IntelliHeath

As in "Heathcliff"
I decided to do 2 different countdown picture today because I really like both art style since they're pretty distinct. And I have hard time to decide which one to go with.

Well, last year's press conference was widely known as the press conference of "Dreams," given that it contained The Last Guardian, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Shenmue III. (Also, there was an actual game called Dreams.) GopherD, a known Sony insider, says "Challenge accepted" to Y2Kev, who says he doesn't see how this year's press conference can possibly live up to last year's, and goes on to write a poem about how it will be "Dreams 2.0," through which he hints at it being an onslaught of titles showing everything Sony has in order to provide an exciting show while disregarding marketing schedules and spacing out reveals.

Hmm. Seems too good to be true, honestly. Sony loves revealing things late, so this would be a nice surprise if they just go all-out and give a killer showing and get everyone, with varying tastes, excited.

What could possibly happen (or I guess a dream) is that Microsoft could announce a "Alexa/Google Home" competitor that connects to your Xbox One wirelessly and has a 360 degree "Kinect" camera. It would do the same things as the other devices but can do things to help you in games with voice. The 360 Kinect camera is for the login stuff. Obviously that's a wild speculation (probably 100% not going to happen)

Call me crazy but I feel like Destiny 2 is a game they would probably save for PSX and let it be the closer.
I'm also hoping that's the case deep down, there is already like 7 minutes wasted on Call of Duty lol.

Is it even confirmed they're going to have PSX this year?

Too many games to list I'd want to hear about, but from top of my head I just want to hear about what they're doing with FromSoft next and Persona 5 & TLG release dates.

Adam Boyes said that PSX would be annual at the very first PSX so even if they haven't announced it yet, it's coming.

Why do people act like Playstation Now is the reason they don't do backwards compatibility? The PS4 is *not* capable of playing PS3 games. It's not possible. This has been rehashed to death, it cannot be done!

Sigh. Playstation Now is just a way to offer access to those games, and it isn't even primarily targeted at PS4 owners, it's way more lucrative to offer it to people without game consoles, through devices like smart TVs and the like.

PS1 playback though, I'd like to see. Just because I have a big library of those on my Vita already I'd like to roll forward.

Its kinda hard to predict Microsoft E3.

Hard??
It's totally easy.

Gears of War 4 will be their main showcase title.
Since they have got the marketing rights to BF1 expect a big live demo of that game.
They have to talk about Halo Wars 2, the Rare pirates game, new Forza, Crackdown 3.
They need to disclose wtf happened to Recore, they might give an update about Scalebound.
Add to that indies, some third party demos/world premieres+ non gaming Win10/Live related stuff and the conference is done.
Of course they will try to bring a couple of surprises but 90% of their conference is pretty obvious.
They might cut the price to 299$ permanently to try to get rid of current inventory if a slimlined/upgraded model is coming this fall.
 
Jurassic World game announced for PC and Consoles. Open world, great visuals on Unreal Engine 4, filled with tons of fan service Easter Eggs and canon expansion. It will take place of Isla Nublar, and bridge some of the gap between JP and JW.

It ends up being f2p 'MMO' lite action, with okish gameplay and next to no single player experience.

Nope. I don't think so, unfortunately. It's probably going to be Battletoads.

My hopes:

Sucker Punch's next game
Infamous Remastered Collection
Playstation All-Stars "sequel"
Suicide Squad

At least one of these will complete E3 for me.

Yes to all of these. Would be an amazing E3 for me if those show up. Especially the All-Stars sequel.

Curious about the Dreams 2.0 thing cuz I'm not sure what other "mythical" games that a realistic chance of happening are left.

Crash is the obvious one. Devil May Cry 5 maybe?

I know Disney Interactive won't be there but maybe we'll get more Kingdom Hearts 3 info from Square and maybe a release date for 2.8? Is Square having a conference?

We could get a date for 2.8 snce it still scheduled for this year and no SE isn't doing a conference.

Because reasons, people tend to forget that PS3 ran Cell and its extremely hard to emulate even today, and because PSNow exist people seem to believe its feasible for a PS4 to emulate PS3 games.

They did that what.. once? With Portal 2? Or did they also do it with L4D2 via conference? I don't remember.

They did it for both L4D games and Portal 2. They go to E3 when they have something, but they don't have their own conference obviously.

EDIT: They also shown off CS:GO at E3. Didn't know about that one.

L4D2 was at the MS press conference, IIRC.

Thanks. Were they actually listed in the vendor section at E3 when they used other dev's conferences for their reveal? Don't remember.
