  1. !I was literally addicted to Division 1, I got an email from BestBuy about the new games coming out. I was so excited to hear Division 2 was coming out. I d recommend Division 2 to any player out there.

  2. I was happy to hear announcement about ps5, if only because that means the price of ps4 will go down soon and I might be able to afford one!

  3. Jedi: Fallen order for sure. Star Wars is one of my favourite things and we haven’t had a really good Star Wars game in a long time, hopefully EA will get it right this time. Can’t wait to play it on my PS4.

  4. E3 Biggest Gaming Announcement (to me)
    Square Enix – FFXIV Shadowbringers
    This game has always captured my heart with deep story, powerful music, amazing players, and one exceptional Director Naioki Yoshida (Yoshi-P) on the FFXIV Franchise. The latest news was mostly teaser, talks, updates, new missions, classes, stories to captivate the hearts of Adventurers all over the globe. This expansion is the tipping point between dark and light in the MMORPG, By harnessing darkness as the previously Warrior of Light to help prevent a another Calamity from befalling the world you take on the power of darkness to reverse the light and create balance between them both to save everyone. New Classes like Dancer and Gunbreaker to help turn the tides of battle to protect those around you. Old characters making a reappearance with new jobs they have taken on to help fight by your side. As one of the most popular Subscription MMORPG’s we all look forward to more announcements as they talk about the new Trials for Titania and Innocence, as well as hopefully talking about YoRHa : Dark Apocalypse Raid made by the director of NieR. So many things to look forward to, i cant wait to see how this E3 kicks off.

  5. I’m excited for all Nintendo titles!! I haven’t picked up a Nintendo switch for myself yet so I’m excited to see which new games I could get with it 🙂

  6. Avengers game from Square Enix and Eidos sounds like it could be fun. Thanks for this opportunity.

  7. Earlier this year I was so excited for Dead or Alive 6 and Kingdom Hearts 3. Now I’m excited for Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Super Mario Maker 2! It’d Be great to get the PS4 bundle so I can get Kingdom Hearts 3 and FINALLY play it!

  8. I am a fan of Nintendo. Always following any games produced by them. I am excited to know more about the new coming Zelda link’s awakening on Switch. I already have it on switch but i am so excited to know the differences between both games. I think it will be a great game to play on the side. I also want to know more about the futur Metroid but ill have to wait!!!

  9. Borderlands 3 by gearbox software I’ve played every game in this series and is by far the best co op game with friends my friends and I are pumped

  10. I am most excited for the new Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare on Xbox by Activison. This is a big leap for the the next generation of gaming as it will be cross platform gaming. I have been playing Call of Duty for a very long time.

  11. Jedi fallen order for PS4. Hopefully EA/Respawn get this Star Wars right. Battlefront 1 & 2 were a little disappointing for me

  12. I am the most excited for the new Pokémon games, Pokémon Shield and Pokemon Sword by Nintendo. They’ve always put excellent games and this series is apart of my child hood. I just need to save up for a switch. (Yes I buy consoles just for the Pokémon games)

  13. I’m so excited for the new Pokémon game and animal crossing from Nintendo for switch!!! I’m going to preorder both because I am a long time fan of the series.

  14. The gaming announcement I am most excited about is the project Stadia by Google. The reason why is because it has the potential to revolutionize the gaming world the way smartphones did when the came out. If it proves to be successful then anyone can play games from any screen without a console or a pc and that is the most exciting news for many people because of how new and different from what we’ve seen it is. I look forward to new announcements being made soon about Stadia.

  15. Always excited to see anything from Nintendo and what the future holds for VR on any platform!

  16. Watch Dogs 3 by Ubisoft
    I enjoyed the first and second Watch Dogs games. I loved the revenge and conspiracy type of story of the first Watch Dogs and the funny and party like feeling of the second Watch Dogs. I am excited where Ubisoft will take Watch Dogs 3

  17. I can’t wait for the reveal of Pokémon sword and shield by Nintendo. I love the Pokémon franchise and am excited for all the new changes and additions they’ve made to this new instalment. Plus seeing the new Pokémon will be amazing.

  18. I’m looking forward to more info on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen order. The initial video looked amazing and having played Battlefront on XBox I’m interested to see how it looks and plays. I’ve enjoyed EA games on XBox and this one should yet another I’d play repeatedly.

  19. Halo Infinite from Xbox is at the top of my list, Halo has been such a huge part of my life.

  20. My most exciting gaming announcement of the year so far is probably either Marvel’s Iron Man VR on PlayStation VR, or the Square Enix announcement of the Marvel’s Avengers game.

    For Iron Man VR, I’ve wanted to be able to fly in an Iron Man suit ever since I first saw the movie back in 2008. Finally getting the chance to do that will be a life changing experience, especially if it’s as good as I’ve heard from early impressions.

    For Marvel’s Avengers from Square Enix, I’m just excited to finally get more info about the game. So far we just know it’s some kind of online co-op experience, and I can’t wait to play through it with my friends. I think we’re in for a treat, since Marvel’s Spider-Man made it clear that Marvel is interested in making phenomenal games right now.

    Thanks for doing the contest. I’d honestly be thrilled about winning any of these prizes! (Except maybe the PC one as I don’t have a gaming PC)

  21. I can’t wait for the Pokémon sword and shield games by Nintendo. I love the Pokémon series and am excited for all the new changes and additions they will make for this new instalment. Seeing what new Pokémon they add will be amazing.

  22. While not a specific item, I am excited for the Microsoft event. 14 first party games to show off and likely more information on the formal implementation of Xbox Game Pass on PC definitely had my attention.

  23. I’m most excited to hear more information about Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Switch, as well as any new information about the new Pokemon RPG. If they also reveal that they’d be releasing Kingdom Hearts 3 for the Switch I would probably die from excitement!

  24. I’m looking forward ti the PC Gamer Show at E3. Looks like it may be the only presentation that might hold some surprises. Always good to hear that smaller indie studio’s are putting out ground breaking games. Reminds me of what EA and Bethesda used to be like in the good old days of gaming.

  25. I’m most excited for Death Stranding by Kojima Productions.

    I’ve been a Kojima fan all my life (From Snatcher to P.T.) and his new game looks like a bizarro arthouse experience – one I don’t think I’m ready for!

  26. The New Upcoming Assassins Creed, ive loved the series thus far and cannot wait for the next one, the amount of historical work that goes into the series is amazing and educating,

  27. The gaming announcement that has me the most excited in 2019 is definitely the Marvel’s Avengers game by Square Enix, because I’m a huge fan of Marvel and the MCU. Also, I’m really curious to see what kind of game it’s going to be!

  28. I’m super excited about the Final Fantasy VII Remake! I love Final Fantasy and I can’t wait!

  29. I’m most excited for an announcement when dying light 2 will be coming out out.Even a new console announcement

  30. Without question, any new news on CYBERPUNK 2077 will be a huge bonus. I really hope that CD Project Red can have this one will be out before the holidays this year! Any company that puts as much time into their product, and actually values their customer the way they do will get my money every time.

  31. I’m so hyped for anything Nintendo. I’d love to see how development came along for the game, ‘’Daemon X Machina’’ (Nintendo Switch). I also cannot wait to see what the next DLC fighter pack is for “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate” (Nintendo Switch). I wonder if Nintendo will ever show game footage of Metroid Prime 4 and Animal Crossing on the Switch. I also hope the rumour for the Witcher 3 on Switch is true, I’d love to take a game like that on the go. As a huge fan of the Zelda series, I want the HD games of The Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. More gameplay of Link’s Awakening Remake would be a lovely bonus. Definitely Pokémon Sword and Shield. Moreover, I’d love to see what Monolithsoft (creators of the Xenoblade series) has in store for us. Xenoblade Chronicles X port for the Switch would just make my year. It’s amazing how Monolithsoft helped with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild development and it would be amazing to see more of their world design come to fruition with the next possible big budget Zelda game.

    In other words, I’m one greedy gamer and doubt I’ll be disappointed this E3 for Nintendo. I’ve also heard there’s going to be a partnership between Microsoft and Nintendo so that is very exciting. Especially since Cuphead is now on Switch, hoping to see Ori and The Blind Forest or Halo on the Switch.

    I also cannot wait for the Final Fantasy 7 Remake for the PS4. Hopefully it doesn’t take 10 years like Final Fantasy 15. It’s a shame Sony will not be present for any E3 Conference Showcase.

  32. I cannot wait to see details about gameplay, release date, and coop play for Halo 6 from Microsoft. Hopefully they will use this game as the premiere launch title for their next game console. I’ve been a huge Halo fan since the beginning and cannot wait to see where they take the franchise. All the glory and spectacle of the Halo Universe on a suped up next gen console would melt my brain

  33. I’m really exited about the Microsoft conference and the announcement of their next gen console. I’m also interested in seeing what new games they will be releasing and Xbox game pass for PC. I’ve been a gamer my whole life so I’m really looking forward to it!

  34. I am most excited for news about the Cyberpunk 2077 game. I played the witcher 3, which was made by the same company and found the world rich and very detail-oriented. I believe this game will be the next hit of the generation!
    CD Projekt Red made the announcement for a reveal during E3 2019. This is important to me because the company keeps having a pro-gamers approach. No cosmetic DLC in a single player game, and that the game will ship when it is READY. Not a greedy company and if the game is a major success, other companies may want to adopt that approach. Not rushing and not doing everything for the investors. Think about the people actually purchasing the products !
    Plus, during the last year, a 45 minute gameplay preview was released and the game looks phenomenal.
    Finally, they are adding a gameplay mechanic that is NO GAME OVER. Even if you fail a mission, you do not get to restart, you have to continue the game with the consequences of each action. First ever concept and really looking forward to try this out.

    That is all

  35. Looking forward to sooo much releases this year. If I had to pick one though it would be Fire Emblem:Three Houses, for the Nintendo Switch of course. Being young and from a small town chess was the only thing close to a tactical RPG lol. So you could imagine the surprise and joy when I finally found one. And it was an old Fire Emblem game.

  36. If it happens, I am most excited for an Xcom related announcement. Otherwise so far, I am not terribly excited for anything thus far… Will have to waot and see!

  37. Pokémon sword & shield (Nintendo switch)
    My fiancé and I have always loved Pokémon since we were in school. We even got back into it by playing & collecting Pokémon playing cards. It’s brought back a childhood warmth to our relationship. It would be so much fun to play the new Pokémon game for switch with my fiancé!

  38. Cyberpunk 2077 by CD projekt red has been my most anticipated release for years on end. With the news that it will be out this year, I am more than excited for its arrival. Not only is it supported by an up-and-coming developer who have proven their passion and dedication to the consumer, the base content of the game material is something I desire.

  39. I’m really excited to see what Challenger Pack #2 in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. With Joker, the first DLC fighter, Nintendo was able to prove that Smash Bros isn’t just their own characters and that characters from third party games are more than welcome to join the battle. I really loved Joker’s inclusion in the game because I loved Persona 5 and am very excited to see who will be joining the fight next.

  40. 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.
