The 90s are long gone, and SF is no longer a "big" franchise. It probably didn't cost that much as well, hence sony paying for it.

Even with a healthy lead, paying to have big console selling games exclusive is expensive... Has sony that sort of money to throw around?? I don't think that they have in all honesty

When you are outselling your competition almost two to one you don't need to pay much money to get exclusives games. Developers will come to you for them. Microsoft in the other hand has to pay a lot to get exclusives games.
 
Will Sony have a replacement for the holiday season now that Uncharted and Ratchet are delayed?

No, I expect a big push in third parties like Battlefront, MGSV and No Man's Sky and maybe Uncharted collection as well.

I expect the opposite, we have three extra conferences this year. It's possible they had to hold their own conference because Sony and Microsoft are focusing on first party.
 
Exactly. The potential IPs

Devil May Cry 5 - makes sense as Sony has the DMC fan base as the series started with PS2. Also this IP isn't a huge seller so it's a risk for Capcom but it is still quite popular

Metal Gear Rising 2 - same as above, though the series started before PS1 game, it was the PS1 game that made the series popular. With Konami moving away from console business, I don't see why they wouldn't mind Sony handling things for them

Phantasy Star Online 3 - Nova was a Vita exclusive. So I wouldn't be surprised if the next one was a PS4 exclusive.

The possibilities are endless. Maybe the next *gasp* Hyperdimension Neptunia game will be PS4 exclusive! I'm getting light-headed just at the thought of it.

The Tomb Raider outrage was, as far as I can see it, due to it being announced as a multiplatform game and *then* going backward into exclusivity. In contrast, SFV was a PS4 game only from the start.

But I agree SFV is just the beginning. I expect a lot of Japanese publishers will be dialing back their Xbox love this generation as Playstation hegemony is reinstated. They already are, frankly.

I meant in terms of the franchise as a whole going exclusive. Street Fighter has a history on both PlayStation & Xbox, and it going PS only (with PC) received a lot less outrage from the community. Maybe it's because PC is a viable alternative if one didn't want to pick up an opposing console, maybe it's because PS is the more popular platform, maybe it's Tomb Raider's history of being PS-only then moving to Xbox, I dunno. You are right however, I expect the 'unprecedented partnerships' to continue going forward.

The 90s are long gone, and SF is no longer a "big" franchise. It probably didn't cost that much as well, hence sony paying for it.

Even with a healthy lead, paying to have big console selling games exclusive is expensive... Has sony that sort of money to throw around?? I don't think that they have in all honesty

It depends. For both Sony (the deal maker) & any IP holder (say Capcom for example), it's all about balancing risk. Sony is the one taking the financial risk away from the IP holder, to try and secure and exclusive for their platform. I'd say it's more about how likely it is that the game will make a profit rather than how much money Sony has to throw at it, because the two partners will set the budget accordingly. With money from game sales as well as PS4 sales, if the title makes them a profit, they split the dough between themselves and both sides walk away satisfied.
 
Didn't see the new prediction template post, here's my answers for this one:

Will Sony have a replacement for the holiday season now that Uncharted and Ratchet are delayed?

I think there always was some game that was supposed to come out near Uncharted and revealed this E3, but nothing to "replace" it, no.
And no, Ratchet is not a big Holiday game.

What will the big show closers be?

MS: like last year, Phil thanking everyone and a big montage. Big game before that? New Gears.
Sony: Horizon or Uncharted. Possible montage as well.
Nintendo: Metroid or some Smash DLC.
Ubi: whatever their new IP they think is worth it this year.
S-E: is that a conference? FFXV
Bethesda: Fallout 4 teaser, certainly not releasing before 2016
EA: Battlefront big demo, like they did with Battlefield before.

Will Microsoft have another 3rd Party AAA moneyhat?

Don't like the term, but yes. Not a game that was supposed to be multiplat, exclusive from the ground up.

What will Ubisoft's bullshit fake demo be this year?

Won't say since I might know it, but the new IP they might decide to show at the end, as said above.

Will TLG show up this year?

This year, maybe, but certainly not at this E3.

Anything cool at the 3rd party shows?

S-E's western stuff (Deus Ex, Hitman, Tomb Raider, etc) will have great gameplay shown, and we might get some localizations
Bethesda's conference is disappointing, even for first timers standards
Lol Konami is just MGS, apologies and vague explanations
EA is like last year, but with games instead of prototypes
Ubi is even more cringe-worthy than usual. Still filled with plants

Nintendo?

wins again thanks to Treehouse, non disappointing stuff and a good all around show.

Other random nonsense.

Even more indies than usual that the big three will try to use as padding/support
Return of mid-tier devs/franchises
PC conference disappointing by not showing anything cool
Super secret show actually being good
Capcom and Namco somehow appear in every conference trying to show they are better than the other
some stuff behind closed doors leaks.
 
Sunset overdrive 2 please! Don't care if it's multi, I just want it.... Although I think that microsoft will be bank rolling this franchise from now though

The game sold awful.

I doubt MS want to bankroll another bomba, they got their exclusive for the holidays and will move on.

Also why are people so sure about an Uncharted collection at E3?
I mean sure it's a good idea for Sony but we've heard literally zero hints about it
and I don't know which external studio could handle such a massive project in such a short timeframe.

I think people bring this up as a counter to Halo MCC/any reason for PlayStation to have a "big" holiday 2015 exclusive.
 
I'm pulling really hard on Punch-Out!! 2

1. Hints dropped in the Nintendo Direct E3 teaser (Wii Boxing, Reggie in pink hoodie running behind Bill in red sweater on a bicycle)
2. Next Level Games' next game hasn't been announced as of yet
3. Punch-Out!! on Wii sold well
4. Little Mac is arguably more well-known a character right now than he has ever been in Nintendo's history

We don't know how much the game cost or how much it sold. We also don't know MS expectations for the game. A sequel can be green lighted

True. Maybe I exaggerate when I say it sold awful.
I don't remember it charting for individual SKU's only either on NPD.

If SO resurrects it'll be multiplat seeing as Insomniac owns the IP. (Think Titanfall)
The game couldn't have been a budget title.

B-b-b-but they had that survey! Where they asked multiple times if they should change the humor :(

Gonna keep the hope alive, but at what cost...

Well, that survey is news to me.

For the sake of people who enjoyed it, I hope it's still alive.
 
Will Sony have a replacement for the holiday season now that Uncharted and Ratchet are delayed?

I don't expect a big non remastered exclusive for 2015, no. Bloodborne DLC is all I need though.

What will the big show closers be?
Microsoft - Gears 4
Sony - God of War 4
Nintendo - New Mario
Bethesda - Fallout 4
Ubisoft - New Far Cry
EA - Mass Effect 4
Square Enix - Kingdom Hearts 3

Will Microsoft have another 3rd Party AAA moneyhat?

Don't think so.

What will Ubisoft's bullshit fake demo be this year?

None. Looking at that Syndicate reveal, they learned their lesson.

Will TLG show up this year?

If only.

Anything cool at the 3rd party shows?

Doom, Mirror's Edge 2, UbiART Prince of Persia, Deus Ex Mankind Divided, Hitman 6.

Nintendo?

As long as Star Fox impresses and Devil's Third kicks ass, I'm game.

Other random nonsense.

Scalebound for GotS and Phantom Pain for trailer of show.

Other random nonsense.

Suprising third party support for Morpheus (EA, Ubi) - with release window

What will the big show closers be?
Bethesda will end with a surprise DOOM beta available now.
MS will end on Halo 5

This is a terrible and obvious fake lol. The Xbox and Windows logos are way to big, and the Windows logo is blue. If It were official it would need much smaller and white or black.
Also the Xbox logo is never on top of Xbox lol

Will Sony have a replacement for the holiday season now that Uncharted and Ratchet are delayed?
No. Why is this even a question? Games cannot just suddenly be "replaced" on such short notice.

What will the big show closers be?
MS will end on a huge AAA 1st party exclusive (Banjo?) or a huge AAA 3rd party exclusive nobody saw coming
Sony will end with yet another trailer of UC4 or some other thing we've all seen multiple times and gotten bored of
Square Enix will end with KH3
Nintendo will end with Amiibos

Will Microsoft have another 3rd Party AAA moneyhat?
Yes and it'll probably be huge and spawn lots of salty threads here on GAF.

What will Ubisoft's bullshit fake demo be this year?
Every single game they show except for something on the level of Child of Light.

Will TLG show up this year?
TLG doesn't exist.

Anything cool at the 3rd party shows?
No.

Nintendo?
Amiibos

Other random nonsense.
Powers Season 2
 
Always love E3 fakes. I assume we are a week or two away from the "confidential MS Word table of all E3 announcements" stuff popping up.

Over the weekend I got half way through a Metal Gear Rising 2 starting Gray Fox developed by Ninja Theory fake but my ambition with it didnt match my photoshop skills.
 
General Questions:

Which game will get the longest trailer? Metal Gear Solid 5

Which game will get the longest on-stage demo? Uncharted 4
Who will have the longest conference? Sony
Who will appear the longest on stage during any of the conferences/presentations?
Will a on-stage demo suffer from technical difficulties/glitches? Yes.
How many games that has not been officially announced/revealed as of E3 will be announced/revealed (across all conferences/presentations)? 14
How many times will be the word “content” be said (across all conferences/presentations)? 80
How many Japanese games will be featured during the Sony Press Conference? 4 or 5
Will Nintendo reveal a game at the end of the Nintendo World Championships? Maybe
Will Phil Spencer wear a t-shirt featuring a logo of an old dead franchise during the Microsoft Press Conference? No

Challenge Questions:

Will The Last Guardian appear during the Sony Press Conference? No. I've said "Yes" every other stinking year, so maybe if I say "No" this year then they might, might just surprise me.
Will Zelda Wii U get a trailer? No
Will RARE reveal a new game that is NOT Kinect focused? No (I want to believe, but Rare is such a former shell of itself that it would not surprise me if it's a Kinect emphasized title)

Bonus GameTrailers Question:

Who will win the Final Bets of E3 2015 between Kyle Bosman and Michael Huber? Don't really care.
 
What will the big show closers be?
MS will end on a huge AAA 1st party exclusive (Banjo?) or a huge AAA 3rd party exclusive nobody saw coming
Sony will end with yet another trailer of UC4 or some other thing we've all seen multiple times and gotten bored of.

Yet another UC4 trailer? We only got that map reveal teaser and the E3 trailer last year. PSX was a demo, so the first gameplay trailer is yet to happen.

The fake lists are one of my favorite parts of E3 season. As dumb and obviously fake as they can be, they usually make for a fun read.
 
Will Sony have a replacement for the holiday season now that Uncharted and Ratchet are delayed?
Well, define replacement. Tearaway, uncharted remastered, until dawn, and No Mans sky will doubtless be highly touted.

What will the big show closers be?
MS on gears 4
Sony on uncharted or something completely out of left field


Will Microsoft have another 3rd Party AAA moneyhat?
I don't think so.

What will Ubisoft's bullshit fake demo be this year?
Something shooty

Will TLG show up this year?
Nope, its been cancelled, and the resources have been moved onto different stuff.

Anything cool at the 3rd party shows?
Square Enix should have some remasters I'll be into, and hopefully bravely the second!

Nintendo?
Metroid (please) pokemon (probably) something to tide the 3DS over till its replaced, and amiibos.

Other random nonsense.
Less than 120 seconds of vita talk, guarantee it.
 
Can't tell if Jomjom is trolling or serious. Someone help me out.

Serious about everything except the "amiibo" responses for Nintendo. I love amiibos and have all of them up to now, but I do feel that they've come to lean on that way too much as it's obviously making them a lot of money, so I'm a bit salty about that.

I feel like anything significant Sony will show will be at PSX and not at E3. Whereas, MS has no show like PSX and will therefore blow everything they've got at E3.

Also I'm tired of delusional people thinking (desperately hoping?) there will be something huge to magically replace UC4 and R&C for the holidays. That would be messed up to rush something out that was supposed to come out early next year to this holiday and shorten it's marketing campaign just to make up for the delays of those games.

I've had this conversation in other threads with people who kept claiming it's totally possible for a huge game that nobody has heard of to suddenly appear 5 months before release, but when asked for examples all I got were "LBP3" and "GT6". LBP3, a game not even made by its original developer is defined by literally no one as a big game capable of filling absences like UC4 and R&C. While GT6 was brought up well before its "official" announcement. Nobody could produce any more examples of big games announced only a short 5 months before they were scheduled to release.

Sony will likely fill their entire show with 3rd party marketing deals and LOTS of indies. I love indies so that's awesome. I feel like when I say this though, people for some reason treat it like some sort of slight. Maybe they hate indies?


P.S TLG really doesn't exist despite what Shu and Rohde want people to believe. I will not have my heart broken for, what the 8th time now?
 
Will Sony have a replacement for the holiday season now that Uncharted and Ratchet
Yes, not a big thing but some cool stuff

What will the big show closers be?
If Ubisoft will show us live gameplay of The division, running on PS4, it could be awesome, otherwise I think Fallout 4, Horizon and UC4

Will Microsoft have another 3rd Party AAA moneyhat?
Yes, but less than the last years.


What will Ubisoft's bullshit fake demo be this year?
Ubisoft will be better this year, not great but also not bad.


Will TLG show up this year?
Yes ! Shu will announce it, crowd goes wild, twitter will explode, gaf will be destroyed, Haters gonna die. WE ARE ALL HAPPY

Anything cool at the 3rd party shows?
Bethesda Stuff, like Doom & F4

Nintendo?
pls understand.

Other random nonsense.
VR will be a big thing this year also I think Sony will let fall some bombs
 
Will Sony have a replacement for the holiday season now that Uncharted and Ratchet are delayed?

I think its to late at this point to announce a big AAA Game for holiday 2015 due the short time of marketing. However i am expecting some mid-tier announcements and Remasters.
The Uncharted Collection would be perfect at this moment
Gravity Rush Remaster on Ps4 or/and Beyond Two Souls.
Apart from that a heavy marketing with the 3rd Party Games. A white special designed Ps4 Stars Wars Bundle + exklusive DLC/Beta

What will the big show closers be?
Microsoft with Gears of War 4 Teaser/Trailer
Sony with Star Wars Battlefront or a Gran Turismo 7 Teaser/Trailer
Bethesda with Fallout 4
Square Enix with a short epic Final Fantasy 15 Trailer
EA with Titanfall 2 Teaser
Ubisoft with Watch Dogs 2

Will Microsoft have another 3rd Party AAA moneyhat?
Phil Spencer said that they will have a stronger focus on First Party Games at this E3...So i think the internal studio will be in the spotlight...Maybe they will do another shocker like that Tomb Raider Deal with Mirrors Edge/Doom/Deus Ex

What will Ubisoft's bullshit fake demo be this year?
Watch Dogs....an unimpressive AC Syndicate - maybe a new IP with CGI Trailer?.

Will TLG show up this year?
Yes i see a high chance this year

Anything cool at the 3rd party shows?
Im looking forward to the new announcements by Square Enix. A new Ip would be exciting.
Also new Infos on Deus Ex and Kingdom Hearts 3

Nintendo?
I don't know

Other random nonsense.
Hololens vs Morpheus. Which will impress more
 
Direct feed video of what is clearly an unannounced game
Pictures straight from the E3 show floor the day before

are acceptable to believe

otherwise...

IT'S FAKE
