So its on its way and nintendos just announced- after announcing a large loss this quarter, that they will not be giving a conference like the big 3 has done for the last decade. This being just one sign that this is going to be a very strange e3.
We've got the xbox 3 with more reports every other day claiming the reports of its "always online or no games" thing is legit, sonys whole facebook integrating, twitch streaming tie ins to the ps4, no valve again.
Its just looking to be a strange e3 like the kind we aint seen in a while. Any expectations?
Personally im guessing sony will be the big winner this time in terms of 'hype' for the first time in years. Their only hardware competition is the xbox which is gonna be a very hard sell and the last 2 or 3 xbox conferences were fucking terrible and i dont expect them to get better. I think sonys going to show some new square, ubisoft and eidos products and nintendos going to unveil its new mario and zelda titles - and theres rumours of a new metroid game and the xbox is gonna bomb trying to ride on call of duty and kinect 2.
As for surprises though i think microsofts gotta be keeping something schtum to damamge control, maybe a trailer for halo 5, maybe that rumoured alan wake sequel or the mass effect spin of. But i think its in the most trouble right now in terms of media buzz and they would be fools not to be sitting on some big sequel or new ip.
Actually i go out and guess Fable 4 for the new xbox, and they'll probably call it the xbox infinity since thats the windows 8 logo on its side and they are desperate to push the windows 8 intergration.
lets see what happens.
