Have a feeling Sony are going to drop bombs this E3

I kinda feel sorry for Microsoft because Sony is going for the kill at this E3 I don't see ether Nintendo or Microsoft or ubisoft or whoever wants in on this 2013 battle of the software and hardware.

Microsoft hasn't shown anything yet and they have deep pockets. They can get any exclusive they want...CoD, GTAV, Battlefield 4 as timed exclusives would make a dent on PS4.

Plus they partnered with Epic and Crytek, two of the leading tech companies in the world. You don't their games will turn heads?

They have deep pockets, but I think they are going to use their deep pockets on shit like Kinect and media features. Of course they will have a few first party games in development, such as a Forza or PGR sequel, Alan Wake 2 and Fable also have th epotential to return. The other thing I think MS will moneyhat is DLC for big games. But I don't see something big as COD, Battlefield or GTA ever going exclusive.
 
Well they didn't show any especially exciting games at their PS4 reveal conference, so hopefully they've a few megatons hiding away to obliterate Microsoft's 720 unveiling.

I don't think they will focus exclusively on Kinect though..at this point they want to attract both the casual and the hardcore markets. Yea sure they will have Kinect games for casual gamers, but they will also cater to the hardcore crowd by showing Halo 5, Ryse, Epic's new IP, Remedy's new game, Forza and more.

Plus we already heard rumors about MS partnering with EA and GTAV heading to Durango

noobasuar banned :)

good :D
 
I hope they do.

If the PS meeting games were any of the big shots in Sony's canon then they are about to have a problem.

They need to announce the biggest shit they have at e3. Get Naughty Dog there, get SSM out there.
They need to get the biggest 3rd party stuff they can get. Announce some new 2nd party partnerships.

FFXIV should be big if it exists. If its a CG trailer and doesn't have a date then fuck that.

A destiny demo would turn some heads.

Hey I hear Epic's Gears of War contract was up. Move heaven and hell to get that. THAT would be fun to see.

good :D


lol, they were wishful thinking based on tenuous links; the EA one literally being that EA weren't at PS4 unveiling.
 
I reckon on the Playstation Meeting they were holding back and saving their big bombs for E3.

I expect crazy announcements. I'm talking:

Final Fantasy XV PS4 exclusive

Return of Last Guardian in all its glory for PS4

New Santa Monica IP that will blow your mind and be a graphical showcase

LittleBigUniverse, full 3D game where you can make 3D platformers, racers and shooters using Move to create assets shows in the tech demo.

Perhaps they will even hold back Uncharted 4 and Ready at Dawn IP due to so much bombs being dropped at E3.

i'm guessing that FF will happen (please be excited everyone, not to say it will be an exclusive but there have been hints about it).
last guardian has a decent chance of showing up after all the talk we've had about it being a ps4 title for a while.
SSM split into 2 teams in 2010, so that one also has a nice chance of showing up and showing their new stuff.
i don't think we're gonna get media molecule's project at e3, doesn't seem like they have much to show yet.
ready at dawn seems like a wildcard, their last game was in 2010, so they could show up.
and we're definitely going to see something from ND, even if it's just a small teaser of nathan drake, kinda like god of war 3 a while ago.

These seem nice, but nothing that would get the non sony faithful excited. This seems like the bare minimum they should do.



Biggest bomb of E3:

Final Fantasy Versus XIII being renamed to Final Fantasy XV and being released exclusively on PS4 in 2014.

Even if everyone is predicting it and expecting it, if Square Enix goes through with it it will still blow everyone's minds. Everyone will still get excited and everyone will go crazy on NeoGAF.


Is there a big FF 13 fanbase on Neogaf? I thought everybody hated that game.
 
it's true though, EA didn't announce BF4 officially for PS4...just like Crytek, they even refuse the acknowledged the word PS4.

I'd say it was a marketing decision to promote current gen, but I guess GTAV and Battlefield 4 could be available on every platform apart from PS4?!

And I thought Crytek couldn't stop talking about the tech in the PS4?
 
I wonder at which point in time they're going to reveal that the 2013 PS4 launch doesn't include Europe. GT6 for PS3 is clearly timed to be the big game for Sony this holiday in Europe.

what is with this?

how many times are we going to see lofty expectations like this?

just wait

Crytek hasn't said a word about PS4...they were asked about PS4 in an interview back in February and the Crytek employee didn't even acknowledged PS4. MS has made a heavy investment in the studio

I think Crytek will put there gamea on PS4 just like they did PS3.

It's not like they've gone MS exclusive all of a sudden, more like they got one exclusive game on the way called Ryse.
 
Basically everyone is gonna be droppin' bombs at e3, or else the game industry is over. Game over man, game over. It's done, finished, games are over.

No sale.

I don't care about Crytek, I just wasted $60 on Crysis 3 earlier this year. Game was total crap, I am just saying they make pretty looking games that get people's attention.
 
I just want to be genuinely surprised for once. TLG on PS4 and FFXV exclusivity would be cool, but they if aren't shown with a soonish release date then I won't give a shit.
 
i think ms bombs wll be bigger. they are done with 360 development, they have epic and crytek, they probably have a deal with ea, and they have a lot of $$$$

sony on the other hand is working on multiple ps3 projects, has to look after vita and has already blown the lid of ps4

This is what I 100% expect.

Sony big studios already either just released or in process or have already shown ps4 stuff.

GG already showed its ps4
Naughty dogs just about to release last of us
Santa Monica just release god of war a
Japan studios about to release rain and puppetare
Mm about to release tearaway
Quantic about to release beyond two souls

The only dev who hadn't release for couple years already showed ps4 evolution , sucker punch and GG. Plus a surprise from knack.

MS on other hand 1st party has been hybrid for couple of years beside forza

well said

basically beside The Last Guardian and Final Fantasy XV, Sony has already shown us PS4 launch window titles. No room for surprises
 
I think Sony are out for blood for next gen.

I think once E3 gets here, it's gonna be the same Console Fanboy Wars all over again.
 
Vita retail-software-wise, at best I expect a sizzle reel of announced games, reveals of whatever support Ubisoft has coming, and maybe a reveal of Bend's next game.
 
i'm guessing that FF will happen (please be excited everyone, not to say it will be an exclusive but there have been hints about it).

It's extremely hard to be excited when you know that the current Square Enix is a joke. Unless SE shows a FFXV with Agni's Philosophy level of graphics I doubt people will care much, and even if they show some game with Agni's Philosophy level of graphics I'll dread the development history of that game.
 
Honestly I see GTA 5 ps4 next gen exclusive more than Durango next gen exclusive, because of the history and the " i owe you one" from R* to Sony.

Crytek already said they plan a lot more F2P games in the future, which is a shame but also makes them kinda pointless ( crysis franchise died after the warhead DLC to me)

Alan wake 2 is the only "owned" MS game I can be tempted by which is also possibly gonna be on the PC.

MS will new games to tempt me and I hope they do show interesting games. If the rumoured zombie game is open world, survival and dark/horror/serious in the mood then I can be tempted too.
 
The only bomb I expect Sony to drop is a $550+ price point. ;P
Looking extremely forward to Sony's and MS's E3 press conferences though. I'm gonna try to take off work and watch it live with the good people of neogaf.
 
I do think that MS are going to do more than a lot of people assume. I'd be quite surprised if they announce three games and then talk about Kinect for the rest of the show. I know the narrative is that they're arrogant and complacent and they're going to let Sony snatch the generation but realistically, MS is in trouble as computing leaves the desk top, they must know they're in trouble, they fought hard for this generation and I don't see why they wont fight hard for next gen either.

According to Verendus who first broke the news, the game looks like CG and people won't believe their eyes. Not sure if it was Verendus who said that or Zeal...
 
If sony has nothing more than what they showed at their reveal, or even if their showcase is mainly based on those games, the hype will fall pretty hard.

I hope for them they got some big things to show. I think they should show, even technical demos of Uncharted/God of War if there isn't much more to show.
