Yo Gooch are we going to do Sony predictions for E3?

lets do this! (we did it before, but lets do it again!).

It'll give us something to do and it'll be interesting. All we'll have to do is set some guildlines and we're good.

Hey guys can I join this thread? Been a longtime user of the site and an even older PS fan.
If I can, I'll start by making my E3 prediction.

ok how about this, we make a point system. for every prediction you get three catagories, what game will be shown, how it will be shown and release window.

for example. ND show Uncharted, trailer with in gameplay shots, Fall 2015

another. GG new IP,  in engine trailer, 2015.

Rules. with every guess you have 3 catagories, game, content and release date.

when stating the game. say the developer and the game, if its a new IP say new IP. if its a sequal just say the franchise.

Catagories:

1) Game: when stating the game. say the developer and the game, if its a new IP say new IP. if its a sequal just say the franchise.

2) content: say what of the game will be shown, for example, a teaser like the uncharted teaser? a CGI trailer like the Mortal Combat X trailer, an in engine trailer like the order trailer, or a gameplay trailer like the uncharted 3 launch trailer, or onstage/gameplay video like TLoU gameplay at E3 2012. of course, these are just examples, you could state any way a game is gonna be revealed. not just the ones i mentioned.

3) release date: state the date that sony says the game will be. if they say just "2015" then to get it right you just need to say 2015. if you say fall 2015, and sony doesnt say so, your wrong. you have to predict what sony will tell us and announce, if you add more info by adding a specific date, and sony doesnt say so, your wrong. is this point clear?

Points:  for every catagory you predict right, you get one point. example

The Order 1886, gameplay video , March 2015.  Sony shows the order, gameplay video and feb 2015. i get two points from the three possible.

however, if i guess a game wrong, then i get one point taken away from me. so we use this so people dont spam with every possible game that might be shown. getting content or date wrong i wont get any points removed, but of course, that will leave the door open for people to get more point than me.

any games releasing this year must have the month predicted, not the window. 

at the end of the show everybody gathers their own points, quotes their own post, and we calculate our own score. the winner gets to chose the next poll, and gets to be in the thread tittle as the winner of E3 predictions and everybody who participates must say he was the winner in their sig for 2 months, well, a bit more, right until the gamescom confrence! then we will do another one. 

so tell me what you think, you and anybody else, any rules that need to be adjusted? any new ideas? 

Only if you sacrifice your soul to the Sony gods. 

I like everything, especially the rewards, but I want ask something. What if someone predicts say Uncharted 2015, but Sony says Fall 2015; do they get no points since Sony gave us more information than the vague prediction?

Also we should have only 5 predictions max so everyone has an even chance and 1 random prediction that doesn't follow the guildlines and is only worth one point: i.e. PS Vita will be only give <10 min or PS3 will get a price drop. So 6 predictions total with 5 following the guildlines and 1 random.

welcome to the thread! looks like we are making a game for predictions, right my post above and wait and see until we figure out the game. 

they dont get the point.  this is E3 predictions, so we gotta predict what will be said at E3! also, then saying fall 2015 will be redundant when you can just say the year and get the score right. if your just gonna say the year, to get a point sony must just say a year as well. if they say early 2015, you must say early 2015 as well. 

i dont think we should limit to 5 predictions, that way everybody will go with the safe bets, lets have some wild "megaton" predictions in there, i know i will!
