Excited for new games and console announcements
This year I am most excited about the release date announcement for the upcoming title ‘Death Stranding’ by Kojima Productions!
The reason I’m so excited is that this is the first title that Hideo Kojima has made with no restrictions placed on him by a publisher. He is a visionary of game development and his work is so unique! Kojima is always elevating the potential of what games can be and do.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Deluxe Edition (Xbox One) I enjoy Star Wars and look forward to this new challenge. Ever since I had the first taste of Star Wars as a kid I love anything Star Wars.
I am most excited about Death Stranding by Kojima Productions. Having grown up playing his Metal Gear Solid seriesI, I look forward to what direction his next project will take on. His games have always emphasized on character development, and with famous celebrities playing key roles, it should be another cult hit.
I’m super hyped about the new PlayStation 5 announcement by Sony, where they confirmed the specifications for the console.
I’m also super excited about “The Last of Us 2” by Naughty Dog (my all-time favourite PlayStation games developers) and “Death Stranding” the new game by one of the best game designers ever, Hideo Kojima, under his new development studio called Kojima Productions.
Can’t Wait!!!!!!!
I’m interested to see how Huge the video game universe become *.*
I’m excited to see the new Sony Playstation 5 and Microsoft Xbox console that will likely be announced at E3. I want to see how they will use new GPU technology to bring them closer to PC quality gaming.
I’m most excited for announcements about Nintendo’s Super Smash Brothers: Ultimate Championships.
It’s really exciting seeing the best players in the world duke it out on the world stage!
I’m really excited about Pokémon Sword and Shield and what Game Freak can bring to the home console market. I’ve been a huge Pokémon fan ever since I was a kid and every iteration has me looking forward to what’s new.
I think that the release date trailer for Death Stranding from Kojima Productions and Sony Interactive Entertainment is pretty huge. I was expecting it for next year sometime, and it’s also the best look at the game we’ve had so far.
I was so disappointed when Silent Hills was canned, I’m just so glad to see Kojima getting the creative control to do something totally different.
Looking forward to Halo Infinite
I’m excited about the upcoming Super Mario Maker 2 that Nintendo announced and how I’ll get to play and create a bunch of cool levels on it!
I’m most excited for Death Stranding by Kojima Productions. I love how Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen, and I cant wait to see their performances in the game. Hideo Kojima games are always amazing! Cant wait to play this on my ps4 in November!
Call pf duty :modern warfare | Activision/infinity ward, ive been a call of duty fan since advanced warfare yes when the jumping starts but i loved call of duty games every since my most played is bo3 on the ps4 i grinded hard getting almost everything in the game and i played all the recent ones from ghost to bo4 today
As a huge Microsoft fan I am really excited to hear and see what they have in store for the future. The new xbox information release is going to be exciting as well!
I’m excited about hearing more about CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077. Having spent plenty of hours playing CD Projekt Red’s Witcher series, I’m intrigued and excited to see an open world cyberpunk game.
Another game I’m excited about would be Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 remake, again having spent countless hours playing the original back in 1997 unlocking all its secrets. I’m two minds about the new battle system as I’m a huge fan of the ATB (Active time battle) system that they had in their previous games, but hopefully E3 2019 will shed more light on it.
Would love to hear any updates on Sony’s PS5 console but rumors abound say that Sony won’t be presenting at E3 this year (!?), but they might surprise me.
I am most excited by Stadia by Google/Alphabet because it will change the way we play games
Star Wars: Jedi fallen order looks amazing and I can’t wait for more at e3 from Respawn. This could be huge! And show me a next gen console that plays it too. That be would be even better.
I am super excited for the new DOOM by Bethesda. The trailer got me excited and I am totally ready to slay some demons. Also, Square Enix’s FF VII remake has got me excited as I never finished the original and I am looking forward to the upgraded graphics/visuals and combat system. FF VII is particularly important to me as Square Enix has always been one of my favourite developers/producers and I love all their games for their story telling, gameplay, and environments/worlds they create.
Looking forward to more rpg style games
I am most excited for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for the Nintendo Switch. This announcement is important as my kids love playing games in The Legend of Zelda video game series. My son even dressed up as link this past Halloween
I am most excited for the Xbox, PS4, and PC cross play with the new call of duty coming out. Can’t wait to hear the game chat on which console is better and hear how the PC is better haha.
Would like to hear from Sony about the The Ghost of Tsushima
I’m most excited for the new Avengers game. It was announced 2 years ago and they’re finally releasing more info on it. The Spider-Man game was beautiful and I’m really excited to see what this game can bring.
I am most interested in id Software’s Wolfenstein – New Blood.
Activision revealed 2019’s entry as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare with a trailer giving a sense of the game. Its release date is set for October 25 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and it features some significant and welcome changes on the multiplayer front that should make it a lot more welcoming for players, along with what Infinity Ward calls a more realistic style of single-player campaign. but looking forward too the new vr games Developer: Insomniac Games | Platform: Oculus Rift | Release Date: 2019.
I’m mostly interested in seeing how the big game studios are going to screw over consumers with microtransactions.
I’m excited to learn more about fire emblem three houses!! And I hope they show SOMETHING from Metroid Prime 4 haha
I’m incredibly excited to finally see some Avengers announcements from Square Enix! Superheroes are my jam and after Spiderman I’m really craving a new game in the genre! Hopefully the release date isn’t too far away.
I’m interested in seeing the possible/probable new consoles for Microsoft – Xbox and Sony – PlayStation. Nintendo was rumoured to have two new consoles, a beefed up Switch and a mini Switch. It’ll be interesting to see what they do at E3.
I am excited to hear about both the new Xbox and also what Nintendo will announce !
Love to know about new kids gama
I am excited to hear more news about Cyberpunk 2077. I hope they give a release date for it, hopefully it’s not 2077. I love the quality and amount of detail that CD Projekt Red has put into their games.
I am most excited for the Nintendo Switch’s Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I grew up watching my brother play all the zelda games until I was old enough to have my own. I would love to have my own system and enjoy these awesome new games!
Hands down, I am so excited for Hideo Kojima’s first release from his own game studio Death Stranding. Announced by Sony, this game is so important for Kojima as he essentially has to make a name for himself again after his previous game company Konami cancelled the highly anticipated Silent Hills he was working on, rejected him from accepting an award for Metal Gear Solid 5, and fired him. Growing up, I would watch my older friends play Kojima games with awe, so his upcoming game Death Stranding where he is able to have total creative freedom shows how much both he and I have changed. I hope him the best.
The biggest 2019 gaming announcement I’m excited for is the rumoured PlayStation 5 by Sony. Some of my favourite gaming memories are games exclusively on PlayStation. From the emotional highs and lows of The Last of Us to the incredible action and world of God of War. Sony has been knocking it out of the park and I can’t wait to see where they go next!
I’m looking forward to seeing more on The Coalition’s Gears of War 5, published by Xbox Game Studios. I’ve played and look forward to all the Gears of War games, they are visually stunning and have extremely fun multiplayer and Co-op modes. More Gears of War means more good times with my buddies online!
Huge Call Of Duty fan been playing since Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and I’ve been in love with the series ever since and the new instalment of Call Of Duty; Modern Warfare has me ecstatic for the reboot of the greatest franchise of all time
I’m most excited for new xbox and playstation
I am most excited to hear about the new game Metroid Prime 4 by Nintendo, because they have gone back to the original developer of the original trilogy. Any update would be satisfying for the long wait to release.
I’m most excited for Square Enix to announce more details for the Avengers. I play on Xbox so I missed all the hype for Spiderman. I’m really hoping this game will be good as it’s been awhile since I’ve played a good superhero game! I have hoped it will live up to the hype.
I’m getting hyped about the new Borderlands game for sure. Same with the new Pokémon entries.
I’m excited about the new Switch titles!
I’m most excited about Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII Remake on PlayStation. Been a fan since it first came out and can’t wait to get my hands on the latest version.
I am most excited for what Microsoft is doing for gaming and those of us that love games. Sure, they came out headed up by the wrong mindset on XB1 at first, however since Phil Spencer stepped up everything has changed and we are now seeing Microsoft bringing some great ideas that grow gaming. I love that they brought out a well thought out controller to help people who may not be able to use the standard offerings, I love that they are expanding their business model to not be so outdated and stuck to the moronic idea of console wars, I love seeing what they have to offer next and hope that what they offer may help gaming not just thrive but also continue to grow and evolve in positive ways…okay, that’s a lot of love, so I truly hate that they didn’t give the Kinect for XB1 a fair shot, it truly is a great piece of equipment that they sank by giving us the 360 Kinect (should never have been the first in our hands) and then forcing the Kinect in a bundle. Anyone who truly tried the Kinect will know what I mean, but many others in gaming just like to hate things without truly trying them.
I’ve been on this earth for 42 years and gaming many of them, so I love games and I love playing them on any system that has them, therefore any company that keeps that growing and alive I’m on board with. It’s also why I love Nintendo, sure you may not get why they make some choices, but they are always sincerely trying. I do want Sony to surprise me for once and offer more than just a more powerful system and an insane marketing budget to sell things to the easily sold…I mean, their own system can’t operate their exclusive games well, by which I mean my Pro was louder than my 7.1 surround system while playing God of War, if I remember so did Spider-Man more often than not.
I guess my favourite announcement is simply that Microsoft is fully putting all they have into their Xbox division, Nintendo is still doing what Nintendo does, and Sony seems to thankfully and finally taking a step back and trying to figure their s$%t out, and hopefully they truly do. Bring on E3 2019!
Im most interested in seeing microsofts conference. I feel like this may be their year and they will step it up big time with games like Halo infinite and gears 5. Ive played all the games in those series beforehand, so my body is ready!!
I’m most excited about Fire Emblem: Three Houses, for the Nintendo Switch by Nintendo. I have always been a fan of the FE series, and I am glad they kept most of the existing mechanics while improving the graphics for modern consoles. Can’t wait to play this, hoping to get my hands on this before jumping on a plane for the next planned trip. =]
Looking forward to whatever Microsoft and Nintendo will be announcing. As far as Microsoft the next Xbox and XCloud are most interesting. As for Nintendo, really just any news has me excited…can’t wait for E3 2019!
I cannot wait for any news about the final fantasy 7 remake by square Enix, I played the original for the Sony PlayStation over 20 years ago and I’m so excited to see how modern day development will handle the re imagining.
Can’t wait for any Zelda announcement. And maybe a new Assassin’s Creed game 🙂
