Yep, it’s E3 next week. And while I honestly believe it might be a bit low key this year, I’m still hoping for a few surprises here and there.
What am I hoping to see?
Well, I’m probably most excited about the new Zelda unveiling, because I’m a glutton for punishment. I’m dreaming, but I’d also like to see something new from Retro Studios, hopefully a new Metroid game. But let’s face facts, that’s not going to happen. Nintendo isn’t showing NX stuff and I doubt Retro Studios is working on a Wii U game at this point.
I’d also like to see Sony and Microsoft unveil new hardware, in whatever shape that may take — mostly because it’ll be weird and interesting and a new thing for console games. Mostly because it’ll inspire debate and make a lot of noise. Above all I’d like to be shocked by E3 2016.
What are you hoping to see? What are you expecting to see?

F-Zero.
Taste you have, hrmmmm
Unbroken promises…
Might wanna skip Bethesdas conference or block your ears for Todd (tell me lies tell me sweet little lies) Howard.
hahaha yeah you’re not wrong
Heynow, what about their announcement of Fallout 4? That had so much good truth in it! And the announcement of Fallout Shelter being out like… that night!
-Todd lies Howard
But… it did. c.c
I’m confused.
They’re referring to this
I remember the ‘it just works’ quote, but I’m confused as to why anyone thinks it’s a lie… all the settlement stuff? It DID just work.
GR:W
Zelda
Overheard conversation of NX
…Wasn’t this question asked earlier in the week?
Middle aged guys wearing gaming shirts, jacket and jeans.
Everyone to be disappointed and say “that’s it? these were already leaked.”
RapeLay 2 PSVR
Lol. Oh, you 😛
Anything about the NX and/or the next handheld.
I’m hoping they announce an official delay for The Last Guardian. Specifically because my bottle of gamer tears is running low.
Oh and I also hope to see a conference even more bizarre and awkward than the Square-Enix one from last year.
a certain planetary alignment will be needed to make that possible
Or perhaps a lunar one 😛
I’m hoping to see at least one riot, but I’ll settle for one of the devs flubbing their pre-recorded ‘live’ demo, an exec announcing something they have to backpedal on within the week, or one of the major brands metaphorically body-slamming the other on something really consumer-friendly. Don’t care who.
Something Cthulhu inspired/themed would be awesome
When the new Nintendo machine or machines are unveiled, we all know exactly how the ‘cycle’ will go as opposed to the rampant hype the upgrades to the current gen consoles are already going.
“Big Publisher XYZ Excited About Nintedno”
“indies Love Nintendo’s New Console”
Then the contrarian and doom-saying articles of course.
That typo was deliberate 😀I’m not exactly hyped about the pre-hype for E3 as my gaming tastes have skewed a bit towards what my newly upgraded PC can currently handle, but yes with the way Nintendo seems to be so bloody confident about this new Zelda it’ll be hard to ignore.
I think they are in a bit of bind with timelines.
NX won’t be ready till early next year. Ramping up hype now would be too early for that and they’d get lost in the upgrades for the other consoles.
They don’t really have anything else big coming for the Wii U. There is Zelda and that’s about it.
Other possibilities would be that new Paper Mario but fans have already dismissed that as it’s going the way of Sticker Star and not The Thousand Year Door. Yooka-Laylee is the other one on the way that anyone cares about but that’s not first party and who knows if that’s in a state to play. I’m cautiously optimistic about that one and will pick it up unless it also hits NX.
edit – Also, waiting on NX – they can get the hype train going with an event that is all theirs, nothing else to capture attention. Can’t wait for that and it better be this year!
PS4K, Destiny 2, horizon zero dawn, forza horizon set in Aus, more no mans sky, a ps elite controller and new ips yet to be leaked, ohh and of course a new red dead
new red dead, yes please. Accompanied by a surprise GTA V style upgrade of redemption for current gen too would be lovely.
Deus Ex and Mass Effect demos I guess for me even though it’s pretty much given I’ll buy both games within the first 3 months of release.
I looked at the games list on ign and nothing stands out, then again once a cgi stuffed shiny trailer drops my interest will probably be changed (for about 5minutes before I realise it’s console only)
Never actually watched one, but I’m always keen on a suprise new IP or even a sequel that nobody saw coming.
Updates and that don’t really interesting me.
I want to see something new from thatgamecompany.
Journey came out in 2012… must be about due to show us something new.
I want to see a long shot like a Banjo-Kazooie 3 announcement. It’s unlikely, but it’s entirely possible that the Yooka-Laylee Kickstarter got the attention of the people who could make a proper Banjo game happen.
I’m sure it did – and that they’re all busy hammering away at finishing off Y-L 😛
Only available on VR.
I think the core of that team are actually making YL. The only thing they didn’t have was the IP.
Silent Hills
The same as every year: Half-Life 3.
YES.
It’s a sign that people have truly given up on it now that there’s next to no expectations for it to be announced this year.
Uhm… hello? This is the year.
2016.
2+1+0+6 = 9.
9 is 3 x 3.
What could be 3’ier?
So much 3.
Gaben’s plan all along, to be announced on the 12th or 15th of the 6th month as well…
New Naughty Dog IP. More info on Dawn of War 3.
Other than that I am kinda set up for my gaming needs for the next half year or so.
That said, some NX details, a release date for KH3 would definitely be welcome.
I have a feeling that most of it is going to be reassurances that the games that were announced last year are still being worked on and they will release at what may or may not have been the date they originally stated. PSVR will probably be hyped up too along with Microsoft’s offering and Nintendo will probably mention how they’re working to integrate Virtual Boy support into the NX.
I actually though E3 was today, damn pre-shows -w-
Anyway, nothing in particular I want to see. Just new awesome games.
Motherfuckingmetroid
*Motherbrainfuckingmetroid
well played
FFXVI or FFXII Remasters for PC.
I only want a new Red Dead.
Please, give me a new Red Dead.
The main thing I’m keen for is new Mass Effect footage and details. Some more footage of Horizon and Dishonored 2 would also be appreciated.
Surprises. I just want to see surprises.
A Tomb Raider game pls? Even if its a HD remake of one of the earlier ones. Or make the LAU trilogy bc on xbone.
Mass Effect Trailer.
In my heart of hearts, new Red Dead.
Any Red Dead News.
Like a meth addict, I need more information about Scalebound and a co-op version of Dragon’s Dogma, I’d do practically anything for it.
On the less severe side of things, more info about hd skyrim, Dishonoured 2, hololens or no mans sky (specifically if it’ll ever come to xbox down the road because I want to play it but can’t justify buying a ps4 for it)
DOOM SP dlc, Prey 2 and Serious Sam 4.
After watching Watch Dogs 2 material today, and remembering Watch Dogs E3 drama and the hype and the “meh” it actually produced… LESS HYPE
The first minute was “we got feedback, hit the forums”… and then showed people doing parkhour followed by pre rendered scenes and hype about multiplayer coop with always online connection. So yeah, they learnt… nothing.
New elder scrolls on a NEW FUCKING ENGINE
Pfft. Tell ‘im ‘es dreamin’. Next thing you’ll be wanting to hear about backwards compatibility on the PS4 or a moratorium on timed platform exclusives.
A new Spyro game that isn’t based on stupid toys.
Keen on future Doom developments (co-op please) but interested to see what Nintendo have in store, even if only Zelda.
I know they’ve previously stated no NX reveals but I reckon it would be great if they went, zelda zelda zelda, oh btw here’s the NX, drops mic, walks off stage.
A new elder scrolls would be nice. And no mot a Skyrim Remaster or that MMO crap. As cool as that could be I’ve already sacrificed enough hours to Skyrim. Imagine an Elder scrolls that uses Fallout 4’s settlement tech to let us build castles and strongholds. Yes please!
Well I’ve already seen Watch Dogs 2 (looks good) also keen to see…
Titanfall 2
Crackdown 2
Battlefield 1
Whatever crazy beta that gets sprung on us during the show
Any new Star Wars games from EA
Some substantial BC announcements from MS
Some info on all these new consoles supposedly coming out
Any info on what Nintendo is doing (don’t think we’ll get any though)
Not keen for
VR and you just know at lest a third of the PlayStation conference (which is always way long anyway) will be VR, with one third game and hardware announcements and one third exclusive DLC announcements
Zelda – Expectations are nearing second coming of Jesus level considering all the shit that’s gone on with that game’s release.
And something that hasn’t been leaked/teased/pre-announced. I don’t really understand the whole ‘we’re gonna announce everything we’re gonna be announcing at e3 beforehand’. What’s the point of even watching if I know exactly what 90% of the presentations are?
More Sonny Bonds adventures
I want to see gameplay footage. no cinematic intros please.
KOTOR 3 would be very appreciated but knowing Disney/EA slim chances unfortunately.
