I am most excited for the avengers game from square Enix and Eidos aswell as star wars jedi: the fallen order because these have been my favourite franchises growing up and cant wait to experience more, i am also really excited for the release of call of duty modern warfare, i cant wait to see how this call of duty experience will be and how many memories it could bring back.
I’m most excited for the PS4 and many games. As I had recent house fire on March 9 that took all my pets and stuff and my car. I have always been a gamer and lost my various PlayStation systems, Nintendo systems, 2 Xbox one systems, portable game systems and loads of games. Now I gotta try and get back what I had and many titles are getting harder to find without paying hundreds of dollars above normal
Retail value.
TOTAL WAR: THREE KINGDOMS!!!
EA!! Apex, Battlefield & of course, STAR WARS JEDI!!
Most excited for NHL 20 but tha will likely come at the NHL Awards after E3 …
Star Wars Jedi has me most excited, but I’m hoping for some cool news on Battlefield. Battlefield 3 & 4 were probably my all-time favourite games as far as experience goes, the sound & atmosphere was unmatched at the time IMO.
EA maybe finding their way back into my heart this year as a favourite 🙂
HAPPY E3 EVERYONE! & good luck on the Best Buy contest!
I’m really interested and excited to see more information about the stadia console announced by Google. Im excited to hear more about it because other companies have expiremented with the concept of streaming video games before but it hasn’t worked out well. I wonder what Google is doing that makes it so confident in its product based on a concept that has failed before when attempted by other companies. It’s something that’s important to me because experimentation and risk like Google is taking, in my opinion, is what paves the path of the future of gaming. Maybe one day we’ll have a Netflix for video games. I’m very interested to see how well the stadia console will work when in the hands of consumers.
Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order! There hasn’t been a decent game in a couple of years since Disney canceled some promising titles.
Looking forward to any additional information on the upcoming Halo. Guardians was such a blast, but, as always, the passing of time has left me wanting more Master Chief!
I’m very excited for possibly an announcement for Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Switch from Nintendo!
I’ve always played and loved the Animal Crossing titles starting with the one for the GameCube. I spent my childhood spending hours into the game collecting insects, fish, furniture, and paying off my debt with Tom Nook. The love for this game carried out throughout the years where I enjoyed doing the same things on top of being mayor of my town in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and being an interior designer in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer for the Nintendo 3DS.
That is why I’m most excited for Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Switch from Nintendo. I can’t wait to see what new features are in store and how multiplayer with Nintendo Online will be, as well as finally seeing my favourite villagers in HD.
I’m most excited for The Avengers game made by square Enix and Eidos! The LEGO marvel games are alright.. but it looks like this game will make the LEGO games snap out of existence!
Death Stranding by Sony: Kojima always find a way to create something new and with the new trailer that dropped we’re even more lost. No idea what’s happening and how. New universe, new serie new start with good faces. Looks like it’s going to be an all new experience on it’s own ! Really exited !
No Sony conference is kinda a bummer, But I’m probably most excited for the Bethesda conference. If there’s any more info on Elder Scrolls VI I will freak out. Also really want to hear more about the future of Fallout 76 I’m sure they will try to clean up the perception of how it’s been received. Bethesda has always been my go to favorite studio so I’m hoping this years E3 they will be able to give fanboys like me hope for the future!
I’m really pumped for Borderlands 3!!!
Jedi Fallen Order would be awesome to see. Like the trailer looks awesome but I am hoping the story in it will be as well done as KOTOR.
I was so excited to here about kingdom hearts 3 was coming out at the beginning of 2019 and that square Enix show a preview of it last year. I love the kingdom hearts games I have all of the kingdom hearts games and I have been playing the kingdom hearts games ever since the 1st one came out and I will definitely get and play the 3rd one. I love how the game has Disney characters and final fantasy characters together in a games series it is so much fun I played it for hours and hours it is the best series ever.
I’m excited for more Smash Bros content from Nintendo, really hoping they reveal the next DLC character or two. Joker was great and can’t wait to see what they give us next. Additionally, looking forward to more information about games like Animal Crossing for Switch and Pokemon Sword and Shield.
More Death Stranding footage is what I am excited for! It’s unlike any other game so far. Kojima Productions announced it and it’s Kojima without Konami holding him on a leash.
2019 meant that Kingdom Hearts III came out, which I’ve been waiting for for years! A great game and worth the wait.
Playstation please!!
I’m really looking forward to any new info on the next gen consoles. Xbox or Playstation. I want hardware specs, price maybe a release date!
Jedi: Fallen Order. Looking for EA to finally make good on the Star Wars franchise. Disney did a fantastic job of recapturing the cinematic magic of the original trilogy but we haven’t had a great Star Wars game since KOTOR, in my opinion. It’s time. Zampella and crew can make this happen. Please?
The new PS4 VR golf has me hyped! Looks awesome, and I’m an Xbox guy, so about $1000 if I want to get into it. Love the idea of playing the links on the drab days that I’m unable to get out onto the course…
The 2019 gaming announcement I am most excited for is the Avengers game from Square Enix and Eidos. The annocuement was made by Square Enix and I am most excited for it because it is a game based on the Avengers, which is my favourite!
I’m super super excited for Bethesda to announce ANYTHING related to the next Elder Scrolls. Skyrim was and still remains my favourite game of all time and I’ve got super high expectations for the new one. I’m also hoping they give us something on the next generation of Xbox. Performance will be wild!
I can’t wait for the pokemon announcements by Nintendo and the pokemon company. I really want to see what they do with pokemon sword and shield and get an idea of the legendaries.
Definitely looking forward to the new Gears of war game. Really excited to see what the Coalition can do with the series after having experience now. Plus with Microsoft’s backing it will be a nice triple A title that will hopefully capture the old feel of gears 1 or 2.
Also no clue if it will happen but would love to see something about diablo 4 at E3 from blizzard but I am sure they will save that for blizzcon
I’d be most excited if CD Projekt Red announces the release date for Cyberpunk 2077 on PC. If not, I’d be most excited for the next Assassin’s Creed PC game by Ubisoft. Those are my most anticipated games.
Death stranding! With the talent they have and the effort they’re putting in this game will be a masterpiece
It’s been a long time, and I have been patiently waiting since they first teased a tech demo of Final Fantasy 7, then they finally announced a remake and then no details came after. And now we’re hearing there will be a big reveal at e3. I’m ecstatic to find out more about a remake of one of the best jRPGs to ever release. This is really important to me because for the last few years there has been a lack of quality jRPG games and this remake is looking to set the bar all over again.
On top of that the 14 exclusive games releasing on Xbox one is interesting, I’ve yet to buy one because there hasn’t been anything on Xbox that pulled me enough to buy a console, but I’m interested.
The Outer Worlds, announced by Obsidian. These beauties brought us Fallout games with solid content before Bethesda decided to take the franchise in their own direction. I for one, am most excited for Space Fallout, aka The Outer Worlds.
I can’t wait for The Final Fantasy VII Remake always loved the Final Fantasy games.
I am most excited about Death Stranding from Kojima ! I like how realistic the characters look, such as Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen. Being that it is a game created by Hideo Kojima who made Silent hill, my favourite games ever!!!
I’m really excited for the new Star Wars: Fallen Order game. I’ve already been a huge fan of the Star Wars universe and am waiting for a game that that’s similar to The Force Unleashed for the fighting style and narrative. I’m also really excited about the Avengers Game and am looking to see how the gameplay works And how it plays out. I’m very excited to see all the other announcements and new games coming out! ❤️
Super exicted for Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Switch, Hopefully at e3 we’ll either get news or a release date . I used to play Animal Crossing for the Gamecube almost daily. It’s easily one of the top games I can always boot up and just chill too
I am most looking forward to Luigi Mansion 3 I have played the series since I was a child and I even replay it. Nintendo made the announcement at E3 and it continues to being me joy every time I play it.
The fact that Cyberpunk 2077 will be at E3 this year. I loved when we got the trailer and gameplay reveal that attendees got but the fact that it will be open to everyone this year and hopefully a release date announcement gets me jacked. I have been waiting so long for this game to come out. I need it in my life.
The last of us 2 – by naughty dog . Ever since I played the first one my life have never remained the same, the environment, the art style, the live and passion in the characters, honestly I can’t wait for the second one
I’m most eager about the Final Fantasy VII Remake. I’ve always loved Final Fantasy and the graphics will take me to another world.
Modern Warfare and Halo infinite are gonna take this E3 by storm. Been too long since halo and COD have been highly anticipated like the golden years.
Square Enix’s Avengers hands down! After Spider-Man in 2018 on the PS4 this one will be sure to not disappoint! And this developer has consistently produced some of the top games on home consoles!
A new Fable announcement from Microsoft! I’ve always been a huge fan of the original trilogy. I’ve put hundreds of hours into all 3 of the games, and can’t wait to find out if we’re going to get a new one I can sink more hours into.
Rumours are that it’s supposed to be a reboot but I’d be okay with a Fable 4 as well!
Nintendo – Mario Maker 2! Excited to collaborate on making crazy levels with my nephews – they’re huge Mario fans!
Luigi’s Mansion 3 (Working Title) game Has me most excited for E3, I have played every single game multiple times and its probably my favorite game Nintendo has every produced. Nintendo made the announcement during E3 And I have been excited every since.
I would love to see a date announcement for Sony’s last of us 2. I loved the first game and can’t wait to get my hands on the second.
Jedi Fallen Order and hopefully more on Halo Infinite
I’m hoping for a Nintendo Switch Pro or something akin to that. Being the year before I expect to see a “next gen” console announcements I’m curious if there will be something to really surprise me this year.
The gaming announcement that has me most excited is the (hopefully) Halo 6 E3 trailer that I have been waiting years for! I simply cannot wait!
I exited to hear more about:
1. Possibly watch dogs 3 from Ubisoft!
2. The Avengers game from square Enix and Eidos!!
I love watch dogs and I’m looking forward to a sequel with even more crazy stuff packed into the game and I’ve wanted an Avengers game that could mimic the MCU in game form for the longest time!
The final fantasy VII by square Enix for ps4. It was the game that got me addicted in the first place.
I am most interested in the Halo: Master Chief Collection coming to PC as it starts with the legendary prequel, Halo: Reach, and begins the official launch of Halo on Windows. Xbox and 343 Industries announced the Halo: MCC video game coming to Windows earlier this year and it was an important and very exciting announcement as Halo Reach is one of my favourite Halo games in the series, as i played it immensely as a kid and to see it come to PC now as an adult is really a huge surprise to everyone but it fuels the hype train for me and i can’t wait to play it later this year.
Most excited about Dying Light 2.
