E3 2017 - Hopes. Dreams. Predictions
- Thread starter Son Of Sparda
- Start date
I think we'll get our first footage of them and Sephiroth. Bonus points if we see Red XIII and a summon.
- Anything from From that isn't a remaster or new entry of a SoulsBorne game.
- Another Sony press-conference with god-tier production & music like last year.
- Halo 3: Anniversary & a 4K patch for MCC along with a definitive fix to the game.
- Both games announced for PC as well, includes cross-play for co-op & custom games
- Spyro Trilogy remastered or reboot
- God of War 1 & 2 remastered
- Metroid reboot
- Pokémon RPG for Switch
- Another great, anxiety-inducing horror IP announced by someone
- Dead Space Trilogy remastered
- OG Xbox games coming to gamepass
- A Battle Royale game from a prominent dev announced for consoles
- Fable reboot
- Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. No shitty camera angles this time.
- Lengthy gameplay from already announced games, mainly Cyberpunk 2077, RDR2, Spider-Man, FFVII Remake & State of Decay 2
Just off the top of my head

I hope for great new IP reveals like Horizon/Death Stranding.
But besides that I'm looking forward to:
Realistic:
Metroid
Pokemon Stars
Shenmue HD
DMC5
Sucker Punch's Game
Probably won't happen, but let me dream:
J&D and/or Sly Cooper on PS4, with a decent budget
Banjo on XB1, with a decent budget
New PG game (likely for Switch). I fully expect that so the game is not a "dream" by itself, just that it gets shown at this E3 already.
Bloodborne 2 / new Souls-like game from FS

Hope:
-Nintendo is actually goong 100% in with the Switch, with both home and portable developers united, with a big and varied catalogue of games;
-Sony stays on top with announcements, with unannounced exclusives and collaborations, hoping many are japanese games, and that its already announced games are coming soon
-Assassin's Creed Origins is actually a substantial soft reboot for the series
-EA doesn't show any goddamn "in developement" montages
-Square Enix seriously has put its shit together, with KHIII and FFVIIR shown and both coming soon(ish)

So before I write this down I should clarify what I consider the definitions to be for each of these categories. Hopes: Things I want to happen that are semi-likely to happen. Dreams: Things I want to happen that are SUPER unlikely. Predictions: Realistic expectations.
Sony:
Hopes: More Death Stranding and Shenmue III, Rez II (I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is more likely than you think), Bloodborne II.
Dreams: All of my hopes + DMC5 and a big budget new IP.
Predictions: A more restrained show compared to the last two years, but their lineup is in a good enough state that even showing stuff already announced would still make for a killer show.
Microsoft:
Hopes: A slate of games that are unique or at least have a good hook. Not a heavy reliance on existing franchises. Something new.
Dreams: Honestly, after Microsoft shanked Scalebound, I have been super pessimistic on them. I guess OG Xbox Backwards Compatibility with Jet Set Radio Future would help. Maybe an apology?
Predictions: A slate of very good looking games. Crackdown 3 will be a highlight that will sell Scorpios.
Nintendo:
Hopes: Mother 3, Metroid, Pokemon, and a great showing for Mario Odyssey.
Dreams: Again, kinda like my hopes, but Animal Crossing out this fall, Persona 5 + on the Switch, and a better VC system would rock my socks off. Beyond Good + Evil 2?
Predictions: A fun but conservative showing like E3 2013. Unlike that show, which was not enough to turn around the struggling Wii U, this show will do just fine.
Might edit this post later to add third parties.

Colony Wars is what I'm hoping for, is what I'm dreaming about every night and it is what I'm predicting to be revealed every year at E3 and other shows
So I'm going with COLONY WARS and I expect Sony to open this year with the orchestra playing a COLONY WARS track.
Did you know, that COLONY WARS will be 20 years old this year??1

Nintendo
Prediction: Focus on Mario and one big game announcement but only with the name (no gameplay or CG). Probably Metroid.
Dream: All major Nintendo games, from the NES to the Wii U, will come to the Switch.
Microsoft
Prediction: They will show the most amount of 3rd party games outside the ones Sony has locked with deals. Their 1st party showings will be coupled with a lot of Games as a service rethoric and it will be the looks of the 3rd party that will save that conference.
Dream: They will have 3 interesting new IP that focus on offline narrative and not on emergent gameplay.
Sony
Prediction: They will have 3 new unannounced games that focus on offline narrative and not on emergent gameplay.
Dream: At this point, it's very difficult to demand more from Sony on this department.

Should be a good one this year.
I'd like Sony to play catch up and rather than announce new title after new title I'd like them to focus on stuff theyve already announced. God of War, Death stranding, spiderman, Shenmue etc etc.
For Nintendo I'd like to see what kind of stuff the switch has in store. A better dashboard with stuff like Netflix would be cool as well as some announcements of big 3rd party franchises coming to the system.
Microsoft really need to announce new games, word seems to be getting around that the Halo, Gears and Forza games are being over done and people are getting tired. It would be great if they introduced some new games and kept with them. I'd also like them to go all in with game pass, make it work and make the subscription be a no brainer for people that own the system.

It's like on one hand you're right but then that sanji avatar completely invalidates it. Sad!
Wanna see The Last Guardian. One can dream.
Other than that
I don't feel like this is too much to ask for, except kingdom hearts maybe. Don't have high expectations.
On a serious note, I had been waiting for TLG so long, it feels wierd not to hope to see it at E3. FFXV too.
Other than that
- Kingdom Hearts 3
- Nino Kuni 2
- Pikmin 4 announcement
- Animal Crossing Announcement.

I'm hoping for some FFVII gameplay, some solid details about the gameplay systems and a release window. I'm expecting a short untranslated clip.
I'm hoping for some Kingdom Hearts III gameplay, story overview and a release window. I'm expecting the logo to show up in a montage.
I'm curious about the direction of God Of War. I'm expecting this'll get good coverage.
I'm hoping for a new FROMsoft IP. I'm expecting Bloodborne II.
I'm hoping for an interesting new InFamous title. I'm expecting a new IP I won't care about.
The big one: I'm hoping for Devil May Cry 5, in whatever shape it's in. I need the confirmation. I'm expecting either absolutely nothing, or DmC2. Either result would depress me.

My hopes is that Microsoft knocks it out of the park and Nintendo announces the Switch Virtual Console with a ton of games and/or the Super NES Mini.
This, and then they make it look stunning so everybody buys it and then we get a sequel.
Also: Perfect fucking Dark to close the show.

Can't wait to have Miyazaki's prophecy come true in that when they reveal their next game (be it Armored Core 6 or one of the new IP's they're developing) the internet will devolve into a fit of "WTF IS THIS SHIT...THIS AIN'T A SOULS GAME!!1!1!shift1one!!"
I'm more interested to hear the inevitable stories/tales of press attending E3 (which won't include myself, sadly, this year) and the potential frustration of having to deal with the even greater influx of "fans" now clogging up the venue floors and corridors - "smart" idea ESA. It was bad enough last year to get to appointments/meetings/hands-on based on the showfloor, so I dread to think what it will be like for anyone covering E3 this time. To anyone on GAF covering E3 as press, you have my condolence.

that's an awful logo.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 launches worldwide on December 1, 2017.
1 unannounced first-party title scheduled for release in October.

Unfortunately, I don't really care too much about Microsoft. With Remedy's new game apparently being multiplat there's not a lot MS has that interests me. I hope they prove me wrong tho, I love being surprised.
