PostRe: E3 2018 predictions by **Peter Crisp** » Thu May 03, 2018 1:34 pm

I'd love to see a slim X1X as it's such a well designed console I'd be amazed if they can make it much smaller.
PS4 Pro has room for slimming down though and if they also go with a fancy pants cooling solution I can see them making it quite a bit smaller.

As for games I really just want to see the multiplayer aspect of Last of Us 2 and the release date for Metro.

I think these are all Xbox Two games (if rumored development has only just begun) and will go down VERY well at E3 2020

Maybe, I think Perfect Dark will make it to 2019. I hope my X1X will be able to play launch Xbox 2 games though, Fable 4's production needed a new studio to be spun up by playground, but the Coalition could have been potentially on PD for 2 years.

This is the best season in gaming! I'm already looking forward to watching the conferences with a beer and some snacks.

All but three of their big games are out or dated for release so I think there has to be some first showings of news games. Not sure what!
The Order: 1889
Dreams VR game making highlighted.
First party FPS/TPS game. Maybe Resistance maybe something new.

Longshot: PlayStation 4 portable.

Nintendo
New built for Switch Pokemon.
Pilotwings (I hope).
Zelda Wind Waker / Skyward Sword available for Switch - either as boosted remake or digital download
Super Mario Galaxy and or Super Mario Sunshine - either as boosted remake or digital download
Nintendo made deep game

Longshot: Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake

Microsoft
Xbox VR - debut
Minecraft VR - exclusive
Xbox Game Pass streaming - no need to download
Skyrim & Fallout 4 VR - theme is best console experience
Halo: MCC announcement. - Game is finished, no bugs, Halo Reach added.
Halo 5 engine multiplayer game available on Game Pass. Maybe Battle Royale.
Halo 6 announcement - will feature a full single player campaign and an online persistent experience like Destiny
XBO X soft price drop or model with increased HDD. Maybe 2 TB.
Game with Rare characters - Banjo & Conker's Big Race

Longshot: Reveal 3 new triple-A first party games.

Third party
EA, I'm going to go out on a limb with this one but FIFA 2019?
Ubisoft - no full Assassin's Creed for 2018
Ubisoft - Skull & Bones - no lessons learnt from Sea of Thieves
Sega - new multiplatform game - Streets of Rage Adventure like

I really hope next-gen games aren't constrained by current-gen systems.

Imagine games like Witcher 3, God of War, Gears 4, Horizon ZD and Battlefront having to be developed to be compatible with PS3 and 360 :dread:

I was watching a bit of a Kinda Funny Games podcast. Greg Millar said that if Microsoft do or don't reveal the Halo 6 on the E3 stage it will be indicative of their launch plans for the next Xbox. if MS don't show the Halo 6 then they're likely saving it for the next Xbox launch so they have a killer app and perhaps will launch the console sooner. But if they do reveal it then they're in this generation for a while longer.

Odd, Microsoft released Halo 4 exactly a year before the new console and it looks like Halo 6 will be no different.

As for the rumoured Halo Genesis, Fable 4 and Perfect Dark 3, if they're in early development which has been suggestedon't, then they're good candidates for early Xbox Two titles in 2020/2021.

Alan Wake and the Mysterious Tankard of Truth.
Psi-Ops reboot which looks a million times better than Crackdown 3.
Black Ops 4 has a single player mode, but only available in the Ultrastige Edition with a working replica tank.
Muse: Rock Band
Titanfall 3, which despite looking like the greatest game ever made fails to get a single whoop.
Resident Evil Online Team Battle, because everyone would like to see that, right?
Sega releases a Lightgun for all consoles and bundles it with a new Virtual Cop / House Of The Dead game and everyone loses their gooseberry fool.
A big 3 appears on screen, followed by the Valve logo. And then it's revealed to be a new Team Fortress game, accompanied by a screen-filling middle finger.

What I want:

Resident Evil 2 Remake

A new Splinter Cell

A new Rayman

Sonic 3 & knuckles to come to psn.
I don’t buy that Micheal Jackson story. If it where true then why is the game upon Steam & Xbox arcade?.

A Resistance collection (all 3 games & comes with R2 sublime multiplayer :wub:

)

Megaton: Sony have found a way to change your psn ID

What I’ll get: 4K!, Some multiplayer only bollocks & a load of disappointment.

New switch with enlarged screen size (in the same form factor, so a smaller bezel) and revised kick stand.
