I'm almost sure that's when he takes the ring, and runs off.

Yep.

It is what is. Could be worse(fully exclusive). I doubt I will be anxiously awaiting a $60 late port though.

My guess is either 6 months or 1 year.

PvZ: GW was exclusive for 6 months.

Dead Rising 3 went to PC after 1 year.

Ryse went to PC after 1 year.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Sunset Overdrive hit PC once the year mark is up for them.
 
Thank you guys solving the puzzle with those screen shots... it really sucks that folks are trying to troll the official prince of persia forums.

I expect 6 months, but that puts in the Uncharted 4 release window plus The Division, Mirror's Edge, SFV and Ratchet & Clank. ROTR goes from Day 1 if not timed to bargain bin.
 
I've given it some thought and I think I've finally settled on my final predictions. I think this is largely realistic, with a little bit of wishful thinking.

Bethesda
  • Fallout 4 - Confirmed to appear
  • Doom - Confirmed to appear
  • Dishonored 2 - It's been three years and Arkane have been doing shit all since. The first game was way too popular for a sequel not to be made. I feel that this will be their surprise announcement now that Fallout 4 is already out there.
  • BattleCry - Haven't heard anything in months. While I wouldn't be surprised if it's been canned, I think a re-reveal or console announcement might happen.
  • Elder Scrolls Online Expansion Pack - Seems likely if they are actually banking on the game.
  • Skyrim Remastered - Pretty much the biggest remaster that hasn't happened yet. Potential conference opener.

Microsoft
  • Minecraft: Story Mode - Planned for a 2015 release with nothing shown yet, being a Microsoft IP, seems likely it will show up here.
  • Halo: Reach for MCC - Can't see it not happening, and I doubt they'll wait for much longer.
  • Halo 5: Guardians - Pretty much confirmed.
  • Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 - Pretty much confirmed.
  • Rise of the Tomb Raider - Cinematic trailer here, gameplay demo at the Square Enix conference. Maybe switched.
  • Gears of War: Ultimate Edition - Almost definitely. Wouldn't be surprised to see them launch it on the day.
  • New Gears of War - Seems likely after last years tease and the recent renaming after Black Tusk. Will probably be their final announcement.
  • Mini Studios - Apparently Kudo Tsunoda is overseeing all of Microsoft's little studios like Twisted Pixel and Press Play and will be at E3. I expect a couple of smaller titles announced.
  • ALL THE ID@XBOX - The ID@XBOX sizzle reels they did last year were fucking great. More please.
  • Forza Motorsport 6 - Almost definitely.
  • Age of Empires IV/Reboot - Decisive Games are apparently working on a beloved strategy IP, seems to obviously be Age of Empires. A long shot, probably not remotely ready.
  • Fable Legends - Not long out. Probably a trailer and a release date.
  • Undead Labs' Class4 - We've known about it for a while, apparently it'll be an MMO. I'm expecting Nation of Decay.
  • Banjo-Threeie - If Rare are actually working on a "proper" game, I can't see it not being a new Banjo. Battletoads seems unlikely. Maybe they'll give it to Twisted Pixel.

Ubisoft
  • Assassin's Creed: Syndicate - Pretty much confirmed
  • Rainbow Six: Siege - Almost definitely
  • The Division - Release date will probably be announced. Can't see people caring about this if another delay occurred.
  • Just Dance 2016 - Depressingly likely.
  • Watch Dogs 2 - Quite likely. Can't see them abandoning the franchise, even if reception for the first wasn't fantastic. Potentially just a CG trailer featuring a new city and character.
  • Ghost Recon Reboot - I would wager that they would just straight up reboot Ghost Recon if they did make another. Honestly, Ubisoft have so many studios I don't see why they wouldn't be working on a follow-up.
  • Hero - Seems to definitely be their big new IP. Expect it at the end.

EA
  • Mirror's Edge: Catalyst - Pretty much confirmed.
  • Star Wars: Battlefront - Pretty much confirmed.
  • Need for Speed - Pretty much confirmed.
  • Sports Bollocks - Of course.
  • Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 - Will probably show up here too.
  • That thing from the people that made Brothers - Was announced at The Game Awards. Maybe too early for another look but I can't see them waiting forever.
  • Criterion's thing - It was a bit made last year, so I would imagine an actual partially made video game might be officially announced this year. Expect a name, maybe a vague date.
  • Titanfall 2 - It's been just over a year since the first game I think, or around that. If they shoot for a similar date, that'll give them two years to stick in a decent campaign and make it multiplatform. If that happens, E3 2015 seems like a viable announcement time.
  • Mass Effect Trilogy - Seems pretty likely if they want the choices of the games to effect the new one in any way. Gives people who never played the game the chance to.
  • New Mass Effect - Almost definitely their big announcement.

Sony
  • Day of the Tentacle: Special Edition - Trailer and a release date following the PSX announcement.
  • New LucasArts Remake - Following the example set by the DOTT announcement, they'll announce a new Tim Schafer-led LucasArts remake. If they do Full Throttle I will probably combust.
  • Sony Bend's Horror Game - Been rumored for a while, and they haven't shown anything in four years. Seems about time.
  • Hunger - Tarsier's new game was revealed not long ago. Likely being shown here.
  • Firewatch - I honestly doubt Sony would let this one go. Expecting it to be the 'big deal indie' like No Man's Sky was last year.
  • ALL OF THE INDIES - Of course.
  • The Dark Sorcerer/Quantic Dream Project - Seems possible. I don't think The Dark Sorcerer is their actual game project, but it might be. I'm expecting another major actor as the protagonist. Wouldn't be surprised to see Beyond PS4 either.
  • Horizon - Almost has to happen. I would be a bit sad if we didn't see a bunch of people fighting mech dinosaurs with medieval tech.
  • Gran Turismo Sports - Seems to be leaked, although not a strong rumour. Potentially a Forza Horizon competitor.
  • Uncharted 4 - Almost a definitive appearance. Possibly a look at Uncharted 3 as part of the collection too.
  • Street Fighter V - Probably a new character reveal, maybe multiple.
  • New Killzone - Guerilla Cambridge are almost definitely making a new Killzone. Potential appearance.
  • PixelOpus Project - A small project announced to be available immediately like Entwined.
  • The Last Guardian - You know it.

Nintendo
  • New Mario - Seems likely, haven't seen one in a while. Maybe Mario Galaxy 3 but that's a long shot.
  • Yoshi's Woolly World - Quick trailer before release.
  • Devil's Third - Quick trailer before release.
  • Unfucking Up Amiibo - This is more a pipe dream than everything. That's not a Mario pun.
  • Fire Emblem If - Probable, after it's recent announcement.
  • Xenoblade Chronicles X - I'm expecting a release date, it's been a while.
  • Animal Crossing U - Honestly surprised it hasn't happened yet.
  • Smash Bros. DLC - After than ballot it's almost certain, although I think there is a Smash direct before Nintendo's event. Either way, I'm expecting Waluigi.
  • Mario Maker - Quick trailer before release. Maybe a new style revealed. Maybe they'll go crazy and add 3D.
    They wont.
  • Star Fox - Was apparently coming before Zelda when Zelda was a 2015 release and we've seen shit all. Almost a certain appearance.
  • New Metroid - It's been seven very long years (fuck off Other M) and we haven't seen a new Metroid game. Metroid Prime 4 seems to be the likeliest candidate.

Square Enix
  • Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - We'll almost definitely see some gameplay and a new trailer.
  • Rise of the Tomb Raider - Cinematic trailer at the Microsoft conference, gameplay demo here. Maybe switched.
  • New Hitman - Seems ready to be revealed.
  • Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness - I still can't believe this game exists.
  • Final Fantasy XII HD - Because of course they will.
  • Final Fantasy XV - Lol
  • Kingdom Hearts 3 - Lol

Ghost Recon Reboot - I would wager that they would just straight up reboot Ghost Recon if they did make another. Honestly, Ubisoft have so many studios I don't see why they wouldn't be working on a follow-up.
I think we'll see Future Soldier 2 this year. I remember this popping up in late 2012, and I wouldn't be surprised by an announcement.

What are the odds Bethesda teases a new Wolfenstein game? It seems like New Order sold well enough and both it and Old Blood got average to good reviews.

I'd love to see MachineGames follow up on New Order.
 
Looks very Middle Earth like. D:

Was just about to say that. It looks like Celebrimbor.

I'd love to see a Dishonored Complete Edition remaster for PS4/XB1.
 
I think Media Molecules next IP will be at E3 personally. Along with GGs new IP, Level 5s project and QDs project.

Wouldn't shock me to see new stuff from Sucker Punch also

And of course the next Sony Japan project along with TLG

Switch Sucker Punch with Sony Bend and then I agree. Week I think QD will be at PGS

Oh god, UC4 demo -> MM's new game -> GG's horizon -> QD's game -> Bend's game -> Sony Japan -> Level 5. I don't think I can survive after that.
 
On the topic of scouring for trademarks, SCEA's listing for 'Nathan Drake Collection' just popped up.

So yeah, they probably cleaned their act, and chances of unannounced trademarks dropping before E3 isn't high.

Yeah browsed through all of the interesting candidates and found nothing.
 
I'm getting the feeling Nintendo will be very light this year, which I suppose isn't surprising since last year seemed to be a blowout year, I'm expecting a number of re-reveals and a lot of Amiibo. Not really sure what I expect from MS and Sony, probably a normal year of AAA, long-term vaporware trailers with 1 or 2 interesting games. Sony's conference will be an hour too long as usual. I guess I'm expecting the most middling E3 in quite some time. It feels like a hump year and of course everyone is jumping out to mobile or poorly transitioning to VR (those tech demos are fine but I have not seen an actual game I'd play more than once).
 
With all the Battleborn promotion on the E3 floor, I think it's safe to say it'll appear at one of the conferences. Any guesses as to where? I'd wanna say Sony,because MS already has a moba like with Smite.
