E3 2015

Fallout 4 or we riot.

Or alternatively become very sad for another couple years and wait in quiet desperation.

Either or is good.

Preferably no Fallout 4, unless its not written by Bethesda

Avaunt ye, foul shade! Back into the pits of NMA you go! I expel you with bell, book and candle!

Seriously, I don't really get the hate for Bethesda's story telling. I get through their games and enjoy them, whereas I've still to finish Bioware's Dragon Age, its addon and Dragon Age 2

Half-Life 3 or riot!

Gaben can't count to 3.

And if they announce a Fallout MMO?

That'd probably be even worse.

That's the worst case scenario, yes.

No ocean would be wide enough to stop me walking across it and expressing my anger at such a stupid decision.

Fallout MM Os make Jesus mad, apparently.

Not quite. Though my righteous indignation would be enough to freeze the waters.

So you are in fact... Elsa?

I think I'd go Farnsworth on the world and leave.

Why does every studio seem to believe that an MMO is the "right" step forward - massive overheads, huge issues with subscriber maintenance, long term longevity. With a single player game, you can push it out the door, bam done.

I know there's this idea that an MMO is a "License to print money", but only if you hit stupidly high subscriber levels.

Now, Co-op options for Fallout I could kind of dig. But beyond that? No.

Aren't Valve doing a major hardware announcement with some "leading pieces of software" as well this year?

blah blah Half Life 3

One of the games that were believed to be saved for a western reveal at E3 by Square Enix was just confirmed to be coming to the west.

-Crosses out one spot on my bingo card-

Deus ex sequel as well? What's the odds on that? :D

So, I'm putting money on:

New Borderlands

New Co D

EA pushing the new Mass Effect as a teaser

latest World Of Warcraft updates

Destiny expansions and growth plan

The "Exciting new world" of paid for ads in console games

F 2 P P 2 W IAP for XBOX One and PS 4 - for FIFA and the new Revolution.

Some new IP that will then get attached to an existing one halfway through development?

I don't really want a new Deus Ex story unless it's one that while honoring the first game in spirit at least, totally ignores it in its core plot and goes on to rewrite the history of the franchise. Because it's Square's now, not Ion Storm's. The last time Ion Storm's story was expressed we got the worst game in the entire franchise, so much so that I'm not happy calling Square's Deus Ex at all. I just call it Human Revolution. Sounds daft, but Invisible War really was that jarring.

If Square does do a reboot, and it's successful which it may well be, at least they can wipe out Invisible War from the canon story.

A new Call of Duty is almost a given.

Bethesda put me on their VIP list and the conference.

I expect Microsoft to announce the next-gen of their other cash cow, Gears of War.

I've heard that Kingdom Hearts is confirmed for E3 2015 somewhere. Anyone else heard similarly?

I also have my money on Mass Effect 4 and Dragon Age Inquisition DLC being shown.

I could see Telltale showing new things off because they supposedly have an original IP in the works and, if they have a new game engine or something, that'd be something to show.

Predictions that nobody's mentioned yet:

• yearly EA sports games
• Pokemon Z/X2 Y2/whatever Game Freak has planned
• Star Fox U trailer
• another Zelda U trailer with final name
• lots of DLC
• an official statement on what Microsoft plans to do with Mojang and Minecraft
• memes

Memes are a given.

Who the hell are you, Another Guy? First you personally know John Wesley Shipp, now you have inside access to E3!

I'm just Another Guy.

Here are my personal expectations for this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo:

Nintendo (My most favorite company):

-Updates on Star Fox U and The Legend of Zelda Wii U, with possible final names-

-A special announcement regarding the 30th anniversary of the Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Mario Bros. More then likely a new Mario game-

-New Metroid/F-Zero? (Doubt it)-

Sony:

-New information on Kingdom Hearts III-

-A new Crash Bandicoot game? (I really doubt it)

-Updates on Project Morpheus-

Other then that, that is pretty much it for me.
