For me, I am most interested in the New Doom Eternal Game. Shown off by Id, I’m so very excited to see, how they expand on the story and gameplay. Doom 2016 blew everyone’s mind! And I’ll bet Doom Eternal will do the same, if not more!
Thank you for your consideration.
Announcement for next PlayStation
Iām very excited for Animal Crossing on the Nintendo Switch! When they announced more information would be incoming, I was thrilled!
In terms of nostalgia, the new Pokemon core game Sword and Shield will be game changers. For the first time Gamefreak and Nintendo will be able to produce and utilize the full potential of the Nintendo Switch and make a Pokemon game like never before! This will definitely be a milestone that sets the new standard for the Pokemon series.
The announcement of the new Sony PS5 console has me the most excited in 2019 because I am always looking forward to what amazing gaming experience is coming next.
Iām excited for PlayStation new release of all games actually. Iāve never really had a ps4… but the game Iām most excited for though is borderlands 3. I have played the series but only a tiny bit because they were my cousins games. The manufacturers of the game system I want Is PlayStation
I’m pretty excited for Death Stranding by Kojima Productions. Especially with that full length trailer that was released this week!
I definitely can’t wait for Borderlands 3!
I am most excited for the announcement of Call of Duty Modern Warfare by Activision.
Most exciting about the announcement is the old call of duty feel, no battlepass, and cross platform. Call of Duty Modern Warfare is what got me into gaming originally and I have been nothing but disappointed in recent years. I am really excited to have them bring back the game style I fell in love with originally!
The announcement Iām most excited to hear more about is Nintendoās Animal crossing! Iāve been playing animal crossing since I was a little girl! Nintendo is by far my favourite company iām Also excited to hear more info about the new PokĆ©mon and Luigiās Mansion! Both games I played in my childhood!
The gaming announcement Iām most looking forward to is the game Final Fantasy 7 Remake from Square Enix on the Playstation 4. I loved playing this game on my Playstation 1 growing up and now I’m super excited to immerse myself in that world again.
Really excited about the new Last of us 2 announment at E3 with possibly a new ps5.
Ive been playing the last of us 1 maybe 10 times and still love it!
Iām waiting patiently to learn more about the new Xbox console from Microsoft. Love getting more powerful and advanced equipment and I am curious to see the Sony\s new PS5 and the new XBOX battle it out.
I am really looking forward to hearing more details on the Final Fantasy VII remake, and any other RPG type games that are coming out from big names like Bethesda, Square Enix, etc.
Hopefully there will be some nice surprises announced that haven’t been leaked already!
Definitely most excited for Cyberpunk 2077 by CD Project Red. I love open world games and the vast amount of things you can do in this game sounds amazing! The artwork for it looks really cool as well, should be quite an immersive experience.
Final Fantasy vii from square Enix. Fell in love on the PS1 and can’t wait for the PS4 remake.
Looking forward to see more about Nintendo and Mario Maker 2. It’s going to be one of the biggest games that people will play for years to come.
The Gaming announcement that is going to make me most excited in 2019 is Pokemon Sword & Shield because This is the Main Story Line version in Pokemon instead of it being a remake version like Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire in the Nintendo 3DS.
Title of the Game: Pokemon Sword & Shield
Manufacturer: Game Freak
This announcement is so important for me because as a Pokemon Fan for the longest time, this could be one of the greatest game by far and I’m so excited to play it later this year.
I don’t know about you Guys but I’m excited about the rebuild of RESIDENT EVIL 2 in PS4 and the BIOMUTANT. And in PC is the FARCRY NEW DAWN and ANTHEM!!!!
I am very excited about the new X box announcement and how it compares and surpasses the PS5,
I super excited about the newest Xbox Scarlett announced by Microsoft last year at E3. Iāve been an avid Xbox player since the original Xbox was first released and it just keeps getting better and better. Also some of these rumours about the cross platform online gaming seems intriguing and hopefully theyāll spill on some actual info about that at E3! Thanks for the opportunity to win
For me, I’m Definitely looking forward to, Doom Eternal! Announced by Id, the game is everything I could ask for! The first game blew the minds of people everywhere!. And I’m very excited to see how they improved on that!
Ive been holding off on buying a switch for a while so im hoping that this E3 has some announcements that will make me cave and get a switch!
Iāve heard rumours of GTA6 being in the works and an announcement from rockstar about that would be what Iād like to see the most but Iām not entirely sure thatāll happen! We can always hope though! GTA5 is probably my all time fav game so it would mean a lot to me if 6 was around the corner as Iām about to build my first gaming PC and that would be the cherry on top knowing that game would be one of the first Iād be playing on it!
Iām SO excited for Animal Crossing to come out on the Switch!! Iāve grown up playing it and love all the characters and music. I canāt wait to play!
I’m most excited for Microsoft’s new Halo Infinite for Xbox. I’ve been a Halo fan since day 1 but haven’t played it in so long. Hoping this version will bring fans back!
Iām most excited for The Avengers Project video game for PS4 because my son loves super heroes and this will be a first high quality game we can play together. Developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix
Death Stranding!!
Can’t wait for another master piece from Heidi Kojima, even though it’s not MGS6….
Hi everyone! I’m looking forward to Death Stranding, I believe that is the title of the game. I’m sorry that I don’t know the manufacturer. It appeals to me because the main character is from Walking Dead, the TV show. Great show, I have watched all 8 seasons, currently on the ninth. Game, graphics, music, everything looks spectacular so far. Can’t wait until November. Finally!!!
Iām interested in the atgames full scale arcade cabinet with 350 classic arcade games loaded in it and the ability to download more, I want to know the price?
I think it would look great in my basement by the pool table.
I am most excited about any PS5 news and announcements.
I’m very curious about the announcement of a new Xbox console from Microsoft. I’ve had every model since the first and always love getting more powerful and advanced equipment. Now that my kids are really into them as well, it will be great to share the experience.
Iām most excited for the Microsoft conference and hopefully more information on the new HALO game by 343 industries.
Super excited for what amd has been announcing. With their new Zen 2 architecture we will finally be getting great prices on very powerful CPUs and people on a budget, such as myself, will be able to build gaming computers that hold up to some of the Intel big league CPUs.
Exciting times.
What im most excited for is microsoftās announcement on their next gen console. There is a ton of things im excited about but yeah. Next gen consoles is what im looking forward to the most.
Iām looking forward to Death Stranding by Kojima Prod.
My love for gaming began with MGS and Iāve been following H Kojima ever since. Canāt wait to see his work outside of Konamiās constraints.
As a lover of all new shiny things, Iām excited to hear what Sony and Microsoft are planning for their next gen consoles. Sony has already talked a bit about the ps5 (if thatās what they end up calling it) and Iām liking what Iām hearing about backwards compatibility. I havenāt heard much official Microsoft news about their new console, but Iām expecting to hear from both companies very very soon at e3! I have also been holding off on buying a Nintendo Switch since hearing that they have a redesign in the works, hope to hear from them as well š
I really look forward to Team Ninja’s Nioh 2. I played through most of the first one with a friend from where I grew up. We both loved Nioh, had such great moments playing that game and it’s a chance for us to “hang out” in between my visits back home.
Waiting for the new “Star Wars Jedi – Fallen order” game from Respawn Entertainment !
I loved the second one, all better than the first one available on PS4… I’m not a big gammer, but solo campaign was really nice to play alone !
I would be glad to see that on the new PS5…. š
Definitely looking forward to Death Stranding! Interested to see what else can come from the kojima’s imagination
Iām most excited about mario maker 2. While itās flawed and other games may be more individually keyed to my tastes, MM2 has an incredible array of features and kind of just blew me away in that respect. To be specific, itās a game for the nintendo switch that is being released by nintendo, the release scheduled for the summer, and it was an exciting announcement because it was unexpectedly ambitious.
I’m excited to see Cyberpunk 2077. I really like CD Projekt’s games, especially The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. I hope Cyberpunk 2077 will bring a new interesting story to my life!
In this years E3, I am really sad Sony wont be attending but I know they will be showing us more on the last of us 2. The reason why itās my all time game is because it introduced to a father figure daughter relationship and now I have my own daughter, we are kind of like Ellie and Joel but no apocalypse. Am excited for this new one because I get to be in the shoes of a female fighting lots of danger in the last of ya world. That is bad ass gangsta and canāt wait to see what the story has in store. I hope I donāt cry
I am most excited about a potential new hardware version of the Nintendo Switch.
I would love to win the Ps 4npaxkage for my grandson!
The game I am the most excited about this year is āMarvelās Avengersā by Crystal Dynamics/Eidos Montreal. The reason why I am so excited about this game is because I am a huge comic book fan, especially The Avengers heroes. Also, as we all know, the Marvel Cinematic Universe had an incredible run with 22 films and with Avengers Endgame coming out, I feel like this game will let us play and experience how it is to be an Avengers. I canāt wait to play this game!!
cant wait for nintendo direct to see what they will be doing and i have been a fan of nintendo for a long time and really wish i could get a nintendo switch i miss all the old mario and zelda games when i was younger
I’m most excited for Marvel’s Avengers, whatever the game turns out to be! After it was more officially announced by Square Enix, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. Marvel comics and the marvel movies have had such a large impact on my adult life that a chance to dice in to the universe and experience it first hand is too exciting for words.
I’m excited to see Cyberpunk 2077. I really like CD Projekt’s games, especially The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. I hope Cyberpunk 2077 will bring a new interesting story to my life.
Definitely Death Stranding (PS4) from kojima productions and Sony interactive entertainment. My PS4 has been waiting for this, the first game from director Hideo Kojima since his messy divorce from Konami in 2015. Canāt wait!
Iām excited for Microsoft big announcement been gaming since xbox first released looking forward to gaming any where with Microsoft. Definitely stoked about MW still playing MW3 š
