E3 Predictions?

Daft Pink · July 08, 2008, 11:13:01 AM

What do you predict will happen during E3 08 this year. Don't just predict about Nintendo, but Microsoft and Sony too. I personally think that Nintendo will announce a new Zelda. That would be awesome, but I really hope that it's much better than Twilight Princess. For Microsoft, I'm not really sure, but I think they will have something on the new Banjo game. I'm not really sure about Sony, but I think they might announce a new Jak & Daxter. So what do you think will happen at E3 '08?

Sony:
Killzone 2 is demoed to widespread acclaim.
LittleBigPlanet proceeds to blow everyone away.
New PSP games, of course.

Microsoft:
Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts has another trailer shown.
People wait in line for hours to play Gears of War 2.
Microsoft's rumored motion controller is shown, as well as the motion controller for the new Banjo Kazooie.

Nintendo:
Kid Icarus Wii is announced, surprising very few but exciting everybody.
Animal Crossing Wii is shown for the first time, and people are impressed.
F-Zero Wii is announced, but nothing about it is shown.
Nintendo spends some time saying how well Wii Fit sold.
A new Wii IP is announced.
Some new DS projects emerge.

Nintendo:
Something about online will change due to demand.
An NES classic will resurrect (possibly Kid Icarus).
Reggie comes and says "we've sold more than our competitors" and the fans go wild.
Miyamoto comes with Pikmin on the stage announcing Pikmin 3.

New Dashboard is announced and already has a date.
Halo Wars trailer and release date.
Gears of War 2 is playable.

Sony:
Good games are finally announced.
LittleBigPlanet has a new trailer, but not playable.

Some other crap that isn't really good.

Other Companies:

Tiberium will have a new trailer that revolves around storyline.
Ubisoft shows one good game with 100 terrible games.
EA says that a good game will come to the Wii.

Nintendo/Wii/DS:
Kid Icarus Wii (made by 2nd party)
Star Fox Wii
Disaster footage
The Conduit publisher announced; new footage
Wii Fit Sales
Wii Sales
DS Sales
Market Expansion information

I wouldn't be surprised to see a motion sensitive remote from Sony and/or MS.

What I'd like to see:
Sequel to Pokemon XD (using the main characters from XD and Colo, along with a new person you play as)
Pokemon Stadium games for VC
Upgraded Internet Channel featuring tabs, Java, Flash 9

Sony:
Killzone 2/ Resistance 2
LittleBig Planet will kick all ass
God of War 3 unveil
New PSP system

Microsoft:

Banjo-Kazooie crap
"we gots a betta online ninnyes!"

Nintnedo:
"touting how great we are"
Star Fox game
"more touting"
Animal Crossing
Wiiware stuff (megaman9)
"STILL more touting"
Zelda announcement
"MY GAWD WII ARE AWESOME YAM I RIGHT!?!?!?!?!?!"
*Reggie stomping on a PS3*

I don't know poop about Sony or Microsoft, but Nintendo will probably won't do that good without the Zelda game.

Kid Icarus Wii plz!

RevolutionSoldier · July 08, 2008, 01:37:44 PM

I think that a new zelda will be announced (If it is we might have it by 2012). Since the DS is four years old I think there's a good change a new handheld will be shown. If it does I think it may have some on board memory and have gameboy and gameboy advance games to download like a virtual console thing. I also hope nintendo announces a hard drive of some kind for the wii. That is more of a wish that a prediction and while I'm talking about hops I hop Ubisoft announces a new Rayman platformer.

Yeah, my list is more fanciful, but a mix of my list and yours will make up their E3 conference.

King_Gamer28 · July 08, 2008, 05:33:48 PM

Nintendo:

-Will finally say something, SOMETHING, about Wii's incarnation of Animal Crossing and will put some detail into it, possibly during their press conference.
-Update us on Disaster: Day of Crisis, maybe?
-I'm going to throw out there that they're going to just come out and announce an entirely new game/series with some sort of detail put into it.
-Online will change, in some way, shape, or form. More servers would be a nice announcement, to speed up gameplay. Possibly elimination of friend codes in future releases.

Microsoft:

-Rock Band 2 information, song list, features, etc.
-Gears 2 stuff.
-Other miscellaneous games announced.

Sony:

-LittleBigPlanet is there, playable.
-Lots of sequels.

I'm not good with predictions, but this year's show should be good.

Yeah, Nintendo of Europe confirmed that there would be Animal Crossing Wii at E3.

This year looks to be good on all fronts.

Oh, and Banjo Kazooie and Mirror's Edge will be there.

There won't be another Zelda game for at least two years.

But an announcement is likely. There's a pattern in when Zelda games have been announced.
