E3 Predictions Thread

[Doc Miles]

It's that time of the year again. Please try and keep the predictions somewhat realistic and don't start firing off wishlists.

...

Sony - LA Noire timed exclusive, Move is a raging success, LBP2 steals the show, Agent is amaze, FFVII remake finally announced, Arkham Asylum 2 timed exclusive, KZ3 trailer shown, new Jax & Daxter, New Ratchet, New Destruction Derby.

Nintendo - Zelda revealed, fans burst in orgasmic delight at the new, more mature look of Link. New Wii Play, Wii Music, Wii Winter Sports ( ).

Microsoft - Natal is the joker of the show.

Final Fantasy VII remake WILL never happen.

If it does, it'l probably gone linear like Final Fantasy XIII. Best leave it in the past.

PS Have you seen Cloud in FFVII: Advent Children film? He looks like a girl for christ's sake.

Anyway, back on topic: I would predict that MS will reveal a picture of Perfect Dark 2. Every Ms. Dark fans will cry and rejoice, spin the hype machine until the game is released. Then every Ms. Dark fans will cry and befoul Rare.

Can't see it myself.

Nintendo:
Will show off the new Zelda, Wii Party, Kirby which uses the vitality sensor. 3DS will get an official name and release date. As well as launching with a 3D Wario Land game.

Microsoft:
Will show off Gears 3 as well as the new Mass Effect(not Mass Effect 3). Natal will surprise me and show some software to interest me, maybe Time Crisis. Metal Gear Solid Rising will be shown in video form.

Sony:
Will have R* show off Agent, Batman 2 will be shown as a PS3 timed exclusive. Gran Turismo 5 blows minds, then announced for 2012. Metal Gear Solid Rising will be shown in video and an announcement that Peace Walker is heading to PS3. Move will surprise me with some software, maybe Time Crisis. The Last Guardian and LittleBigPlanet 2 are joint games of the show. Killzone 3 will get announced with a stunning trailer.

You're blind.

Well he managed to pull it off in FFVII where he had to dress up as a girl. So my point stands.

And defeats my point as well.

2012?

Completely forgot about Rising.

2012?

Too soon?

New Destruction Derby.

Turned into a bit of a running joke this, hasn't it.

[NickSCFC]

Sony:
-Conference is done in 3D, audience provided with glasses
-Move is a success, EA's demos of sports games impress the most
-New GT5 tracks, weather shown off and impresses
-Show ends with a silhoette of the next PSP

Microsoft:
-Natal disappoints, no 3rd party games shown
-Most games shown are sequels
-Cliff Blezinski is as annoyingly punchable as usual, but with less skinny arms this year
-Windows Phone 7 takes up alot of time and bores the audience to death

Nintendo:
-3DS impresses, beats PSP and iPhone for tech specs and features
-Most of the show is spent showing existing games
-New Zelda is the only major Wii announcement

I honestly don't see why Sony hasn't got someone like Sumo, to make a PSN download update of this.

[Rubix]

Ico & SotC will be announced as a HD collectors PS3 disk

[abcd]

Microsoft might be showing their new mobile phone and the games on that?

They should just get the Motorstorm guys to add some destruction derby type arenas and game modes to Motorstorm 3.

No I don't agree with that. They have totally different vibes. One is of festivals the other is redneck style carnage. Keep them seperate.

Hmm, can't see Metro making the PS3 jump. Would be great if it did, amazing game. I'm personally hoping for some DLC, perhaps allowing the player to explore Polis/other stations.

Don't forget Saints Row 3.
