Im most excited to hear about some new PlayStation exclusives. Sony always knocks it out of the park for me. Oh and definitely the new. My partner and I enjoy playing those epic story games like last of us together, Aka I play and she watches the amazing cinematography and plot! Game companies need so much more credit for the incredible work they and their artists do for us gamers:
I’m so excited to see what Xbox has to say about the the Xbox coming out
i’m excited for details and release dates on Halo 6 / Halo Infinite on Xbox. I have been a long time Halo fan since Halo 1 and I’m interested in finding out where the story goes next. I can not wait to play as Master Chief again!
Thank you!
Beyond excited to get a better look at the final fantasy 7 remake this year at E3. Big fan of Square Enix and their storytelling in their video games and with FF7 having one of the more impactful storylines and just lovable characters, I cannot WAIT to experience this game again in unreal engine 4 graphics!
Super excited about the New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe (Switch) – Jan 11. Come on who doesn’t love Mario
This is more speculation, but I am excited about the rumors surrounding the Nintendo Switch and an updated console being released or possibly one that is just a handheld.
I’m most looking forward to the Gearbox announcement of Borderlands 3. I love playing the story mode with friends. I can’t wait to start Shootin’ and lootin’!!
Excited to see what The Coalition has to offer for Gears 5. Been on of my favourite series since I was a kid, happy to support a Canadian company and a BEAST of a game!
I’ve been saving up for a switch but still haven’t gotten close to it cuz..Student Life ..is love to win that Nintendo Prize pack #2..Pleaseeeeee!!!
But for E3 I’m excited for what Rockstar has to say maybe a new GTA game, Fingers Crossed
I am super excited for Call of Duty Modern Warfare announced by Infinity Ward. While I still enjoy the new Call of Duty games for years I have been patiently waiting for Call of Duty to truly go back to its roots and I believe that a soft reboot of the Modern Warfare universe is just what Call of Duty needs to be great again.
The legend of Zelda links awakening, hope to get more info on that. Same with more Nintendo games
Really looking forward to the new Star Wars action adventure based game by Respawn entertainment! (The same studio that did Apex legends). It’s called Star Wars Jedi: Fallen order on the Xbox one I’m not sure if it will also drop for Play station. It’s said to have a really good focus on character development and a fantastic narrative which will be different from things like the battlefront series which had more of an online players focus! I grew up watching Star Wars and can’t wait to be able to experience its story from inside through a game! It doesn’t come out till November, specifically the 15th but I’m still excited!
I am really looking forward to seeing square enix’s Avengers game because it sounds like a great concept. I really loved superheroes as a kid and still do .
Super Mario Maker 2 is an upcoming side-scrolling platform game and game creation system developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. I am most excited for this game because we are hoping to get a switch soon and this game looks awesome!
Looking forward to seeing what Nintendo has to offer at E3
The new call of duty modern warfare announced by activision looks kinda sick. Never been a really big fan of cod games so I don’t know much about the storylines but seems that this one will be pretty easy to get into. The graphics look amazing and the gameplay seems like it will leave many memories. Just give me the PS4 with the division 2 now please
Our house is pretty excited for modern warfare and for new switch games. First got my switch on January and keeping an eye out for new interesting games.
Can’t wait to see what Nintendo has to offer this year at E3. Probably most hyped for Mario Maker and Link’s Awakening
Looking forward to all the Nintendo releases…more gaming time for everyone in the family
There is so many! From Pokemon Sword and Shield for the Nintendo Switch by Game Freak to Square Enix’s Avengers! I’m really excited for this year. I’m really curious on what kind of gameplay the Avengers project will pursue.
Our house is pretty excited for modern warfare and for new switch games
Still really hoping to hear about Persona 5 coming to the switch cmon Nintendo and Atlus!!
I’m looking forward to hearing about Animal Crossing coming to the Nintendo Switch. I absolutely love their games and I find this one really relaxing to play. I have been waiting so long to hear more about the new Animal Crossing and it’s official release date.
I was most excited about the Xbox One X because it said that it’s one of the best console that have ever existed and I needed it because I have the old Xbox and wanted to upgrade to a better one because my Xbox is lagging way too much and it stops working almost everytime when I play games with it.
I am most excited about Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order from EA. I have been Star Wars fan since before I could handle the controller of any gaming system so any Star Wars game gets me excited! I’ve been playing on XBox for years and will have to upgrade from the S to the X for this game so a win here for the XBox bundle would he awesome!
Most excited for gears of war 5 for Xbox, been playing gears since it first came out
I’m very excited for Marvel’s Avengers announced by Square Enix. It will be a big project and hoping it will keep up with the high standards of the movie series!
I’m so excited for the upcoming Sony Play Station 5 and it’s backwards compatibility.
The announcement I’m most excited about is Square Enix announcing details about the marvel avengers game and excited to see more at e3! I love everything marvel so to finally get an avengers game is going to be a dream come true for me.
Call of duty modern warfare from Activision, was the first game I really got into when I was younger, looking forward to the reboot.
I’m excited to see a game called Mirador for the pc to come out. It’s a fun little boss battle rpg game that looks super good and it’s being made by a pretty small company called sauropod studios and I really love their company.
I’m excited about pokemon sword and shield!! Ivr been a huge Nintendo fan since I was very young! I always look forward to announcements 😀
Looking forward to the xbox games.
I’m hearing rumours the next COD is modern warfare 4! Definitely excited as the modern warfare series was my absolute favourite in my teenage years!
I would say I’m most excited for Nintendo’s announcements. I remember getting my first video game console ever which was an N64 and I can’t even describe how much it meant to me! Second console I got was an Xbox I opened up on Christmas Day when I was 11.
Looking forward to the halo infinite announcement!
I want to hear more about the Sony Play Station 5, so excited for the backwards compatibility!
My two teenage sons have been eyeing a PS4. They think that that console will be making big advances in the next year in tech and the games…. they would love to win this prize pkg
Activision
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
I am ONLY extremely excited for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Activision announced that Modern Warfare would be the next new COD game and it sent shivers down my spine!
When I was a young teenager my family couldn’t afford a nice video game system, so I could only game at my friends houses. I played a little bit here and there whenever I could but my parents would always have to hear about how much I loved COD Modern Warfare. Finally one Christmas thaw day came when I got an Xbox 360 with COD Modern Warfare! Nothing else mattered. Spending hours on end playing this game was my life. Then the release of MW2 came and it happened all over again. The MW series is a big part of my life, and as a married man now with my own family, I don’t get to game as much as I’d like to anymore, so I only play one game, that game is COD MW Remastered. I can’t wait to see Captain price back in action and experience this new series. I really hope I Can win the Xbox package to fully experience the game. Thanks :).
Definitely so pumped for Pokemon Sword and Shield! The nintendo switch is the perfect console for a pokemon game~
Been playing pokemon since Gen 1 and have been having a blast with Let’s Go since it was released. Can’t wait for nintendo to get us all some info this E3~
I’m so excited for Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, for Nintendo Switch.
And also any of the previously released games, I haven’t had a new game console since the original wii was released. (And then it was stolen a year later on New Year’s Day!).
My family used to play Crash Team Racing on the PlayStation 1, and Mario Party 2 on my cousins N64, (not to forget the original Marios!) and now that everyone has moved away, it would be so nostalgic to play Nintendo again.
I can’t wait for the updated Nintendo Switch model by Nintendo! Nintendo games have been in my life since the Game Boy Advance spending most of my time playing Pokemon Gold and Blue and then Smash bros Melee on the Gamecube is my favorite game of all time. The sad thing is that i havent had the chance to get myself a Switch yet, getting a Switch means that i’ll be able to play some of my favorite games (smash, pokemon, zelda, etc.).
Ps4, always been a fan of playstation, since im 8
looking forward to xbox games of all kinds for my grandson and grand daughter
I am BEYOND EXCITED for Final Fantasy VII Remake announced by Square Enix for PS4. BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!! I loved playing this game as a child and I still play the original today the fact that they are remaking is amazing! It will be AMAZING
Excited to hear about the avengers game
kinda excited for a new darksiders from vigil to come out!!
I’m most excited about the Final Fantasy 7 Remake that will come out! Anything PlayStation is a big hit for me, but also looking forward to what Xbox will come out with. Hope to get an Xbox One in the future so I can start to enjoy those awesome titles from that system!
i am stoked to see the new avengers game by crystal dynamics/square enix, as well as the new halo by 343 both have not been anounced by a single person yet but halo has always been my go too xbox game for the 3 generations, and the avengers game is important because of my love of all marvel games and movies and shows.
There are a lot of really cool announcements, like the rumours of Microsoft unveiling a next generation console, but the one I’m most excited about is Bethesda promising a showcase featuring id Software’s DOOM Eternal. The reason I’m most excited about this, is that I grew up playing the original DOOM and, from what little I have seen in the teaser trailers and read about in E3 previews, I can’t wait to see what the latest chapter brings. I enjoyed DOOM 3’s survival horror take, but it wasn’t quite DOOM. I was glad to see they returned to the series’ origins with the last game; although the multiplayer left a lot to be desired. Now they have a chance to build upon what they’ve started with the reboot, and I think this will be the best DOOM to date!
