TheMightyEthan Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 With E3 less than a month away, I'd say now's the time to start with our predictions. I have a feeling, not sure why, that this year is going to be a little disrupted compared to normal, so it'll be harder to predict, which should make this a little more fun.

TheMightyEthan Posted May 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 I'm breaking these up by company, but I'm still counting points if I get it right, just not in the right presentation (like P5R coming to Xbox being in a Sega presentation rather than the MS one). Sony PS5 sold so great! We're winning the generation! Horizon Zero Dawn - gameplay reveal; release date announcement; release August/September this year God of War - something in-game, possibly actual gameplay, possibly just an in-engine trailer; release date/window announcement; release November/December this year (or Q4 if they just give a window) At least one new IP announcement/tease from the ~12 or so they said they have in development The Last of Us Part 2 PS5 version detailed Something about PSVR2, even if just a mention Something major getting a PC port Microsoft (I'm rolling Bethesda into here even though they said their presentations will be separate) Series S/X sold so great! We're winning the generation! Halo Infinite - gameplay re-reveal; release date announcement; release November 11 or 12 (Thursday or Friday before the 20th anniversary of Xbox/Halo: CE), possibly Monday November 15 (the actual anniversary) Forza Horizon 5 - announcement; in-game trailer; release this fall Something major from Bethesda that we haven't seen, possibly Starfield in-game trailer Some 3rd party AAA game coming to Gamepass day-one later in the year Some 3rd party AAA game (possibly old-ish) coming to Gamepass "today" (the day of the conference), "so go play it now!" A bunch more games getting FPS boost Persona 5 Royal for Xbox Nintendo Breath of the Wild 2 - gameplay/in-game trailer; release date/window; release this fall More Zelda 35th anniversary stuff - WWHD & TPHD Switch ports; Link to the Past remake a la the Link's Awakening one (this is mostly wishful thinking on my part) Switch Pro - announcement; details; 4k when docked (via DLSS); release date; release this fall SMTIV EA Something new from Respawn, possibly Jedi Fallen Order 2 Dragon Age 4 SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORTS! Ubisoft Far Cry 6 - gameplay; release date Details on that f2p Division game Mario vs. Rabbids 2 (more wishful thinking on my part) ActiBlizzion Blah blah, Call of Duty, blah blah, Hearthstone, blah blah, Call of Duty, blah blah, Call of Duty Sega/Atlus Possibly the P5R and SMTIV announcements here instead of MS/Nintendo New Sonic game (possibly Mania 2 or something in that style) Something Total War More Atlus games coming to PC Squenix Avengers roadmap FF16 Capcom REmake 4 General Lots of next-gen upgrades for existing games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) So most of the big shows were today and now that it's mostly over, there was a shocking lack of anything to get excited about. A lot of games that looked... fine. But nothing that I'm actually hyped about. Closest thing was those Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters and even that seems to be getting Square-Enix'd. Steam and mobile only (at least so far) and basically no details given other than they couldn't be bothered to do a proper collection and will be releasing them individually. People are going through the 30 seconds trailer with a fine tooth comb trying to glean any kind of info lol. Seems like Elden Ring might actually be the only big thing of this entire E3 for me.

Mister Jack Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 I'm looking forward to Guardians of the Galaxy but I'm a huge Guardians fan so I'm biased. It's not being made by the same team that did that terrible Avengers game and it doesn't seem to be a GAAS so I'm cautiously optimistic.

TheMightyEthan Posted June 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 I thought that game had the same problem as the Square Avengers game: it just looked like off-brand MCU characters. At least it's not always-online. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) I thought it looked kinda meh, tbh. At least the character designs don't look like shit like the Avengers game, I suppose. But it's so weird to make a Guardians game and have it be single-player where you only play as Star-Lord. You'd think having all the Guardians playable and a co-op feature would be a no-brainer. Based on how it looks, I'm going to guess that it has a super low budget and they just couldn't afford something like that.

MetalCaveman Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Replaced looks kinda cool, I like that art style. Forza Horizon 5 looks fun too, but other than that, Elden Ring and STALKER 2 have been the only highlights for me, and even then, STALKER 2 wasn't a new thing. Hoping Nintendo has some cool stuff to show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the GOTG Game characters were closer to the comics and therefore more "authentic", I wouldn't even know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
