PrE3 2012: Predictions and Wishlists

NB: This is a psuedo-thread until Peter, Jay and whoever else gets their acts together. I am more than happy to pass the thread over to the usual parties as and when they require.

So, E3 Predictions?
Sony:
- Vita second wave incoming for xmas 2012: God of War, CoD, Locoroco HD and ports of Flower and Journey.
- PSN 'platform' rollout now the SDK is out there. A range of Playstation Certified devices from rival manufacturers, notably Samsung.
- Vita app SDK to make it a bit more of a tablet.
- PS4 news of some sort

Microsoft:
- Greater focus on Xbox as entertainment hub, notably the lauch of IE9 Kinect.
- 3rd Wave Kinect showing
- Halo4Halo4Halo4
- Halo 4 as the only big core game out this christmas, although some great XBLA summer games shown.
- Xbox 8 demo reel
- Greater integration between WP8, W8 and X8 across LIVE

Nintendo:
- Wii U renamed Nintendo U; Worldwide Xmas release rollout.
- Pikmin and NSMBMii are the big 1st party launch games shown in depth. A demo reel announces/shows HD Metroid, MK, Zelda and 3D Mario being worked on.
- Brief trailer for Smash Bros shown, with cross-platform 3DS/U multiplayer. Features Captain Rainbow.
- New 3DS Pokemon announced with NFC built into cart; players can scan in trading cards to unlock species (Gotta buy 'em all)
- 3DS Zelda shown; 2013 release.

Some of your predictions are what ive been thinking but here we go:

Nintendo:

Pikmin 3 and NSMB Mii fully revealed (and obviously will be Nintendos launch titles)
Nintendo announces a mini-game collection featuring the demos from last years E3 (Either free with console or to buy).
Starfox for Wii U revealed
Zelda: ALTTP 3DS revealed released May 2013 (i think its a remake not a new game)
Eternal Darkness 2
Wii U graphical power is the same as PS3/360
Luigis Mansion 2 gets October 2012 release, Animal Crossing December 2012 and Paper Mario November 2012.

and thats it..i think Nintendo wont show no-where near as much as people are thinking.

Sony:

A new Uncharted for Vita
More Vita titles are shown then PS3 games
Battle Royale and LBP: Karting can be played on both Vita and PS3
Killzone Vita unveiled (may make Christmas 2012)
Call Of Duty Vita isnt a FPS shooter but a RTS
Jak & Daxter PS3

Microsoft:

Next Generation console shown for the first time, although its a long way off..will be called the rumoured 'Infinity'
Kinect titles take a little bit of a back seat as Microsoft show an array of First-Party titles they've been keeping under their belt.
Alan Wake for Infinity shown in reel
Perfect Dark Infinity shown in reel
Microsoft enters the handheld market!

Lastly...Shenmue 3 will make an appearance (ive had a vision).

Don't we already have an E3 topic? That's the reason the topic I made with a lot of help from Jay wasn't posted.

Insanity. Nintendo has the Wii U to fully reveal this year and the 3DS is barely a year old. That and they have to make money in this financial year.

Project ane / Wardevl
Agent
GT5 stuff
Cracdown
Next-gen

wut

Shenmue HD
Half life 3
Steam on PS4
Wii U delayed until summer 2013
Xbox 720 out summer 2013
3DS lite

What I'd like to see,

Nextbox reveal, incredibly powerful with no Kinect bundled. Launch titles including Perfect Dark 2, Kameo 2 and Banjo Threeie along with a new PGR game.

Wii U to be a true power leap over 360, four tablets per console, launching with Mario Universe, Wave Race HD and Starfox U.

Vita to come down to £149 bundled with a memory card and Killzone Vita set on Vekta.

PS4 revealed and launched 2012 with Killzone IV and Gran Turismo VI. Move discontinued.

What will actually happen.

No mention of Nextbox, 360 price cut, loads of Kinect games and apps.

Wii U to be only as powerful as 360/PS3,only one tablet per console, Mario Kart and Wii U Sports to launch.

Vita third party support to drop off already, Killzone to be 2013.

Sony to scale back first party output, no mention of PS4. Sony to claim that someone somewhere still cares about Move.

I hope that Half Life 3 is revealed, not getting my hopes up though...

Not possible. The known specs are already ahead of PS3 and Xbox 360.

Extra power to be used by the tablet, bet what we see on the TV will be basically the same as 360/PS3

Its different though, expect more of a PS2 -> Gamecube like scenario I think.

There will be some games that on Wii U won't look as good as stuff on 360/PS3, but then there'll be others that take advantage of its more modern graphics capabilities to do stuff that just can't be done on 360/PS3.

Predictions

Sony:
Killzone for Vita
GTA V for Vita
Actually, just a lot of Vita related stuff

Microsoft:
Kinect
Kinect
and then some more Kinect
A sneak preview of NextBox

Nintendo:
Wii U with lots of games that will make everyone rush out and buy one at launch
Shenmue 3 Wii U exclusive

Don't have a wish list

Wii u will be what 3ds is to psp ie. negligible difference with extra effects etc.

Nintendo are going to have to pull something special out, but if they give us nsmb with a extra screen I'm out. More interested in what ms have to show.

Shenmue 1 and 2 HD is 99% guaranteed imo. Expect to see GTA Trilogy in HD too and gta5 delayed until fall 2013.

Shadow Complex 2, thats all im hoping for this year.

Haven't cared about anything Nintendo have done since the gamecube, the ps3 killed Sony in my estimation so I don't care what they do now, and Microsoft are just gonna keep chasing that casual dollar by showing another e3 of baby games and waggle gooseberry fool for grannies and ten year olds. The most exciting thing I've played in years is day z, which didnt need a big studio or a stand at e3, so I don't really give a crap what AAA waggle game Microsoft are bringing to nextbox when the best games out there are coming out on pc and the mod scene

so basically consoles bad, pc good?

You seem to forget that their holding a conference in September for major Wii U details like release date & Price. Maybe they will show quite a bit for 3DS..but im not expecting shed-loads of Wii U announcements at E3 (prove me wrong Ninty).

I'd still expect to see final hardware, final name & launch software at E3, if not then E3 is really going to be bad :lol:

I wish that'd been a prediction instead of a wish list.

And I wish you were a prophet.

You would think game companies would try to do what people want, afraid that seems to rarely be the case though
