Forums - Gaming - E3 Predictions

E3 is only a month away. Here are some of my “predictions” for the big three.

 

SONY-

Pretty much set in stone-

Jack Trenton hosts entire briefing

Stats showing strength of sales from end of last year

On stage demo of LBP2 with its new features demoed

GT5 actually gets release date and is playable in near final form on show floor

Announcement and video of Killzone 3, Infamous 2, Resistance 3

Release date for Final Guardian with new video

Strategy for move made more clear with first party launch titles, expanded list of games which support move, pricing (at $50-$59 US), and third party support (possible montage of developers talking about how cool it is they can sell their Wii games to PS3 owners now)

3D support for this and that

1 or 2 new IP’s

Agent is shown with Rockstar discussing PS3 superiority

 

50/50

Jaff’s game details slip during a drunken ranting interview

PSP software emulation is announced for PS3 (play same download on PS3 or your PSP)

Move ports of Wii games are announced and shown off by third parties

 

Show Stoppers-

PSP2 with details, actual game footage, etc

Kevin butler comes on stage, announces he is the head of kick ass exclusives, video real of new exclusive IP is shown, and does comedy bit

New kick ass hardcore move title shown

Gear or exclusive from Epic Games announced

 

Potential failures-

Same move stuff is shown with no killer ap.

Move priced at $99

No Kevin Butler

Jaff get’s drunk and talks about how his new game is or isn’t twisted metal but says nothing

No release date for GT5

Giant Enemy Crab is served at a Sony Party

 

MICROSOFT-

Pretty much set in stone-

Gears 3 on stage demo and video

Halo Reach on stage demo and video

Fable 3 on stage demo and video

Strategy for Natal made more clear with first party launch titles, pricing (at $50-$59 US), and third party support (possible montage of games and devs)

Timed exclusive or two announced as exclusive

 

50/50

Rare shows something cool (Conkers or Jet Force Gemini sequels)

Rare shows something lame (Perfect Dark 2 or interactive natal enabled avatar dress up store and fashion design studio 5.0)

 

Show stoppers-

Slim 360 with Natal

Price drop

Microsoft portable announced

New kick ass hardcore natal game shown or successful natal integration into major first person franchise (anything other than a mini game)

Metal Gear Raiden Game announced as timed exclusive

Exclusive hardcore third party natal game announced

Insomniac cross plat. game shown

 

Potential failures-

Same Natal stuff is show with no killer ap.

Velocity girl shows up with staged actors and pretends to have fun with natal

Microsoft execs blab on like arrogant assholes on stage and in interviews and quote American sales numbers only

Turn 10 shows up just too bad mouth competition- this time without a product

Denis Dydak comes out dressed like the phantom of the opera during Gears 3 demo, curses Epic for the failure of Too Human and vows to get revenge with Too Human 2

 

Nintendo

Pretty much set in stone-

Zelda is shown in video form and fanboys break into wild Zelda induced orgy of crying and love making

3DS is shown in person by Saturo Iwata, video only presentation of games

Pikmin 3 is shown in video form

Reggie gives paint by numbers discussion of Wii success, evergreen titles, then proceeds to takes interviews from everyone on the show floor and says exactly nothing of any substance like a well oiled politician

Cammie Dunnaway presents stuff no one want’s to hear about etc., someone throws something at her finally

 

50/50

Luigi’s mansion 2 is announced

Starfox is announced

Pilotwings is announced

 

Show stoppers

Zelda is shown in video form- Miyamoto comes out in full drag as Zelda, has playable demo on show floor with 5 hour long lines

Actual 3DS is playable on show floor

Heart monitor thing shown with cool horror game or something

 

Potential failures

Cammie Dunnaway presents stuff no one wants to hear about and no one throws anything at her still

Wii music 2 is announced followed by a full sequel to the on stage jackassery of Wii music’s announcement

Heart monitor thing is shown with some hospice care yoga breathing stress relief simulator or something

Did I mention Cammie Dunnaway



Around the Network

mehh sounds about right



Cammie duneway isn't that bad she just try's to hard lol




3DS will probably be on the show floor it is coming out this year after all (at least in japan) definitely more likely than Announcement and video of Killzone 3, Infamous 2 and Resistance 3. I expect some third party Wii stuff, Golden Sun DS and Pokemon B & W etc stuff. Dragon quest X info may be shown as well.

Sony sounds about right but I expect some FFXIII versus

I expect Microsoft to have something really big to show that is not currently known.



@TheVoxelman on twitter

Check out my hype threads: Cyberpunk, and The Witcher 3!

NATAL, PS Move & 3DS will be the major focus of the big 3 respectively. It will be more about games for those than games for current consoles.

remember cammie dunaway was the one who presented nsmbwii and galaxy 2 in e3 2009

also I think Iwata will talk numbers and reggie 3ds



I'm sorry, I'm going to put 'Kevin Butler producing anything remotely close to comedy" in the "never going to happen section"
