Sony:
PS5 slim launches without direct drive. $299-$349 price point. Spider-Man 2, Blue point game, and heavy reliance on FFXVI, SFVI, and more remasters from PSP/DS/3ds/Vita.
Teaser for open world Uncharted reboot.
Court battle with MS over activision.
Xbox: S-T-A-R-Field. Forza, Red Fall, and a return to older casual titles like Full house poker or 1V100.
New Xbox series S with upgraded internals.
Court battle with Sony and governments over activision. After HEAVY concessions and MS greasing the palms of people, the deal will close.
While EVERYONE FOCUSES ON COD, bringing Blizzard into the fold for Gamepass PC could really make a compelling PC Gamepass.
Also the secret to this deal….Guitar Hero.
Finally…the most interesting, imo.
Nintendo…
ToTK, Fire Emblem, Kirby, Octopath2, and yet it still feels like there is something looming in the horizon.
New hardware? 2023? 2024? Most certainly in one of the years.
What route do they take? BC and Switch compatibility? Or a new concept without BC?
If new hardware… Red Dead 2, Madden, and COD.
If not…more psp/vita/3ds/ps2 ports to ride out the generation.
Does Nintendo experiment with HD2D?
Kingdom hearts (where you at?). Tekken? Ridge racer? Madden?
Lego soccer?
Will there be a new Mario to coincide with the movie?
…Finally…where the hell is Goldeneye?
If it doesn’t release soon…. Could Nintendo and MS be bringing the remake with proper online play and cross play instead? Was the feedback so controversial, did it give them all pause and make them reconsider?
