Ok let me give this a try.
What I think is likely to happen:
smash Bros announcement.
more info on the paid online for Nintendo.
sneak peak at the Pokemon rpg which probably won't launch this year.
Kh3 megaton.
Ff7 remake disappoints.
That samurai game from sucker punch.
Tlou 2 extended gameplay.
Spiderman extended gameplay.
MP4 gameplay
Beyond good and evil gameplay.
What's likely to not happen:
Microsoft dropping any megatons.....EA too now that I think about it. I hope Microsoft proofs me wrong.

The Bethesda-thread inspired me to some more third party E3 predictions (Switch-related):
Bethesda:
- a new multiplatform game that releases same day on all systems
- unlikely: cooperation with Nintendo - an exclusive wrpg. Maybe a Zelda-spinoff or revival of RetroStudio's Raven Blade
Square Enix:
- DQ11 reveal trailer for Switch-version (same as PS4-version), releasing same day in the West. Features orchestral sound and voice acting in the West
- new FFCC game
Namco Bandai:
- Ridge Racer is probably real
- Code Vein-port
- SAO Fatal Bullet-port
- God Eater 3-port
Ubisoft:
- another showing of their space game with real toys
- some Assassin's Creed
- Mario Rabbids 2
EA:
- new FIFA (maybe with proper online and story-mode this time?)
- Mass Effect trilogy (I'd love it!)
Activision Blizzard
- Call of Duty
- Diablo 3
- Overwatch
Konami:
- Silent Hill: Shattered Memories 2
Capcom:
- Okami HD (surprise ...)
- crappy RE port

I know Last Of Us 2 Story will be amazing so i don't care if i see nothing from it but.....i would love to hear/see about factions multiplayer returning.
Cyberpunk of course, want to see how they do combat.
I'd love a new elder scrolls with totally revamped combat that blows me away but chance of that is close to zero, think they will show new IP
Shadows Die Twice fully revealed with game play would be awesome.

There seems to be a lot of talk/rumors with Microsoft lately, so hopefully there will be a big announcement at E3, possibly news before then that will lead into it. As to what that is, who knows at this point as the rumors are all over the place. I'm excited for the possibilities though and I think with the recent momentum from the X, the Gamepass, and general direction it seems as though it's pointing to something fairly major to be announced. Hopefully anyhow.
I could see a RDR X Enhanced announced at E3 alongside the RDR2 gameplay trailer. And like mentioned above, I think a Mass Effect trilogy remaster or X Enhanced of the first one at the least is likely.
Seems unlikely. Sounds like it'll be all about Starfield this year.

XBOX
The rumors are true:
- New Fable game from a UK studio announced
- New Perfect Dark game from Coalition + another studio announced (using much of the tech Coalition was working on for their tech/spy game before Gears 4)
- Crackdown 3 4 player co-op shown
- Forza Horizon Japan announced
- Age of Empires IV announced
- MechAssault or Mechwarrior announced
- New "high player count" Halo game/mode (PubG style?)
My (for fun) speculation:
- GamePass renamed to XBOX FUNPASS (now includes access to a growing library of video content, such as the still rumored Spielberg Halo series)
- Xbox XTRA FUNPASS is $15 month, includes XBOX GOLD and maybe another perk
- Ori and the Will of the Wisp is so hauntingly beautiful it elicits unparalleled man-tears across the internet.
- A new XBOX streaming model is defined as part of GamePass (FUNPASS, rather), accessible on PCs, tablets and smartphones.
- Gears 5 is announced, looks perty
- Halo 6 is shown and Chief is the only playable character, a Cortana reunion is implied, Covenant forces are heavily featured, takes place ON A HALO

I think Sony's non-megaton conference last year means they will have one this year.

Likely:
Halo 6
OMFGMEGATON:
Phil Spencer: “You know how we are fixing Master Chief Collection? It will now be called The Halo Collection. Revamped, new UI, now including Halo Reach, and in September a better late than never Halo 3 Anniversary which can be launched through The Halo Collection... Free for original buyers of the game as our thanks for putting up with our bullshit... also Halo 6 will be a classic Halo with classic gameplay, art, music, movement, split screen and campaign... Beta included with Crackdown 3.”
*Mic drops*
