E3 2015 Pre Show Predictions

Well it's time of year again where the internet breaks, forums and social media go into meltdown and the agonising wait for gamers across the world until November begins. 

Uncharted 4 with the main space. Are they going to blow our minds or is this a giant FU Microsoft?

Bethseda used an online countdown reveal of Fallout 4 in favour of E3.

E3 is back and it's.... not promising to be better than ever. Like, at all. But there's Uncharted? And VR? And we're past the awkward launch phase? And Uncharted?! There is, but there have also been the most leaks ever (poor Nathan Drake Collection) as well as companies choosing to announce their news over the internet just days before the main event. Why? So they can have a few free days in the spotlight and avoid the possibility of getting lost in the all consuming hurricane that is the E3 news. 

Why did Fallout 4 get announced just days before Bethseda's first ever E3 conference? Because it's all anyone was talking about for those few days. Teasing just enough to announce it and build up hype before finishing the job on the day and sending everyone into a coma with their full gameplay video.

New Fifa! Now with more dirt under player's boots! (paywalled)

And so I don't think we're going to get too many surprises at this year's E3, well at least certainly less than previous years anyway but I still think we'll get some awesome new videos showing games that we already know about. 

However, just out of a drunken mix of optimism and naivety I've put together a list of what I think or at least would like to see at E3 this year, focussing mainly on Sony because I shelled out ALOT of dolla on a PS4 and now have been told that I have to be biased by my bank balance.

So, after Assassin's Creed and Fifa come out and everyone pretends to care about the latest forgettable, paywall-locked gimmick they spent a year with the marketing team creating, here's my thoughts for the rest of the show.

Project Morpheus official name, release date and price. A showcase of the upcoming games for it including Insomniac's Edge of Nowhere.

Call of Duty to come out in Sony's conference as opposed to Microsoft's like last year. With timed exclusive F*ck You Microsoft Tshirt Costume DLC for pre orders.

A new trailer of Abzu from Giant Squid.

A teaser for a new Media Molecule IP.

Something from Guerilla's new IP or the latest Killzone.

Titanfall 2 to be in with the Sony lineup. Would be quite fitting revenge for the whole case of the snatched Tomb Raider.

Gran Turismo 7. It's a pipe dream but that's ok right? At Polyphony's rate they'll show a half finished logo and a 2030 release date.

The Last Guar......No. I'm sorry but I don't think it's coming. I think the fake rumour mill is just trying this year. Words cannot describe how much I would be ecstatic to be wrong.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End multiplayer to be the last feature, good solid 5-10 minute live gameplay demo which will just melt everyone's minds. Expect another controller drop.

In Microsoft's we'll probably get to see Aisha Tyler's talk to go blah........blah.....Tomb Raider.....Exclusive.......blah........Occulus Rift.....Facebook......Exclusive.....Blah.......TV!.....Sports!.....HALO! And to be fair, Halo will be a thing of beauty.

For the rest of the conferences I just really want to see more Kingdom Hearts 3, some new Final Fantasy, a new Pokemon 3D RPG (seriously Nintendo I would throw money at your Wii U), hopefully no Nintendo NX yet, a Legend of Zelda story trailer, more UBI ART games and a new Activision free Crash Bandicoot.... 

Sadly, Crash is likely to remain dead for another E3

What do you think? Has E3 started to lose it for you? And will you be staying up until 3am if you're in the UK like me?
