What are your E3 predictions? What are your E3 wishes?

  • Question's in the title, haha. What do you want to happen? What do you think will happen? Personally I'm hoping for some Kingdom Hearts III info, and maybe a Final Fantasy XV release date, but that second one is being optimistic, I think. Very interested in what Nintendo has to bring to the table this year as well.

    I'm hoping for Kingdom Hearts PC ports.

      Oh, good one! Also, though I've played all of them, it'd be nice if they were ported the HD games to the Xbox as well, especially because Xbone is getting KHIII - good way for new people to catch up.

        I'd love to be able to play Kingdom Hearts 2 again, but no longer has my old PS2. I've been really tempted to get an emulator but I haven't been sure which ones work.

      That would be fantastic, I never had a playstation, so I missed out on that series. I would buy it so hard...

      Also, I'd love a new Metroid. Or two.

    The next Mass Effect and fallout 4 release. I would quit my job.

      Are they making anymore Mass Effects? I was under the assumption that 3 was the end.

    I want to hear more about VR. What games are being developed, which developers are seriously looking into it, what will a good setup cost, what will be released when and will it be worth getting into it right away.

      I agree. I watched the Oculus presentation on Twitch yesterday but there was no information on the price of the product. I also felt a bit skeptical about some of the games... since you're promoting virtual reality, I feel like first person games would be the way to go... but apparently the companies making their presentations were showing off mostly third person games; Eve was really impressive to me, though.

      Edit: here is the trailer for the Eve Valkyrie game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I76ylK7iEX4

        I remember hearing in one Vive presentation, that first person perspective is really hard to get right, because so many things can easily break your immersion. Little things, like how tall you are - if your avatar isn't as tall as you are, then everything feels off; or where your legs are - people try to avoid bumping legs into virtual objects. They also mentioned, that third person perspective actually works really well with VR and isn't necessary less immersive.

        Cockpit games are probably the easiest VR games to make, but, I don't think, they will be the most interesting VR experiences.

    If there is anyone who has no clue what E3 is, like myself, this is from the Wikipedia article:

    Electronic Entertainment Expo, commonly known as E3, is an annual trade fair for the video game industry, presented by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA). It is used by many video game publishers and accessory manufacturers to reveal and advertise their upcoming games and game-related merchandise. Unlike Gamescom and other video game trade fairs that are open to the public, E3 is an exclusive, industry-only event. Persons who apply to attend are required by the ESA to verify that they have a professional connection to the video game industry.

      Submit the wiki link as a related link just above, I'm sure others will find it useful.

        Wow, that's an amazing feature, thank you for letting me know

    I wish that they have a a secret showcase. It is not actually listed in their schedule, but word will spread that at one point during the event, a certain stage will need to be checked out for some kind of epic release. People will pack in like sardines, waiting, wondering what it is that is going on here. What could be so secret that this event wouldn't be listed?

    The lights will slowly go dim, and the speakers will start a low humming sound. Suddenly, this will play:

    People will start freaking out. Two spotlights will shine on either side of the stage; Kojima on one end, and Guillermo del Toro. They will walk towards one another as the room cheers, and as they meet in the centre of the stage, they will jump and high-five. But this is no normal high-five. As their hands connect, explosions will being going off all over. In the chaos and confusion, a motor cycle will be heard reving. In an instant, Norman Reedus will come flying through the back screen on a glorious Harley. Kojima and Del Toro will then get on the back of it, and just before they ride off into the sunset, Kojima will tell everyone that Silent Hills is being released a week after.

      Reading this just darkened all my grey hair, and added one whole year to my life. Thank you!

    I'm really hoping for more information on No Man's Sky. They first announced themselves at last year's E3 and I have been working myself into a frenzy waiting for a release date for PC.

    Generally, I'm disappointed with E3 showings these days. I wait for youtube reviews before boarding any hype trains.

    Really hoping to see something about Mass Effect I have put so much into that game and can't wait for another.

    • canuck

      Yes me too, even after the ending.

    A good PC focused event at E3.

      Looks like we're in luck!

    I know this is probably not going to happen, but if Nintendo and Retro announce a new Metroid Prime title I will be ecstatic.

    • eightbitsamurai
      +4

      Well it's confirmed that Retro is making a showing at E3, so your hope might not be completely unfounded!

  • TheMadMonarch

    I just want a date for Persona 5. And I'm not going to get that at E3. ;_;

  • Kronosys

    I'm hoping for a new IP to get excited about; specifically an MMO. A Kingdom Hearts 1&2 port for the PS4 would also be nice.

  • funhonestdude

    3D TVs! I kid I kid!

    But as /u/Tessier just said I'd love to see some plans for VR, especially Oculus now that they are owned by FB. I wanna communicate with people over VR damn it.

    Absolutely no way we'll get a FFXV release date that soon. Might be more feasible for FF Type-0 on PC though.

    Darksiders 3

    • shinobeast

      Well, they are releasing a special edition Darksiders 2 for the current platforms. My hope is that money goes toward Darksiders 3.

      • eightbitsamurai
        +4

        I've heard that there's a Darksiders project in the works!

        • mariogi

          Played Darksiders 2 and overall it's a great game but the puzzles can be challenging. I ended up getting stuck a few times and eventually just gave in and googled how to do them. So this is good news to me.

    Xbone needs to do something to increase sales. They are getting their asses handed to them by the PS4. So many a price cut which is unlikely since there was one recently, or the announcing of some big titles.

Here are some other snaps you may like...
