  1. I am most excited to hear about the new Fable 4 game that Xbox will be announcing. The Fable series peaking my interest in gaming to start with and it will always have a place in my heart. I can’t wait to find out what they’ve done with the story as well as the graphics!

  2. I’m anxious for Jedi: Fallen Order from Respawn and EA on PS4. I’ve grown up loving Star Wars but their media has been VERY hit and miss for me in recent years (Rogue One felt unnecessary since we know how the Death Stars turned out, Solo bombed for me and episode VIII was all over the place and not in a good way). Fallen order promises to be a remarkable single-player experience, the like of which we hoped for back with Star Wars:1313—something that’s declining with online play being so prevalent – and as a fan of the Star Wars Clone Wars and Rebels cartoons, tales from this era of darkness are always intriguing.

  3. Very excited to see what the new Modern Warfare will bring to the table. Been a player of the Call of Duty games since the very first on PC. The realism and authenticity they are able to put in their games which makes them stand out from the bunch. The amount of hours spent playing Spec OPS!
    Hopefully Infinity Ward will continue to set the high standard of first person shooters on the market at the moment.

  4. I’m most excited for the Final Fantasy VII remake by Square Enix for the PS4. FFVII was definitely my favourite of the franchise back in the 90’s and it is super nostalgic for me. The updated graphics and gameplay have me really excited. It’s something fans have been wanting for a very long time and now it’s actually becoming a reality.

  5. I’m excited about the Final Fantasy 7 remake developed by square enix. It was a turn based rpg when it first came out, and now they changed the gameplay to action rpg. I’m a die hard fan of the FF series so when this goes available for pre order, i’ll be getting the collectors ed.

  6. I’m personally most excited for updates on the game projects Nintendo has been teasing, particularly Luigi’s Mansion 3, the remake of Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, and (hopefully) Metroid Prime 4! Especially that last one since development was completely restarted with Retro Studios.

  7. I’m super excited about Halo 6, Gears of War 5, xcloud project, Doom Eternal and death stranding. Hopefully we will get Battlefront 3 as well.

  8. Want to see next gen consoles from Microsoft and Sony! Are they really going to be a big step up from today’s consoles?

  9. I’m looking forward to the significant amount of Microsoft Game Studio games being announced.

  10. The game announced I’m most excited for is Microsoft’s newest addition to the Halo Universe; Halo Infinite. Halo was the reason I got into gaming and got an xbox in the first place, and I miss playing this game with my sister so its nostalgic, and I can’t wait to try it.

  11. I’m excited for the Final Fantasy 7 remake, developed by Square-enix. It was a turn-based rpg when it first came out, and now they changed the gameplay to action rpg. This game was the turning point of my gaming life, since then i have been waiting for the next Final fantasy game that’s gonna come out. I’m a die hard fan of the FF7 so when it goes available for pre order, i’d probably get the collector’s ed!

  12. Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass for PC announcement – it’s so cheap, and so awesome on Xbox, I am really looking forward to trying it out on PC!

  13. I’m really excited to see what Bethesda is bringing to the table. It’s been too long since the last actually new Elder Scrolls game, and I hope they learned their lesson after last year.

  14. I’m really excited about the new generation of consoles and new games, mainly The Last of Us 2.

  15. I’m pumped to see what new consoles Sony and Microsoft might unveil. I also am curious to see what Nintendo has up their sleeve this year.

  16. Looking forward to the official release of Mario Kart Tour from Nintendo ahaha
    The game is super nostalgic for me since it’s something that I’ve played a lot of when I was younger with all my friends

  17. I’, very interested to see if Sony will discuss the Playstation 5 a bit more, and if Nintendo will announce any console refreshes.

    The thing I’m most excited for is Nintendo’s Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Pikmin 4! I love thise games!

  18. I’m most excited by the potential of the new Star Wars video game, Star Wars: Jedi – Fallen Order, developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by EA.

    It’s been a long time since a story-driven single-player Star Wars game has been released, and the timeframe covered by it (the apparent extinction of the Jedi) is really intriguing! With EA’s typical polish and Respawn’s satisfying gameplay, the game was good pedigree and enormous potential to me!

  19. Waiting to see what the new console announcements might be & also that Samsung 212 ” TV WOW Would love to get one of those!!

  20. I am most excited for the Metroid Prime 4 announcement from Nintendo that has already been stated is going to be sent over to Retro Studios to be totally revamped. It’s been 12 years since we’ve seen a full blown Metroid game on a Nintendo system but it is my favourite series and I think if they create the online multiplayer part of the game correctly that it could definitely rival some of the best online multiplayer games around such as Call of Duty or Fortnite. We will have to wait a few more years for this game to actually be released since Nintendo totally restarted production but I’m excited for any news on the game whatsoever, in particular the idea Nintendo may have for the online multiplayer experience they want to create with it as I mentioned above!

  21. I’m excited to hear about announcement for the next gen Nintendo switch and thr new Super Mario Maker 2 game. It will be cool to know the differences of the consoles and new tech in system.

  22. I am most excited to hear more about Pokemon Sword and Shield as well as the possibility of hearing more about a new Pokemon mmorpg that is said to be in the works. Never has a company nor video game captivated me more than Pokemon has, and with all the new games, apps, and even trading cards sets they are creating this year, 2019 is possibly one of the biggest years for Pokemon. That is exciting!

  23. Really hope that the remake of final fantasy VII will be released. It was the first rpg game I ever played and I compare it too every game I play. The story was awesome characters you could get behind! Old school music brought the correct mood for everything! If it is released I’m running to by it!!

  24. I am excited about Microsoft’s press conference and a look into the possible announcement of a new Xbox along with better first party titles. Microsoft really needs to nail the next iteration of hardware or they risk losing even more ground to Sony and bring about the death of the Xbox.

  25. Can’t wait to hear about the next gen consoles and what that will mean for future games. Can’t wait to see Modern warfare and the new engine. Hoping for GTA:VI announcement.

  26. Definitely most excited for Cyberpunk 2077 developed and published by CD Projekt Red.

    It’s been a long time in the works and so far looks absolutely incredible! Their which series is nothing short of amazing as well which makes this super appealing.

  27. I am excited for the new Avengers game by Square Enix to be announced at E3. I was a big fan the of the Batman Arkham series by Square Enix and hoping the Avengers platform will follow in similar fashion.

  28. I am very curious about the new Microsoft console. I have been wanting to get an xbone but this has definitely peaked my interest. I also am excited for the Nintendo announcements

  29. I am very excited about Death Stranding, coming from Kojima Productions to the PS4. I’ve always been a huge Kojima fan; for a long time it was my dream to actually work for him, and with the drop of the recent trailer I am even more hyped. I want to experience whatever vision that wonderful man has for us.

  30. I am beyond excited for the announcement of the new gen console and games. Xbox has been a part of my life for so long now, can’t remember a time it wasn’t there. Sadly upgrading my console hasn’t been a realistic opportunity for me due to financial reasons and so I’ve been left behind from all of my online friends/gaming experiences. Hoping there’s a possibility to change that this year! Much love to the BestBuy community for doing these contests <3

  31. I’m super excited about the development of skull and bones! Probably going to be one of the best pirate themed games yet!!

  32. I am most excited in what Nintendo has to offer for new tech or new games at E3, the console is gaining a lot of momentum and ever since I got the console this year it feels like that momentum plateau’d. But! I’m super excited with pokemon sword and shield, Bayonetta 3 and other rpg games (game freak’s Town) that can be added to the switch line up. Now is the time for Nintendo to really step up and compete (again) with Sony and Microsoft. I think having (Nintendo) this as an option is important because it drives competition, and a healthy competition means more benefits for consumers.

  33. Definitely most excited for Cyberpunk 2077 developed and published by CD Projekt Red.

    It’s been a long time in the works and so far looks absolutely incredible! The Witcher series is nothing short of amazing as well which makes this super appealing.

  34. It appears Playstation won’t be attending E3 still! They will be hosting something else I think, anyhow, that was news a long time ago. I would say I am interested in PC Indie games but that is more like everyone I live with – if I am being 100% honest though I have been avoiding seeing anything about Cyberpunk 2077 and Watchdogs 3. I literally have no idea because I am dodging and weaving any new information about it until they arrive and or have big news to share. Last year I took a peek at Cyberpunk but it was short lived as I am hoping to preserved the whole experience – reading headlines only, or watching a livestream is as far as I would want to go in terms of learning more.

    To the guy that asked for a keyboard above, lol haha omg dude you just win. XD – Dear Best Buy Santa, Please bring me a new gaming keyboard and headset this E3…..I mean Xmas…..I mean wait…can I just ask for anything?????? XD I think commenting on this chain has really proved that I need to go to the gym right now or grab a fishing rod and hit up a lake. XD Nah nvm, time to hunt some Rathalos!

  35. I would love to have the PS$ Pro so I could play more games at the same time. Besides better graphics (if it’s possible) I would enjoy the much-wanted extra bites.
    PS4 is awesome and so are the adventure games that look like movies we are directing.

  36. I am exited for the release of Luigi’s mansion 3 on the switch, announced by Nintendo to be released some time in 2019.

    I really liked Luigi’s mansion 2 on the 3ds, so I’m looking forward to play the third instalment.

  37. Will there be Elder Scrolls VI news from Bethesda? I figure with my Oblivion and Skyrim files less than half done and Morrowind untouched, another couple hundred hours in Tamriel is just what I need.

  38. I’m excited to find out more about star war Jedi fallen order and also any surprise announcements for things I wasn’t expecting

  39. I’m excited for all of the new nintendo switch games to come out this year. Especially Pokémon Shield and Sword!!!

  40. I think that I’m most excited for any news regarding the upcoming release of Dragon Quest XI: S for the Switch. The open-world gameplay coupled with the Dragon Quest style (and the optional 8-bit gameplay–very cool!) has me counting down to the release date! I can’t wait to see where the story will take me.

  41. If there was any doubt what is the most anticipated game of 2019/2020 it is “Final Fantasy 7” Remake. From The First few teaser trailers the remake looks like it will do Justice to its older brother, The greatest RPG game of all time. It’s a pity games now a days had the story telling of the great games of the past. Something that is sorely missing from games of today, that are too reliant on violence and online jibes at one another.

  42. Well I’d say I’m equally exited about the new Star Wars game and the avengers game that was just announced by square enix

  43. If there was any doubt what is the most anticipated game of 2019/2020 it is “Final Fantasy 7” Remake.
