E3 2013

[Soapy]

It's less than a month away now, so I figured it's time to make the thread. With the proper next generation debuting and with both multiple console manufacturers going head to head with new hardware, this year ought to be really exciting and make up for the last several miserable E3s. I'll leave it up to you guys if you want to make specific threads for Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony or not.

Damn, i forgot how close it was.

Looking forward to this yrs conferences.

 

[Havok83]

I love that Sony's is always in the evening as I never have to miss work for it

 

[TX85]

So now it's just MS and Sony at E3 and both will focus on neXbox and PS4..Should be very interesting!

 

[Matt]

I don't think we'll see a lot of surprises this year. My guess is we might see the new Fallout. Maybe a teaser for another Mass Effect but nothing substantial (Bioware's focus will likely be on Dragon Age III). I think Sony MIGHT show Uncharted 4 as a PS4 launch title. They clearly held back in the game department when they launched the PS4, saved something for E3. My guess is Uncharted as it is their flagship first party title. But I think a lot of the focus will be on what we already know is coming (new consoles and GTA).

If they do that ill preorder the PS4 on the spot.

 

[Havok83]

There is no way in hell UC4 will be a launch title. Sony already has some solid launch window first party titles for the system. To announce UC4 would mean cannibalizing those titles and I don't see that happening. The focus will and should be on Infamous and Killzone and Uncharted will at most get a teaser to let us know its coming but no way should people it this fall.

I agree that i dont think it happens, but i dont think Sony has anything even remotely resembling "solid" launch titles. At least nothing they have announced thus far, well save for inFamous: Second Son. Killzone couldnt look more bland.

 

[TX85]

The new Killzone looks great to me But Infamous:Second Son is the only PS4 exclusive so far that really interests&excites me.

The launch titles line-ups don't mean much to me though since I most likely won't get one of the new consoles until early(Feb-April)next year.

 

[Havok83]

so basically its a typical launch for a system. I think having Infamous and Killzone are already two big heavy hitters and already make the PS4 launch look more impressive than anything the PS3 had to offer. Plus thats just the first party material. Watch Dogs, AC IV are among some of the major third party games to look out for and Im sure we will hear more next month. Sony would be best not to throw out its heaviest hitter right out the gate. It would be better served to hold onto that and let the system build an initial install base first and then throw UC4 out there a year later to grab onto those who arent early adoptors. The game will get better sales this way anyway

 

[TX85]

Out of the confirmed games to be at the event I'm personally interested&excited for..

Assassin's Creed IV:Black Flag
Batman:Arkham Origins
Battlefield 4
Call of Duty:Ghosts
DeadPool
Destiny
InFamous:Second Son
Killzone-Shadow Fall
NFL25
Saints Row IV
Splinter Cell:Blacklist
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows
Thief 4
Watch Dogs

 

[Electro UK]

You know, I'm just really invested in my Vita right now, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what Sony drip-feeds us this E3 on that front.

 

[Grievous]

Microsoft will be keeping the COD Ghost footage to themselves so I expect that to be shown during their time. They are gonna need at least two exclusives to go against the PS4 this Fall. Doubtful anything Halo this early. Maybe a Gears game, and maybe something new.

 

[Soapy]

Personally, I think we're going to see Call of Duty on the 21st. And it's not really set in stone that Microsoft will go head to head with Sony this year. There have been a number of rumors recently that Durango is being pushed back to 2014.

 

[Benstamania]

Awesome, E3 takes place during my weeks vacation.

I want to know if Arkham Origin's will see a next gen launch as well...If so I'll hold off on the October release and pick it up for whatever system I choose to get first (looking like Sony right now for Infamous and Destiny..)

I've grown tired of Assassin's Creed...That series needs to take a break... And don't even get me started on Call of Duty. I hope I'm surprised this year, that's all I'll say.

[Ramsay Snow]

Nintendo will release a Nintendo Direct before E3 with discussion of stuff like Smash Bros., Mario Kart & a new Mario 3D game.

 

[DirtyHarry]

I really wanna see the new SSB game, one of my favorite series ever t:

 

[SpideyVille]

• Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
• Batman: Arkham Origins
• Beyond: Two Souls
• Call of Duty: Ghosts
• Deadpool
• Destiny
• inFamous: Second Son
• Last of Us, The
• Legend of Zelda, The: The Wind Waker HD
• Mario Kart Wii U
• Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
• NBA Live '14
• Need for Speed
• Pokémon X and Y
• Saints Row IV
• Splinter Cell: Blacklist
• Super Mario Wii U
• Super Smash Bros. Wii U / 3DS
• Watch Dogs

Here's my list of games that I'm interested in gameplay for. The ones in bold are the ones that I might/will actually buy. The Ninentdo stuff is more of just seeing how they can improve their big franchises, but I doubt any of it will make me want a Wii U.

 

[hippie_hunter]

My thoughts:

- My annual prediction that Sony finally announced MediEvil III, which will never happen.

- Sony at least shows off Uncharted 4, but it won't be a launch title.

- EA goes all out with the Star Wars license. While it'll be too early to show off new games, they will at least announce something (like Knights of the Old Republic III) and announce HD re-releases for older Star Wars games like Battlefront and Knights of the Old Republic I & II.

- Gamers will still be disappointed in Microsoft's Xbox One.

- Nintendo unleashes a plethora of exclusive games in order to compete with Sony and Microsoft: Mario Kart, Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Sonic, and more.

 

[darthcoolness3]

E3 2013 will show that Nintendo will win the console war against Microsoft and Sony.

 

[TX85]

Only in terms of sales

 

[SpideyVille]

Nintendo has had a year head start and they already behind.

 

[Spider-Vader]

This is going to be the most interesting E3 in years. I hope MS doesn't disappoint again

 

[ProjectPat2280]

This is going to be the most interesting E3 in years. I hope MS doesn't disappoint again

Haha at this point they have no option. I mean the amount of negativity they are being hit with is unlike anything iv seen in recent memory. They have more riding on this years E3 than any other console manufacturer in the last 2 gen cycles.
