I’m super excited for final fantasy 7 remake I’m dying to get my hands on that one
I’m really excited about FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE made by SQUARE ENIX… when my parents couldn’t afford to buy me videogames I was always playing Final Fantasy VII for PS1 at my cousins house, and there and thanks to my cousin, it became my favourite game of all times… Now my cousin has 3 kids and they are really struggling with money. I would love to win the NINTENDO PRIZE PACK #1, so I can gift it to my cousin and his kids!!!
I’m excited about Sony’s new game lineup and especially hearing about backwards compatibility so I won’t have to switch to play my old games
It’s a difficult choice! I’m most excited for the game(s) that the Sims team will announce at E3! We’re supposed to get three more this year! Oh, and Borderlands 3!
My favourite console is PC, but I would love to try another one!
Most excited for the last of us 2 brilliant game and story really can’t wait for it!! Also can’t wait for E3 let’s go!!!!
Can’t wait for new Mario and Pokemon games.
I’m so hyped for The Last Of Us 2!!!! Watched the trailer over and over again when it released! When Sony confirmed the release date that’s in June I just knew I had to have it! But I don’t own a PS4 🙁 The story of the first one had me hooked and I’m so excited on what the second one has to offer!
I’m most excited for the Open World Dune Game!! that has been announced by Funcom as well as 2 other unannounced Dune titles in the works. Dune has to be the largest untapped franchise out there and it’s finally getting new games and movies.
Sooooooo pumped!
By far the most exciting announcement this year is going to be the PS5. Backwards compatibility is something we have been requesting for a long time. I can’t wait to be able to play from such a rich library of games.
I’m most excited for anything related to the Last of Us Part 2. A new gameplay trailer, showing more of the story, and especially the release date. I play many different games, but the Last of Us has been special to me ever since the first time I played, it resonated with me. So a release date (fingers crossed for 2019) from Naughty Dog and Sony would’ve the biggest gaming news for me this year.
I am excited for call of duty modern warfare coming out this fall by Activision. Always liked their games and played every released game by the corporation.
Im so excited to see gameplay of Borderlands 3 from 2K games! That game has one of the greatest campaigns I have ever played. The graphics and story are tremendous and I cant wait to see what new features will be available 🙂
I’m excited for the next forza title and what it holds in store for the forza franchise
I look forward to Astral Chain on the Nintendo Switch by PlatinumGames as I am a fan of JRPGs.
I am most excited about the new disc less Xbox one a console. Finally I won’t have to take up space on my shelf for games that I want
Im most excited about pokemon sword and shield and animal crossing for the switch. Two of my favourite franchises in the same year!
I am definitely most excited about Call if duty: modern warfare 4. I am a huge fan of activision and the modern warfare series. I used to play for hours and made it to tenth prestige on every game. I love every minute of it whether I was playing alone or with friends. Can’t wait to rekindle some old gaming friendships!
Always excited about the new games coming! Nintendo is a classic and always restarts my love for it.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order the game by Respawn Entertainment for PS4
My son and I both love Star Wars and bond over new stuff coming out, also we could really use a ps4 bundle!!!
Gears of Wat
I am excited to get the scoop on anything for Borderlands 3! I’m also excited to see if BioWare mentions anything about a new Mass Effect or Dragon Age! I would also like news about Fable 4, a new Fallout, a new Elder Scrolls. I can go on and on, so much to look forward too!
Tom clancy’s the division 2
The most exciting announcements of 2019for me has been the details that are emerging about the Sony Pkaystation 5. I’m hoping we’ll see more details being announced as the year goes on. I’m looking forward to buying it as soon as it launches.
Cyberpunk 2077 by CD projekt looks phenomenal. Looks like once in a generation gaming title that will change the landscape. Looking forward to playing it on a Xbox one X!
Death stranding by kojima for the ps4!!! been watching this game forever, super excited for it!
I am most excited for EA’s new Star Wars game that they will announce at E3. Why I’m excited for this game is because it reminds me of KOTOR games which came out years ago.
At E3 I’m most interested in seeing Sony’s software lineup. They hit it out of the park last year with God of War and Marvel’s Spider-Man, so I’m eager to find out what’s in store for this year. I want an update on The Last of Us 2. Who doesn’t love a good story? The first one hit me hard, and I’d love any new update on the sequel. Maybe we’ll get an announcement on the next Horizon Zero Dawn, or an update on the Final Fantasy VII remake that we’ve all been waiting forever for. I know PS5 is coming soon, but there’s still a lot of good stuff in this generation that I’m waiting to see.
Excited about what sony have us for suprise.. Ps5 might be reveal in this E3 this year.. Plus all of the sony playstation exclusives.. Cant wait for E3..
What I’m most excited for is cyberpunk 2077 from CDPR. Never have I been so invested into following a game so religiously. I, along with everyone else has been eagerly anticipating a release date announcement and I believe this is the year we will get it. Hopefully it launches is 2019 to boot.
Witcher has been one of my favourite franchises ever created. I played the original on pc years ago and it enthralled me with its vast universe and deep lore that I couldn’t put it down. Immediately once I was done with the game I went out to buy the books. CDPR has done a fantastic job breathing a new life into the Witcher franchise so I believe whole heartedly that they will do the same for cyberpunk.
Please, please, please! Come out this year, the wait is killing me.
Pokemon Sword and Shield is what I’m waiting for! Love all of them!
Nhl 2020 for Xbox is the most anticipated game for me. I’m looking forward to who’s an announced as the cover player
I’m most excited for the release of Super Mario 2 by Nintendo. The reason I’m excited is that our girls 13 and 10 will get the chance to allow the most exciting characters like Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and more into their gaming lives. They will also be able to open up their imaginations and immerse themselves in the most wonderous worlds that I grew up with and made me the gamer fan I am today.
I’ve told each girl how Nintendo was a commom word in our house as a youth way, way back in the 80’s and 90’s. Both will not have to experience the pain of having to pause their games while eatting or having to head out with the ‘parents, because there was no such thing as saving games.
I’m pysched to be able to have The Italian Plumbing bros enrich their lives as they have mine for many decades.
Finally, I’m rooting so hard that this game lives up to the hype that I’ve built up in my head as we all can’t wIt to possibly jump on turtle shells, rescue a princess and take down enemy bosses like the evil Bowser.
So many to be excited about! Maybe the Square Enix releases… oh but I am so excited for Nintendo’s Pokémon game, Sword and Shield! I’ve been playing Pokémon games since Yellow, always something I looked forward to doing, and can’t wait to start on a new adventure… especially having lost my previous games in a recent disaster.
I’m excited for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen order. I’m dying for a good Star Wars game from EA.
Borderlands 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so excited such an amazing series being continued. I’ve beaten every single one many of times and just gotten so much time and fun out of the game
Doom Eternal announced by Bethesda Softworks is the game I am most excited about. because I really loved playing games from Doom series and it has been 2 years since the release of last game in the series.
Borderlands 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so excited such an amazing series being continued
I’m most excited about the Pokemon Sword/Shield game which was announced by Nintendo/Gamefreak/The Pokemon Company. The game will be coming to the Nintendo Switch. It has been a long time since I’ve been waiting for more information on this game. Can’t wait to see what they have in store for us. Especially given that they announced Pokemon Home, Pokemon Sleep and the Pokeball Plus Plus. Can’t wait to see how they will bring very thing together!!
Hands down Star Wars Fallen Jedi Order by Respawn Entertainment & EA
Star Wars is huge to me and it has been quite awhile since there has been a great single player Star Wars game. Very excited to see what the teams At Respawn Entertainment & EA are going to bring to us.

The most exciting gaming announcement to me would have to be Cyberpunk 2077 from CD Projekt! The game looks absolutely amazing both graphically and gameplay wise! CD is known for their immersive worlds, and a cyberpunk theme is something I’ve always wanted in a game! The gameplay we’ve been shown is some of the most detailed I’ve ever seen and to see this company take on an FPS, I get giddy just thinking about it! My most anticipated game by far!
Waiting for Super Mario 2 ( Nintendo), worth the wait!
