Topic: All-Encompassing E3 2017 Thread

Woah! Already???

@Luna_110 Thanks for the info, didn't know all the details. But if they only had seen the logo, I can understand why they would call it "Cross Cross".

I agree that it doesn't make 100% sense. But I'm also positive it's not DMC either. The game is supposed to be bigger in scope than RE7 and is expected to sell around 4 million copies. The best selling DMC was the first game with 3 million copies back in 2001. Subsequent releases have sold worse. DmC:DMC never broke a million copies on an individual platform. On top of that, Ninja Theory recently confirmed all of this by saying DMC is put on the back burner due to low sales.

And I can't see Capcom taking a big risk on a new IP either. A new IP is never going to sell that well.

Told myself I wouldn't do any of these this year, but I couldn't resist...

@Tsurii Don't worry, that won't last more than a few days anyway

I wrote 24 predictions down (the middle one is free space) and I used a RNG to randomly place them on the chart, but all the Nintendo stuff ended up in row 3 and even the two Ubisoft predictions ended up next to each other. It was random though.

@Tsurii Well, yeah, they're bold predictions. Mother 3 has appeared on every Bingo chart, so I decided to include it anyway, even though it has zero chance of appearing at E3. However, I do believe that Reggie said, when asked about Metroid and Mother 3, ''ask that question again next year'' or something. Who knows though?

DLC for Horizon could work.. Many people expect it, so that's why I included it. I think there's a fair chance we won't get DLC. The ending pretty much hinted at a sequel, so I think they're going straight to Horizon 2. Unless it's some spin-off side quest type of DLC. I don't think they're going to add a new map, so in that case it'll probably be like Hearts of Stone. That's OK I guess, but I really want some new stuff, new machines, so I'm hoping for a sequel instead.

@DarthNocturnal Everyone expects an SNES Mini, so it won't happen

EA conference is tomorrow... so we should see some switch fifa gameplay right?

@Qwertyninty Hah, nope. Apparently the EA conference last year was around 25% game footage and 75% genuflecting. There's no way they would show Fifa looking even a modicum worse than bleeding edge. EA isn't a developer on Nintendo systems anymore, so you won't see much of anything for Switch.

EA E3 2017 Press Conference Start Time

I'm thinking EA won't show the Switch version today. They probably don't want it detracting from the main version. I can see it being shown during Nintendo's Direct, but just a brief glimpse and then it'll disappear until just before release. I think its stench is so bad they don't want to scare everyone away before launch. We'll see.

Maybe footage from EA's event, not from their press conference. And if the Switch version is gimped, you can bet they are going to try to hide until they can sale it.
Good old EA. It's a damn shame they have the Star Wars license, LucasArts put out decent games in the past.

A few photos of the Nintendo E3 booth being set up.

@Haru17 I was about to say the same in the Switch thread. Find your own source!

Who is ready for E3 2017

Did any of you see this: http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/e3.aspx

Three unannounced games coming to Switch confirmed. One is the Rabbids game, but what are the other two?

@shadow-wolf They're stupid placeholders, just so they can have five of them in a row.

@Octane

I mean idk about that. Xbox has 2, Switch has 3. I think they're legit games that will be announced at E3. Preorders do have to open up right after so it's possible retailers would be briefed on the games before they're announced.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Hmm... that's very interesting. It looks Nintendo is building New Donk City.

I haven't been here in a while, but I'm done with my gap year and I've been accepted to grad school now, so I have a bit of time.

Here are my Nintendo E3 predictions (Mario Odyssey excluded)

1. Mario X Rabbids Kingdom Battle
2. Retro new IP (more on the family friendly side; Spring 2018)

I think the springtime release date is key here, because E3 is key for Nintendo to announce their upcoming spring titles. For several years there have been at least 2 major titles in the spring that were known of before or during E3 the prior year

3. Pikmin 4 (2018)

The Pikmin team hasn't done anything since Mario Maker, and we already know this game exists.

4. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 delayed to spring 2018

5. No silly skits. Very high concentration of news

6. Fire Emblem Warriors trailer

7. Splatoon 2 heavy info blowout

8. Skyrim info and release date- I think Bethesda will leave this to Nintendo, rather than putting that news in their conference

9. (Maybe) One more Wii U port for 2018.

I think Nintendo is lying their butts off with the "mostly 2017" thing. Their 2017 schedule is already filled with announced games and ports. There isn't very much to talk about there. On the flip side, 2018 is incredibly foggy, and there needs to be new info for that first half.

Well.. EA's presentation has to be one of the worst I've seen in quite some time. Really bad start for this year's E3.

I hope other publishers do a much better job.. it can only get better from here I hope.
