Topic: E3 2021 Predictions!!!

@TheJGG Well Microsoft, Google and Amazon are all in the cloud game now. The probem for Luna and Stadia has been no big exclusives and Game Pass is still in beta but it could take off when it's ready to go.

Some people complain about it's just a game rental service and they want to own the games but I see the bigger problem is that not enough people have a good enough internet for cloud gaming, it's a future thing.

I’m surprised y’all are talking about a cloud version of FF7 yet and haven’t made the blatantly obvious pun.

My only hopes, but not really predictions are anything FF related, resident evil related, metroid and DK related, and most importantly botw2 release date info. Everything else would be additional goodies.

I feel like a bit of an idiot now. May as well call it the Strife Edition because of how much of a pain in the bum it’s gonna be.

Nintendo - I think Bayo 3 and BotW2 will be their main big showings. A few new announcements and another big trailer for Skyward Sword, possibly showing more new features for it.

Sony - We'll definitely see another trailer for Horizon 2. Possibly a teaser for God of War 2. Probably something completely new as well.

Xbox- Halo Infinite and Starfield. I expect Xbox to "win" the show with these 2, both of which should be quite impressive. Although Nintendo might be quite competitive.

Square Enix- another FF16 trailer. The next Tomb Raider announced.

@Dezzy Sony don't do E3 anymore, they probably have an event of some sort lined up though.

@jump

Lol, oh yeah, not sure how I forgot that. Being absent minded.

I'm sure they'll do a State of Play around the same time though, so the prediction probably still applies in practice.

Starts with Dr Eggman in Smash.
Kirby
Bayonetta 3
Mario Party
Donkey Kong
Splatoon 3
Monolith’s new IP, coming 2022
Ends with BoTW 2, tentatively scheduled for December, but Nintendo knowing it will probably release in spring.

@Munchlax that would be a fun e3, for me at least.

I can see that happening. Or they could just say something vague like "coming this winter", that way it could be either December, or late Feb 2022.

I did forget to add that I'd love anything xenoblade added to the switch. I guess this has turned into more of an E3 wishlist thread than prediction thread for me 😋

Namco Museum Vol. 2
Ridge Racer
Cyber Sled
Starblade
Tekken
Soul Edge

Hmm...maybe that should be Vol.3. I suppose 2 would be more

Pac Land
Pole Position
Xevious
Mappy
Dragon Spirit
Ordyne

Oh so you don't have to deal with the updates?

That's cool if true but my main thought is I really hope major games on other consoles also do this, because I've heard so much about how miserably terrible the updates on some PS4 games were (not sure how much PS5 has or hasn't improved in this regard).

Doesn't look like silksong will be at E3. At least we're warned ahead of time.

I think that Silksong will soon have taken longer from announcement to release than Hollow Knight itself.

So Nintendo just dropped trailers for Mario Golf, Skyward Sword & Miitopia plus released some more NSO games I wont ever play, what rubbish E3 announcements! ;p

@jump The more this happens the less known content is shown at E3. Do it, do it, do it moooooooooooooooore!

@TheJGG Or they will run out of things to show so they start talking about how the latest update brings stability to the Switch for 30 mins! ;p

Did not know that was a thing. Very cool

@jump I agree with @TheJGG as this looks like cleaning the house of boring stuff because they have a full show regardless. HYPE TRAIN! (also let's lower our expectations in order to not be disappointed )
