Existed for “The last of us 2” the best game
It has to be the new COD modern warfare just for the throwback of one of my all time favorite games
CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE !!!!!!!! It’s been years, literal years since a call of duty game has gotten me excited to play it. That trailer from Activision and Infinity Ward has done it. October can’t come soon enough, it’s even got some of the same characters as the first one.
I was excited to hear that Crash Team Racing was coming out for the PS4! I used to play this game when I was young so it’s very nostalgic.
The potential announcement of Fable 4 (game) has me most excited. Because it is my favourite franchise ever (main series).
I’m looking forward to Marvels Avengers by Square Enid. Now that the cinematic universe had had its grand endgame I want to see the beginning of a MGU Marvel Game Universe
I can’t wait to hear more about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare by Activision. Didn’t know if I was gonna like it but after all the announcements I’m ready to play it.
Kids have been dying for a switch!! Looking forward to checking it out
The release date of Death Stranding by Kojima Productions and Sony. Since the departure of Kojima from Konami and the cancellation of Silent Hills, I have been looking forward for the type of game and story that only Kojima can produce. With the addition of Mads Mikkelsen and Guillermo del Toro into the story as well, Death Stranding will be one of 2019’s best games.
Pokémon sword and shield for the switch!
1.They are allowing use of pro controller for it.
2.New and exciting Pokémon

Announcement by Nintendo

I am beyond excited for the newest Final Fantasy 14 expansion Shadowbringer! I’ve been playing FF14 since release and this expansion looks like it can top the last two.

Marvels avengers!! Hands down, been waiting for something like this since ultimate alliance 2!
I’m excited for the new Animal Crossing, Link’s Awakening remake and Metroid Prime 4 being released for the Switch. I’m also excited for Halo Infinite and the Final Fantasy VII remake as well!
Any playstation news is good news, but with the announcement of a new console comes price drops of previous gen console and some of the games, always a good way to save some money
I’m excited for the new Halo Infinite game from Microsoft (XBOX) because I want to know what has happened to master chief. Also why he is at another planet and is it to destroy another halo ring.
I’m really looking forward to a more powerful Switch, because games would then be even more awesome than they are already! Thanks for the chance to win!

Avengers!
Im excited about Halo Infinite(Microsoft & 343) on Xbox One & Gears of War 5(Microsoft & The Coalition) on Xbox One. These announcements are so important to me because I grew up with these games and now I can’t wait to keep playing the new ones into my adulthood!
Pokémon Sword and Shield by Nintendo! I’ve always loved new generations of Pokémon and it’s a big enough reason for me to upgrade to a Switch!

Really Looking forward to the Ubisoft Line up. Always has great games! I have been having a hard time finding anything the I find interesting and fun to play without getting extremely frustrated
The Death Stranding announcement from Kojima productions and Sony has me super amped up, Ive been waiting for this game since they cancelled Silent Hills cause I love atmospheric horror games and I think this is just gonna knock it out of the park
Marvel’s The Avengers by Square Enix,developer- Crystal Dynamics
I have been hoping for a new game & can hardly wait..
I really miss Future Shop and I’m disappointed that Best Buy bought them only to shut them down,they had in my opinion a better shopping experience.
I know that I’m not going to win anything by my comment but needed to get that off my chest.
The announcement by Sony and Microsoft to collaborate on cloud gaming. I have high hopes that eventually this will lead to reducing costs of games, transferring data between consoles, and the big thing being cross play. Being able to connect with my friends who have never been able to buy an Xbox is a dream for me. Essentially it would be an end to console wars between the two giants, and hopefully allow more collaboration to make things better for gamers as a whole.
My most anticipated news is regarding the announcement for the next gen consoles.
I’m excited for Microsoft’s E3 press conference, because from what I heard, the next gen system is going to be an absolute beast of a machine! I can’t wait to know more about the unit itself, the price and the release date. I’m the type of person who will pre-order it and get it day one. It will be exciting to see what games will get released for it (including new IPs!!) and all the sweet new features it will have.
Avengers game announced by marvel, really need to play this after Endgame.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare cause back to basic stuff got me hyped up
