Big E3 shockers that would light up the boards

Courage said:
Microsoft upgrades the Xbox's specs.
Click to expand...

yup.

people can blather all they want but at the end core cares about where the rubber meets the road, and that's hardware power. that would be the biggest megaton of them all. just like how 8gb gddr5 won sony's reveal easily imo. it meant 10x as much as every software they showed combined.

although the only problem is an xbox upgrade would possibly be revealed 5/21 not e3.

Sony
- GT6 for the PS3

Both are already rumored so I don't think it would really "light" up the board. At this point a all digital 360 for $99 is not really surprising. GT6 on PS3 (and likely PS4) is not entirely surprising as well. If they up the graphics on the PS4 version even higher than the PS3 version that likely would draw people to purchase the game twice over the PS4's life. People would/will buy the PS3 version until they do buy the PS4. People are pretty devoted to GT so buying it twice would not phase most people. See GT5 + GT5 Prologue.
 
PlayStation:
PS3 backwards compatibility add on-$99
Final Fantasy 14 exclusive to the PS4
Final Fantasy 10&10-2 HD cross gen playable on PS4.
Sony/Oculus partnership. PlayStation branded Oculus rift in 2014.
PS4 $399 price point, $199 subsidized with 2 year PS+ contract.
Sony/Valve partnership. PS4 is a steambox.

Microsoft announces that everyone's gamerscore gets reset to 0 upon the release of the next Xbox.

The amount of nerdrage generated for something so utterly worthless as arbitrary internet points would be unprecedented.

That said, I am praying to God it happens so I can read the fallout threads.
Click to expand...

I hope it happens lol. Oh god, these E3 threads crack me up just imagining people flip shit over some of this stuff.
 
Who would really flip out because of a new Uncharted game?...


-Steam complete library shared with Xbox marketplace. Xbox classics on Steam/PC Halo Trilogy on PC
 
I think the any presence of a new Zelda at all would create a gigantic thread with endless over-speculation.

Look at the reactions a portable Zelda created.

The meltdowns would be soooo worth it.
Click to expand...

it wouldn't be so much meltdowns given the state of the wii u at this point, as utter befuddlement. sort of like announcing half life 3 is ouya exclusive.

anyways for some reason some sort of final fantasy playstation exclusive keeps popping in my head when i read this thread title. thats one of the very few realistic options to go exclusive left (if it even is realistic, which it's probably not if you think too hard, simply because dev costs on a ff title must be insane and it'd seem like they'll wanna recoup that on every platform possible)
 
Anyone:

0. Capcom does something good. (Viewtiful Joe with Platinum, Megaman Anything, POWER STONE)

1. Shenmue 3 Exclusive/Timed Exclusive/Sega likes us so we're showing it off here although it'll be out for everyone.

2. That everyone includes PC.

Sega:

1. That everyone includes a new Sega console. Or it's just for a new Sega Console.

Nintendo:

1. I repeat, they have Kamiya at gunpoint to announce a new Star Fox.

2. New game in F-Zero, Metroid, etc. series.

3. They make people realize they've been churning out new IPs for a while now.

Microsoft:

1. They do something unusual.

2. It's free to play online on 360 now.

Sony:

1. More Parappa

2. Cheap memory cards

Bayonetta 2 being announced as a Wii U exclusive shook the internet, Final Fantasy Versus XIII as a Wii U exclusive releasing this Holiday would break the internet.
 
This happening:

332642571_cgjQv-L-2.jpg


But with a rotation: Nintendo is Sony, Sony is Microsoft, and Microsoft is Nintendo.
 
I can say that anything Valve, Final Fantasy, Shenmue related is bound to make GAF go freaking crazy.

If Valve announces HL3 with a in-game trailer, we might lose the site for some good time.
 
Can we get a Type-0 Translation announcement for the PSVITA? Would be interesting if that is the "Final Fantasy" announcement and everyone was wrong about Versus.
 
MS
No always online
Backwards compatibility
Free online play with everything else left in current payed format
Lots of good first party game

Sony

isn't Bayonetta a very small IP sale number wise and and almost irrelevant outside of the action fans and PG fans?

Final Fantasy in a huge decline too (mostly because how badly SE handled the IP),I don't think it will shock people like it was before FFXIII got released

Vita plans were scrapped. Tabata clarified this.

3DS would make the most sense.

Unless that FF for PS4 is a Type series rehaul.
 
Shenmue 3 WiiU exclusive

WiiU name change to differentiate from Wii

We find out Versus was scrapped in order to develop Kingdom Hearts 3 (lol people would have a shit ton of mixed feeling about this).

Because of the massive backlash towards Gears Judgment, Epic decides to "revamp" the series by making it first person.

Because of all the hype around Man of Steel, Rocksteady announces Superman game.

Marvel Vs. Capcom 4

Killer Instinct 3 Nextbox exclusive

Conker 3 Nextbox exclusive

Zone of the Enders 3 WiiU or Nextbox exclusive

Capcom Vs. SNK 3

New IP from Rockstar

I keep forgetting that this is an actual possibility.
Click to expand...

Is it really? I keep thinking Sony is the most likely, but it would be such a megaton. I mean, this thing is making a lot of waves for both gaming enthusiast and casual passerbys. This could easily crush Kinect/Intelliroom/Gamepad IMO.

And just as easily, I can imagine interactive movies become a medium.

Wasn't Sony working on a similar Oculus of their own? Is this not what the Move can be used in tangent with?

I am so curious about Oculus Rift on next gen platforms.

Bayonetta is a very small IP and it shook the internet, Final Fantasy may be on a decline but it's still a big IP, Final Fantasy Versus XIII would get Bayonetta like reactions but 10x more.

Who wants more of the same?
I hope they follow the past two gens by phasing out series in favor of a new IP.
Crash, Jak, Uncharted -> ??? would be infinitely better
 
How about Alan Wake 2 using Illumiroom (not my idea, stole it from another thread) or a new Killer Instinct using Kinect 2.0 and it actually works?

most of these are very good lol. would definitely light up the boards.

ooh, i have one, nintendo announces something along the lines of wii u was a "transitional console", and while they will continue to support it (wink wink) their true next gen effort is coming and will be fully revealed at E3 2014...

Click to expand...

$199 is definitely a shocker, though unlikely. I can see a $50 price drop. If Nintendo doesn't announce an official price reduction for Wii U, that would be pretty damn shocking to me. Mario kart and/or Mario platform releasing this Fall would surprise me.. Though I'm sort of expecting one AAA Nintendo game to come out this Fall, other than Windwaker HD..


Footage of smash bros isn't really a shocker. We're all expecting it, and Sakurai himself confirmed there will be a trailer of some sort at E3. 'd be more shocked if we got a playable demo at E3 showfloors, and a Fall 2013/Nov-Dec release.
 
Ballmer opens the Xbox event by introducing Mocrosofts latest employee... J Allard.

Then he walks on stage and they embrace and fireworks explode around them.
 
Seems everything is covered.
Only group I can think of is Capcom since they didnt have captivate. I'm guessing well see these from capcom


Dead Rising 3 -Cross Gen Game
Resident Evil Outbreak HD
Capcom Vancouver's new IP
More Details on Deep Down (possibly becomes Dragons Dogma 2)
New Megaman something

Now how big a deal those will be I don't know.
But I just wanted to throw my guesses out there.
