E3 2015 Predictions & Discussion thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
My thing is that I always assume conferences will be disappointing. I am not easily satisfied because most things that would actually make me happy will never happen. Proper Silent Hill 1-4 remasters, for example.

So for me, the pre-E3 hype is all I have. I live for the riddles, for the teases, for the unverifiable rumors that turn out to be true and the trustworthy lies that end up a bust. Without leaks and teases, E3 might as well not even happen for me. I'll just check the news when I get home from work and that will be it. It will be over. Because all the excitement and conversation and engagement I have with E3 is entirely predicated on pre-E3 hype.

That said, this is my worst E3 ever. No leaks. No teases. Nothing to talk about. Just sitting and waiting to catch the notes on the conferences I won't be able to watch live.

It sucks.

That explains it. Kids wish they could be grown ups. Grown ups wish they could be kids again. The loop is complete.
You know farisr, we're not so different, you and I.

You yearn to return to a time that has passed you by, and I yearn to experience a time yet to come. We both wish for something that feels fleeting. We are two different sides of the same coin. A head and a tail. An apple and an orange. A potato and a potahto.

Similar for me except it's more that I expect nothing I care about will be anything E3 cares about

Yakuza 5 getting localized at PSX is one of the biggest announcements for me in years so I just live in hope that anyone will do more stuff like that

Cool new avatar. Or am I super late on noticing that? lol.

That's good that everyone already got it out of the way. I guess people are saving that FF7 remake speculation as their last-ditch effort, before accepting the inevitability of their disappointment.

Edit:

Oh wow, I sound like Agent Smith. Good shit.

We had that too, there is even a avatar bet around it

You mean this?

Thanks.
Sooo...

Gaf-bet: Final Fantasy VII Remake announced till TGS(conference ends)
Losers going to use a chosen avatar(Knack) for 6 months.

Favor:
Kyoufu

Against:
John Bender

Edit:
Can't even be called Gaf-bet with just three people.
Still a bet.

Let's be honest here.

How good was Legend of Dragoon really? Wasn't it a decent game at best? I remember playing it, and giving up a couple hours in because it didn't capture me strongly. I understand people like different things, but why would you want that? I don't want that. I don't like giving up. It's demoralising. And it goes against everything Joan Cena believes in.

Cool new avatar. Or am I super late on noticing that? lol.
Oh him? He's been with me for about two months now, so you're a bit late. I carry the heavy burden of taking him to his grave. I'm not nice enough to buy him a coffin though.

Is this you re-asserting that a Legend of Dragoon reboot is coming to an E3 near us soon?

Figured. Sounds like a good idea for an avatar bet though...Trico in a coffin lol.

That's not what you should see. If I have something to say, I'll just say it. I don't like playing that game. No one has time for that.

You all are supposed to be past this stage now. wiggandylan, why did you lie to me?

I remember liking legend of dragoon's story
but the gameplay and pacing wasn't very good
I can't remember anything about it if I'm honest. I remember a prison of sorts. That's it. Personally, I'm more about new IP. While it's nice to have older IP show up, since RPGs have big worlds and stories, it's more interesting to me if they're new. Baten Kaitos was a pretty good game, and that world's artstyle was nice.

A RPG where you can fly everywhere would be really good. Even better would be if you had floating islands like BK did, and you could also go to islands on the water. Baby steps though, I guess. I'd be satisifed with flying everywhere for now with a new game. Then hopefully crazier stuff comes our way afterwards.

The only thing I see.

What if you are the Agent and the game waits for you?

Fuck Legend of Dragoon.

Edit:

Okay, that sounds way too harsh. What I mean is, we should accept that it's a thing of the past.

The more you say, more they get attached to it.
Sadly...

Like skies of Arcadia

Now that'd be a great game to get a sequel over shenmue iii lol

I'm guessing Gamescom.

I'm also guessing this will be the worst E3 in years.
This is going to be the best E3 in years. But I like your attitude. I'd join you, but my brain isn't in the right place.

Right, that had the ships. I actually never had the chance to really play that. RPGs are intimidating now. They ask for a lot of investment when it comes to time. I have such a strong love/hate relationship with open world games. I've become a ball of conflicting emotions.

Why Gamescom? Isn't now the right time?

And I disagree. I think for the most part the last few year's have been lackluster (possible because of Nintendo's lack of stage presence) but I'm hyped once again for this year.

ALSO: Goodbye Chris Pratt avatar, hello Hawkguy.

Verendus, you would be proud of this thread.

People started to have beliefs, but stops right there.

I think this E3 is going to be good. The only irrational thing I want is the new fighting IP from Capcom and Sony, even so won't be disapointed.

I want capcom to release a new Rival Schools.

So based on Verendus' hints, this E3 we'll get:
Agent, Rise (or Next coming) of Dragoon, Sony's FF rivaling jrpg and last guardian.
And to expand from that I will expect FF remake collection (VII, VIII and IX), Half-Life 4 and Shenmue 5

I can live with that.

I don't think so..

And there is no Gamescom for Sony this year.

I thought the no Gamescom was for Microsoft? My mistake.

I just think we would've seen a few more leaks before now if they were getting really close to a reveal. Just a guess.

Good E3 even for Sony?

Come on now, why stop there? Just throw in FFXVI, KH3, Crash, Guerilla's game, Gran Turismo, Suikoden, and anything else that comes to mind.

I'm more than happy to start making up games if you have any good ideas, like Harry Potter without Harry Potter. Instead, it stars a fish, but it can talk. And the big twist at the end of the game is that its name is Nemo. Oh, and that it's actually a Kingdom Hearts world, which you only realise when you run into Sora.

Oh yes. It's going to be really good.

I think it's wholly possible that the show will be great without leaks. We're still a week and a half away. We haven't event gotten to speculate on what's in the crates yet.

0% chance this E3 is bad

Sony could simply showcase what is already announced and you would have a show with Rime, No Mans Sky, Uncharted 4, The Witness, Star Wars Battlefront, Fallout 4, Tearaway Unfolded, The Tomorrow Children, Alienation, Broforce, MGSV, Stsr Ocean 5, Persona 5, WiLD, Hot Shots Golf, Ratchet and Clank, on and on.

That would be an amazing show in of itself. A very colorful one too

Anyone know when Fable Legends is supposed to be released?

Since it's supposed to be free to play and I haven't heard anything on it in awhile, I could see Microsoft pulling one of those "and you can download it for free, NOW"

Decent amount of large budget first party exclusives? Any third party exclusives?

I'm just not expecting much from the PC show (Blizzard won't announce anything of note and Valve aren't on stage AFAIK - Paradox might get some HOI4 info out), I've no interested in the Bethesda, limited interest in Square, no faith in EA & Ubisoft, and low expectations of the console makers.

I don't really care about games I already know are coming out. Reveals or bust for me, to be honest.

Plus only NMS really interests me outta those lot.
 
I've been thinking about the things that, to me, would be the best E3 I ever had. And it's pathetic how modest, yet impossible, my dreams are:

-Silent Hill 1-4 Remaster, with 1 actually being Shattered Memories and and actual Silent Hill 1 is just a bonus
-Missing PSP games added to PSN for Vita, including Crisis Core, Metal Gear Acid 1+2, and Mega Man Powered Up
-Valkyrie Chronicles 3 localized
-Mother 1-3 Collection on 3DS
-Alan Wake Remastered/Alan Wake 2 on all platforms
-Complete BioShock Collection, including a major technical update to BioShock
-Red Dead Redemption PC/Remaster
-New Bully with female Bully
-New God of War in new mythology
-New Red Dead anywhere even near the narrative caliber of Redemption
-PS1/PS2 Classics on PS4
-GBA titles on n3DS
-2D/2.5D Metroid on 3DS
-New 3D Metroid on Wii U
-Perfect Dark reboot as a third person stealth shooter

And that could be it. E3 could be half remasters and revivals and I wouldn't even care.

I bet this is the plot for The Last Guardian.
It would explain all this time in production

For once Verendus, can you at the very least be nice? Just give us something to go by. Sometimes the old insulting everyone shtick gets old. People are hungry, give us something to talk about.

I've insulted no one. As a matter of fact, it's been, I think, a good few weeks since I last did that. Taking the piss out of video game characters doesn't count.

How dare you? This is libel.

And besides, when have I ever given you anything to talk about? I'm on the side of no leaks. I'm vehemently against them. There are better ways to get excited. Look at me. I don't get hype. I stay hype. Have you ever heard about that? Staying hype? That's how I roll.
