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? 

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.


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! 

Alright that makes much more sense. You have to predict exactly what they, sounds good. 

The main reason I said a limit is because then people that make the most predictions will probably have the best chance of winning. A limit at least gives everyone a fair chance. And you've set some pretty good rules in how to get points that there isn't really any safe bet. How it is shown is going to be hard to predict.

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.


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. 

Thank You! My predictions are like this:

  1. Guerilla Games WRPG, gameplay trailer with mind-blowing graphics, 2015
  2. The Order: 1886, more gameplay footage and explanation about some of its main features, early 2015
  3. Driveclub, more gameplay footage, another delay (just kidding)
  4. Uncharted 4, gameplay footage, fall 2015
  5. Kill Strain from Bend Studio, trailer and gameplay blowout, fall 2014

thats why the point reduction is there, get a game wrong, you get a point reducted. so actually if somebody makes more prediction he has the chance to get a lot but also lose a lot. some people can very well end up in the negative. its basically high risk high reward kind of thing. 

 

ohh and in the game catagory we should include platform. so if i guess Sony Japan show new IP: PS4/PS Vta. trailer 2014.

if i get platforms wrong i get the point reduced. what do you think?

I like the point reduction for the not getting the plaform competely correct. At least that way if you fuck up your platforms even with more predictions than everybody else you'll lose points. So when you say a wrong game loses a point do you mean like if someone says "GG new IP" and it isn't shown they lose point or if guess they guess wrong studio like Entwined for GG but it's actually Sony Bend's?

So if game isn't annouced or it's wrong then it's a -1. Sounds good.

I'll probably give my predictions sometime later today.

That gif made me laugh, but Watch Dogs is a great game. Almost as good as GTA V for me.

One last thing lol, I don't know if this is more complicated or simpler, but follow the same guildlines: game, how it is announced, and release. But, for every one you get right you get +2 and everyone wrong you get -1. No exceptions. It might make it easier for scoring.

Example Prediction: GG new IP, CGI trailer, 2015
Sony Reveal: GG new IP, in-game trailer, Fall 2015

So you'd get +2 for correct game, but -1 for predicting the wrong way it was showcased and -1 for wrong release window. So in total you get 0 points. If you predict something that isn't shown, like The Last Guardian, you get -3 automatically because all three categories are wrong. 

I don't know I thought it might be easier when scoring, also we won't have to put platform then.
