Can they continue the hype from last year?
Last week,we askedyou dainty Dtoiders to predict what you think will happen at each of the major press conferences going into E3. Earlier this week, we shared your thoughts onMicrosoft. Next up, your predictions forSony’s big show!
EphemeralSynthesis:
PS Now, noThe Last Guardian, and someThe Last of Us Remasteredgameplay. And hopefully Morpheus.
Barry Kelly:
Valkyria Chroniclescollection for Vita and PS4.
PS1 and PS2 backwards compatibility for PS4 via some free software emulators rolled into firmware along with launching the PS1 and 2 classics on PSN for PS4. [Oh god yes, please do this. -Andy]
And nothing even remotely resembling a launch date for Project Morpheus.
Anti jimmyx:
I would anticipate their continual tightrope act between cockiness and confidence. The latest generation is just beginning and things could change at any time. I would hope they focus on games since that is my primary interest with their products.
As I said in the Microsoft article, no matter what Sony actually does reveal, there will be more than enough to needlessly pan and critique. It is a pity that people choose to sever themselves from some potentially wonderful experiences. [Welcome to the Internet, sadly. -Andy]
Shane Saiyan:
The Last Guardianrevamped as a PS4 game, and probably the nextGod of War. [Wouldn’t it be hilarious ifTLGwas teased again, butstillas a PS3game? -Andy]
Rockstar revealsAGENTfor… PS3?!?!?! [Haha, yes. This exactly. -Andy]
Handy:
I’m hope it doesn’t focus on Morpheus too much, not that Morpheus is uninteresting, but how do you even show something like that off at an E3 conference? It could be like that year they were pushing 3D; not very fun to watch at home.
Mostly though I just want to see thatFF15is actually going to happen with some new footage or gameplay, just give me something concrete. And Project Beast, of course.
ctg867:
Uncharted 4,Syphon Filter: Kill Strain,Beast Souls,The Last Guardian, Media Molecule’s new IP, theGod of Warspiritual successor,Gravity Rush 2,Sly Cooper 5,MediEvil 3,Ape Escape 4, a newLocoRocoorPatapon, PS Classics on PS4,Killzone: Shadow Fallon PS Plus,MinecraftVita bundle, PS3 price drop, Vita TV Western Release. [How thorough! Check out his full prediction blogshereandhere. -Andy]
TheGreatEscape:
I have a giant list of games I think they could show, but a lot of them are games we already know about (Destiny,Deep Down). If we’re talking strictly “new” then…
Crash Bandicoot,God of War IV, Guerrilla IP,Second SonDLC,Syphon Filter,The Last Guardian(yes we know it’s real but it’s worth mentioning), Media Molecule IP, Ninja Theory IP,PaRappa the Rapper,Demon’s Souls 2, Quantic Dream IP,Resistance,Ultra Street Fighter IV(we know of the game but I think it’ll get a PS4 port), andUncharted 4.
And I’m sure we’ll get a reminder that that Marvel showPowersis coming exclusively to PS4.
Anonymous:
I’m expecting a bit of a letdown from Sony’s conference, at least compared to last year. I don’t doubt that they’ll come out with some good games, but I’m not expecting the same level of hype from last year’s conference.
Also, in hindsight, last year’s conference wasn’t all that great. A lot of people remember it fondly because of them ripping MS a new one, but taken in a vacuum, one could make the argument that what they showed wasn’t overly impressive.
One thing I can guarantee though. There will be montages… lots and lots of montages.
GoofierBrute:
Considering the only reason Sony “won” E3 last year was because Microsoft locked itself in the car, Sony has to do more if they want to do good this year. Right now, it doesn’t look all that good for them, since their big game,The Order: 1886, was pushed to next year. Still, that doesn’t mean they’re out yet, it just means they have their work cut out for them.
As for games that I think we’ll see,Final Fantasy XVandKingdom Hearts IIIare a given, a demo ofDestinylikeCall of Dutywith Microsoft, plusUncharted 4and maybe someDriveClub. They might talk a bit about their VR, and of course the Playstation Vita will be forgotten, like it always is.
DeadnBuried:
I imagine we’ll see the newSyphon Filterby Sony Bend, a glimpse of Santa Monica’s next project, a full reveal of Guerrilla’s new IP, blowouts forThe Order: 1886andUncharted 4, and potentially some news from Quantic Dream or Media Molecule.
I imagine they’ll make some fuss for PS Now and Morpheus, but at this point I think they clearly understand that games matter more than features and media stuff.
Of course, the likes of Ubisoft and Square Enix will make an appearance too, likely withAC Unityand someFinal Fantasynews, respectively.
What I don’t expect: Vita announcements. This will be a PS4 show, to try and negate the positive buzz Microsoft makes earlier that morning, and they’ll likely talk more about the Vita at Gamescom, but even then I don’t expect much.
Kaleidoskull:
After announcingBully 2and showing offPersona 5gameplay, the stage will mysteriously go dark. Then, from the very heavens will descendThe Last Guardian. Crowd goes wild. And just as everybody collectively agreed that this was, indeed, the best E3 yet, Gabe Newell rolls out on stage. He doesn’t even need to say anything. Crowd. Goes. INSANE. No one survives.
Just in advance: Totally called it.
Romo Metaxxas:
Probably excitement and games that gamers would be really hyped for.
