Announcements for new ps4 games and new nintendo games!
I’m very excited to hear about the new Pokémon games that are coming out for the Nintendo Switch, I believe it will be just as amazing as the Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee. Looking forward to hopefully playing both!!!
CD Projekt Red’s Game, Cyberpunk 2077 for sure. I grew up playing the Witcher series and cant wait to see the studio build a futuristic world for me to immerse my self in and explore. So pumped!
Most excited for Nintendo announcement of Pokémon Sword and Shield
I’m most excited about Sony first party game announcements, and most importantly The Last of Us 2. The first game is my favourite game of all time and can’t wait for the second game!
For me it’s all about the Final Fantasy Reboot launch this year for E3 where Sony is ready to have this game make history again!
I’m most excited for Borderlands 3 announced by 2K. This game has always been dear to my heart and I always love the comedy.
I can’t wait to hear more about the new Call of Duty game by Infinity Ward. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is my favourite FPS game of all time. So I am extremely excited to see it reimagined with improved graphics, sound design, and more. I’m looking forward to hearing more about it at E3!
I am really really really excited for the new pokemon games sword and shield because it just looks sooo good like insane and I cant wait to interact with the beautiful world of pokemon once again. I have been playing pokemon ever since I got pokemon yellow on my gameboy so this series is like my home in a way. As soon as they come out im gonna try and save up to buy a nintendo switch to play them im so excited.
I’m most excited for CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077! Ever since their first little teaser image they released years ago I have been waiting with so much anticipation. This game is going to be amazing! Witcher 3 is still my faveorite most played game and i’m sure this new one will live up to the hype.
Borderlands 3 from gearbox software. Been excited for this game since the perfect borderlands 2 release back in 2012. They make the games in this series with so much care and humour and lack so much fun quests and everything in them!
I’m most excited for CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077, on PS4. It has been a game I have been following for a long while. It looks like something that only comes around one in a decade or so.
When I saw (on GameSpot) that Infinity Ward has reimagined Call of Duty Modern Warfare for PS4, I got a big time hit of nostalgia. That game for me was the moment when I really understood the hype behind online play. I was a solo-campaign-only guy before that game, but all the countless nights playing with buddies, all the laughter over voice chat, all the time spent trying to unlock the golden guns and go Tenth prestige; they hooked me in for many more years of gaming. I can’t wait to pick up a copy and see how terrible I am at it!
First, I just gotta convince my girlfriend that buying a PS4 is a good thing!
FFVII remake, Square Enix.
It’s my favorite game of all time. Put more hours into this game when it came out than anything else in my life.
I even have a materia tattoo.
Definitely excited for the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare made by Activision and Infinity Ward. This game takes us back to the modern warfare days instead of all the futuristic styles they had been making in these recent years. All in all it is a big excitement to be able to go back to the classics again.
I am excited for the microsoft press conference for the new generation in gamin!!! Let’s see what they have to offer
Looking forward to the next gen PlayStation announcement from Sony. Took some time off from gaming and itching to get back in!
I am seriously excited and hopeful for a preview or word on the new Halo game. I’ve played loyally and religiously since Halo 3, and I can’t wait for the series to continue. I’m also excited for the new Call of Duty game to be released, but Halo will always be #1.
I’m excited for the release of Pokémon Sword and Shield. I think functionality of the Nintendo Switch was a brilliant idea. To top that all of Nintendo’s games have become classics (Mario, Super Smash Bros, Pokémon). Nintendo has proven to impress generations of gamers and have a great track record, I’m excited to see what they have in store for us at E3!
I am excited about Nintendo Mario game I want too see what other unannounced game they have up there sleeves. I hope it’s new Mario Cart Game
I’m most excited by…the Dino Crisis reboot from Capcom! Yes, I know it’s just a rumour, but it has been hinted at by multiple very good sources. Seeing Dino Crisis reborn in modern graphics would be awesome. And if it took on elements from Resident Evil 4, even better! I always believed dinosaurs would work better for the newer action based RE formula.
I am looking forward to the Zelda spin-off, Cadence of Hyrule, and the sequel to Breath of the Wild for the Nintendo Switch. Anything Zelda. Or Mario Bros.
I am looking forward to a new Sony console, hopefully the update will be mind blowing!!!
I’m super excited to hear about infinity wards of the Modern Warfare series as it was the first video game I ever played and turned me into the player I am today.
I’m really excited for the new PS5 console and am excited to learn more about this product. I hope I can make a upgrade from my console.
0987
I’m praying Microsoft announces officially age of empires 4 which is supposedly being made my relic games . That project has not been spoken about since a teaser trailer 2 years ago. Hoping it revitalizes RTS games 🙂
The announcement I am most excited to hear about is…the Dino Crisis reboot from Capcom! Yes, I know it’s just a rumour, but it’s been very strongly hinted at from very good sources. A reboot of another Resident Evil-like franchise would be awesome. Even better if it takes on the qualities of Resident Evil 4! Except it will be dinosaurs which I believe will work much better with the shooting formula. I would be so happy if that rumour were proven to be true.
I am super stoked about Square Enix remake of Final Fantasy VII
Been waiting for this years ago and so looking forward to it, I hope they make a PS4 pro limited edition for it.
I am most excited about the Death Stranding release date announcement because I love playing Hideo Kojima’s games. I think Hideo Kojima is a creative genius and the best gaming developer ever.
I am looking forward to new Switch games, specially The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening.
I’m most excited for the new Legend of Zelda for the Nintendo Switch. I grew up playing Zelda on my Super Nintendo way back in the day. Total nostalgia!
I’m looking forward to: Project Scarlet (New Xbox?) by Microsoft. Hopefully a reveal of the rumored “Switch Pro” and the “Switch Lite” from Nintendo. Other Nintendo related games and announcements are: Fire Emblem: Three Houses, gameplay of the new Animal Crossing, I want to see a reveal of Pikmin 4 as I loved the past 3 games because they’re relaxing and easy to play. I hope with the announcement people could play more Pikmin. The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening for the Switch. I’m also hoping for a Smash Bros. DLC character announcement during E3 too. I also can’t wait for more news of Pokemon Sword and Shield. Other games by other developers include: the Avengers Project by Crystal Dynamics, hopefully an HD remaster of No More Heroes 1 and 2 by Grasshopper Manufacture, the Final Fantasy 7 remake by Square Enix, more Monster Hunter World: Iceborne news by Capcom,and Bayonetta 3 by Platinum Games.
The games I am most looking forward to hearing more about are Call if Duty: Modern Warfare (Infinity Ward), a possible new launch of the Halo series (Microsoft), and just being able to try out un released games and gadgets (particularly the scuf controller booth). I play PS4 but grew up on Xbox so the possibility of winning one to be able to play old games is awesome. Just the trip to E3 alone would be an experience of a lifetime!
The announcement by 2K Games for their upcoming game Borderlands 3 has me hyped for September 2019! It will be great to revisit the Borderlands universe with friends and take out enemies with endless combinations of modifiable weapons.
Honestly the game I’m the most excited for would have to be the Final Fantasy VII Remake by Square Enix on PS4. The history behind the game goes way back to the 90s, during the era of JRPGs, it was the game every other game wanted to take notes of (not dissimilar to your CODs or Fortnite). Final Fantasy VII started everything for me more or less in terms of what games could be capable of, the whole package. An interesting story and setting as well as cast of characters and even gameplay mechanics. The game is legendary status and paved the way for not only the Square Enix’s success with the Final Fantasy series, but for Sony as well. So I think it is very appropriate that this game is, in a sense, Squares magnum opus and a high profile title for PS4 (but maybe even PS5). Fans have waited more than a decade for this game, good or bad, concerning or not, the promise has been made.
Most excited for Call of Duty Modern Warfare to see how they go back to the basics but in modern times and adapt to the new gaming industry. Activision and Infinity Ward are the manufacturers.
I’m most excited to learn more about CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 game. I love the Witcher series, and I’m looking forward to learning more about the progress the studio has made.
Excited for Call of Duty Modern Warfare coming out on October 25, 2019! Love to see the company going back to its roots and bringing back a lot of the fan base!
I’m looking forward to the Final Fantasy VII Remake video game announced by Square Enix ! It’s been a long time since its first reveal at E3 2015 (4 years ago)! I’ve been wanting to play Cloud Strife since the animated movie Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (movie released around 2006, so I’ve been waiting for 13 years). This movie reinforced that I wanted to play his character and use that sick sword. I’ve been craving a next-gen version to do it justice (smash bros doesn’t quite cut it). Can’t wait to see what Square Enix’s E3 broadcast has in store!
Excited for new games being made for PS4 V.R.! So cool and life like, next level gaming for sure!!
I am excited about Nintendo’s release of the games Pokemon Sword and Shield for the Nintendo Switch. I have been playing Pokemon games since I was a kid. Love the game!
The next installment of Animal Crossing from Nintendo is set to be released this year and I am so excited! My mother knew nothing about video games and was always worried about letting me play too many. The only gaming system she would let me get was a Nintendo DS, and one of my very first games was Animal Crossing. I own the newest New Leaf game for the 3DS, and I am going to buy a Switch mainly so I can play the new Animal Crossing. There is so much nostalgia around this game.
I am really excited about Nintendo’s release of the games Pokemon Sword and Shield.
Given what we’ve been getting pre-e3, there’s quite a few. Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be showcased at Square Enix’s presentation, along with CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 at Microsoft’s presser. New Hardware announcements with all 3 manufacturers, PS5, Project Scarlett, and the new Switch redesigns. So this year will be an exciting time. Though what would be nice to see is more of Predator: Hunting Grounds from the devs behind Friday the 13th, but its merely an announcement at this point.
I am most excited for the Microsoft announcements.
I’m curious and interested in the game Crash Team Racing Nitro- Fueled, because I just love racing games like Mario kart and sonic and sega all stars racing so I think I’d be interested in this game as well.
I’m most interested in Cyberpunk 2077 by CD Projekt Red. I’ve been following the development of this title for years now and can’t wait to play.
I’m eagerly waiting for more information on the upcoming Animal Crossing game from Nintendo at E3. It’s been a long time since we last got a new full Animal Crossing game!
So pumped for Pokemon Sword & Shield because Pokemon was my childhood and still to this day I love it so it’ll be interesting to hear Nintendo’s plans for the franchise.
I can’t wait to see Nintendo conference, i really want to hear about marvel ultimate alliance 3 as i loved the first two games, and i have waited a long time for 3rd one to come out, and can’t wait to see what this ones all about and what new additions there are
