Breath of the Wild sequel from Nintendo; that was a pleasant and very unexpected surprise!
I’m a Zelda fan and Breath of the Wild made me a super, duper fan. Since the sequel looks similar graphics-wise to the prequel, it’s a no- brainer. Can’t wait to hear more info about it!!
The game will probably be released by 2021 or 2022.
In the meantime, I’m preordering Cyberpunk, COD, Avengers and other titles; certainly taking advantage of the E3 30% promo! 😀
I am most excited for the release of Cyberpunk 2077 because of the setting and Keanu Reeves.
Animal Crossing New Horizons has reignited my interest in Animal Crossing. Being able to shape the island however you want seems like a really cool new feature that will expand the amount of creative stuff you can do as well as the crafting system looks interesting as well.
So many titles, but the ones I am looking forward to the most is Final Fantasy 7 Remake. The reason why I am excited for the FF7 Remastered is because due a disk error I was unable to finish the final disk of FF7 on PS1, I do understand that there is FF7 on steam now but I’m looking forward to the new graphics and the new combat system and finally finishing the game.
There are many other titles that I am also looking forward to playing such as, Pokemon Shield/Sword, Fire Emblem Three Houses, and the next Breath of the wild!!
The gaming announcement that has me the most excited this year out of all the games would have to be the brand new Pokémon games Pokémon sword and shield because for as long as I could remember I have been Pokémon fan and I’m looking forward to going though yet another region and meeting all of the brand new Pokémon created by game freak. And doing things like pick one of the Pokémon starters and meeting all of the new charters! Some of the other things that I’m looking forward to is some of the new Pokémon battle Tactics this Generation has to offer and what it means for the Pokémon battle ahead. I am disappointed that most of the older generations are being left out of this new generation though. Here hoping that something may be done about it and that the New game is a success.
I’m most excited by Nintendo’s announcement of Banjo-Kazooie as a DLC character for Super Smash Bros Ultimate. I grew up playing Banjo and Smash with my older brother and I’m super excited for them to be coming together!
Shenmue 3! It’s been a long time coming and for me its basically nostalgia. I played shenmue 2 as a kid and fell in love with the characters, the game play, and Hong Kong. That game makes me want to visit Hong Kong someday. Shenmu was announced during Sony’s press conference by producer Yu Suzuki at E3.
Most exciting announcement is probably Elden Ring from From Software. It’s always fun when crazy rumours, like Miyazaki x GRRM, actually end up being true!
Nintendo. Because Zelda. 2EZ.
The announcement for Square Enix’s Marvel’s Avenger game, after this year’s Avengers Endgame finding a game to continue the superhero fun just like Spider-Man did in 2018. With the possibility of Marvel’s Avengers being in the same universe as Spider-Man just add’s to the intrigue of the game.
It’s clearly CD Projekt Red’s cyberpunk 2077 release date announcement!
Woohoo!!
The original pen and paper did a great job in giving life to this genre. Now, being very close to the actual year the original game took place in, (2020, which might be the main reason for this release date 😉 ) we finally get to experience the Cyberpunk genre in it’s most glorious iteration yet!
I’m looking forward to playing Gears 5 with the new elite wireless controller series 2 project. Can’t wait for project Scarlet too.
It has got to be cd projekt red’s cyberpunk 2077 announcement. The graphics, the environment and the atmosphere of the cinematic trailer really was breathtaking. Also the keanu reeves surprise was badass and got more hyped for the game than i though possible. I am totally getting this for ps4 day 1.
Cyberpunk 2077 from CD Projekt Red already looked amazing but the announcement at the Xbox conference of Keanu Reeves having a part in the game was absolutely the highlight of the whole of E3.
7 years… It took CD Projekt 1 Keanu Reeves and 7 years to finally announce the release date for Cyberpunk 2077. So many things happened during that time, so many exciting games, platforms and projects were announced, some disappointing and some extraordinary. One things is for sure though, CD Projekt will not disappoint, they always put the money where their mouth is and after the experience they gained with the Witcher series, they can only produce pure gold.
As a gamer and RPG lover, the most amazing thing to witness is passion. A group of people going above and beyond to offer an immersive and complete experience at launch, not following the standards of the industry by not giving the same repackaged content every year. Knowing that there is a company that keep the user in mind for every step of the process only makes it even more pleasurable to play and enjoy what they have offer.
Borderlands 3 because I loved Reese in tales of the borderlands, and the first two games, as well as the pre sequel were really good. It looks very funny and the gameplay looks unique compared to other entry’s in the series.
I’m excited for borderlands 3 on Xbox one because borderlands 2 was one of my favourite game and I have been waiting for it 5 years.
Halo Infinite i like that its coming to pc, I like that they went back to the old armour, it looks great graphics
Nintendo’s announcements of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Our family are big fan of the Zelda franchise.
I’m excited for Square Enix to finally release Final Fantasy 7 on PS4. It was such a great game on PS1 and was so iconic. It was one of my first introductions to the FF series and I’ve followed along since.
Cyberpunk’s release date has spawned the hype machine for me. We’re rolling now. CDProjekt RED brought Keanu in the make me say “WTF?” in the middle of the Xbox conference, and it… is…. on. Lets get gritty, i want to sink my teeth into that world, and we can…. soon.
Personally excited for Platinum’s Astral Chain for the Switch. Platinum’s combat mechanics + having mech buddies to fight with you, what’s there not to like! The art style is gorgeous as well and shows how much can be done even on the Switch’s hardware.
Well after everything that happened, I have to say that seeing Luigi’s Mansion 3 for Nintendo Switch was cool enough, but I’m from Vancouver where the developer is. I’m proud to see Next Level Games making another great Nintendo game out of Canada!
Pokemon sword from gamefreak/nintendo . Gotta get that yearly pokemon game.
Cyberpunk 2077, it finally has a release day and John wick is in it as well.. can’t get any more excited
The Gaming announcement is most exciting for 2019 would have to be Microsoft XBOX Project Scarlett. The reason why is the backward compatibility features. Am tired of systems that you are unable to play the older games on so the new system sounds exciting – hopefully it works
The gaming announcement that has me most excited in 2019 is from The Coalition (a Canadian video game developer based in Vancouver, British Columbia) and Gears 5, because I can continue thrash talking against my family in the states, finding out what is going on with my family at the same time and also supporting a Canadian game developer. ⚙
The gaming announcement that had me most excited in 2019 was CD projekt Red announcement for cyberpunk 2077. It was announced by Keanu Reeves. I’m most excited for this release because I’m such a big fan of The Witcher 3.
Very excited by the Breath of the Wild sequel announcement from Nintendo. The first game was such an amazing experience – there’s a reason why it had more preorders sold than Switches sold on release! The sequel also has a darker feeling theme, which gives exciting Majora’s Mask vibes.
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.
