Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is going to take up a lot of my free time.
I’m excited for Bethesda to give more details about the new Elder Scrolls game.
Final Fantasy VII from square enix for the ps4 is the most excited I have ever been for a games release, I have been waiting for some sort of announcement for years
Definitely excited for Last of Us 2 on the PS4 by Naughty Dog!!
I’m most excited for Death Stranding by Kojima Productions as it just looks sob interesting and has a lot of mystery to it.
I’m most excited for Marvel’s Avengers from Crystal Dynamics. I love Spider-man PS4 from last year and Avengers has some big shoes to fill, but if they can nail the tone and a good story it will be awesome!
I am most excited to hear anything about Elder Scrolls VI from Bethesda. I was one of the many who fell in love with Skyrim (I have over 1,000 on it) so a new installment into the franchise is exactly what I am looking for. I really hope to see and hear some good things about this game.
Death Stranding by Kojima et all. So many actors, so much funding…and, it’s Kojima!
Why pick one when you can live and play every game that was created for man or woman kind!
I am most excited about PS5. I can’t wait until it comes out. Backward compatibility is what I am looking forward to.
Square’s Avengers, Borderlands 3 and WoW Classic all have my hyped for gaming in 2019. We’ll see what else E3 has in store though
Ever since 1977, Star Wars has been a favourite franchise to follow. Looking forward to more information from Electronic Arts Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order for E3 2019. The game seems to provide die hard fans another path to the Force, not since Force Unleashed, where single players embellish into lightsaber & force powers. Even though game release is later, anticipation is high
Really excited for Activision’s Call of Duty Modern Warfare this year. I’m been a long time fan of the whole series and the last few years have been a little disappointing. I’m hoping this game brings the series back to the quality of the previous MWs.
Got goosebumps watching the reveal trailer this week. I’ll be picking it up for my PS4 for sure.
I was really excited about Microsoft announcing game pass for PC, and continuing to promote cross platform play.
I am excited to see Super Mario 2
I’m excited to hear more about the Final Fantasy VII remake game by Square Enix. I have fond memories playing the original and can’t wait to see the new game play updates.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare. Enough already with the flying and wall jumping. Straight up shooting is what is needed.
Hololens 2. Hopefully it will be much closer To the AR microsoft has been promising.
Excited for the entire Xbox briefing in a whole, but can’t wait to hear more on what the recent PlayStation servers running through Microsoft news will truly mean for cross platform gaming and beyond. Solid campaign for a “modern” warfare COD has my interest. Modern warfares campaign was like no other. As much as I enjoy their blackout, a new solid storyline from a time when to me COD was at its best is what the series needs
I am most hyped for Borderlands 3 by Gearbox! Have been playing since the original and still play BL2 with my cousin and some friends. Great escape after a long day at work!
The announcement of Super Mario Maker 2 by Nintendo got me excited. I was hoping to see some new aspects of Super Mario Maker because I am such a big fan of Super Mario in general.
Death Stranding by Kojima coming out this year just so we can finally find out what the heck it is about.
I am hoping for GTA6 on PS4.
Fingers crossed, love open maps.
World War Z Co-op Play…. nothing like blasting zombies with my bro!

World War Z Co-OP Play…. nothing like blasting zombies with my bro!
I’m hoping for more details on the next Elder Scrolls! ESO is holding me over until it drops, but I’m already jonesing…
Gotta say I’m most excited for animal crossing for the Nintendo switch (hoping it’ll still release this year). Ultimately I’m excited because it’ll be the first animal crossing for a console since the Wii (but it’ll still be portable like the handheld versions). I’m just excited to have laid back game to play in my spare time.
I’m really excited to see which games I’d like to buy. E3 does a great job at informing me about future releases. I have a PS4 and a Switch so I’m mostly looking forward to the game releases for both consoles. 2019 and 2020 are huge years for gaming.
I am excited for the announcement of Marvel’s Avengers by Square Enix. I’m a huge fan of comic books and all media derived from comic books. After an amazing experience with last year’s Spider-Man by Insomniac, I am hungry for more good story driven games with amazing visuals.
I’m more excited for the post, always been a PlayStation person fan, and looking forward for there backwards compatibility, very excited can’t wait
I’m pretty excited for the gameModern Warfare that’s releasing in October. Call of Duty made the announcement and I first saw it on Twitter. I spent a good amount of time with friends playing the old Call of Duty games and am super excited to see a reboot of Modern Warfare. Cant wait to see more news at E3.
I’m excited for the new plants vs zombies garden warfare console entry that is supposed to be out in 2019. I’ve seen several leaks via twitter and Reddit. My son and I enjoy playing this together. I do believe it was announced during an EA conference call post earnings release their most recent quarter.
NHL/Madden 20
I’m most looking forward to Borderlands 3 by Gearbox. The other Borderlands games are fantastic and it’s hard to find games that work so well with a couple friends.
I cant wait to see and play Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order from EA on PC or XBox. I am a huge Star Wars fan and love the expanded universe and everything in it.
Im most excited to see AMD’s new graphics cards announcement at E3. Been waiting for a long time for something to compete against Nvidia’s overpriced gear.
Me be anything from gear 5 or halo infinity Microsoft team
I’m most excited for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. My siblings and I don’t really play the PS3/PS4 together all that much but I remember when Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 was released we played together all the time and it was so much fun. We had a blast. So I’m really excited for this game to come out so that we can play together again. That looks like it’ll be nostalgic. I’m excited.
The Borderlands 3 game from Gearbox has me most hyped. Been playing this series since the first Borderlands and have been anxiously waiting for BL3.
We are in the process of moving and my daughter is turning the rec room into a gaming room. She would be absolutely over the moon for the Nintendo Prize Pak #2. She is a huge Zelda fan and has been talking up the Nintendo Switch for ages. What a great addition that would make to her new gaming room! She also attends university up north and the portability of this system would be awesome and keep her entertained on those cold, snowy nights (when she’s not studying, that is)
It’s a bit of a smaller game, but I’m very excited about Astral Chain. Platinum Games are reliably good, and the gameplay looks really fun.
I’m excited for the announcement of Marvel’s Avengers by Square Enix. I hope they launch it for PS4. I am a huge fan of comic books and all media derived from comic books and after an amazing experience playing last year’s Spider-Man by Insomniac, I’m hungry for more good comic book games.
Love the nhl games. Waiting for the new on to release!
Definitely looking forward to seeing more info for Cyberpunk 2077. I love the Witcher series so much and I have great expectations and hopes for CD Projekt Red’s new game.
The Avengers game by crystal dynamics has been in development for so long I can’t wait to see what it is.
Looking forward to Xbox, maybe Xbox Two or Project XCloud!
Modern Warfare because who wouldn’t be pumped for the best series in the COD franchise to get a reboot!
For me it is definetely Sony and PlayStation 5 announcement since I told me kids we will wait to buy until we can buy it. But my kids are now 8 and 10 and they really want a new console, our PlayStation 2 is out of date and the only Switch we have is not enough.
