E3 Discussion Thread

Didn't see one pop up yet, so I figured I might as well get one started! Consider this the thread where all of our gaming hopes and dreams will either be realized or squashed. Here's some info on E3, for those interested:

It looks like E3 is going to be chock-full of games this year. Some things I hope to see, in order:

1. Fallout 4: The timing would be about right for an announcement. It's been more than two years since Skyrim came out, and there usually isn't much of a separation between the two series. The rumor was that Bethesda was showing off an engine exclusive to high-end PC users and next-gen hardware at E3 to investors last year. Twitch has an "unannounced Bethesda title" on their schedule, so it will probably either be Fallout or Dishonored. Both would be welcome.

2. Zelda U: This, without a doubt, will be at E3. I think Nintendo has to bring out the big guns this year, if they want the Wii U to take off. If it's anything like that trailer they showed a couple of years ago, I'll be hyped.

3. Beast Souls: The not-so-officially announced "Beast Souls" is probably going to be shown at E3, but no one really knows quite yet. It will likely be a sequel to Demon Souls, as it seems to be a PS4 exclusive.

4. Pokemon U: There's much debate over whether something like this would even be plausible for Nintendo, but there's almost zero doubt that it would be as good of a system seller as Nintendo is going to get. It's not probable at this point, but there was a leaked picture of two Pokemon on a Wii U screen at E3 last year.

5. An Unannounced Sports Game: I've had my money on an EA baseball game being announced sometime this year. Ideally, I'd like to see someone return to the college sports market, but with the lawsuit just now clearing itself up, the timing would be awfully weird. I'd also bet that we get to see the new EA golf game, which should be exciting.

6. Halo: Master Chief Collection: This one has been rumored to death, and Microsoft not showing it at this point would be a disappointment.

7. Bioshock/Red Dead Redemption: I say one or the other because Take Two Marin was just recently handed the keys to Bioshock, so I'm guessing Take Two will show off one before the other. My guess? Red Dead 2 will be announced.

8. Lots and Lots of Starwars Battlefront: I'm desperately hoping for a Spring 2015 release, but that might be a long shot, at this point. At the very least, I'm hoping we get to see some gameplay.

9. Madden: Madden will be at E3, no doubt. But, I'm hoping to see a totally different game then the one we have seen for the past decade or so. I think it's really important for them to take some risks, fresh off of trying to port the game to the new consoles.

10. New IPs: Both MS and Sony are promising new IPs, so I'm sure we will see one. There has been a massive drought of RPGs recently, so maybe we'll see something on that front?

I'm still waiting for the E3 Nintendo announces they will stop producing consoles and instead make games for Playstation and Xbox.

A guy can dream, right?

[LBzrule]

A week from showtime and I'm stoked already. MS has already announced:

Forza Horizon 2 - Today
SSOD
Quantum Break moves to Gamescon
Price cut and Kinectless X1
Halo 5: Guardians

So for the 90 min press conference I know they'll have Fable Legends, SSOD, Halo 5 with the latter two probably not taking up too much time. Hopefully they have a lot of other things to show off since they have made a lot of their major announcements.

[Flawless]

What I'm looking forward to and hoping to see from Nintendo that isn't to crazy unrealistic.

• Bayonetta 2 - I can't be anymore excited, just give a release date already.
• Monolith Soft's X - E3 should be a big stage for this game if it really is coming later this year as Nintendo's Earnings continue to state. Looks a whole lot like Xenoblade Chronicles, but with mechs and an online component.
• Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem - Only got a logo teaser last year, so hoping it's in a state now that they can show gameplay because there's a lot of possibilities to combine elements from both.
• Zelda Wii U - Really curious to see where they go with this.
• Majora's Mask remake - This has been teased by Nintendo for to long for it not to be real. The only question is 3DS or Wii U?
• Metroid - It's time for a new Metroid, just don't let Team Ninja touch it.
• Mario Strikers - I would like to see a Nintendo sports game for Wii U and a new Strikers would be preferred.
• Mario Galaxy 1+2 HD - Probably the best candidates for HD remasters and would look amazing.
• Virtual Console - Hoping for several new announcements.
• 3DS games - This year has been okay, but last year 3DS owners were spoiled. Hoping for some new game announcements, along with some localization announcements.

PS4:

Project Beast
Rime
Gravity Rush 2
Media Molecule project
Sony Bend project
Guerrilla Games RPG
The Last Guardian

Spoiler

This is the year, right, right?

Other:

The Witcher 3
Next Mass Effect
Mirror's Edge 2
Persona 5
Destiny
Far Cry 4
FFXV
Kingdom Hearts 3
And of course new IPs.

[Kearnzo]

All I want to see this year is an announcement for Fallout 4.

[TracerBullet]

Is it weird that I own a PS4, but I'm actually more interested in MS and Nintendo's press conferences?

Also, are the big conferences getting their own threads like normal or are we just posting everything here?

[Skyboxer]

Just hoping for some fresh things and not it being all about "Insert game here" 4 or 5 etc...
